This is being hosted by the wonderful trumpeterofdoom. DO NOT LINK TO THE FILES OR THIS ENTRY ON MESSAGE BOARDS OR COMMUNITIES, and since the files are pretty big, please comment if you download. Also, use a download manager if you can (there's plenty of good free ones, ask if you need recs), to prevent interrupted downloads and bandwith wastage. If you want to repost the megaupload links elsewhere, no need to credit me, I didn't upload them.

Backstreet Boys - Live in Beijing, January 16th 2006.
Link gacked from Isa at DLS. Credit to njzhx? I'm still downloading, will edit in caps if I can once I'm done. From what I've seen, best filming of the three concerts - very steady video, from upper level with close diagonal view onto stage, and the crowd noise is very low.

Complete concert (apparently)

Backstreet Boys - Live in Lisbon, November 11th 2005.
Good quality, but not as close, filmed from an upper level. Films the big screen at times. Still very clear. Good whole stage view. Ends with QPG. Not sure who it was filmed by, person sharing just said a member of the Portugese fan club. Ripped from dvd and posted at NLY by Monica. Avi files.

Sydney concert part 2 - photos and video

Ok, I don't have great notes from this concert, so I'm gonna direct you over to eponymous's journal for her recap of the concert. I'm just gonna focus on some of the amusing/random stuff. More of my photos from Sydney here. I have more videos from a friend, but I'll give them their own post.

( Sydney concert )

Headed home (it was like 1am at this point), and that was the end of my sparkly adventures in Sydney (though yum cha and the art gallery on Tuesday were very nice). You'll need to pester not_nele and canadiankracka for other Tuesday details. All I can say is that they didn't get back to my place til early Wednesday morning, and both were fast asleep, either side of me, for most of the flight to Melbourne. My favourite moment was when not_nele woke up and asked "What the fuck? Oh, we're flying" and passed out again.

Since we were all so buggered, changed plans about going into Melbourne for sightseeing. Instead, we piled into indybrat's car, along with sinden. Plus five people's luggage. It was an interesting fit, but we had Now or Never cranked up high and there's nothing bad about driving with friends and singing along loudly with Nick. We then lay around indybrat's lovely home, watching tv and footage, broken only by a shopping expedition. This included looking for inappropriate clothes we could wear to the Melbourne concert, since we'd been too sensibly dressed (comparatively) at previous ones. I won with a black skirt about two inches long, with another two inches of lace ruffles off the bottom. And a bow at the back. But a fun relaxing time was had by all, and on Thursday morning too, before we geared up and headed off for the last day of Backstreet adventures (sob!)
