Well I’ve seen alot of tours in my time , but after seeing their tour in Europe I have to say no one can beat The Backstreet Boys for their harmonies and onstage presence.They put on a show of a lifetime , and a show that I was very much privilaged to attend.
I don’t know about The USA , but BSB are still very much loved in Europe……and why not ? they put on an amazing show.
The whole venue never sat down once during the show ,(People stood up as soon as they hit the stage ) and after that it was a party atmosphere till the end of the concert , with everyone singing and dancing at their assigned seat.(there were absolutly no *seat sitters* at this show ) and no seats left to sit in even if you had wanted one……seats were totally SOLD OUT and very hard to come by.

Suprised ?

You shouldn’t be, because they put on a *not to be missed* concert I heard that it was the same at each of their European shows SOLD OUT especially in England.
The 02 arena was absolutly packed to capacity, and when they sang * I want It That Way * * Larger Than Life * And *Everybody* I thought the roof would lift off the place , what a fantastic reception , you would have thought it was 1999 again.
Their songs from their new album Unbreakable was equally danced and sang to , and their merchandise was flying off the shelves.
If anyone thinks BSB are over , you are very much mistaken , from what I saw, the BSB love is very much alive , their music , just as brilliant as ever , and if anyone out there hasn’t heard their new album *Unbreakable* do yourself a favour , and give it a listen to, it is quite different musically from the bubble gum pop that you might associate their music with ( though personally I quite like the bubble gum pop )
Unbreakable is a very mature sound , and if you don’t think BSB can write music , give their track *Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon* a listen to and suprise yourself.
Oh Yeah Backstreets Back , and I for one couldn’t be happier.
I wouldn’t be suprised if when the tour is over with, and all the totals have been added up that BSB will be in the top tours of 2008 .If they come to a place near you , grab the tickets quick ,because if the USA is anything like Europe , you WON’T be ABLE to get a ticket.
Best Concert I’ve EVER been to, what a fantastic atmosphere. Musical GIANTS these guys are, (there’s a reason they have sold over 100 million records worldwide).
I am hoping to catch a few concerts on the rest of their tour when it hits North America.
Yeah it was THAT good.
