Justin Timberlake Chicago Concert

Typically I have flashy titles to these blog posts, however I couldn't find one that matches the Justin Timberlake Concert I went to in the Spring.  The setting is the United Center in Chicago, the home of the Bulls and Blackhawks.  A preface to this, this was my first ever concert.  My friend and coworker gave me tickets, and I am forever grateful for the experience.  I got to see downtown Chicago prior to this as well for the first time in seemingly forever as well, something I would get to do again a few weeks later.  This is something I will post about later on.
As for the concert itself, it was absolutely fantastic.  The United Center isn't too hard to get to.  My word of advice, do not drive.  Take public transport, as it is very much easier to navigate rather than driving yourself.  It isn't too pricey, as typically ten dollars will get you through the day.  The concert stage ended up being essentially 25 feet from me, as the path Justin and the crew was on for the stage wound through the arena floor.  I can only guess at attendance, but my initial thought was around 19,000 were there for the concert.  They did collapse a lot of seating to get the stage and the floor set, so that is where the figure arrives.                                                           
Concert Stage
Justin Timberlake performs a concert very well.  Of course, probably as per usual, he had his more famous songs like Mirrors, Senorita, and others.  He also brought some songs out from his newest album, such as Suits and Ties.  He got the crowd involved most of the time, but that was essentially a given considering who he is as a singer.  The good part was he gave a lot of credit to the people who was on stage with him.  There was one part where he allowed his castmates on stage to talk and sing.  While I found it confusing at first, I find it quite cool that a musical act such as him would do that for the rest of his cast.  The crowd was into the whole concert most of the time.  I would definitely recommend to go see him if you ever got the chance to. 
All in all, I thought the Justin Timberlake concert was a fun experience for myself.  I went with a friend who also enjoyed being there.  I thought it was great to see Chicago again, and see my first concert ever with this artist.  All in all, it was an amazing time to see Justin Timberlake.  I do want to thank my friend and coworker (if she reads this, she'll know who she is) for the tickets.  I couldn't ever imagine going to something like this and when I did, I couldn't help but give credit where it is due.  But in finality, I would highly recommend seeing a concert with Justin Timberlake.  Make sure you choose well for seating and reasonably price yourself for concerts.
