Every single night was so memorable! There are SO many things that stick out in my mind, but I'll just list a few! November 26, 1999, Rupp Arena, Lexington, KY: *Walking into Rupp Arena and finding our seats that we had bought shortly before from scalpers and tears forming because I NEVER in my life thought I'd EVER be that close to them! *Getting to meet Brian's parents. They are the sweetest people! I see where Brian gets it! *Getting to stand front row for IWITW, even tho it was just ONE song! *Howie shaking my hand during IWITW, and Nick looking at me! :) *SIGH* *The concert itself! Every single one of the songs were AWESOME! These five guys are truely HEAVEN SENT! Their voices are so perfect! *Brian and Kevin taking their moms up during the Perfect Fan [and me balling my eyes out]. November 27, 1999, Rupp Arena, Lexington, KY: *Nick dropping his hat during AIHTG! That was the best part! I had upper arena, so nothing big happened like the night before, but it was yet again, an AWESOME show! March 10, 2000, Conseco Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, IN: *I will always remember December 11, 1999 the day I got my tickets. We went to Frankfort, KY, not sure if we'd be able to get tickets to Indiana from there, but sure enough, 9 am came around, and the guys hands me our tickets. Row 1...I cried and cried and cried! Something I never expected in my entire life, I had just received FRONT ROW tickets to see a concert, and not just ANY concert, THE BACKSTREET BOYS! I was in so much shock, and then the concert came around, I went to my seat, and couldn't believe it! The day was FINALLY here! Not only were me and my friend the ONLY people from our school there, we had FRONT ROW! Now on to the highlights! [I'm gonna try to go in order!] *Dennis Gallo seeing my sign [Where's the Love? I NEED A GUIDO!] and "talking" to me while on stage when the dancers and band first came out! LOVE YA DENNIS! *BSB flying out and taking the stage, parading around. I could not even believe I was that close. And when Howie winked at me, I died! [I was holding my "THANK YOU!" sign!] *AJ waving at me cause of my sign, and Howie winking again. *Nick looked hot with his new hair cut! :) *Nick and AJ's QPG dance, one of my FAVORITE parts! And me doing it with them! :) *AJ threw water on me again [he did in Lexington] and got my Guido sign wet! :) *Howie litterally READING my sign during the Perfect Fan [My Mommy's watching from heaven...can I come up for "The Perfect Fan" please?] and blowing me a kiss! Not only was it great that he did that, I knew he actually cared. He looked at me so sincerely! *SIGH* *When Kev was playing his solo, Tommy was down on the floor talking to some guy, and he saw my sign! Kev's solo was another AWESOME part! And Nick playing the drums during BTYH, even tho I didn't know [he was on the opposite side and I couldn't see the TVs! Oh well!] *Dancing to Everybody with Kevin right in front of me, dancing too! :) I danced with Kev....*SIGH* not really! :) *After the first false ending, Tommy came over and goes "YOU COME HERE!" to me and I was like AAAHHHH so he told me he'd try and get me a Guido......... *Brian Thomas Littrell TALKING TO ME! Even if it was only two words, I will never forget it! Those 2 words? "Your Welcome!" AAAAHHHHHHH *Just being there, standing not 10 feet away from the greatest 5 guys in the world, my total inspirations, being in a state of total bliss. *SIGH* it was a night I will never forget, and something I am forever grateful to them for! [And Holly for taking me! LOVE YA!] March 11, 2000, Conseco Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, IN: *Talking to Mindi that morning at their hotel *Talking to Dennis at the venue about my Guido! :) [Never got one! GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRR! Oh well!] *Seeing BSB again for my 5th time. And having an awesome seat once again! [15th row of the section, not far back at all!] *Howie taking his mom up for the Perfect Fan! [Now I've met/talked to 2 moms-Jackie Littrell and Denise McLean-and seen 3 moms-Jackie Littrell, Ann Richardson, and Paula Dorough-on stage! Now I just have to see/meet Jane Carter! :)] *Brian and Kevin talking about friends from KY being there! [I SCREAMED! :)] *The joy I felt when these 6 girls [not all together] were sneaking down and I told them to sit by me [there weren't many peeps in my row]. I've never seen someone so happy! I'm glad that I could bring joy to them by letting them have good seats to BSB! Well, I've written a book, but I do that a lot when it comes to BSB! :) I hope everyone else had the awesome opportunity to see these 5 wonderful guys, and I hope everyone had a good time! Once again, I'd like to thank Brian, Howie, AJ, Nick, and Kevin for putting on an awesome show all 4 times, and for noticing me when they did! Keep the pride alive forever guys! Let's give back to BSB, even if it's not as much as they have given us! :) KTBPA FOREVER! ~Jesi Ramirez~ Submitted by Laura from Chicago IL USA Date: Wed Mar 29 11:01:50 2000 My favorite thing about the Into the MIllenium tour is that the boys have really grown up and are maturing artist-wise. They have a lot of uptempos that we all really love like Larger Than Life, That's The Way I Like It(which I was so excited that they sang!), Get Down, etc. But I think what is separating them from other pop artists today is their ballads. They are really beautiful songs that you can just sing along with anytime. My most favortie part of the tour was "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely," the first time I saw them sing it in Chicago was heartbreaking, This song has special meaning to me because I lost my father to colon cancer in 1994, but anyways at the first concert when Howie sang his solo section in the song tears began to run down my face. These guys are such powerful preformers, the emotions emitted were surreal. They really touched my life, and am grateful for it. Oh and another favorite moment is when AJ took off his shirt in Madison, Wisconsin!! Hahahaha Submitted by JESSICA A. from SANTA ANA CA USA Date: Tue Mar 28 21:07:42 2000 I JUST WENT TO THE JOHNNY NO NAME CONCERT IN L.A. LET ME YOU GUYS IT ROCK EVERYTHING ABOUT WAS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM BSB AND I WAS VERY IMPRESSED. IT WAS COOL WHEN HOWIE DROP BY, BY SURPRISE AND WERE SINGING SOME SONGS TOGETHER. OH YEAH I MET A.J.'s AND HOWIE'S GF's AND A.J.'s MOM AND THEY WERE SO COOL WITH ME I TOOK A PICTURE WITH THEM. Submitted by fricklover from DB US Date: Tue Mar 28 19:42:59 2000 i know this has nothing to do with the millennium tour, but i just have to talk about how great the johnny no name concert was on the 27th. It was so good. And did AJ look hot as hell. i think he should keep his hair like that forver. it looks so perfect. anyways, the crowd was so crazy and almost everyone was wearing leopard pants, it was so funny. and then poor howie was almost killed when his car was about to tip over because the fans tried to get to him. I swear, those fans are so crazy. but i admit i would have done the same if about 50 fans werent in front of me. he was ok in the end. and what a good sport for not being mad. hes so sweet. he got out of the car when all of the fans were behind the barricades and waved at us. best moment. his girlfriend is a really beautiful person inside and out. she was so nice. Oh yah, and i also saw kevins brother. what a hot guy. he is so good looking. but very soft spoken. of course AJ looked so good, him and his freaky self. He sure knew how to work his hips. anywasy, everything was great except for alot of scary fans. they were so hyper and they wouldn't stop chanting AJ's name. and all of them were screaming wierd things. anywasy,ill be seeing you. KTBSPA Submitted by Jenny from Somewhere in the U.S.A Date: Tue Mar 28 18:10:19 2000 Oh my gosh!! I went to the Backstreet Boys' "Into the Millenium Tour" concert in Lexington, Kentucky, and it was sooo awesome. It was actually my first concert so it was very special to me. The first exciting thing the happened to me was that I meet all the dancers. They were really nice. Unfortunately though, I didn't get their autographs, because time was getting limited and I still had to get ready and eat. Then once we were outside the arena, a lady came up to us, my sister and her friend, and asked us if we wanted to pass some coupons out while the girls were coming in. Of course we took this opportunity. After we passed them out, they gave us pictures of the boys from concerts earlier in the tour. They were such great pics! When we finally got inside, we just nearly got to see Mandy Moore perform "Candy". It was great though. Next, we saw EYC. They were cool, except they couldn't keep their shirts on. Finally, the Backstreet Boys came out. Their performance was great!!! I loved it sooo much!! When the concert was over, we decided to get a last glimpse of the boys, so we went outside to wait for them to leave. We waited about a half an hour, then we left, cause it was getting no where. We went back inside to the Civic Center, and there we saw Damon from EYC. We didn't know it at first, because earlier we mistakened a dancer for him, so we weren't excited. Then these girls screamed out, "It's EYC, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" We figured it out. We got his autograph. He was really nice. He also told us that everyone was staying overnight and wouldn't live yet. That was our chance to search for them some more, we didn't give up, we were determined to find and meet them. We then went to the front desk at the hotel. We wanted to ask what floor the suites were. My sister wouldn't do it or her friend, so I decided to go up there. There was a pizza man in front of me, and he said this room number, that I can't remember anymore, but he said it then "Opps!" So I just went up to the lady and she said she didn't know the suite floor. I'm like "LIAR!! How can you work here and not know it." It's just they don't wanna give it out. I then told my sister about the pizza man. We then knew that was the Backstreet Boys' room. We got in the elevator and knew what we were going to do. But then another problem faced us, there was a security guard in the elevator, we pushed the floor and he asked us if we had a key. Knowing that he would do something, we decided not to go there anymore, yet. Afterwards, we used the stairs, but there were people there too. We almost gave up, but then we heard girls talking about Howie being in the restuarant downstairs, therefore we were ready to go there. We did, and there was a crowd. They wouldn't let us in either. They let these girls that were flirting with the security guards in though. We got mad. We looked inside though, and there, I saw AJ!! I'm like "OH MY GOSH!!!" Then we had to go. That sucked. We never got to meet them either. Oh, well. Maybe some other day.

I HAD 25 ROW LOWER LEVEL SO I SAW THE SHOW PRETTY GOOD. AT THE END OF THE SHOW WHEN THEY WERE LEAVING TO GO BACKSTAGE, THEY WENT UP THE AISLE WHERE WE WERE AT I WAS LEANING OVER THE BALCONY SO I WAS ABOUT TWO FOOT AWAY FROM THEM. AS A.J. WENT BY I SCREAMED OUT HIS NAME AND HE LOOKED AT ME I THREW A BEANIE BABY DOG AT HIM THAT I HAD MADE. IT HAD ON EARRINGS AND A NECKLACE TO LOOK LIKE A.J. WELL INSTEAD OF HIM CATCHING IT, IT HIT HIM IN THE HEAD AND HE KICKED IT ACROSS THE FLOOR. HOWIE WAS BEHIND HIM AND HE JUST LAUGHED. SO JUST KNOWING ONE OF THEM HAS IT MAKES ME HAPPY. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS MEANT FOR A.J. all in all the whole show was wonderful. Submitted by Christina from Akron OH USA Date: Tue Mar 28 16:26:55 2000 Hey guys! I went to the Cleveland show at Gund Arena with my best friend. It was so awesome.. We actually got moved up when we got there because someone else was in our seats. It was great. I liked then they came out flying. I was like OMG they are like right there! AAAAAAHHHHH! I loved it! Email me if you want to talk or IM me when I'm on! Submitted by anonymous from * usa Date: Tue Mar 28 15:54:01 2000 at the boston concert nick had his fly down~i thought that was th best part Submitted by Melissa from Portage OH USA Date: Tue Mar 28 13:38:35 2000 My friend Julia and I saw the Cleveland Concert on 3-9-00. I was so lucky my sweetheart of a boyfriend somehow got tickets for me for our one-year anniversary. Yet, he couldn't go, because he went to Orlando for a field trip that week, so I asked my best friend Julia to go and we went. We were so happy. We didn't have great seats, but we still saw them. The Jungle boys were okay, I guess, as an opening act. But that Willa chick kinda sucked. I mean she kept screaming "Do you wanna see the Backstreet boys?" And when everyone screamed back, she just went on acting as if it was for her. Now when the boys finally came on the stage it was like someone turned on the adrenaline. I could see Kevin (who's my favorite) shaking it on the stage and later on AJ ripped off his shirt. When Howie did his rap as "Mc Freaky D." we rolling around laughing so hard. During Back to your Heart I ended up crying and we thought we looked like the biggest idiots, cause we were dancing in our seats since we were all scared to stand up we were up so high. Then at the end when they came out in Cleveland Indians shirts we were so thrilled. Not only did they perform well, but the interaction with the audience was what kept us all screaming. These guys know their audience and that's why we keep the Backstreet Pride alive! First Page - Previous - Next - Last - Add Entry - Other Topics - Message Boards - Exit Page 20 of 50
