Matchbox 20

They open the show with "How Far We've Come" which reached #3 on the U.S. Adult Top 40 chart, and follow up with "Can't Let You Go", a power ballad, and catchy and driving "Bright Lights".

They also pay homage to the legendary recording studio by performing "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window", a Beatles song from the Abbey Road album.

New band The Script are next, a three-piece band from Ireland performs songs from their eponymous debut album. Planning to support N.E.R.D. on their UK tour, The Script is enjoying international success and will release their album in the US sometime in August.

They will perform their two singles "We Cry" and "The Man Who Can't Be Moved".

Finally rock icons Def Leppard wrap up episode 7 loudly in heavy metal fashion. They kick off their set with "Rocket", from their 1987 album Hysteria, an album that charted seven hit singles.

Next they play "Rock On", from their 2006 album of covers, Yeah!. They then finish up with "C'mon C'mon" from their latest album Songs From The Sparkle Lounge.
