[> *Thinking* Well, Lance is wrong. I want you back was first released in Germany in 1996 (!). I think it was in October. It must have been 1996 coz TUMH was released in Feb 1997 and HWG in May. At that tiime they got so much airplay...But there was also a 1998-IWYB- release. That was in the UK. :) Ah, feels good that he has good memories of Germany :) So do we here have of *NSYNC. *Deep memorable moment* -- Micha, 02:59:31 12/05/05 Mon [1]

[> [> So, I Want You Back had already been on the air for a year before the "For the Girl" tour in October of 1997? I knew that 'NSync's music was playing on the radio when we were there during that tour, Micha. It was several months later, in early 1998, before we first heard I Want You Back on radio in the US (maybe that's what Lance is thinking about)--and even then it was on one of those late night "battle of the bands" kind of shows, where it had to win the most call-ins against another song to stay on the air. Of course, it won easily, but soon after that the big RCA publicity machine was in full gear and 'NSync, already popular in Germany, was on its way to becoming known in the US. The MMC Concert, which was taped in May 1998 (while Dax was still recovering from jaw surgery) and I think first broadcast in July. That concert helped them enormously, and that fall when they got the Janet Jackson opening gig, the deal was sealed and the rest is history. :-) -- Lynn, 06:35:54 12/05/05 Mon [1]

[> [> [> Yep, it was quite a while on air before the tour. And actually, the "For the Girl" tour was already their second or third tour. They first were on tour as support act with DJ Bobo and then on their own in early 1997 but without band. I must admit that I wasn't a fan of them back then - I started being that around May 1997. But I have some articles and stuff from the very beginning from friends going back to 1996. And I want you back was definitely released that early :) And then came the MMC concert and so on and so on...Ah, the good ol' times. They were fun! -- Micha, 02:36:14 12/06/05 Tue [1]

[> [> [> [> Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane, Micha! I knew that the first tour with the live band was October of 1997, because that was when the boss signed on. They were SO excited to have real musicians backing them, and not just doing track shows like they did for the first year. I also remember how excited everyone was when they saw the plans for that first "big stage" setup. Dax came home after that practice when it was revealed, and sketched it out for us, ramps and all. It was his first bigtime tour too. Now that stage would look so tiny compared to some of the huge productions of their last few tours. It was a sweet, innocent time, before lawsuits and mega-fame (with all the trappings and hangers ons that go with it). I'm really glad we experienced the early part--and the wonder of it all. -- Lynn, 06:25:36 12/06/05 Tue [1]

[> [> [> [> [> Thanks for sharing those memories you had with the boys especially the opportunity you got was worth it! :) I've always fascinated with how these stage production/tour works! When they had a stadium tour, I got an opportunity to go in SoundCheck Pass (including free tickets... Chris' friends offered it to me) and I was lucky to sit few seats away from the boys and I watched whole the stage production how they were put together. I enjoyed observing the stage. It was huge and lot of work putting together. Amazing. -- Busta, 23:10:58 12/06/05 Tue [1]

[> [> [> [> [> I absolutely agree. Those first stage(s) was/were so sweet and tiny. But for me one of the best tours they ever gave. Meaning: it was just all so different from those HUGE productions. Which were fantastic as well of course! I mean, they were one of the reasons why I went to the US to see the shows ;) I am also very, very happy about having experienced those early days. Everything was so different: from stage productions to the guys...Ah, and memories are also a wonderful thing! :) They've come a long way, baby. And so did da boss of course. Remembering Dax on that stage and all the others from the band...I could go on and on with those old, wonderful memories but I guess I should quit it now before you all fall asleep, lol. :) -- Micha, 02:37:26 12/07/05 Wed [1]
