as you all know i have been to a lot of backstreet boys concerts...33 to be exact...haha...the latest one on my list was on thursday at Hammerstein ballroom in manhattan for the this is us tour...and it was AMAZING!!!!
i was gonna go with little sis but at the last minute she (along with little one) decided to get general admission tickets, sit there all day, and be in the front...the reasons for me not doing this also are 3 fold...1) im a crowdaphobe...too many people jammed into a small place gives me anxiety...haha...2) some people actually have to be responsible and go to work...and 3) (the most obvious) i already had a ticket...duh...so now i was left with the task of filling the extra ticket left behind by little sis...i asked around and ended up bringing cool girl from work...she has NEVER been to a bsb concert before...can you believe it?!?...so this makes cool girl the 3rd person this tour that i brought to their first bsb concert...yay! more fans!!!...she couldnt believe how many hits they had and how many songs she knew...she had a ton of fun and to that i said why do you think i go to so many...haha...
anyway, on to the event...some dj opened for them...he was entertaining for the first 5 minutes then i got old...he played for at least a half hour...its not like he was horrend or anything like that...its just that it wasnt really the place for that...if he was the dj at some club or a party he would have been awesome...i just wanted him to finish so the boys would come on!!!
when the backstreet boys finally came out the crowd went wild!!!...it was def the loudest crowd ive been a part of in a long time!...everyone was singing along to all the songs...it was great...
the boys sand most of their old singles and most of the songs on the new album...and they added in "if i knew then" which was not on the set list the first time around...so that was exciting!...i love that song!!!...but they still didnt sing "shattered"...shattered is def my fav song on the album and i would have LOVED to see it live!
they had dancers again...they added a lot to songs like "all of your life" and "bye bye love"...but they werent really necessary for songs like "all i have to give"...speaking of aihtg...im not gonna lie i was a little upset over no suits and hats...but whatever ill get over it...
sticking with the movie theme of the album they each had a movie they were green screened into...howie's was the fast and the furious...aj's was fight club...brian's was enchanted...and nick's was the matrix...they were all pretty entertaining bits to hold the crowd over while the boys changed...and they contained great lines like "first rule of backstreet boys fan club is you dont talk about backstreet boys fan club" and "has it really been 10 years since i was teen peoples hottest male?"...
lets see...what else???...i think thats it...oh the picture at the top was taken using my phone...i figured out how to zoom after the concert was over...oh well...now i know for next time!!!
