Subject: A trip down memory lane

I watched the 1998 Disney special today--our home video footage, not the broadcast version. It was a little "shaky" but really fun to see how young everyone looked, and to revisit those energetic early days.

During the concert footage not shown on tv, Dax was introduced by JC as the "baby of the band"--at 20, he was by far the youngest musician. He was so skinny back then! His jaw surgery had been only 3 weeks before the taping--he was still "wired" together and on a liquid diet. He'd lost over 20 lbs by then, and he didn't have any extra lbs to lose even before the surgery.

The live concert was taped at Disney-MGM Studios in Orlando on May 23, 1998 (the original taping date was written on the videotape case), and then it aired on the Disney Channel all summer I think. I believe it's regarded as one of the main reasons for 'NSync's meteoric rise in popularity in the US.

Now I have a box full of "For the Girl Tour" videotapes from Germany to watch--many of them taped from the edge of the stage. And, I also have tapes from a couple of US tours, before the 'NSync organization stopped allowing family videotaping. The rest of the tapes might have to wait for my retirement! I know there's some good stuff on them--I think we even taped the Tupperware show when Britney first opened for 'NSync. Who knew where she was headed? I certainly didn't!

[> Wow! That definitely is a trip down memory lane. I certainly remember seeing the concert on the tv. Makes me feel old. They were all babies back then. They certainly have grown up to be handsome young men. As far as Britney, I would have loved to have seen her performing at a Tupperware show. I don't think anyone could have predicted how Britney turned out. Enjoy the videos. You'll have to share them someday.. -- Mandevilla, 19:21:12 06/17/06 Sat [1]

[> Aww, I love trips down memory lane(although our home videos usually send us kids running from the room wondering what in the world we were thinking/wearing/saying, etc)! I still have never seen that concert, but I just might have to pull out the HBO special or something. -- Janelle, 19:58:34 06/17/06 Sat [1]

[> Where did the times go? I don't know if I have videotaped a concert from Disney special but I do know I did videotaped a concert in Jacksonville, FL on WAM channel before. So much wonderful memories. I'm pretty sure if the guys saw the old videos, they'd be laughing so hard seeing how much changes they have become in the last 10 years! ;) -- Busta, 16:45:30 06/18/06 Sun [1]
