Backstreet Boys @ Ravinia

some observations:
1) bad.
2) actual preteens at the show! like it was 1998 all over again. they even squealed at the boys as they came out of the tour bus. people running all over the fairground like Total Ravinia Live.
3) impossible to see the show over the railing, we could only get a glimpse of them on the big screen over the stage (not common at Ravinia, or am i wrong?).
4) BSB think they're relevant and played a bunch of stuff from their new album and bad solo projects no one wanted to hear. that's always an awful thing to do.
5) but hey, IWITW! and i'll never break your heart! and cheesy live-band interpretations of songs that worked much better in late-'90s fluff dance-pop arrangements! at least, i think there was a band. i couldn't see the stage.
