Background [ ]

While promoting their appearance at Rock in Rio in 2001, the band stated that have already begun production on their forthcoming tour. Following the performance, SFX Entertainmentannounced the band were beginning a summer concert tour, to promote their upcoming album. Initially, the tour was expected to being May 12, 2001 at the Pro Player Stadium in Miami. English pop group BBMak were slated to be the opening act. NSYNC's third studio album Celebrity was initially postponed to June 26, 2001, but was subsequently moved to July 24, 2001. As a result, NSYNC decided to perform the album's unreleased songs on the tour before it was released. PopOdyssey was considered "the largest production for a pop concert",as the stage was five stories tall, and included three video screens and five mini-stages. The tour was postponed to May 18, 2001, to ensure that the crew were able to complete construction. Additional dates were cancelled due to weather conditions in the D. However, PopOdyssey was one of the most anticipated tours of 2001.

The opening of PopOdyssey was held at Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida to positive reviews. They were joined on tour by several pop acts including: Christina Milian, Samantha Mumba and Deborah Gibson. During the show, public service announcements were shown for an anti-drug campaign with the Office of National Drug Control Policy. The band also partnered with the Candie's Foundation to help prevent teen pregnancy. The tour also opened the newly built Heinz Field. Celebrity peaked at number one on the Billboard 200, setting the second-highest record for first-week sales after their previous album No Strings Attached (2000). The tour ended in the Caribbean islands of Turks and Caicos.

Broadcasts and recordings [ ]

The tour was documented for video during the concert at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans. Bandmember JC Chasez mentioned the band chose to film at that venue because rehearsals were held at that facility. The VHS, entitled *NSYNC: PopOdyssey Live , was released on November 21, 2001. A DVD edition was released on April 23, 2002. The DVD featured the entire concert along with special features, which included: interviews with each bandmember, photo gallery, profile of each musician, web links and a documentary. A special intro video was made for the video release to explain the meaning of the tour name. The original video shown at the beginning of each concert was made available as a special feature. For the Celebrity Tour , the concert at the TD Waterhouse Centre was filmed for a possible DVD release. However, the footage was deemed "unusable" and not released. Bootleg DVDs were sold on eBay in 2003 with ameuter footage of the concert in Anaheim. A professionally filmed video montage appeared on YouTube in 2006.

Before the group began the Celebrity Tour , they performed a few promotional concerts that aired on television. The first was a CBS Thanksgiving special entitled "*NSYNC: The Atlantis Concert". The show was filmed at the Atlantis Paradise Island on November 14 and 15, 2001. The concert was exclusive to guest of the hotel and featured duets with country recording artist, Tim McGraw . The special aired on November 23, 2001 alongside The Rugrats Movie . This concert was followed with another promotional performance. To celebrate the 2002 Winter Olympics , the band was one of the headlining performers for the "Olympic Celebration Concert Series". The concert was filmed at the Olympic Medals Plaza on February 23, 2002. The concert aired live on NBC.

'NSYNC PopOdyssey Tour Dates Change

‘NSYNC’s highly anticipated summer tour, PopOdyssey, is apparently such a spectacle, the group has been forced to delay opening night by six days to properly prepare.

The outing is now scheduled to kick off May 18 at Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida, according to promoters. The previous opening night, May 12 at Pro Player Stadium in Miami, Florida, has been moved to August 2.

Other dates have been changed (May 15 in Tampa, Florida, to July 31; May 24 in Atlanta, Georgia, to August 11; June 6 in Cincinnati, Ohio, to June 8; June 12 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to June 13; June 29 in Detroit, Michigan, to June 30; August 10 in Louisville, Kentucky, to August 9), deleted (May 22 in Charlotte, North Carolina; July 31 in Las Cruces, New Mexico; August 18 in Memphis, Tennessee) and added (August 18 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; August 22 in New Orleans, Louisiana).

Extra time was needed by the production staff to complete the tour’s staging, according to a press release. Promoters said the 88 trucks it will require to carry the production make PopOdyssey the largest tour in pop history.

“[‘NSYNC] wanted to make sure that all their fans got the full effect of this dynamic tour,” Brad Wavra of SFX, the tour’s promoters, said in the release. “We, along with the group, regret any inconvenience this schedule change may have caused for the fans. We promise this tour will be a musical extravaganza for the record books.”

Refunds will be given to fans who purchased tickets to canceled shows.

‘NSYNC is scheduled to play 45 dates in 38 cities. Television-spawned pop group Eden’s Crush will join the group on June 19 and open for the remainder of the tour.

In other ‘NSYNC news, marionettes of the group, like those featured in their “It’s Gonna Be Me” video, are for sale beginning today at www.nsyncdirect.com.

Each $300 puppet is two feet high, weighs four pounds and comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the band member depicted. Only 440 marionettes are available. A portion of the proceeds will go to ‘NSYNC’s charity, Challenge for the Children.

‘NSYNC are in the studio recording tracks for their next album (see “‘NSYNC To Release Celebrity On June 26”). Jive Records hopes to release the first single by the end of April.

‘N Sync Embark on Grand Pop Odyssey at Giants Stadium

By David Fricke

David Fricke

A t Philadelphia’s spectrum last July, ‘N Sync’s No Strings Attached tour felt like the end of teen-pop utopia: cameras confiscated, hand-painted signs seized at the door (“The boys will see them backstage”) and no pretense that music mattered in a show that was all skits and costume changes. But two subsequent televised stadium cameos – the group’s soul-perfect World Series “Star-Spangled Banner” and sure-footed Super Bowl “Walk This Way” – aroused one’s hopes. And at Giants Stadium in New Jersey, a crucial problem with the earlier indoor show in Philly was clear even before the boys had danced down the 200-foot runway from the midfield staging area to the stage proper: Nowhere with a roof can hold what ‘N Sync have become.

The PopOdyssey Tour’s many nonmusical accoutrements improve drastically on last year’s hurray for the toy show, the art-directed plays on the word pop, the black-and-white flick with a not-yet-discernibly-cynical Justin doing a respectable Chaplin and, especially, the regular returns to the staging area, giving fans in the stands something closer to the access they craved. But access is a chimera in all megavenues, and said fans – among whom, parents and kiddies aside, teenage girls outnumbered teenage boys by at least fifty-to-one – already had something no one gets in an arena: sky’s-the-limit grandeur and the relaxed, if illusory, freedom of the open air.

Of course, there was music, too, and even the unfamiliar songs from the upcoming Celebrity album sounded fine, although one wishes “Celebrity” itself wasn’t a dig at gold-digging. Fact is, combining a half-black band that knows its funk with guys who can negotiate our national anthem, the entire ‘Sync oeuvre is beginning to sound as classic as Coca-Cola – even “No Strings Attached,” even, Lord, “God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You.” Bland, sure – let’s not get silly. But also inevitable, historic, somehow wonderful.

This story is from the July 19th, 2001 issue of Rolling Stone.

'NSYNC Tour Secrets: Multiple Stages, Red Carpet And More

'NSYNC fans had to wait an extra five days for the PopOdyssey tour to kick off Wednesday, and the group promises to make it worthwhile with an elaborate stage setup and the chance for audience members to join the band onstage.

In addition to a five-story-high main stage, several smaller stages will be set up throughout each venue. There won't be a bad seat in the house, according to an 'NSYNC publicist.

Originally set to begin May 12 in Miami, opening night was pushed back to May 18 and then to May 23 in Jacksonville, Florida (see [article id="1443496"]"'NSYNC Push Back Tour, Album Release"[/article]).

Calling it one of the biggest pop tours ever mounted, the publicist said that a total of 88 trucks would be transporting two separate, complete concert setups from town to town. While 'NSYNC are playing in one city, a crew will already be setting up in the next city. The group's 2000 tour only needed 19 trucks, the publicist added.

At the shows, 'NSYNC will treat fans to songs from their upcoming album, Celebrity, due July 24. During the title song, 20 randomly selected fans will join the group onstage to take pictures as the guys walk down a red carpet.

Souvenir stands will be selling 'NSYNC single-use cameras, and the group will ask audience members to shoot away during "Celebrity," with the hope that thousands of flashes will create a "paparazzi" effect. One dollar from each camera sold will go to 'NSYNC's Challenge for the Children Foundation, which raises money for kids' programs and other charities throughout the United States.

During its shows, the group will also run a public service announcement for the Office of National Drug Control Policy featuring the group members talking about their "anti-drugs," the people and things they see as healthy, creative alternatives to drugs.

After postponing the tour launch twice and canceling a May 30 show in Foxboro, Massachusetts, because crews wouldn't have enough time to set up the stages, the group suffered a scare at rehearsals in New Orleans last week when Joey Fatone suffered a cut on his leg after misjudging a trapdoor opening. The injury was minor, however, and Fatone rejoined the group for recording sessions in Los Angeles over the weekend, the publicist said.

'NSYNC tour dates, according to the group's publicist:

Moscow metro tour: architectural styles of the subway.

Duration: 2 hours

Categories: Culture & History, Sightseeing

This metro tour of Russia’s capital and most populous city, Moscow, is your chance to get a unique insight into the beautiful and impressive architecture of the city's underground stations. Admire their marble walls and high ceilings representing Stalin's desire for glory after World War 2, and see first-hand how the interiors change with the rise of new political eras. Your guide will lead you through the complex network, which is one of the most heavily used rapid transit systems worldwide, with over two billion travelers in 2011.

Opened in 1935, Moscow’s underground system, now 190 miles (305 km) long with 185 stations, is today one the largest and most heavily used rapid transit systems in the world. On this Moscow metro tour, discover the impressive architecture of Moscow’s underground stations and learn how they reflect the Soviet era.

Getting around by metro, your local guide will take you through parts of Moscow’s infamous history. Stop at stations built during the time of the USSR (Soviet Union) that are praised as one of the most extravagant architectural projects from Stalin’s time. After World War 2, he was keen on establishing Stalinist architecture to represent his rising regime and a recognized empire. Learn how when his successor started the de-Stalinization of the former Soviet Union in 1953, the extravagancy of the architecture was toned down.

Discover how the unique character of each station reflected several different eras. While stations like Kievskaya and Slavyansky Bulvar have pompous halls and high stucco ceilings brimming with extravagant decorations, those built later, like Volzhskaya, are lightly adorned with sparse furnishings. Architect Alexey Dushkin and painter Alexander Deyneka were just two of the many artists who made these magnificent landmarks possible.

Revel in Moscow's glory days, as well as the years of scarcity, on this fascinating Moscow metro experience. Conclude your tour at one of the central stations in Moscow. If you're lucky, you may even find the secret entrance to the unconfirmed Metro-2, a parallel underground system used by the government -- a mystery which has neither been denied nor confirmed today.

There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

PopOdyssey was the fourth concert tour by American boy band NSYNC . Sponsored by Verizon Wireless and Chili's , [1] the tour promoted the band's fourth studio album, Celebrity . The tour's name is defined as "an adventurous journey towards popularity, beginning as just a dream and ending in reality". The tour became the biggest production in pop music, beating U2 's PopMart Tour . The tour, which visited stadiums, was NSYNC's first to include backup dancers, and is known for its elaborate audio and visual effects which included lasers, fireworks, animation, and suspension wires.

Opening acts

Box office score data, broadcasts and recordings, critical reception, external links.

The 2001 tour earned over $90 million, becoming one of the biggest tours of the year. [2] It was also nominated for "Most Creative Stage Production" for Pollstar 's "Concert Industry Awards". The tour primarily visited North America. [3]

While promoting their performance at Rock in Rio in 2001, the band stated production was underway on their forthcoming tour. Following the performance, SFX Entertainment announced the band was planning a summer concert tour to promote their upcoming album. Band member Lance Bass said the inspiration for the tour's concept was the film 2001: A Space Odyssey , saying, "We wanted to do 2001: A Pop Odyssey and pay tribute to pop icons. So the whole tour revolves around the meaning of pop and what was popular from the '40s til today." [4] Initially, the tour was expected to begin May 12, 2001 at the Pro Player Stadium in Miami , [5] with English pop group BBMak slated to be the opening act. [6] PopOdyssey was considered "the largest production for a pop concert", [7] as the stage was five stories tall and included three video screens and five mini-stages. [8] The tour was then postponed to May 23, 2001, to ensure that the crew was able to complete the stage construction. [9] NSYNC's third studio album Celebrity was initially planned to be released on June 26, 2001, [10] but was moved to July 24, 2001. As a result, NSYNC decided to perform new songs from Celebrity on the tour before the album was released. [11] Additional tour dates were cancelled due to weather conditions in the South . [12] However, PopOdyssey was one of the most anticipated tours of 2001. [13] Two months into the tour, the band expressed hopes of later bringing their shows back to Europe, where they first toured before their American breakthrough, [14] [15] in addition to Australia; [16] this did not come to fruition.

The opening of PopOdyssey was held at Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida to positive reviews. [17] They were joined on tour by several pop acts including: Christina Milian , Samantha Mumba and Deborah Gibson . [18] During the show, public service announcements were shown for an anti-drug campaign with the Office of National Drug Control Policy , along with promotional spots for On the Line , a film starring band members Bass and Fatone which was to be released theatrically in the fall of 2001. [19] The band also partnered with the Candie's Foundation to help prevent teen pregnancy . [20] The tour also opened the newly built Heinz Field . [21] Celebrity peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 , setting the second-highest record for first-week sales after their previous album No Strings Attached (2000). [22] The tour ended in the Caribbean islands of Turks and Caicos . [23]

The show begins with a short film that spells out the definitions of the words Pop ("music popular with the general public") and Odyssey ("a long series of travels and adventures") on a typewriter. The words are combined to form PopOdyssey : "an adventurous journey towards popularity, beginning as just a dream and ending in reality.” Joey Fatone , dressed as a professor in a classroom, appears in the video and plays a montage that details NSYNC’s journey from their origins to the present. Fatone then scrawls the phrase Dirty pop on a chalkboard. Hooded figures appear on the main stage in a nod to NSYNC’s previous tour entrances. This turns out to be a misdirection, as the band instead emerges from a midfield stage which connects to the main stage by a long ramp. After kicking off with “ Pop ," they perform a mash-up of old favorites from their debut album.

After performing newer song “The Two of Us”, a film segment of Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick in cowboy attire prefaces “Space Cowboy.” The video directs the audience to look upwards, and the guys appear on the rafters of the stage. Harnesses take them flying above the crowds and to the midfield stage. They return to the main stage and each guy rides a futuristic-style mechanical bull. [19]

The guys transition to the ballad “ This I Promise You ,” accompanied only by guitar, piano, and saxophone, and ending with a new harmony by the guys. A 1920s-style film segment titled “There Was Once a Flower” has Justin Timberlake playing a Charlie Chaplin -esque figure (just like in the " Gone " music video) trying to give a flower to his love interest, only to be rejected. The camera zooms in on Timberlake with a tear rolling down his face, saying, “I just can’t believe she’s gone.” The band, dressed in Prohibition era costumes, sing “Gone” while sitting on steps on the main stage. As Timberlake is the main singer in this song, he moves downstage solo to the catwalk and engages in theatrical displays of heartbrokenness.

As Timberlake concludes singing, bandmate Kirkpatrick joins him onstage and the two humorously fight. While both guys spar, the other band mates swarm the stage on go-karts, wagons, and an oversized teddy bear, accompanied by dancers. To the tune of “Pop Goes the Weasel", the guys spray silly string and squirt water guns at the audience. They perform “ It’s Gonna Be Me ” with a toy theme, referencing their music video .

They segue into “See Right Through You,” singing and dancing atop moving conveyor belts. For “Up Against the Wall,” the guys are bounced onto Velcro walls brought onstage. A short film plays of JC Chasez stuck in a phone call with his gold-digging girlfriend, a phone call that is interrupted by his band mates. Chasez asks the girlfriend “Wait a minute. Do you want me, or what I can buy you?," and the band performs “Celebrity.”

On the midfield stage, the guys shift into a downtempo segment as Fatone reads letters written by fans in the audience. The guys perform a trio of ballads, “Something Like You”/“Falling/“Selfish”. They switch to the uptempo “No Strings Attached”; there is a gag at the beginning of Timberlake’s verse about him “losing his touch.” After his fruitless attempts to summon his touch, Timberlake finally joins his hands together to form a fireball effect that sets off a row of fireworks on stage. [24]

The high-tech villain figure Mobius 8 appears midfield playing remixed snippets of NSYNC songs. [25] The guys shoot out onto the main stage from unseen elevators and sing “The Game Is Over,” with the screens showing video game effects. The group engages in a video-game “battle” with Mobius. The show ends with “ Bye Bye Bye .” Each band member goes inside a cage that is covered in drapes. The drapes are then dropped, revealing the cages to be now empty.

• Justin Timberlake – Lead Tenor Vocals

The tour was documented for video during the concert at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans. Bandmember JC Chasez mentioned the band chose to film at that venue because rehearsals were held at that facility. The VHS, entitled *NSYNC: PopOdyssey Live , was released on November 21, 2001. A DVD edition was released on April 23, 2002. [55] The DVD featured the entire concert along with special features, which included: interviews with each bandmember, behind-the-scenes Easter eggs , photo gallery, profile of each musician, web links and a documentary. [56] A special intro video was made for the video release to explain the meaning of the tour name. The original video shown at the beginning of each concert was made available as a special feature. For the Celebrity Tour , the concert at the TD Waterhouse Centre was filmed for a possible DVD release. However, the footage was deemed "unusable" and not released. Bootleg DVDs were sold on eBay in 2003 with amateur footage of the concert in Anaheim. A professionally filmed video montage appeared on YouTube in 2006. [57]

Before the group began the Celebrity Tour , they performed a few promotional concerts that aired on television. The first was a CBS Thanksgiving special entitled "*NSYNC: The Atlantis Concert". The show was filmed at the Atlantis Paradise Island on November 14 and 15, 2001. [58] The concert was exclusive to guests of the hotel and featured duets with country recording artist, Tim McGraw . The special aired on November 23, 2001 alongside The Rugrats Movie . This concert was followed with another promotional performance. To celebrate the 2002 Winter Olympics , the band was one of the headlining performers for the "Olympic Celebration Concert Series". The concert was filmed at the Olympic Medals Plaza on February 23, 2002. The concert aired live on NBC .

The tour received generally positive reviews for its lavish visual effects, the band’s stage presence, and the group’s new songs from Celebrity . Scott Mervis of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette called the show at RFK Stadium the "mother of all stadium tours", [59] and Jon Bream of the Star Tribune noted the effects were bigger, brighter and bolder than their last tour. [60] For the debut concert at Altell Stadium, Nick Marino of The Florida Times-Union wrote that despite the massive stage, the band's stage presence was out of this world. [17] Marino stated PopOdyssey is "a big pop show, an expensive pop show, but a pop show all the same. NSYNC realizes (thank goodness) that they are famous, in part, for being famous, and they're using that fact as the touchstone for this entire tour. Pretty smart". [17]

Bream also noted, "This time around, the Prefab Five seemed to be projecting more of an attitude, as if some of the songs and the messages on the video screen were flipping a figurative finger at critics. The feistiness adds a much-needed edge, but if critics are NSYNC's biggest gripe, these guys have nothing to complain about". [60] Sean Richardson of the Boston Phoenix thought the show at Foxboro Stadium was "colorful", praising the humor of the vignettes and the audience engagement. [61] Peter Debruge from Entertainment Weekly said the show at Hersheypark Stadium more closely resembled a Super Bowl halftime show than a traditional concert, saying, "Love them or hate them, you've got to admit NSYNC puts on a killer show". [62]

Jane Stevenson of Jam! gave the SkyDome show three and a half out of five stars. [8] She stated the band's decision to perform 10 songs from Celebrity as part of their 18-song set list was risky but wise, and that the "more dance-oriented tunes...will only help to spur sales" of the new album. [8] In a review of the opening show of the band's three-night run at Giants Stadium, Neil Strauss of The New York Times compared the show to U2 's PopMart Tour , stating that PopOdyssey "was everything that U2's PopMart was afraid to be — sheer spectacle for the sake of nothing but spectacle." [63] Though Strauss said the opening number "Pop" was not as strong of a single as "Bye Bye Bye," he commented the band showed a more aggressive side in showing they write their own songs. [63] Strauss singled out the new song "The Game Is Over" for its "futuristic urban twist...with a skittering, robotic video-game beat." [63]

Critics also argued the increased use of dazzling effects distracted from the music and performance. [64] [62] Writing about the Giants Stadium concert, Isaac Guzman of the New York Daily News considered the show to be "all sizzle, no steak". [65] In a review of the Chicago show, Phil Gallo of Variety felt "many fans will have trouble digesting all the audiovisual information on offer" and that the production lacked cohesiveness. [19] Gallo also noted that while the first half of the show seems focused on JC Chasez, "the second half is almost all Justin Timberlake, the heartthrob who does a fine job in the band’s faux silent movie...during “Gone,” arguably the band’s strongest ballad in its three-album career." [19]

Of PopOdyssey's heavy use of effects, Chris Kirkpatrick said the band felt they needed these elements because it was a stadium tour. He commented, "When you're playing in the middle of a giant stadium you have to make it big and you have to be big. It was called the 'Pop Odyssey.' It was a spectacle more than anything else. The music was a big part, but we put a lot into just making it a great show." [66] The band returned to a more stripped-down, less flashier setting when they embarked on the Celebrity tour in March 2002.
