Justin Timberlake @ GM Place, September 5, 2007

The last time I saw a concert with my sisters was Michael Jackson on The Jackson's Victory Tour (BC Place, 1984). We sat in the nose-bleeds, me wearing my raglan baseball shirt with maroon sleeves and Thriller album art printed on the chest from the Dog's Ear. My sisters were rocking big bangs, skinny jeans, and rhinestone glove earrings. The excitement and energy in the dome that night was nearly radioactive, and the spectacle was on a scale that only the world's biggest pop star could produce--fireworks, lasers, and even a magic show where MJ disappeared from a cage suspended in the air, then re-emerged on the other side of the stage. I had only recently perfected my moonwalk while he was already mastering teleportation. My quest to be the next MJ would prove to be a difficult one.
