    Crowds flood the streets, all pouring into TD Bank Garden’s big arena for an exciting night on Nov. 10, 2012, the night of the Justin Bieber concert.
    Girls are screaming and shoving other girls while parents are sprinting to keep up. Employees are getting trampled while being handed concert tickets. Lines to the concession stands and merchandise are completely insane. As everyone is waiting in the lines, all of a sudden, entrances to the seating become pitch black.

Everything goes silent, then the roar of the crowd causes everyone to get out of line and sprint to their seats in panic.

After everyone gets settled, the opening acts, including Jaden Smith and Cody Simpson, had finished. These performances were good, but didn’t come close to what the “Beliebers” are waiting for.

Fans sit waiting patiently as the timer slowly counts down. It feels like forever, but the time has finally come. The stadium goes completely dark and everything is silent.

The spotlight goes on, but the stage is empty. Suddenly Justin flies over the stage, dressed in all white. The crowd explodes with tears, screams, and utter shock. Justin Bieber comes out on giant wings flying him through the rafters and taking him down on the stage to the deafening roar of the crowd.

He opens with full-on energy and a professional dance crew backing him up to his song “All Around the World.” While some dancers join Justin on stage, others are running the aisles with flags from around the world.

The opening number does not disappoint the crowd and the energy continues throughout the show, which includes the songs “Love Me Like You Do,” “Baby,” “Be Alright,” “She Don’t Like the Lights,” “Fall,” “Die in Your Arms,” “Beauty and a Beat,” “Catching Feelings,” “Boyfriend,” “Believe,” “One Less Lonely Girl,” “Never Say Never,” “Eenie Meenie,” “Outta Town Girl,” “One Time,” “Somebody to Love,” and “Take You”.

Justin entertains the crowd by showing off some of his additional musical talents. Besides the great voice, he also plays guitar, piano, and drums. He gives the crowd a treat with his drum solo and acoustic set on “Be Alright” and “Fall”. He also makes the crowd laugh as he tries his hand at “Cry Me a River” as he says, “I think I’ll stop here, because that’s all I know and I don’t want to mess up the words.”

Justin tells the crowd that he typically plays his acoustic set in a heart-shaped device that floats off the stage, but unfortunately, this particular night, the equipment is having technical difficulties and he won’t be unable to perform it this way. No matter, he sits casually on the stage next to guitar player Dan Kanter. The crowd is hushed, and people hold up hearts to show their sympathy for a young fan of Justin’s, Avalanna Routh, who recently passed away.

A favorite part of Justin’s show is when he chooses a fan from the crowd to be his “One Less Lonely Girl.” The crowd again erupts into a huge roar and the people wait in anticipation for the lucky girl to be picked.

The lucky winner is escorted onto the stage and placed in a big king’s chair as Justin sings to her, making her feel special. He gives her a large bouquet of roses and sends her home feeling like the luckiest girl alive.

After the crowd screams for an encore, Justin comes out for his final set, which ends with “Baby” and a shout out to all the Boston “Beliebers”: “Thank you so much, I love you Boston!” he says as runs off the stage.
