The Backstreet Boys opened the show in grand fashion with 1996’s tune “I Wanna Be With You,” taking full advantage of the stage’s pentagonal shapes, stairs, ramps, lights and multiple large video screens. The band kept up the pace with “The Call” and “Don’t Want You Back.” What makes the Backstreet Boys resurgence a compelling story is the perspective that they’ve gained along the way. While not necessarily the last ’90s boy band left, they are one of the few that have the star power to fill an arena. While achieving globe success with albums like Backstreet’s Back and Millennium, the previous decade brought some challenges for the band, including legal clashes with management, McLean’s battle with substance abuse and Richardson’s departure. In the years that followed, the group slowly put the pieces back together. Richardson rejoined the group and Backstreet Boys fought their way back, culminating in a long-running Vegas residency in 2017. All that has led to a live performance that was both endearing and exciting. The members were clearly playing loose and having fun, but still kept their vocal harmonies as tight as ever. The DNA songs took the forefront of the first half of the set, allowing each member a song to speak with the crowd, thank them for their support over the years and reminisce about their favorite stories. The Backstreet Boys covered pretty much the entire record, though oftentimes those songs were condensed or truncated arrangements, highlighted by “Nobody Else,” “New Love” and “Chateau.”

The Backstreet Boys are making 2019 feel a lot like 1999 with their DNA World Tour, their biggest trek in 18 years. But while their impressive 33-song set did include every hit any BSB fan could've wanted them to sing, it also featured nine of their 12 DNA tracks -- and proved that they aren't just a nostalgia act. The BSB guys (Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean and Kevin Richardson) gave it their all for the entire two hours they were on stage at Brooklyn's Barclays Center Thursday night (Aug. 15), which is even more impressive considering they've been performing the show almost every night since May 11. They've certainly got it down to a science at this point, but that makes for one hell of a show. After 26 years of playing shows, the Backstreet Boys of course know how to build anticipation before hitting the stage. For the DNA World Tour, screens flashed through the names of the group's first nine albums, with shots of each member appearing before DNA emerged. Before you knew it, the screen was rising, and the Backstreet Boys have arrived. Try not to get chills. http://instagram.com/p/Bz2Hf7ljNQv

Backstreet was back in Milwaukee last night as Nick, Brian, Howie, AJ and Kevin all returned to Wisconsin for one of Fiserv Forum's most anticipated concerts thus far. Currently promoting their newest album, "DNA," the Backstreet Boys' headlining tour of the same name is the band's biggest in over a decade and features a setlist with more than 30 of your favorite BSB tracks. http://instagram.com/p/B2UAvWXFXpU From the tour's massive stage and production to the decades of number one records, fans had plenty of reasons to fill the seats for the sold-out show on Wednesday night. While the Backstreet Boys made a number of memorable tour stops in Milwaukee when promoting their first few albums over a decade ago, Nick, AJ, Brian, Kevin and Howie hadn't performed for their Milwaukee fans since their "Up Close & Personal Tour" in 2005. Needless to say, fans had Wednesday marked on their calendars from the very moment tickets went on sale for last night's sold-out performance. With more "Oh my god, we're back again" shirts than I could count, fans filled Fiserv Forum to give a warm welcome to their favorite boy band. Hopefully it won't be another decade and a half until the guys return. Complete with two massive video boards and a main stage which connected to a hexagon runway surrounding a VIP pit of fans, as well as a wide selection of lights throughout the set, the production was far from average. Although they're dads now, all five of the members still have moves, so they needed plenty of dancing real estate on Tuesday night.
