The whole Concert Nick Was So into!!!! Like when they had the white suits on he started throwing his jacket on the ground when he was on the ramp on the left! he looked so Good!

If u are going to a B&B Concert u will have an amazing time no matter where u are sitting! it was the best BSB concert yet!....... Now On w/ my Backstreet Encouters
i think thursday night was the BEST night of my Life Even before the Concert even started!!!!!!! Because i met Nick like kindda ill explain.....cuz we got to see the whole sound check from the field (Floor) (because i know alot of people that work for the silverdome so they hooked me up! it's a long story!!) But the way i got to see it was we were in the ladies office that my mom knows and were talking to her & so we are just kindda talking & she was trying to get me backstage to meet them & this guy comes in & shes like oh this is the psyco BSB fan i was telling u about (meaning me! lol) and hes like ohhhh well you know there doing sound check right now & since there are not backstage passes left ill take u down w/me cuz im going down on the field to make sure all the consessions are getting set up and hes like ill get u guys passes if u want so u can watch sound check! but i had to put my moms black leather jacket on cuz i would look to much like a fan if i dident! so we are like going through all these doors & stuff and were going down an elevator and this lady had like 30 bags of ice w/ her & the guy i was with started talking to her & hes like do u need any help w/ those? and shes like yeah accuatly i do if u guys wouldnt mind and hes like well where do we have to take them? and shes like the Dressing rooms!!!!!!!!! and i was like freaking out inside cuz i was suppose to like not freak out if i saw them so i was like ok ok...... so we go back and we get these temp backstage passes u could call them and we walk by all the signs that say where to go it was so cool! (it was just like on the BK video!) so we go to drop off the ice and im standing right there in front of their dressing room i could not believe it BUT they were not in their dressing room! but that was good cuz if they were i could have not been able to go in there! i could not believe it! i was standing in their dressing room there stuff was EVERYWHERE! there were like tons of people in there setting up crap so we just put the ice in buckets & left but i could not believe it i was standing in there dressing room! ahhhhh!!! so we leave from there to go on the field & we get down there & we were standing there by all the consessions and were like watching the people do sound check and were like thinking BSB is going to come out but they never did so were like ok but then the guy that got me to see the sound check said there up in a suite listening & there was only 1 suite that had people in it so were like oh that must be them! but lemme tell ya sound check is so weird like all these crew guys come out & they kept saying drop dropping dropping it's so funny! but anyways we got to watch the intermission video cuz they were playing that making sure it worked or something but i was people watching cuz i was talking to one of the security guards & they said that alot of times they come & walk around on the floor so i might see them just don't go crazy! so i was getting board cuz we had been there for about 2 hours and all the sudden i see this guy in all white walk out of these doors like 20 feet from where i was standing & my mom says to me that looks like Nick and i was like noo way! and i walk closer and it was HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! inside i was freaking but i just acted cool! but he was holding some girls hand it was not mandah & it looked like that blonde chick in those pics at his b-day partie but this girl was short & had really long blonde hair! and i was like uhhh i thought he was single but i guess not cuz he sure as hell did not act single then!!!!! but i don't care about if he is or not ill be happy for him! but anyways Nick & his "Girl" were standing by the ambulance talking to some of the guards & parametics so i was like im gonna walk by and just say hi so i go over to the ambulece & ask for a band aid lol i walk past when Nick & his "Girl" (i could smell nick i was so close!) and they were just sitting there so i just said "Hey Nick" and waved & Smiled and he goes "Hey whats up?" and kindda did that little wave thing he does! and the girl he was with just smiled like Hi so she seems nice! and then i said to him that i saw him & the rest of the boys in chicago on moday and i thought they totally rocked! and he goes im glad u liked the show and then i saod well good luck tonight & he said thanks and smiled and then said well hope u enjoy the show tonight and i go im sure i will and then i said bye & he said see ya later!! in my head i was thinking yeah i wish i would see ya later after the concert! lol BUT i could not believe that i was only about 3 or 5 feet away from Nick! i wanted to faint & die like on the spot i was like OMG OMG OMG i just talked to Nick & he talked to me! even though it was only 1 sentence! still that is as close as ive ever been to a BSB! that made my like year! lol i was in shock that i acted so cool and did not freak or anything! so thats how i guess u could say i "met" Nick! ahhhhhhhh!!!!!! we also saw Howie but he was like 40 feet away from us!!! Thursday was the best day of my life! i sooo wanted to ask Nick for a Picture & Autograph but i did not have a camera on me! and the guy that got me on the field to see Sound check told me to not really ask for autographs cuz there was not suppose to be any "fans" down there! and the security might get mad if they found out i was down there & did not really have to be! so i think getting a "Hey whats up?" & a little convo from Nick will do! but then the same guy that got me to watch sound check & meet nick told me that when they go to the other lil stage in the middle they are going to be wearing security jackets and they will walk right through the audience & hes like go there during intermission so before the video thing started we get out of our seats and head for the lil stage and we did not see anyone at first and im standing there near section C3 i think it was and i see 5 guys walking in security jackets & im like thats them so i just stand there ad they had there heads down & hoods up and the only one i could say anything to was Aj and i go hey Aj and he looked real quick and waved i was 3 feet away from him OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i had so many backstreet encounters that night! i was so close to all of them and nobody knew that was them! so after they started walking down the runway singing i went back to my seat and then nick was like right there on the runway so i stood up on my chair for him to see my sighn and he was squiting to see it and then i think he finally read it and then he pointed ad gave a sexy 1/2 smile i started freaking!!! and me and the girl next to me had green glow sticks and Howie Aj & Kevin were on the ramp so we sttod on our chairs and were waving to them like crazy ad they waved to us! we started freaking! and then eairlier on when they were in the white suits Brian & Nick came on the ramp and we stood up on our chairs & nick was too into the song to wave or point but Brian Pointed & Smiled cuz we started jumping up & down on our chairs after he pointed to us! lol it was the BEST BEST BEST night of my life so far! i never wated that night to end!!!!!!!!

Let me say that this was the best concert ever!! I had floor seats Section B2 row 6. I've seen Backstreet, twice before this, and this was my favourite!
The opening Acts were Krystal and Destiny's Child. They were both awesome :)
Then BSB came out at exactly 9:07...
The opening with the comets hitting they earth was soooo cool! The pyro was really cool and loud!!
They opened with Everyone and then did Larger Than Life and Shining Star (they were somewhat sexual during this song..it was GREAT!!)
During What Makes You Differnet(Makes You Beautiful,me, my sister and 2 friends RAN up to the front! The one security guard let us go,(I was already crying, but when he let us go..i was balling!)
but the other threatened to kick us out if we didn't go back...so we did. Then they sang Yes I Will with the canes..it was so cute :) Then they did More Than That...next was I WANT IT THAT WAY!
Everyone knew the words and was singing along! Next was Not For Me and Show Me the Maning.
After this they showed a pre-taped the video of them in the dressing rooms :) It was so cute and funny! See, I knew that right after the
video they would be going on the smaller stage at the back of the floor...i had a plan. During the video, me, my sister and 2 friends walked slowly to the smaller stage...we got there but didn't make
it look obvious...then when the stage started to rise, everyone ran up to it... and I made my way all the way TO THE FRONT!!!! there was no one in front of me except for BSB!!!!!!!!!! It was sooooo amazing!!
They sang I'll never break your Heart, I Promise You, How Did I Fall in Love With You and then Time. I couldn't believe how close I was!! It was soooooo crazy and the screaming was so loud I didn't even know
they started to sing! While Nick (he's my fav) was sitting at the edge of the stage RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, he was looking me straight in the eye singing:"I promise you from the bottom of my heart, i will love you
'till death do us part...!!! OH MY GOODNESS!! I couldn't believe it!! Nick was always looking is right in the eye...I love that boy!!
I once caught A.J lookin at me!! i was watching Nick, then I looked over at A.J, and yes, he was watching me!!!!! Aaaahhh!!! Then at another point i was screaming at A.J and he waved and smiled at me...then i went crazy..
and he kinda laughed!! It was soo cute! Brian is just sooo adorable! he has the cutest wave :) Howie waved at my friend Jenn and now her life is fulfilled :)
i noticed that Kevin really watches his fans, he looks so thankful :) Howie is the only BSB that has never waved at me :(...theres always next time :)
My friend Jenn and I had this idea to make a fan scrapbook for BSB, so we did, but Jenn spent soooo much time on it, so she made it...and we helped :) she gave it to me to throw on the stage...so i did..IT HIT NICK AT THE BACK OF THE LEG,
LANDED, SLID THROUGH HIS LEGS AND OFF THE STAGE. I was soooo upset!! but it was put with all the other gifts thrown on stage:) WOW! I hit Nick Carter....
When that part was all over,it was back to our seats...when i got there, i cryed because i couldn't believe how close I was to BSB..it was amazing! They sang Answer to Our Life, AllI have to give/If you Stay... Everybody, Get Another Boyfriend,
The Call and Shape of My Heart. i'm sure you all know about the performances by now!! The concert was sooooooo good!! I can't wait 'till they come back to Michigan! When we got to the van, i called my mom to tell her that it was done...and that
BSB were right in front of me!! I started to cry and she was laughing at me... When we were just getting out of the parking lot, we heard i siren, we thoughtit was an ambulance... but it wasn't. IT WAS THE BACKSTREET BOYS TOUR BUSES!!!!!
There was a police car, 2 tour buses and another police car!! We were banging on the windows....we were crazy!! Oh wow....I love Backstreet, they are so wonderful! I have to say that Nickolas Gene Carter is even more beautiful in person, close up!
His eyes would sparkle in the light...awwww......so great!!

Wow, how can i possobly sum up this concert for you in actual words? it was beyond amazing let me tell you that. They surely out did themselves which shows they truly care about the fans and our reaction to the entire concert. What i thought was really great of them was how they wanted everyoje to be able to see them up close which is why they had two stages. one in front which was the main one and one in the back for everyone else. Thats whhy they had the boardwalk in there. When they came down the board walk i got to shake kevins hand!!! i was right next to it and in second row. Nick and bri also pointed to me and smiled during a couple of songs and i got alot of pictures. I also got crushed while i was sown there lol. so did my friend. It was when they came up the catwalk that all the girls ffrom all over just rushed up to it, stepping all over the chairs and falling on us. it was kinda crazy lol. But i had so much fun i really didnt even care. Except when they went back to their seats my programmer i had bought was gone:( And they had meeors hitting the stage in the beginning(well not real eteors but ya know) But wow it was AMAZING!!!!! Im going to go back in the fall when they come here again. And this time im waiting till after the concert to buy my stuff lol. oh btw if anyone wants me to scan some pictures for them you can email me. my addy is hevenlyblu@hotmail.com see yalz later

I have never attended a Backstreet Boys concert before, so February 15th was the GREATEST night of my life!
I left to go to the Pontiac Silverdome around 5:30pm. I thought I would get there early, but unfortuantly I reached the Silverdome an hour after the concert started. The traffic was awful!
When I finally reached the Silverdome, I started running to the entrance. I was about to cry cause I thought that BSB already came out, fortunatly, it wasn't them.
I make it into the dome just in time to see Destiny's Child. I was so glad cause I really like them. I was upset that I missed Krystal because I was looking forward to seeing her. After Destiny's Child, they played some music for about ten minutes. During that time people were doing the wave and chanting 'Backstreet Boys' while they were waiting.
Then it was time for the five hottest men to come out! When the lights dimmed, I started freaking out because I knew in less than seconds I would see BSB! All I could hear were my 'OMG's' and the fans' screaming.
On this huge screen in the middle of the stage, they showed earth being distructed by meteors. Evertime a meteor hit earth, pyrotechics blasted! Then, BSB rose! I have never screamed so much! They hit it off with "Everyone" (which was awesome).
In the middle of the show, they took you down into their dressing room. It was so cute! They were fooling around, and just being regular people. After they showed that, a small round stage started rising. I ran down to the stage so fast because I knew that BSB were going to go on it. I was in shock because I couldn't believe that less than 3 feet away from me were The Backstreet Boys! I started crying because I was exteremly happy! I couldn't believe that I was there. I was watching the guys that helped me through life. The guys that give me something to live for everyday.
BSB are phenomenal! Everything was perfect and indescribable! I had the time of my life, and I will definitely go again when BSB come back to Michigan!
Thank you BSB for a wonderful night!

Ok, it's two days after the concert in Michigan and it's still a blur in my head. Me, my best friend Sommer and her dad drove 11 hours just to see BSB. We live in Wisconsin, and they obviously didn't come here, but it was all good. We decided to go to MI because if we had bought the tickets for MN or Il we would've had to wait 15 minutes after they started selling them because they were out of state, but for some reason MI didn't have that, so we bought 3 tickets not even having permission from our parents, we just figured that they would have to let us go if we bought the tickets already.
Ok, on to the best part. The concert gates were supposed to open at 5:30 pm, but since the voice check thing I guess wasn't working, we were delayed 30 minutes, and we were already standing out there for 2 hours. My friend was dumb and wore sandals, but anyways, we got to our seats and we waited for about an hour and a half, then Krystal came out, I didn't really like her that much but she had a great voice and I envy her for being on tour with the hottest, most talented, beautiful sweet men in the world. Then about 15 minutes later Destiny's Child came out and I swear they were almost as big as BSB!!! They really stirred up the crowd when they sung, Independant Women and Bills, Bills, Bills. Ok we waited about 30 more minutes and we were talking to the three girls behind us, they were really awesome, one was obsessed with AJ, I mean everytime he came on the big screen she would screen his name, but it was all good cause I practically did the same thing with Nick. OK when they came out every person in the stadium was screaming. I don't think anyone who was screaming had a voice the next day. My fave song they did was Shining Star, cause there was a lot of thrusting in it. The dressing room was really funny, I liked that touch, and they were stripping!!! woohoo!! Although Nick never takes off his shirt because he says he fat. well I don't think he's fat at all! I love that pugde that he has, and he's mostly muscle anyways, I don't know what his problem is. After that they had this little round stage over at our end of the stadium and when they came out I charged down and I was right there in front of them!! They sung three songs, and when they sung How did I fall in love with you, I started crying because it reminds me of me and my other best friend Erick. Nick was soo hott!! OMG!! He kept on getting on his knees and rubbing his hands through his hair like really emotional and it made every girl in the stadium want him soo much more. I felt really old though. I'll be 17 this year and my friend is already 18, and all these 13 year old girls with tank tops on rolled the bottom of their tank tops into their bras and they didn't have anything there anyways, that just annoyed me and they were so immature, me and my friend clonked two of them in the heads with roasted almonds they were selling. It was pretty funny cause they had no clue where it came from. But after the concert I think was the most memorible for me. We had rented some binoculars and we just left the building and forgetting we had them, but all of a sudden we were standing by the aisle in the parking lot and we heard sirens, we were like uh oh some one got in an accident or some one is hurt. But we stopped on the side just watching the cops make their way through, but then a black van stopped right in front of us and my jaw dropped to the floor, my friend Sommer didn't even realize it, until I started hitting her arm and screaming, "Sommer, Sommer, thats them!" Her jaw then dropped to the floor as well. we were speechless. I saw Nick and Aj, they waved to us and smiled and Aj did something weird but I couldn't tell what he did. You know how he is. Well who ever is going to the concert is in for the night of a lifetime! You may not remember until like a week after, but still it's the best concert they had, I thought the last tour was great. But this one topped it off. It was the cherry on top of the sundae!! It all still feels like a dream, but it wasn't. well hope everyone who is going has a great time!!! BSB forever!!!!!

The concert at the silverdome was so incredibly awesome. Krystal has such an amazing voice that I have to buy her CD.
Destiny's Child also opened and sang every song they've came out with. They were great and their outfits were barely there but still really cute.
Now for the bsb's actual performance! My friends and I were 27 rows away from the stage and when we got up there and saw our seats we couldn't believe how close we were. They came out on pillars with smoke all around them and as soon as it cleared the sound was off the charts. The opening numbers got the crowd so pumped up. I was freaking out because they were life size and dancing like right in front of us it seems. Then they sang a few slow songs including More than that which is one of my favorite songs on the album.During Not for me they had flames shooting up on the stage and the dancing was amazing.I loved all there costumes and they fit in well with all there songs. The closest I got to all of them is when they walked by during Time. They were about 15 feet from me while they walked so that was really exciting. At the very end of the concert during SOMH Nick came back out on the walkway and fell to his knees and sang the "I'm here with my confessions..."!
It was so cool of him to come back out into the audience. And then he flung his water everywhere and two of my friends got some on them.
Overall it was the best concert I've ever been to. The BSB really out did themselves and put on a high energy excellent show.I feel so lucky that I was that close and if you get a chance to see them ...Go!

I am still in shock that I actually saw Bsb in person! Sorry I didn't write as soon as I got home, but I had to let the whole event set in! The concert was so amazing! I have never seen anything like it! The boys have out-done themselves once again! Okay, here's what I can tell ya:
The show started with Krystal as the first opening act. She was so amazing! She has a beautiful voice! She is really goin to be big. She is very pretty also. She did about three or four songs. She plays the piano very well also. The second opening act was Destinys Child! They really got the crowd goin! They did about four or five songs. They are awesome performers! They did a great job.
And then it was time for the boys!!!! The special effects were great! Before they came out a video of the earth being destroyed was being played. Then fire started shooting from the ceiling and hitting the stage. Then their they were!!!! They looked so amazing! The first song was "Everyone" followed by "Larger Than Life"! I can't remember the order of the songs, but here is a list from what songs I do remember: (I'm pretty sure these are all the songs, just maybe not in the right order) :
Everyone
Larger Than Life
Get Another Boyfriend
Shining Star
Yes I Will
Answer to our life
More Than That (I cried at this one!)
Not For Me
What Makes You Different.....
How Did I Fall In Love With You
All I Have To Give/If You Stay
Show Me The Meaning.....
Everybody
The Call
Shape Of My Heart
And thats all I can remember, I'm not sure if there is more. The dancing was amazing! Nick was dancin like no body's buisness! Lot's of little AJ type dances! It was so great! They all looked so hot! When they did the whole dressing room thing, they were so funny! Brian was telling Nick he got him something for his birthday. He pulled a sheet of something and it was a toilet! lol Nick was all embarassed. It was so cute! Nick ended up sitting on it though! lol Kevin was looking for his boot the whole time! It was so cute! He was looking every where! Howie did his hair most of the time, so cute! Then after the video stopped of them in the dressing room, they came out on this smaller stage! They were less than 20 feet from me! I was so pumped! I couldn't stop screaming! And Nick was on my side! They looked so good! Lot's of new dance moves and cool special effects! I didnt want it to end! When they did the "Call", AJ came out and was tellin us he was havin trouble with his belt :) and was just making small talk. Then a phone started ringing, and the song started. The encore was "Shape Of My Heart"! It was so beautiful! Probally the coolest dance moves to a song were either "Get Another Boyfriend", "Shining Star", or "Not For Me"! It was off the hook! These boys never cease to amaze me at all! I hope u all get a chance to catch this tour, you don't want to miss it! KTBSPA FOREVER!!!! GOD BLESS!!!!

My 3 friends and i just got back from what we thought to be the best concert yet. We drove 8 hours to see these sexy men...and it was well worth the trip!!! Krystal has a great voice..and Destiny's child raised the roof and sure got everyone pumped!! I have to say the Nick looked so HOTT, and he made me cry his voice sounded so sweet. I'd have to say it got a little loud in my right ear when Mr.Bone lifted his shirt to show a little skin. They all were great! We had run out to the tunnel in the back of the Silverdome to see all (5?) buses come out. In the first...nick had ran to the front (well it was either him or Bob)Im pretty sure it was Nick :-)Followed by the others...And the last bus...we had seen Howie getting his hair combed! Man, were we jumpin! Kepp doin gwhat your doing BSB! We love you!!!

This was the best night of my life. I didn't have great seats(section 112) at the very back of the arena. But since they had the big screen in the back it was awesome. You all know how it goes. So I won't repeat what other people have already posted. All I have to say is if you are going to a concert or have gone you will know or know how much they rule. Their harmonies and dancing was great. Even though I couldn't see very well it was all worth it. So if any of you have bad seats just scream and go nuts because the boys deserve it. They go out there almost every night and give it their all. I got home at 3:15 in the morning and had to go to school the next day. I ended up getting up at seven. Even though I was tired, I would do anything for them. KTBPA!

Krystal came on, and did a Really lame performance, she tried to act like pink, but it didint work out! Destinys child came on and sang all of my fav songs, Independent women, Say my name etc.. They were awesome! Bsb came on with a graphic of the world with asteroids hitting it and every time it hit, fire would explode on the stage! They sang mostly every song, and i was so happy to be there! its an awesome concert, u gotta go!

First of all, we were like one of the first ones in line so it was a LOOOOOOOOONG wait and IT WAS FREEEEEEEZING!!!!! I was with my mom and my friend Terry and we stood at the gate waiting to get in for what seemed like forty days in forty below zero weather!!!! We just stood there looking pitiful and giving the security guards puppy dog eyes from the other (locked) side of the gate - but they didnt care much about us I guess. Then finally one of the security guys came to our side and let this nice little girl in a wheel chair up to the front of the line because he said she should go first so she wouldnt get trampled or anything. Well, I thought that was really nice of him. So Finally they started to make some moves like they were starting to think about letting us in and THEN FINALLY I GUY CAME WITH A KEY!!!!!
Anyway, during all this time we were waiting, there was the usual display of BSB affection (elaborate posters, black and blue hair, etc...)and a group of girls standing by us had been there since 11 am (in was now around 530) were reciting BSB's, which was entertaining if not amusing. All of this was taking place right around the area of where the buses were parked which I assumed were the BSB's so of course we were all keeping a sharp eye on the area for any signs of the boys, but no luck. and I WAS COLD!!!!!! I wished I had gotten there in time to see the bus come in but oh well.
Anyway, after they finally let us in (the girl in the wheelchair never got to go in first for some unknown reason) I was sooo happy I ran all the way up the hill towards the upper level where our seats were. I was frozen and hungry but I WAS THERE AT LAST! JOY!
The heat of the building felt heavenly and I didnt know whether to find my seat or eat! I chose to eat first and then find my seat. Me and friend got nachos ($3.25 - ridiculous) and I hurried off the to find my seat. Shortly after my mom had to get something to eat so she got an expensive hotdog and me and my friend split a sub sandwich. We helped my mom find her seat which was WAYYYYYYYY up there just like ours. I was excited because at least we were on the end that the stage was on even though we were like 3,323,847,230,709 feet above it. Everyone looked like little lego people down there but when the concert actually started a nice little girl sitting next to me let me borrow her binoculars. Surprisingly, though, the opening act, Krystal got started right around 730. I guess I forgot to mention this was the first concert I had ever been to so it was a brand new experience for me. at 730 everyone screamed and I freaked out because i thought they were screaming because they saw BSB or something but it was just because it was time for the concert to start. Dummy me. Anyway, when it finally did start, Krystal came on and she sang "my religion" first. I found her style interesting, maybe even a little harsh. But it was nice though. She has a nice voice. I liked how she stood on the piano for the second to the last song. That was cool. Then after she was done she held up a water bottle that she said was Nicks because water helps him keep his voice beautiful. Then she threw it into the audience. Someone was lucky! Anyway, I thought her part was kind of long for just an opening act and truthfully I was getting kind of bored by the end of her part. Then there was a break and then Destiny's Child was on! They were good and they sang all of their popular songs and they wore pretty costumes. Then there was a break and me and my friend decided to sneak down to the floor level before the boys came on but when we got down there we got busted by a guard and had to go back to our seats:( oh well.
During the break you could cut the tension with a knife. Everyone there was SO excited because they knew their sweeties were right there so very close by.
And then the lights went out. First the right section, then the middle then the stage section lights went out. How Exciting! I am sure you have all heard about the spinning earth on the backdrop and the meteors that hit it with a big BOOM!!!!!!! Spectacular! The best part of the concert! I cried my eyes out when they started the pyro and the smoke and the whole place turned orange for 2 seconds!I was in heaven. They started out with everyone/larger than life, of course and when they went down into the trunk it was so cute!!!! Kevin goes do you guys wanna come into our dressing room? And everyone screamed so loud!!!!!! To make things worse he said "Are you sure" And they screamed even louder!!! Then they ran the video of them in their dressing room which was cute but it didnt convince me for one second that that was what their dressing room really looked like or that that was really going on underneath the stage. Still, it was cute. Everyone screamed when AJ took of his shirt, but who could blame them:-) then when they went on the little stage, they sang ill never break your heart and i cried. I could see them really good when they were on there and they looked so angelic just sitting on the edge of it singing softly. Somebody threw two things up on the stage by Brian but missed and they hit the floor. He just looked out at whoever threw it and gave a little shrug and a little smile. Then somebody handed him what fell on the floor (a rose) and he sang with it the rest of the song. The last thing i remember seeing before we had to leave early :( was nick running away down the catwalk back towards the stage and Brian leaning down to touch everybodys hand and take their gifts. There were also a lot of camera flashes going off so I guess a lot of people didnt mind breaking the rules.
you probably all know about the rest of the concert already and if you dont then i wont spoil it for you before you have a chance to see it. i am just here to tell you WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE how lovely the whole experience was. BSB is cute and sweet and nice and talented and I love them so much.
If you are going to a concert consider yourself lucky and you wont be disappointed. Thank you.

This concert definitly surpassed the Millennium Tour. They came out from under the stage, which surprised everyone. The fireworks certainly added to the suspension to when and how the boys were going come out.
The Backstreet Boys started off with strong and exciting with "Everyone" which was followed with "Larger Than Life".The outfits were leather, which certainly matched the songs.
About half was threw, the boys brought you backstage, to let you know what goes on backstage. Right after, they suddenly came up on the small, second stage. There, they sang "How did I Fall in Live With You". Then, they ran across the boardwalk and touched the fans hands. While on the walkway, they sang "The Answer to our Life" which including cool backround scenery.
The show included a magic show, which was created by AJ and Kevin.Also, about 5 of the each boys own coats,hats,and water bottles were thrown into the crowd. The boys also got the crowd involved by encouraging them to sing by theirselves and put their hands together.
This show rocked. I would spend 60 dollars again to see them again. I encourage all of you to get tickets for the sumemr tour!

The concert was great. The boys looks fabulous. I do however think that the Silver dome is too big for concerts. I mean it was so hard to hear the boys talking about their charities and even to hear them when they just talked and sang.
I was so excited to see them that I didn't care where I was sitting. I loved the clothes change part. That was great. They are such hams. It was totally different than any other concert. If you haven't seen them in concert you need too. They sang and danced so well. I loved that night.

Omg!! What a concert! When my sister, nicole, and I got home from school we decorated our car w/ soap. We wrote thngs like bsb and ktbspa and we wrote all 5 guys names. As we got closer to the silverdome we saw other cars like that too and some cars beeped at us and stuff. It was cool. We found our seats (section 110)and waited. Crystal was cool. She has a good voice. I didnt know that destiny's child was gonna preform also so that kinda surprised me. They were awsome! Then the real concert started. They preformed most of their songs from black&blue. I loved the costume change thing. It was taped though because kevin had a goatee and now he doesnt. My favorite songs had to be everyone, how did I fall in love w/ u, the answer to our life, I want it that way, and not for me. Here our the things that I didnt like.
1. The people next to us. They kept on going in and out of the row.
2. After the concert getting out was a mess! It was so crowded and cramped I could hardly breath. They had only 2 sliding doors like the ones in banks and an exit! Their was this guy who kept on cussing saying "its all for the f*c*ing backstreet boys" and stuff. And 2 workers got in a fight. It was horrible!
3. Somebody had a "we love justin" sign. They held it up for a couple minutes then took in down and thats it. That was weird.
4. Last one. None of the bsb band are the same. I knew that tommy smith quit but I didnt know that the others did too. Thats it. Bye and ktbspa!
