Hey, my name's Alana and I went to the BSB Concert Feb. 15th at the Albany Pepsi Arena. It was the second stop in their "Into the Millennium" tour. The show was awesome! The guys sang beautifully! I didn't like Nick before, but he got a hair cut and lost a lot of weight and he looks fantastic, really hot! Him and Brian were on my side of the stage most of the time. The guys must have changed at least 10 times! The dancers were great and so was the band. Brian was making funny faces at the camera the whole show! And a fan threw a twinkie on-stage at Nick and Nick threw it at AJ! He also kicked AJ in the butt at one point. During one of there songs they flew around the arena just like *N Sync when they perform "Sailing" at their concerts. I wasn't crazy about the BSB before, but after the concert, I LOVE THEM!!!! I would kill to go again!! I've been to 98 Degrees concerts and *N Sync concerts before, and I have to say, the BSB concert was the best one yet!!
Hi! My name is Angel and I just went to a concert last night, Valentine's Day, in Albany. It was awesome! The Boys did all of the songs from Millennium except I Need You Tonight, plus Get Down, As Long As you Love Me, I'll Never Break Your Heart and Quit Playing Games with my Heart. They changed costumes a lot, and while they did Mindi (the saxophone player) played. Kevin also did a piano solo w/ her. All of the guys did really well, especially Brian (LOL). AJ's hair was it's normal shade of brown, and no new tattoos. There were also a lot of cool special effects-the guys entered flying on those boards, then during QPGWMH they flew back and forth over the audience, throwing candy, flowers and teddy bears. Plus there were always all of these flashing lights. I can't think of anything more to say. It was a blast:)
Hey My name is Melissa and I just went to see them in concert on October 9. Let me tell you they were so good. Brian was just adorable. They sang every song from the Millennium CD except I need you tonight. They also sang all the hits from their other album, including "Get Down". They performed for at least an hour and 45 minutes. I think they changed clothes 5 times. They sang so well too; it was like I was listening to the CD. The way they came was awesome. The Star Trek theme played and they rose out of this box with smoke and were on these boogie boards and the flew to the stage in the middle of the arena. When Brian got down he said a quick prayer it was sooooo cute. Then they opened with "Larger Than Life." But, it was a 5 sided stage so you couldn't see some of them sometimes. But, lucky for me, Brian was on our side a lot. When they sang "Back to Your Heart" Kevin played the piano for whole song. They did this one song called "That's the Way I Like It" and they kind of did a dance with all the girl dancers. It was good. I was really impressed with the way that they danced, because a lot of times they don't dance the best. Anyway it was an awesome concert; definitely the best I've been too, and I just saw 98 degrees in September.
Oh my gosh! The BSB concert was so awesome! Actually, before the concert, I was a huge 'N Sync fan and didn't like BSB that much, but I thought I would go anyway. Well, after that night, my whole view of the Backstreet Boys changed. My concert was Thursday, October 7, in Chicago. I went with my sister and my friend. The concert started at 7:30, but we got there at about 6:00. When we first arrived we saw a huge line of people waiting to get in, but we went around the back and got in right away. My friend really wanted to buy a T-shirt, and I didn't think it was worth it, but I decided to buy one anyway. (Let me add that they were $30 each! No wonder those guys are so rich!) After that we decided to go find our seats, and the people who worked there kept sending us back and forth. Finally we found our seats. The stage was in the middle, and our seats were the first section off the floor, which was pretty good. So we sat down and waited until about 7:45, and the concert finally started. The first opening act was Mandy Moore. I thought she was pretty good, although I didn't exactly like the outfit she was wearing. The next opening act was EYC. I had never heard of them before, but they were also pretty good. By this point I was really anxious to see BSB. So EYC ended and there was about 20 minutes until BSB came out. (It was practically the longest 20 minutes of my life.) The place got dark and all this smoke started coming out, then all of a sudden BSB came out on these surf board things. They were on the other side from where I was sitting, but I could see them through the big screen. At this point everyone went ballistic! Then they started off by singing "Larger Than Life." After that they talked to us for a little while, and said how Chicago was so great and all. Then they sang a bunch of other songs, and then came "The Perfect Fan." Five girls got to go up on the stage with their moms, and each of the Backstreet Boys sat next to one of them. Then they got to walk around the stage holding their hands! It was really funny, because this one lady and her daughter were sitting by Brian, and she held up her camera. So Brian finished his part and did this weird smile. It was so cute! I had only brought two cameras, but I had a lot left towards the end. So BSB finished a song, and then they were like, "Thanks again Chicago. We're the BSB." So I thought it was ending, and I just took a bunch of pictures. Other people thought it was ending too, and some of them even left. We couldn't believe it was over because they hadn't sung "I Want It That Way." So then about two minutes later they came back on stage and sang some more songs. Then I thought it was going to be over again so I got up and was going to try to get a little closer, but I saw this guy who worked there. I thought he was going to yell at me, but he asked me if I wanted to get closer to take pictures. So I'm like, "Yeah!" So my sister and I ran up to about the 7th row, and I used about 5 out of the 8 pictures I had left. Then they started going down, so I took my last 3 pictures. But then once again a few minutes later they came back up again and sang "I Want It That Way." It was really cool because they had the audience sing a lot of it. So after that when they were ending, and I was screaming at my sister to take the pictures, so she used all of her film up. At that point the lights went on and the concert was actually over. We tried to get up by the stage but this really mean security lady yelled at us and told us to go back. Then we decided to go out by their buses, although we thought we would never actually see them. So we went outside, and the bus with the band drove past. We were kind of far away from the other buses, but all of a sudden we heard everyone screaming, and we looked and either Brian or AJ (I couldn't see who it was) looked out the window, and shut the blinds really quick. Then we decided we better go find my dad, and we found him and gave him our stuff, and went back to the buses. Well this time I got really close to this other bus, and all of a sudden Nick opened the blinds and started waving to everyone, then he made a steam mark on the window and drew something in it. A couple minutes later he went to the front of the bus and looked out the window at us. Then he went back and turned off the lights. At this point a bunch of people left, but we decided to stick around and see what happened. So we're just standing there and all of a sudden Nick got out of the bus and ran past everyone into the building! And it was great and all, but what really sucked was that we didn't have any pictures left! We were literally 10 feet away from Nick and we didn't have any pictures!!! Well, after that the security guards forced us to leave. But I wasn't too upset because of what had happened. So now after that experience, I went from hardly liking BSB, to loving them!!!
Hey, my name is Tabitha and my 2 best friends and I went to the September 17 concert in Charlotte, NC. It was a great concert but even better was the fact that we met them. The day started early. The night before we had found all their buses so we were pretty sure where they were staying. We went there and waited for a while and after staying there and not seeing them we decided to go to the Coliseum. When we got there they were doing their sound check. Then we walked to the back of the Col. and AJ walked out to one of the buses. We were on a hill and he was on the lower level. We waited a while longer to see if any others would come out but none did so we left to go get ready for the concert. When we got there we barely had to wait b/c we went in a door that was supposed to be for people with floor seats. We went and found our seats and were looking around and hoping the concert would start soon. My mom suddenly called us and told us to come to the smoking deck which was where we had seen AJ earlier. We stood out there for what seemed like forever watching Nick Carter play basketball. AJ came out a few times and was making fun of nick. He was also smoking.:( Then the concert started w/ them b/c EYC didn't show up. The beginning was awesome. They flew in to Star Wars and after they landed they marched around the pentagon stage with Kev leading. Then during "Don't Want You Back" the best part of the concert happened....Kevin's pants split. I MEAN SPLIT!!:) A wardrobe person came out and pinned them but that didn't work to well. It was so cute b/c he kept apologizing. He had to hold his pants during "The Perfect Fan" while he was walking the daughter around...she also had to help hold his pants at one point. The rest of the concert was great and after we waited around the Col. for an hour we figured out they'd already left. So we went back to their hotel. After waiting so long we were rewarded. Kevin came in a side door first and was signing autographs and after he went upstairs, Brian and AJ came in the front door. Brian is my fav but I couldn't get close to him b/c of the bodyguards :( and I barely got AJ to sign something. But all in all it was great. If you want more details just e-mail me.
Hi!! I am a huge BSB fan, so I was sooo excited when I found out I was going to a concert. It was a Monday night, September 27 in Uniondale, Long Island. It started with about a half hour show from EYC, who in my opinion were not that great. But, I didn't care because I was so excited that the Backstreet Boys were coming out soon!! After EYC left the stage, 45 long minutes passed in which practically everyone in the arena, including myself, was screaming, "Backstreet Boys." It was really exciting. Every time a head popped up from a black tent on the floor, 16,000 screams echoed off the walls of the arena. Finally the lights went out and the band totally dressed in white marched onto stage to the "Star Wars" theme. Then from the black tent on the floor, the Backstreet Boys rose up on boogie boards through a huge cloud of smoke. It was incredible. Red and orange lights glared all around. When they landed, they proceeded to sing "Larger Than Life" on stage until the middle of the song when each boy sat on a side of the stage and was hooked up to cables and began to fly over the audience. Not only did they fly over us, but they caught stuffed animals and stuffed basketballs flying up from the stage floor and threw them out into the audience. They then broke into "Get Down" and then "The One." After those two up beat songs they began to slow things down a bit with mid tempo songs and then ballads like "Spanish Eyes" where they sat on an elevated stage center. They then went back to faster songs like "Everybody." During "It's Gotta Be You" they let us sing some of it. There were many costume changes and the costumes were incredible!! The finale was "I Want It That Way" and they let us sing a lot of that song. Overall it was incredible, a night I'll remember for the rest of my life. The special effects were incredible, the vocals were incredible, the band was incredible, and most of all the boys were incredible!!
