Britney Spears Performance at HOB

Britney Spears took the stage late Tuesday at the House of Blues, making what is believed to be her first public concert appearance in nearly three years. Starting the five-song set with her classic "Baby One More Time," Spears was back in top form. The boots-wearing one-time teen pop queen appeared onstage in a pink bra top and a short white skirt with her belly ring out.

The drama of the past few months appeared to be behind her. Her only words came as she was leaving. "Thanks everyone for coming," she told the packed club.

Earlier this year, the 25-year-old successfully completed a stint at a luxury Malibu drug rehabilitation treatment facility after a bout of headline-generating behavior that included a February stop at a San Fernando Valley hair salon to shave her own head in front of television news cameras.

On Tuesday night Spears wore a long brown wig.

Her last concert tour ended in summer 2004. Earlier this year, Spears told fans of her plans for a hot career comeback. "I look forward to coming back this year bigger and better than ever," Spears wrote in a January posting on her Web site, also noting she's "been far from perfect."
