Saturday evening was time for Nick Carter’s Who I Am concert. For this tour Nick did some Backstreet Boys songs, some of his solo songs and some of his favorite cover songs from watching them on TV as he was growing up. Ironically enough, he also chose to do Everybody Wants to Rule the World, which was one that Hanson had just introduced on their latest tour as well. He did several wardrobe changes and had a screen behind him with different graphics and/or music videos depending on what song he was singing.
For some of the songs he played acoustic guitar and some electric. He had Nick TV guitar picks, similar to the MTV logo to go with the theme of watching the music videos on TV and I was lucky enough to grab one!
He did some new arrangements of some songs too – one song started out sounding like it was going to be some Ozzy Osbourne – but it turned out to be Shape of My Heart? (I think that’s what it was anyway – my memory is fading)
He even tried to write a boyband love song to Connecticut. It didn’t roll off the tongue as easily as he had hoped, but he was just trying to show how easy it was to write a love song with just a few key words.
*Not sure if this setlist is totally accurate – it is the one that was on the stage but I question if he did Do I Have To Cry For You or Superman and seem to recall him doing a cover of Sharp Dressed Man and Made for Us that isn’t on the list. (I believe they were sometime after Wanted Dead or Alive)
