They opened with a bit of the song "My Pony" that moved right into the We've Got It Goin' On remix, AJ raps so good! (I think AJ waved at me during this song!) Then they moved into Let's Have A Party, Nick's song, where Kevin goes "There ain't no party like a Backstreet party cause a Backstreet party don't stop, there ain't no party like a VANCOUVER party cause a Vancouver party don't stop!"

After that they brought out these stools and sang some songs acapella, like part of Who Do You Love (from their next album), Boyz II Men's End of The Road, some Colour Me Badd song, and Just To Be Close. (Too bad they didn't sing the beginning though, cause I wanted to hear AJ say "Yo, drop the verse D," or "Take it Guedo!" like he sometimes does!). After that they sang their solo songs.

First was Kevin with Nobody But You, and he must have wondered how I knew all the words to it when the song wasn't even released in Canada! Next was Howie singing Prince's Betcha By Golly Wow, and it took me a couple of seconds to recognize it because it sounded pretty different (Good though!). After Howie was Nick, and I loved this song he was singing cause it was so romantic and stuff, although I almost couldn't hear it because all of the girls were screaming so loud! (I think it was called Heaven In Your Eyes) Then there was Brian, who had some props like a table, lamp and loveseat set up for him to sing with. His song was good, I think it was One Last Try, and Iiked the suit with the scarf he was wearing. After Brian was one of my personal faves of the concert, AJ singing Brickhouse, which is like a 70's song by the Commodores. He was wearing this tight, red velvet type shirt with a black hat and a cane! He looked so adorable!

The guys joined him in the background about half way or so through the song. I loved at the end of this song where AJ's like "1 time!" (he was talking to the drummer who would play the # of beats he wanted, which the guys would do some neat moves to) "2 times!" "4 times!" "10 times!" (and this time he only did it 9) "That was only 9!" And then there was a big "bang!" for which AJ did this cool move to. After that, they introduced all the instrument players, and when they played, AJ took his cane and pretended he was playing the guitar, while Howie had a guitar and was doing the same! After that they came out and sang an awesome song, Anywhere For You. Next was Darlin'. Then it went dark for a sec and when the lights came on a little, these drums started to come up out of the floor with a whole bunch of smoke. Then Nick came out (wearing this awesome green suit thing with a Kangaroo hat, that just looked da bomb on him!) and played a drum solo, which was really cool.

Then Kevin came out (wearing a neat purple velvet suit) and goes "I wanna play a solo with ya, can I get a piano here?" At which a big white piano starts coming out of the floor, the same way as the drums, but on the other side of the stage. Kevin sits down while everyone's quiet and he says "We're gonna play a song from our next album called," and this is where I yelled "10,000 Promises" cause I knew what was coming, after which he said "10,000 Promises." They played it, with Nick putting the towel on his head, and he looked like he was concentrating so much, I could tell by his face. He looked so sexy! Then Nick threw his sticks and the towel he was using into the audience, but not very far! When that was over, they came out and sang I'll Never Break Your Heart, another really good song!

Next came Boys Will Be boys, where when AJ sings "You've got a secret, so incredible in my eyes" he wiggles his sunglasses up and down a little, so cute! After that I think they did the infamous Get Down, while AJ did the part that Fun Factory did on the album, really good in fact! Next was a really cool part! They came out in Grizzlies jerseys and sang Quit Playin' Games (With My Heart)! They were all #50, but I remember AJ had a Reeves one on! I loved the part where Nick sings the part that he doesn't sing on the album, only on the video! He puts so much heart and soul in that solo, he sounds rockin'! Nick, of course, was the only one wearing a shirt underneath his jersey! I am sure they're coming back to Vancouver, cause when Howie goes "Should we come back here again?" Everyone yelled "YEAH!" When they come back, I'll be sure to buy tickets and hopefully meet them next time!
