Mercury News:catching Up With ‘Britney: Piece Of Me’

[Pop Sensation]

I’ve been a big Britney Spears fan since the beginning of her recording career, when she rocketed onto the scene and up the charts with “Baby One More Time†in 1999.
I’ve seen at her peak – which, in my opinion, would be the 2001-2002 Dream Without a Dream Tour, which was one of the greatest pop-music spectacles I’ve ever seen. And I’ve followed along during her low moments, when she was seemingly the subject of every tabloid headline.
So, it’s a bit surprising that it’s taken me so long to catch her Vegas show “Britney: Piece of Me,†which has been running since 2013 at The AXIS arena in the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.
I was finally able to correct that situation earlier this month, during a little weekend trip down to Vegas.
‘Piece of Me’ is a great Vegas show, full of big production numbers, cool costumes, flashy dance moves and some of the best dance-pop tunes of the last 17 years.
Britney, 34, is still a hugely entertaining and charismatic performer. She exudes pure star power at every move, whether she’s grooving through a big dance number or simply (and briefly) talking to the crowd.
It’s easy to forget just how many great tunes Spears has in her arsenal. This show serves as an emphatic reminder, with a set list that includes such smashes as “Oops!… I Did It Again,†“Stronger,†“Toxic†and, of course, the show’s title track.
“Britney: Piece of Me†is a great night out for Spears fans. And, given that she hasn’t toured since 2001, it’s definitely the best avenue for seeing this talented artist in concert. For more information, visit the Planet Hollywood website.

"Given that she hasn't toured since 2001" what?

They're obviously not a big fan because they don't know when she last toured
