One of the coolest things about growing up in the 90s was how diverse the popular music was...you'd have a sequence on MTV where it was like Alice In Chains -> PM Dawn -> Kris Kross -> Garth Brooks -> Color Me Badd. It was fucking WILD. And while the boy band pop thing never resonated with me, the Backstreet Boys brought joy to millions of fans over the years and there's something beautiful about people connecting to music - even if it's not the same music that elicits that reaction from me.1996 Charlotte
1998 Raleigh
2000 Virginia Beach
2003 Raleigh
2016 Raleigh Thanks HB2
2016 Columbia
2020 Baltimore Thanks COVID
2022 Baltimore The only original COVID venue not rescheduled (due to construction) :(
2022 Denver

2025 Raleigh 1 and 20 -

I loved UB40, Duran Duran and Howard Jones in the 90s. I do not trash other bands that people like. But, I do not get the love for Metallica.0

yeah.. for me in 1996-1997 I wasn’t listening to no code. I am a big pearl jam/Jeff Ament fan and they have been on heavy rotation for many years .
However, the nostalgic memories of BSB are pretty awesome tooPost edited by ally12 on2005: Ottawa / 2011: Ottawa / 2016: Ottawa / 2022: Ottawa / 2022:Quebec City / 2024: Vancouver / 2024: Vancouver / 2024: New York City0 -

Glass houses, y'allAlso the sphere has booked U2, Grateful Dead and the Eagles. Not exactly modern bands.Younger and mid career bands need to build their audience and loyalty among their fan base. Expecting fans to drop a grand on travel plus blow some of the precious free vacation days we get in the states is no way to do that.If this were the 90s there would be staunch opposition to PJ doing an exclusive Vegas residency at the expense of tour dates. The sphere has a very small target market ( and enormous overhead as well.).0 -

And I have the same observation about pop music in the '80s. If you listened to top 40 radio in the '80s, you might hear Michael Jackson followed by Bon Jovi followed by Eddie Rabbitt followed by Atlantic Starr followed by Poison followed by Prince followed by Pretty Poison. (I'm being a little anachronistic there because Eddie Rabbitt was an early '80s star.) Today, top 40 radio is almost completely devoid of "classic" rock and non-hip hop R&B (although country has enjoyed a pop-radio resurgence, but the country that gets played on pop radio is all hip-hop influenced). Non-hip hop R&B has almost gone extinct from the mainstream. I really miss it.I gather speed from you fucking with me.0 -
