I went to both shows in L.A. but for some reason the 2nd one was better. Krystal opened then bsb came on at 8:50. I was going to die! They all looked so good esp. my Nicky. My favorite songs were Not For Me, Get Another Boyfriend, The Call and Everyone but i loved everything! I was lucky enough to be pretty close to both stages. Brian waved to me! They were taping it for a CBS special in May so no one was allowed to tape it. They checked bags and i got caught with my video camera the first day. But the second day i got it in but i only got the first 15 min. of the show because i got caught! But at least I got that. Well if anyone else went an wants to share stories then email me at BSB4ever01@yahoo.com. And if anyone has good pics from either show to share then email me. I still haven't developed my 7 rolls of film because i'm broke! I spent $95 at the concerts! KTBSPA!

Wow! all I have to say is "Wow!" I just went to one of the best concerts in the world, y'all know what I'm talking about I went to thee concert, Black & Blue Baby and WHAT an experience!
First of all, I would just like to say that good things can happen to people with bad seats! I myself had horrible seats that were practically on the roof but I was lucky enough to run into a promoter. This was a guy that just in the hallway giving out better tickets to people with bad tickets, and let me tell ya, my tickets were just about as bad as they come! Thank goodness for this guy, I went from ceiling seats to floor seats all thanks to nice people like him! All I had to do was give him my bad tickets and he upgraded them to the floor! Thank you promoters!!!
Anywayz, onto the concert, it was so amazing, it started off when the screen showed a picture of earth and then something started bombing it and everytime a bomb hit earth, these beautiful red fireworks went off, and when earth was all finished getting bombed the boys popped up from under the stage. Talk about making an entrance!!!
They started out by singing "Everyone" (and by the way I just *KNEW* that would be the song they started off the show with) and everyone got really pumped up. Then they moved onto "Larger Than Life" and by that time my throat and feet were really hurting from all the singing and dancing I was doing. Can you guys imagine, if we get tired, imagine how they must feel!? After they paid tribute to their fans, they started shaking their bootays to "Shining Star" and the backround pictures for that song were really pretty. I remembered I felt like I was at an observatory or soemthing. Then I think after that song they went on to sing "Not For Me" but I can't remember that song very well or when they sang it because AJ's pelvic thrusts and Nick's bootay shakin had me in a daze!
After I think they first three songs, Kevin came out dressed in all white and the boys sang "If you Stay" (I can't believe I didn't like that song when I first heard it!) and then They sang a few more ballads like "I Promise You", "All I Have To Give", and then they did my two favorites, "Yes I Will" and "More Than That". Keep in mind that all this time they had like different backrounds to the songs and the backround pictures for "More Than That" were like the pictures of a sky after a storm and sunshine and the ocean and everything. It really was beautiful. After the beautiful ocean backround a picture of a fire came on and I just knew they were gonna sing "I Want It That Way" and I looked around and it was so cool to see that EVERYONE- even the guys in the audience knew the words to that song and were singing along to it! Talk about the BSB bringing people together! :)
Then, they left the stage and got on this tiny little stage that was about 5 rows ahead of me ( i got thee BEST pictures!) There, I don't even remember how perfectly they sang "I'll Never Break Your Heart" or "How Did I Fall In Love With You?" All I know is that the Backstreet Boys were less than 50 feet away from me :)
After they beautifully sang "How Did I Fall In Love With You?" a bridge was lowered from where the little mini-stage was to where the main stage was and as they walked across it they sang "Time" and touched hands with all the fans. AJ especially wanted to get really close to the fans, he was practically hanging off of it by his feet! After they sang "Time" they sang "What Makes You Different" on the main stage. It was so beautiful.
Well after all the purdyful ballads they decided to pick things up a notch and sing "Get Another Boyfriend" and lemme tell ya, that song got EVERYONE PUMPED! Especially when AJ does that lovely little yell, I mean I nearly fainted, his voice sounded so delicious :P After that song they introduced the band and I noticed there was no more Guido =( Oh well, the new band seems really good and one of the dancers (Reggie Jackson) can really get down! Nick had the whole crowd screamin "Go Reggie!, Go Reggie!" LoL!
Right after they introduced the band they sang an old classic entitled "Everybody", anyone heard of it before? LoL! It made me think about how far they've come from their first album and how much they still rock!
Of coarse they made the finale good. They ended by singing their two most famous songs right now, "The Call" and "Shape Of My Heart". It was so funny because at the beginning a phone was ringing and AJ was running around all over the stage asking if he should pick it up and when he did he answered it by saying "Hey wassup gurl!" LoL. He's so cute. The last song they sang was "Shape Of My Heart" and it was so cool cuz all of the guys came out wearing Laker jerseys! It really showed that they were happy to be there and had true LA pride!
Well, my words are only vivid memories of one of the best concerts of my life. You really had to be there in order to truely get what I'm talking about. March 14th was one of the greatest days of my life and I'll never forget how much fun I had with everyone I went with. Keep The Backstreet Pride Alive and Be Cool, Be Real, and Behaaaaaaave, Baby!. :D Peace, C-yaz, I Luv you Buh-bai!
Los Angeles, CA Concert (March 15) Review

OMG! I went to the BSB concert last night, March 15, at the Staples Center. It was my first concert, and was SO much fun! And it was definitely my lucky day, because while we were eating some guy came up to us and asked if we wanted floor seats. We were like, heck yeah! We had section 207 row 11 which actually had a pretty good view, but then we were upgraded to section 10 row H on the floor. We were 6 rows from the small stage. I could see them REALLY well when they came out there. I got pretty good pics. Go to my website below to see them.
They were taping our concert for a special on CBS in May so look for it. Jojo Wright from 102.7 KIIS FM was there. Noah Bastian (Chad) and Alex Korwitz (Mickey) from 2gether were there together also! They practically caused a riot cuz they walked around the arena 2 times. I tried to get pics (If they turn out I'll put them on my site too). Krystal was awesome. She has an amazing voice. The boys' dance moves were great, and so were their dancers. I loved their pyro and videos it was so exciting. I was right in the center, so the lights and everything were practically blinding.
Nick (my fave) was so cute! Someone threw 2 teddy bears at him on the left ramp. He sat them next to each other on the edge, and they fell off. He shrugged and mouthed "Sorry" and then he put his hands up like he was crying. It was adorable! Well, that's all I got to say for now. I encourage anyone, and everyone to go to a concert sometime!

3/14/01 Staples Center Los Angeles Black and Blue Concert

OK...where to start...oh yes arriving. Well I went with my 3 friends and we took a limo so we didn't go early, but when we go to the Staples Center there were tons upon TONS of girls and surprisingly a lot of guys in line to enter the arena. My friends and I didn't want to wait in the huge line just to enter so we went walking around the arena and bought our "Programs" for $20 and they're worth it. They had shirts for like $30-$40 and hats for like $25-$30 and buttons, glow sticks, pictures, posters, etc for sale. We heard people screaming but it was just cuz they were letting people in. So we got in line and go in the arena and went to our seats. But b4 that we went to the bathroom and there were these 2 girls there kinda sluty (not to be critizing or nuthin but it was the thruth) and they were all dogging my friend but I just hate people like that at the concerts when they think their so much better than ou...sorry had to get that off my chest. So Anyways we get to our seats and we're seating behind the stage practically, but we're close up so we have some what good seats...at least we got nice booty shots. So Krystal comes out and performs her songs..and not every one was in the arena yet which sucks for her. But I gotta say she's kinda phsyco when she performs! She was kinda being a mix of Steven Tyler and some crazy piano guy. Her songs sounded the same and I couldn't hear what she was singing or saying cuz the acustics suck at the Staples center, and mixing w/ screams didn't help either.
So she leaves and then about 15-20 minutes later the lights go dark and the dancers come out and there were loud fire works right by us and everytime they'd go off a dancer on each side of the stage would pretend they got shot until all of the dancers were down. Then fireworks went off for each BSB and then they arose outta fire works and smoke and on these pole/mini stage things and they look fine as hell. Then the stages lowered and they walked off kinda like robots and did some cool, awesome, rad dance type thing and then they broke out into "Everyone". It was very good. Then they sang "LTL" and I think "Shinning Star" after that and they were very energetic and dancing all over the place. Nick was especilly hyper which was cool. Then they did a costume change and came out in white outfits singing "More than that" and they did a cane dance and "SMTMOBL" and then they did another costume change and came out and did some fast songs and it was all really good and I cant remember too much since I was screaming like crazy and have the sore throat to prove it. then they did other costume changes liek when they got into the box and messed around in the dressing room and came out on the little stage and then they sang slow songs like one of my favs "How Did I fall in Love with You" and that song made everyone kinda sad I think cuz it was some what quiet in the arena which I thought not possible. My friend was even crying. Then they had that bridge thing come down and they walked across it singing...I forgot what song but A.J was acting crazy so he was hanging into the audience from it and then Nick ran by my side and was shaking his butt and they got back onto the main stage and did a cowboy hat dance which was so cute and cool.
And when they did "Get another boyfriend" when A.J does his lil solo "Heyyyaah" orya know what I mean the whoel arena sang along with hima nd it sounded VERY cool. They also did this hip swivle thing that almost made me pass out and everyone agreed that it was SOOOo Sexy! Then Nick pretended to fall on the ground but he flipped back up and looked sooo hot and all the guys were being crazy and it was just super cool, and when they came out to sing "SOMH" they were wearing Lakers jerseys since the lakers play at the staples center. Nick and Brian were wearing #8 Kobe Bryant jerseys (my fav) and Howie, Kevin, and AJ were wearing #34 Shaq O Niel Jerseys. If you want pics email me and I'll send you some if they look ok. Well that was my ghetto fabulous time at the BSB concert! I wish I was going to the one tonight but I can't which sucks but I'm definitly going to the summer shows! This concert was VERY good and I recomend it to everyone. Also why do people say BSB are old or fadding out? By the looks of the 16,000+ screaming people (for them) at the arena...I dont think they'll be fadding out anytime soon.
