Boston FS/LS Review

That might explain why the pop sensation returned to the TD Banknorth Garden for the second time in six months last night, admitting just before the end of his set that the sold-out crowd was one of the loudest he'd ever heard.
"And I'm not just kissing your (behind)," he promised.
The two-hour extravaganza began with all the buildup and fanfare of a space shuttle takeoff: Fog machines were in full effect, the stage was bathed in red light, JT was muttering the words "Future Sex Love Sound" from some cavern beneath the stage, and female fans were screaming maniacally in anticipation.
Clearly, greater suspense delivers greater satisfaction, as Timberlake proved with a high-energy set defined by a multitude of dancers prancing and posing around the stage, an expansive band, frequent beat-boxing interludes, and Timberlake balancing vocals, multiple instruments and extensive choreography almost effortlessly.
The 26-year-old worked in a few ballads throughout the evening, including the show closer "(Another Song) All Over Again," and "Gone," a throwback to his days with *NSYNC.
The majority of the set, however, featured pounding dance tracks, including the Neptunes-produced "Like I Love You" and the space funk of "My Love," "LoveStoned" and "Sexy Ladies."
Dim lighting, Timberlake's three days' worth of stubble and three-piece suit set helped to set the tone for an evening of sexy sophistication, while the giant round stage made viewing the star an equal-opportunity affair.
Space funk master Timbaland emerged for "Chop Me Up" and stuck around for his own DJ set/-Timberlake intermission.
He also reappeared for the pulse-pounder "SexyBack" during Round 2 of Timberlake, which also included "Rock Your Body," "Cry Me a River" and "Damn Girl," with scantily clad dancers pushing the boundaries of PG-13-friendly pop.
Opening act Good Charlotte combined elements of hip-hop, new wave and pop-punk impressively onstage.
They may not have had much in common with Timberlake's set besides black and white suits, but lead singer Joel Madden (whose girlfriend Nicole Richie was on hand) did make an astute observation after taking a look at the crowd.
"I've never seen so many girls in one place in my life," Madden said.
"It's amazing."
