Justin Timberlake’s Man of the Woods has been charting fairly well for the five weeks it has been in release but the sales numbers, like almost every other release of the last few years, are a fraction of his previous albums.
So, it’s his Man of the Woods Tour that must take up the slack in the finances of the Timberlake/Beal family and Justin is putting in overtime for his fans.
The opening show of the tour on Tuesday (March 13) night at Air Canada Center in Toronto included 26 songs, 22 of which were sung by Justin, in a career spanning performance. Toronto’s Star said that “Justin Timberlake hit it out of the park — his most well-rounded production yet”, citing the numerous screens and high production value that was offset mid-show by a campfire on stage with Justin allowing members of his Tennessee Kids getting the chance to show off their vocal skills.
Timberlake filled the set, as would be expected, with songs from Man of the Woods with 9 of the 16 tracks represented. Also in abundance were tracks from Future Sex/Love Sounds with just a smattering from his other three albums.
