What an interesting concert THAT was! Well, anyway, me and my friend, Rachael, were going together and we had sec. 200, row M, which was ALLLLLLLLLL the way on the end so we couldnt see half the stage, but we grinned and beared it. I had managed to sneak in my camera (my super old Chinon zoom lense camera - you know the ones with the really good detachable lenses?) and I don't know how I managed to do it cuz it was so huge but I did it, and I took some pretty good pics of Krystal despite we were so far back and to the side. Then after "Supergirl" she announced that she'd be signing autographs to our right. I'm thinking, "to our right? That's exactly where I"M SITTING!!" so me and Rach bolted for the door and ran to where she was signing autographs and we were 2nd in line. A few minutes later the line was out the door and there must have been a bajillion people lined up. Then Krystal came out and people cheered and had spazzes including Rachael and she sat down and began signing. Rach was speechless and hyperventilating when she recieved her 8 by 10 signed pic, and when it was my turn I went up to the table and I say, "Hey what's up? Doesn't your hand hurt after signing all these autographs?" And she looks up and smiles and just sez "No, not really." Then I thank her for the autograph and join Rachael and my other friend Laura and they're staring at me as if I'm made of gold. "OMG, you SAID something to her!" exclaimed Rachael. And I say, "Yeah, so what? She is really really nice. You should have asked her a question." But of course she was having a spaz. Then we went back inside and watched the Shaggy show, which was awesome, and I got some really good pics. When that was done our other friend Rose came up to us and we say, "Where are YOU sitting?" She just shrugs and ses, "2nd row from the pit" and we die. She was so close!! It wasnt fair!!! Then the show started and I stood up on my chair and got some really great pictures then halfway thru the show the ppl behind us make me sit down and I want to kill them. If they wanted to see why didnt THEY stand up? Everyone else was!! So, me being so short, I barely got to see anything. I think my fave part of the show was when they showed the 2050 segment when they're all old!! That was so funny! And Nick got up and shook his old wrinkly butt - that was hilarious. I definitely got pics of that LOL!! Then the show ended :( and we made our way out. My mom was there to pick us up and I see her having a spaz and I'm like, "What??!!" and shes like "I saw Brian and Kevin in their tour bus and they waved to me!!" And I almost died. That was NOT fair!!! And she kept making us jealous all the way home!! :( But maybe I'll have better luck next time! I have 48 pics of the concert and I'm getting them developed ASAP, then I'll scan the good ones and put up on here at Backstreet.Net for you all to see!!! Have fun at your concerts!!!! KTBSBPA

Well I am recovering from the concert last night. I can hardly talk and my hearing is still impaired,but it was all worth it. The concert was truly amazing.
Krystal sang the National Anthem and it was so beautiful that I almost cried. Then Shaggy came out and he got the crowd really pumped for the show.
Finally BSB were on. I swear every tour they get better and better. We had awesome seats, front and center. It was like looking the boys right in the eyes! They sounded absolutely amazing and they've really become better dancers. It was a blast and their skits were really funny. The boys looked great and did an amazing job. That was the best BSB concert I've been to yet!!

On July 3, 2001, the Tweeter Center in Camden, NJ, was filled with people of all ages to see AJ Mclean, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough, Kevin Richardson, and Nick Carter, also known as THE BACKSTREET BOYS!! The show started right at 7:30pm with opening act Krystal who sang some her songs such as "Supergirl" and "My Religion". She also sang "The National Anthem" for the 4th of July. After her set, she went out to sign autograghs, and I was lucky enough to meet her and get her autogragh. Then Shaggy came on and really got the party started. He sang songs such as "Mr. Boombastic", "Angel", and "It Wasn't Me", plus a few others. Then the lights went back on while we waited for the boys. When the lights went back off again, the screaming started. Before the Backstreet Boys came out there were some big bursts of fire on stage which were really loud. Then the holes in the floor started rising and out came the Backstreet Boys dressed in their long black leather jackets. They started out with their fan anthems, "Everyone" and "Larger than Life". They all introduced themselves on stage and said hello which got the crowd screaming. Kevin also talked about all of the foundations that each of them were involved in. During costume changes, they kept the crowd occupied with little skits that were pre-recorded, and were put up on the big screen. My favorite was when they were dressed up like old men, (it was supposed to be the year 2050). Brian was in a wheelchair and had no hair, Howie had grey hair, and had had hip replacements, Nick had a big fat belly and hair and a beard that were grey. AJ had grey hair as well as Kevin. Whenever they laughed, their voices sounded like they had been smokers for years. It was really funny. Then they asked us if we wanted to come into the dressing room with them. Of course everyone screamed yes!!! Them in the dressing room was put up on the big screen, but was pre-recorded. When they came back out again, they sang beautiful ballads such as "I promise you (with Everything I am), "More than That", "Time" (they all sat down on stage for that song), "Yes I will", "How did I Fall in Love With You" (I loved that one because Howie hit that high note), "What makes you Different (Makes you Beautiful), "I'll Never Break your Heart", and "Show me the Meaning of Being Lonely", and the one and only "I Want it that Way". The dancing was excellent to the songs "Don't Want you back", "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)", "Larger than Life", "Everyone", "Get Another Boyfriend", "Shining Star", and "Not for Me". They also did a little medley of the songs "Quit Playin' Games" and "As Long as You Love Me". They sang part of the the song "All I Have to Give". Then AJ came out and told the crowd that they only had time for one more song which was "The Call". So they sang that and I guess you can say that they kind of teased the crowd because after "The Call", They came out and sang "Shape of my Heart". After that they said goodbye and the show was over. I absolutley loved it and can't wait until they tour again! KTBSPA!!!!!!

I went to the Camden show last night, and it was so incredible. Krystal was amazing, but I missed most of
Shaggy's performance because the line to meet Krystal was so long. She was so nice though.
BSB rocked the show(as always). They were awesome! They really got into the show, which made it that much better!
They wished everybody a happy 4th and stuff. My only complaint was that everything was so expensive. I think part of that
was the venue though. I think they made things extra expensive. I did get my camera in, so I can't wait to get my pictures back
I'm so excited. "Baldness is sexy!" Anyway, BSB rock!! Go see the show if you can because it rules!

I just went to the Backstreet Boys concert tonight (7/3/01) in Camden, New Jersey. Wow what a show that was. So many lights, fire, costumes. It was really nice. They are great singers and great dancers. We were in the 13th row and on the last song everybody ran up and i got to the first row. I had so much fun. I cant wait until they come back. I'll go to their next one.

Okay, OMG! Just got home from the show. Let me start off by saying that Krystal has made me proud to be an American. Her rendition of the national anthem was simply incredible. My friends and I kinda missed most of Shaggy cuz we wanted to go get Krystal's autograph. WOW! That line was huge. It took us most of Shaggy's set, but it was worth it. Krystal is SO sweet and beautiful, and obviously patient. I never would be able to sit there and sign that many autographs.
Now, onto BSB. They were simply incredible. I don't know how they do it practically every night. I won't go into what they wore, or sang, or the little things on the video, because everything's already been said. So Brian said he wanted the Sixers to win. Somehow, I think he was lying. AJ's little cartwheel during the "AJ and Kevin Show" was SO cute! "Baldness is sexy." I'm pretty sure that's what he said, I could be wrong though, but I doubt it. That was adorable. Tip for people that are going to a concert: Bring pom-poms. AJ likes them. Okay, I think that about wraps it up. Everyone that already went to a show, hope you enjoyed it. Everyone that's going: HAVE FUN!!!!!!
