Her costumes were more subdued, the dance routines — while beautiful — were restricted.
In a set that clocked in at more than an hour and a half, and featured multiple costume changes and four acts, Jackson also ran through a bevy of her greatest hits, taking it all the way back to her mid-’80s breakout with songs like “What Have You Done for Me Lately” and “When I Think of You.

That includes songs like “Throb” from the 1993 album “janet” and the 1999 Blackstreet single “Girlfriend/Boyfriend,” for which Janet was a featured vocalist. The song, a minor hit for Blackstreet fits in well with Jackson’s eclectic body of work.
