Ok, I've spent half the day watching LiveDaily for reports from the Backstreet concert at the House of Blues (to raise money for hurricane victims).
eponymous told me I should post some of the snippets I've been finding, to save others from having to do the same ;)
There were a couple of local acts as openers (and Hulk Hogan's daughter!), then Boyz II Men performed to a great reception, but reports say the roof almost came off the place when the Boys came on.
Some blurry photos
here. They and others are also gathered together
here.
Songs performed included (may be incomplete and not quite correct order): The Call, Shout (which Nick did on his solo tour), Shape of my heart, Rumors, Beautiful Woman, Climbing the walls (Nick played guitar), The One, I want it that way, More than that, Show Me the Meaning, All I Have To Give (hat dance!), As Long as You Love Me, I'll Never Break Your Heart, Poster Girl (mentioned again as first single), Larger than Life and Quit Playing Games, then Drowning and Everybody (Backstreet's Back) as the encore. Some of the older songs were reworked a bit, saw a very positive comment about LTL.
The atmosphere sounds like it was great, it was sold out and the crowd just went nuts. The guys danced a lot, apart from AJ, who someone said seemed a bit frustrated at not being able to dance (the others literally danced around him a bit). They said he should be ok and dancing within a couple of weeks. And awww, Denise was there, cause AJ looked up toward VIP & said "I love you mom". Also spotted, AJ's girlfriend Katie and Leigh B.
"The Boys are 100% back. They were playing around onstage alittle bit and sounded/looked great and even Brian was making his funny faces & Kevin was shaking his butt so much. There was one part when we the fans started singing while they were lined up on stage with there heads down and I looked at Howie and he had a grin from ear to ear. They were really happy to be back." - Smitty at LD.
Joey was there! And not only that...(before the show) "he got on stage and they said how no one ever thought they would ever see a Nsync at a BSB concert and he said oh well and actually dissed and I mean dissed all of the Nsync guys....he was saying like who cared about Justin or Chris and who the heck is Lance Bass anyways he said. All anyone needed was him. He was throwing his arms up in the air when he was saying it. I am sure he was joking but it was funny." - from allydeb at the MFC. Heee, I love Joey! *g* She also referred to Lou P being there, I'm hoping that wasn't who I'm assuming it was. And apparently Nick threw his hat into the crowd, and security had to break up a fight between some fans over it, d'oh!
( Some more great reports! )Now I've gotta go put "Everybody" on really loudly, cause Backstreet's Back ;)
