Boston Concert Review (9/21-9/22)

Ok, I'm gonna skip the whole list of songs because by now I'm sure you know them, if you don't I'll put a list of the 19 songs at the bottom of this review.

The show starts between 8:30-8:45, you'll know when it's gonna start because the band walks onto the stage from the audience, they're in all white outfits, then you'll see all this white smoke coming from a black box about 75 feet behind the stage, then you hear a countdown of 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2, then the backstreet boys come flying out of the black box on surf boards, they fly straight to the stage keeping really straight faces. Once they land the dancers help them out of the surf boards and they stare straight into the audience with the most serious faces you've ever seen, they do this to all five sides of the stage, then they brake into the best performance of Larger Than Life that you've ever seen. Next they perform a few more fast songs, then they each introduce themselves to the audience, they change for the first time of about 8-10, I lost count. They come back out and do some of their older songs, (off the Backstreet's Back or Backstreet Boys album). The dancing is great and despite my previous concerns the dancers really do add to the performance. The stage is so big it really would look pretty empty without the dancers, but if you don't like the dancers don't worry because they're only out there about half of the time. My favorite performances were Larger than Life, The One, Don't Wanna Lose You Now, Spanish Eyes and I Want It That Way. After Show me the Meaning of being Lonely, they left and came back for their first encore, It's Gotta Be You. They only sang about half of the song then they stopped to introduce their dancers and all the band members. Then they leave again, many people started to leave, but not us, we knew that they just had to sing I Want It That Way. So they came back and sang the best performance of I Want It That Way! They sounded absoultely amazing, and when they crawled under the stage for the last time, it was so sad, but at the same time it was great because you had just seen the greatest concert of your life!
