Backstreet's back, alright. The Backstreet Boys brought their DNA World Tour to Oklahoma City's Paycom Center on Wednesday, and with them, they brought the high-energy dance moves and greatest hits fans have loved for decades.

The OKC show concludes the United States leg of their tour, and next week, members AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, and Brian Littrell will start their Europe loop in Lisbon, Portugal on Oct. 3.

The boys sang crowd favorites like "Everyone," "I Wanna Be With You," "The Call," "Incomplete," Shape Of My Heart," "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" and "I Want It That Way" and tied up their 2-hour set list with encore songs "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" and "Larger Than Life."

Though the boys in the boyband are looking toward the group's 30th anniversary next year, the group still has that charisma that keeps fans yelling, jumping up and down, and crying happy tears.

The lighthearted talk with the audience between songs made the show engaging, but also let the members change costumes - including a scream-inducing quick change as AJ McLean and Kevin Richardson tossed pieces of their outfits into the crowd.

The choreography with the group is also top-notch and entertaining for all ages.
