WHERE DO I BEGIN??? Tonya Mitchell, Lil Romeo, and BBMak opened...Steve introduced them...wasnt anything great...
Onto *NSYNC... Okay well these are the songs they performed...I don't know if they are in this particular order...I'm sure of what the first 5 are...
Well it started out with a movie clip of Joey, dressed like a nerd...He wrote 'POP' on blackboard and said something to the affect of "This is where we started.." the clip went on with the guys talking about how they met and their legal battles and their sales...After that, the music got got crazy...Keep in mind, there is a walkway down the middle of the floor/audience that goes all the way to the back where another higher stage is set up. Well there is a pyramid set up on top of the stage and that's where they come out...The perform Pop. They run down the walkway and perform the rest of it on the main stage.
Oh yeah there are also 6 balconys that extend from the mainstage (think the side ones they had on the first tour...except these are out the front) and there are two big ROUND ones on the end where they all dance and stuff.
Anyway--at one part in the song they tear their shirts off but they have another one on underneath.
Next they perform Tearin Up my heart. No big thing there. Then they performed God Must Have Spent.... Of course Lance came out and spoke as usual. On the right side of the stage (if you are in the audience looking at it) is where they go up on pedestals, Lance's being the last to go up. After this the order of the songs gets kinda shady. They disappeard but the Jumbotron splits and they reappear sitting on this stair thing that glides down the steps to the bottom. They performed Just The Two of Us, is what it sounded like it was called. It was cute.
I believe This I Promise You was next. They were wearing jean vests with their initials and there were candelabras every where...they performed it like they did on the Grammy's. It was sweet.
Next I'm PRETTY sure they performed Space Cowboy, my favorite of the whole night. It started out with a film clip of Lance and Chris, wearing cowboy outfits and riding on horses and talking about Pop. It showed them as if they were cowboys and 'entering into the new world'...Lance said to call him Jackson. It was cute. Then they actually came out and they flew across the air to the back stage and then ran back the walkway and got on mechanical bulls...From Left to Right was Justin, Joey, JC was in the back in the middle, Chris and then Lance. I have about 10 pics of Justin on it. Hehe. IT WAS HOTTTTTTTTT! and looked like fun..
They wore jean outfits and they had chaps on...After the song Chris was walking down the walkway acting stupid and taking his chaps off..he kept rolling around on the ground. They were taking the bulls off the stage and he stuck his head in the bulls ass and was yelling and stuff...it was hilarious.
I'm thinking that "Gone" was next...that is the most beautiful song. I don't like ballads that much but it was great...It showed one of those silent films, black and white and they were wearing those suits with the tails and some were wearing top hats...and Justin was trying to give this girl a flower...she rejected him so he left...he met up with the other 4 and they tried to cheer him up--Joey did the hammy dance; Chris tried to play golf and fell over; Lance and JC did some Three Stooges skits (Lance made JC pull his finger..was hilarious) but Justin looks into the camera and it closes up on his face...he's crying and says "I cant believe that she's gone." The lights come back up and they are sitting on some steps, wearing the old fashion outfits...Justin just KILLS the song...Meaning he sings AWWWWEEESSSOOMMMEEE! I was crying. At the end, he is bent over and Chris goes up behind him and wacks him on the head with a giant boxing glove. Justin asked 'why'd you do that man?' and Chris said 'cuz it was fun' and whacks him again and then screamed 'Oh look TOYS!!'
"It's Gonna Be Me" was next...They had giant toys on the stage, Justin was riding a tricycle...JC had some girl in a wagon..(yes they had 5 girl dancers) Joey grabbed a giant teddy bear and flopped on the ground right in front of us and stuck his thumb in his mouth...I got a great pic of that. They did that '1 2 3 to the 4' that they did on the MTV VMAS. It was great!
Next I'm thinking was "No Strings Attached"...They were split up and dancing alone. Lance was by us. The only difference was when Justin does "He doesn't give you...." and "throws" to make the lights blow, it doesn't happen and he says he 'doesn't have anything left'...then they go into some crazy thing and make fire and smoke come out...It was crazy!
Then, Lance introduced the band though I'm thinking I have the order of songs messed up here...anyway he introduces half the band, Joey comes out dressed and introduces the other half...they now have trampolines and targets set up...they perform a song called "Up Against the Wall" or something to that effect. It was PHENOMENAL...On my list of faves...The girls came out and were throwing them up on these velcro board where they would stick. It was cute.
I'm thinking next was when they went to the stage in the audience and performed three snippet ballad songs. Joey talked about how people write them letters and they dedicate them to the people there in the audience...they did a song I can't remember, then "Fallen" and then "Selfish". They werent the high point of the show for me.
I'm thinking next was "Celebrity" which was an awesome song...some girl comes out and is taking to her friend on the phone saying that 'JC never buys me those diamond earrings i wanted'..then JC beeps in phone...While JC is talking to her, Joey calls...he's driving down the road with celery hanging out of his mouth and JC keeps saying he is talking to his girl...He goes back to her and then Lance beeps in and is sitting in a lawn chair, brushing his hair and says 'What are YOUUUUUU doing??'...JC yells at him and hangs up to which Chris calls and JC says 'WHAHHHAAATTT???' and Chris remarks that he has an atittude and that he's trying out his 3 way and then there's Justin riding on a boat...JC kept getting pissed off and finally goes back to his girl. She asks him the question...he says 'Do you love me or just the things I buy you?'. They come up out of the floor on the left side, they have ropes set up in the middle and about 20 girls get to go onstage and take pictures of them...nothing big.
They said "Bye" which we knew was going to happen but knew they weren't leaving...They come up on the screen playing a video game and then they get transported into the reality...Some freaky looking guy comes out on the back stage and does some freaky electronica stuff...JC and Joey come out and JC starts singing "Game Over"...It sounds like he's singing about being played and the game is over...then he and Joey walk off and Lance, Justin and Chris come catapulting out from the floor and dance together. Then they all do and this guy starts controlling them or something by making them move...weird stuff...it was a great song.
And last but not least, they do "Bye,Bye,Bye"! The clip is talking about some immortal being wanting to be mortal or something. My camera proceeded to mess up here and I couldn't see much. They finally got into these gold boxes with screens in them...the screens dropped and they were gone.
The end :) Im sure there are some things that are missing in there. The show was great. I got a shirt(they are $32.00), a wonderful tour book, buttons and a giant glow stick.
