I went to the Fed 3rd concert and I don't exactly have the words to describe it. When I woke up that morning I was pumped (just as I was since the day I got the tickets). The morning seemed to go by so fast, all I did was talk on the phone to the people I was going to the concert with and get ready. I was all packed and dressed by like 11:30! By this point I was sick to my stomach:) I just couldn't wait any longer. Then finally it was 2:30 and my mom and I left to go pick my cousin up half way. As soon as we pulled up my cousin ran to me and pulled out her gigantic Burger King banner. Her father works at BK so we had like all these posters and stuff. But let me tell you this banner was huge! Only half of it had BSB on it. The other half was a pic of a whooper so we folded it in half. Even when this thing was folded in half it was about 6 feet long!(no joke) Anyway, our next stop was my best friends house. There we met up with my best friend her sis and her 2 cousins. From their we went to a sub shop because we were planning a tail gate party. My 5 bsb buddies and I thought it would be cute if we wore our BK crowns inside the sub shop. LOL did we get funny looks! And as we were waiting for our subs to be made the video for the call came on and I started screaming! The guy making the subs thought we were insane. Once the subs were made we all hopped into teh car and loaded up the CD player for the trip up (it was about 1 and a half hours so plenty of good tunes were played...bsb tunes of course)
When we got to the arena we imediatly started to parade around the place with our banner(aka "tarp") We went to all the radio stations and they all were like "wow did you girls steal that from burger king?" As soon as we were done showing off, we were ready to eat our subs(i hadn't eaten anything all day so I was starved) But our well planned tail gate party didn't turn out so good because it was around 20 degrees. So we had to eat inside that car, it was still fun. The only problem was that I was shaking so much and couldn't hold me soda.
Once we were finished eating, our heart beats were rising and they were letting us in, it was time for the show to begin(lol). About an hour or so after we were seated Krystal came on. Good singer but she really need to work on her stage appearance.lol The seats we had we kinda high but we could see the stage very well and I rarely looked at the screen.
Soon after Krystal got off the stage, the lights turned done low and the piro started! The piro was so awesome at this concert...I mean the way they used was very creative. BSB came out of little holes on the stage that acted like elevators. They opened with "Everyone". Was there ever a better opening song then that in history? I mean it is about opening a concert so it went perfectly. After "Everyone", they sang "Larger Than Life". Then. BSB went into a long set of songs from Black & Blue. The dancing was so incredible at this show. My mom said she saw alot of improvment from the Millennium tour! And for once the dancing wasn't centered around their dancers...they Boys did mostly solo dances (meaning just the five of them) They sang every song from Black & Blue except for "It's True". The songs they sang that weren't from Black & Blue were "If You Stay" (Bootie Call soundtrack) "Larger Than Life", "I Want It That Way", "Show Me The Meaning..."(all from Millennium), "All I Have To Give", "Backstreet's Back", and "I'll Never Break Your Heart" (debut US album)The thing that is the best about BSB concerts is the little cute twist they put into their shows. Like who they wanted everyone in the arena to get a good show so they lowered a cat-walk and went to the other side of the arena.
And I wanted to cry when they went into the "Backstreet Wardrobe" lol. They placed a box over one of the holes and sorta did like the clown in the car trick. Once they were all in the screens showed what was going on in the dressing room! lol It was sooooo cute! It was so funny because right before they did this AJ said "Do you like the clothes we're wearing?" and we all knew what was going to happen so my best friend and I started to chant "Take It Off!" And before you knew it our whole section was chanting! The encore of the show was none other then "Shape of My Heart" And once they were done singing that they all said "Going to a place near by...gotta go!" and went down in their holes and that was that.
One thing that I did differently at this concert was try not to meet them. usually at BSB concerts I wait by the VIP place and try to catch a glimpes...but we were so tired. Once we got home my cousin and I watched the "All Access Video" till we fell asleep...lol:)
