pittsburgh concert
Date: Feb 14, 2001

Hi all, lets see where to begin. I am from western NY and we got tickets for the show in pittsburgh. We left ny about 9am and checked into our hotel around 2pm in pittsburgh. By the way what a beutiful city. Well what I saw of it anyway. So we get to the arena round 430 and everyone had to wait outside. That kinda stunkk as it was really windy and every thing was getting messed up from hari to great posters and for me my hat. I am a 30 year old mom and I brough tmy daughter and her friend to the show, but we were there because I am an obsessed fan.
Well after two hours of standing outside and not having a bathroom to use we were finally going into the venue. We found our seats they were ok. Igloo3 row d only 4 rows from the floor. God I was so impressed with the stage. It has ramps that walk right upinto the seats. And the guys can stand there and talk to you and sing to you and you can give them anything you want. God I was soo jelous.
Anyway krystal cameon and let me tell you the woman can sing. She is really short though, the girls went and got autographs and a picture with her when her set was over and said she was sweet.
The guys followed abotu 20 min later with everyone coming out of the stage in like a rocket pattern. Brian in the middle of course. After those great dance moves they moved on to larger than life and let me tell you you couldn't hear a thing in that place. Whew they looked hottttttt. They then went into a couple of ballads I was so aaawwww struck I couldn't remember what they had and hadn't sung yet. They were on the stage and they were fooling around with this box and each one ended going into it and then we got to see them get dressed for the next song and fool around , brian got aj with silly sting and for some reason kev couldn't find his boot.
When they came they were on the stage in the back of the arena. They came right out of the floor. Sooo cool. Here we are right down at the wood that separates the floor from the seats and they are right there. God I couldn't ake it. Well anyway the second song they sang was how did I fall in love with you and they had turned the lights on, first aj was on our side. It took like two minutes of yelling and screaming to get his attention, but we did. As you see my hat is a witchs hat with garland and stuff all over it so that I would get noticed. It has been to three bsb concerts now. And I have written to brian and he knows that it is me. It got ajs attentionhe waved and pointed right at us. I was liek cool but I really wanted bri to see it as he is my fav and friend. So any way they moved so they could see the other fans..BRIAN was right there in front of me.....LOL I was speechless standing there with my mouth wide open....
Here I am 30 year old wearing this rediclous hat and a sequin top with glow inthe dark stars on it. I had brought some light sticks with me that were a differetn color than those at the concert they were green and I had them in one hand waving them in the air and I was just waving the other hand and he looked right at me and put his hand over his head just likei was doing and then he pointed right at me and shook his head yes as if to say that he knew that I was there. See I have been writing to him scince the millenium tour and I told him we would be here and to look for me, but I had no idea he would do that....... I guess when I wasn't looking nick also pointed and blew a kiss the fans around me were telling me and I was just so stunned about brian noticing me that I didn't really care about anything at that moment.
Well to make a story short now cause the rest of the night is a blurr. The walkway was soo cool it comes down and they sing the time when they make there way bakc to the stage. They sing everybody in these awesome suits that just make them look hot. But they come out in these robes that they take off and throw outinto the crowd. They introduce the band and the dancers and then they did get another boyfriend and the call soo great the dancing was rocking. Somewhere in there they did a all I have to give medly with another song. They wraped up the show with shape of my heart and then they were off. To another show in another town. But for me this will be a permanant mark in my momory as it was the third time that I had gotten BRIAN LITTRELL'S ATTENTION AND IN THAT SPLIT SECOND I KNEW THAT I WOULD TRAVEL 4 1/2 HOURS TO SEE HIM ANYDAY.

Jaimster's Jammin Review of the one and only BSB!
Date: Feb 14, 2001
Submitted By: Jaimee!
Let me tell you about the concert that changed my destinaaay....me and my girls went out
First I have to say this was such an awesome concert! It was so slammin! Philly is the place to be! haha! The opening of the concert was da bomb! Asteroids and meteors came crashing down on us and it was just so spectacular! Their stage was the best I've ever seen! It took my breath away! My mom brought me and a friend! We just had a grand old time!
After a bangin opening the first song was "Everyone" which switched into "Larger Than Life." Let me just add that the boys are definitely larger than life. They put on the best concert with classics like "I'll Never Break Your Heart, I Want It That Way, Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely, and Everbody. They sang practically the whole Black and Blue cd.
They sang songs such as Get Another Boyfriend, Not For Me, Shining Star, The Call, and of course Shape of My Heart!
After they show a video on the huge screen of them in the dressing room underneath the stage. The highlight of the show was when they came on to this stage near the rear of the floor! Thats when i just went crazy on the pictures! Woo-ee! I'm surprised I did not get arthritis from snappin away! You know what I'm sayin? Anyways,
they sang I'll Never Break Your Heart on that stage and then a big bridge formed from the regular stage to the smaller stage! Then they performed the wonderfully written and very touching ballad, "Time." Also, I have to say they fine-tuned their dance moves and the boys are back and better than ever! I just have to say that
this was one of the best concerts I have ever been to! All their songs and performances are just so well put together! I had the best time at both BSB concerts I went to! Both the Millennium and Black and Blue Tour were just so awesome! I can't wait to see them again! Keep BSB Pride Alive!
Thanks for reading my review! You have to experience a BSB concert for yourself because my review is All I Have To Give!
Peace and Love, Jaimster

I'll admit before I went to this concert I really didn't care for the BSB. I had been a fan before, but had been a bad person and totally switched over to *N Sync.
Krystal is absoloutely amazing. She puts all those other female singers to shame and I can't wait to see more out of her. She's talented beyond belief.
Ok, now on to the boys :). I didn't really understand the meteor opening with the scary KKK dancers, but other than that the show was way better than I expected. Nick definitely puts on a show all himself, haha. His spontaneous spazzing was quite entertaining. The poor boy got a quite large pair of ladys underwear stuck to his face for a few moments though...embaressing much? Poor thing. He's probably used to it anyway :). They sing alot of slow songs which is cool because you get to enjoy the music more because the crowd is calmer. Overall the only one who screwed up was Brian and it wasn't even a dance routine or song that he messed up on. When they go out on that circle thing he went on to say something about them being in Pittsburgh on the Millenium tour which never happened. Big Nicky's a beast, haha. When they were running on that bridge to the stage it was like bouncing up and down as he was gettings off it. Howie's "There isn't enough room in here for you guys and my hair." and Kevin's "I can't find my boot..." are absolutely classic and reign as my favorite parts of the concert, haha.
Great show and I'm now a "reborn" BSB fan :). It's good to be back :).

Hey guys! OMG THAT CONCERT WAS CRAZY!! ONe of the best I've ever seen!I had seats in c-20 (near the smaller stage). When we got their me and my friend were arguing if they were gunna show up there! Well they did, and after the wardrobe video, i looked up when i heard music and looked in front of me, and I saw Nick slowly rising up! I ALMOST PEED MYSELF!!! I was a little mad cos as they were walking around, Nick barely spent ne time in front of our section, like brian did! But that boy (nick) was goign crazy up there!! He did so many pelvic thrusts, and when he sang "Am I sexual?" He undid his belt and was waving it around while doin a pelvic thrust! The whole stadium practically died! And I got a couple pics of him with his butt turned to the audience!! lol. I think he waved at me, cos I was going crazy!! But next time i go, im going to wear this crazy shiny silvery wig, last year, I read something here about some girls doing that and they waved at them a lot. But I hope they come back in the Summer!!! I HAVE to meet Nick!! lol

2/9 Backstreet Concert at Mellon Arena
Date: Feb 13, 2001
Submitted By: Liz
Here's the story of my concert experience.
Me, my best friend, and my friend's
mom and aunt got to the Mellon arena around 7:00. We sat through the opening act, Krystal, who was ok. Then, we waited for about half an hour for the guys to start. Then, all the lights went low. The dancers came out wearing these glittering hooded robes. They simulated meteors falling, and the dancers acted like they got knocked down by the blast. Then, the boys came out. There were 5 holes in the stage, and each of them rose up on round platforms.The platforms lowered, the boys jumped off, and they started to sing "Everyone". After they were done with that they started into "Larger Than Life". Then, they cooled things down with "I Want It That Way". They did all the songs on Black&Blue except It's True. I didn't sit down through the whole thing. My seats were right by the ramp. K

After waitng a lifetime for BSB to finally come to Pittsburgh it finally happpened and I was one of the lucky ones to actually get tickets. Which I deserve cuz I'm their #1 fan. Anyways , We Arrived at Mellon Arena At around 6:15 and Headed right to the Kiss 96.1 booth for the poster contest. By the time we headed in the statium it was 7:30. Krystal came on .. she was really good. NE ways our seats were really good c27 row M. When they came on stage my sis and I went in to tears. A.J. ( My Fav) looked soo goood. The whole time I waz screaming for him. I loved his booty shake in " Your My shining Star" I lost my voice by the second song But I still screamed as much as I could For A.J. I would have to say the best part of the whole song waz when the bridge connected the 2 stages. It waz unbelieveable. I danced along to all thier songs .. I would have to say it was the best concert that I have ever ever ever been to. I didn't want to leave. The guy's did an awesome job. And i hope that They come back to Pittsburgh Soon!!!!!!!
The Day I FINALLY Met the Backstreet Boys

The concert was AWESOME!!! It was the best I have ever seen! You guys will LOVE it!!!
On February 9th 2001 in Pittsburgh PA, I met the Backstreet Boys! My friend Amy is cousins with Howie. Her cousin is Married to Howie's brother!!!!
It all started with us going to the Will Call window and waiting for a LONG time to get our tickets. We finally got them, and when we looked at the envelope it said "9 VIP and 9 tickets". We all went hysterical!! We looked at the tickets and saw that they were 7th row in the center and that Howie had paid for them!! What a sweetie! So, we get into the arena and everyone is jelous of us, they were all saying can you get this signed for me... blah blah blah! (it was great!) We get backstage and we're sitting there waiting for Howie when all of the sudden Brian Littrell walks by!! He had on a wifebeater and jeans... he looked GOOD! We asked for a picture and he said I have to go get ready, but if I have time after I'm done then sure. But of course he didn't have time! Oh well! Howie's security guard then takes us down this hallway where the Backstreet Boys dressing rooms are. Pretty soon Krystal (the boys opening act)walks by and says "hi" to me! She's such a sweetie! Then I see my favorite boy who I've waited all my life to see... AJ!!!!! I look at him in amazement and he waves to me! I just about lost it, lol! He walked right over to me and I asked if I could get a picture taken with him, he said "Yea, we're going to go do meet n' greet you can get one there". I told him that we didn't have passes for meet 'n greet. And then he said "Well then we have to take a picture now!!" I put my arm around him and smiled! I am so happy to have talked to him. Then he said "Thank you, I'm sorry I don't look that presentable" I said "THANK YOU! and you like fine!!!" lol! He said thank you to me! That's insane!!! Then I look up and Kevin is staring right at us!! He smiled and then left for the meet n' greet with AJ. Then Nick walks by! Oh what a cutie! He was an inch away from my face! He is sooo hot! Amy asks him if she can get a picture with him and he said "We have to go do meet 'n greet, but when I get back we can get one" But of course we left before they got back! Then comes Howie D!! The sweetest guy ever!! (I met him before!) He said "Hey, did I meet you before?" and I said "Yep, at Penn State, I'm Bre!" He said "Yea I remember, nice to see you again." I love that man! He then told us that he was so sorry that they were running so late. He said "You know we always run on Backstreet Time" lol, that's soooo true! He asked us how our seats were and said that he was so sorry that we didn't get to talk longer. Then he invited us to go to the movies with him and the boys after the show!!! He gave us all the information and then we said good-bye and went to our seats for the show! The show was awesome!! Our seats were awesome!!! It was the best night of my life... so far!! At one point during the show they had a bridge go over the audience members who were sitting on the floor... which was US! It was right above us and each of the guys made eye contact with me! They are so cute! After the show we went to the boys hotel and Howie said that we couldn't go to the movies with them because their management wouldn't let us. But still it was awesome and I will never forget that night as long as I live!!! Thanks so much to Amy and her family for making this happen! It was the best birthday present ever! I had the time of my life!
My Brian Encounter!

Submitted By: Marissa
Ok i just wrote an incredibly long and boring concert review, but read it its cool! haha.
So here we go. Theresa, Emily, Amy and I decided to scope out the place aka the seats that were situated "behind" the stage. We figured there might be some action backstage. So we find it and check out the view, it was pretty cool! Then we realized that we were at the enterance to the 100 level backstage! One guard was there named jonathan that was extremely tolerant! SO we were talkin to him and ocasionaly checking on our seats from up there. Amy and Emily spotted him first. 3 guys came out from behind the curtain talking. They recognized Bri's hair flip so theresa (THANK YOU) ran and got me.
AND THEN. He turned around and walked towards the escalator and we saw his face. we were sure: IT WAS HIM. Keep in mind, we were less than 50 ft away from him. There was a moment of shock which was enough time for him to get to the escalater, then we realized what we had to do.
"Brian!!!! Hi" was what got his attention. "Hey girls" and a big smile and a wave. It was so amazing we were the only people in this whole area so he was obviously talking to us and saw us! and our outfits haha guys!
We said...."Can you come over here please???" He was just on the escalator and it was to late he was on his way down. "Sorry girls i really cant i'm going down!" another cute smile and a shrug of the shoulders.
"We love you so much Brian, We want you to know that!!"
aaaah this is the best part......get ready........he says
"Thanks so much girls" and BLOWS US A BIG KISS. And then he disappeared.
Of course our usual backstreet luck hit us when we realized we had no cameras to witness the best moment in our lives so far. But someday.......PLEASE GOD!!!!!

Black and Blue Tour - Pittsburgh, February 9
Date: Feb 11, 2001
Submitted By: Lynne
The Backstreet Boys finally made it to my hometown on tour and it was fantastic! I had seen the Millennium tour twice (had to travel out of state), but seeing them along with 17,000 fellow Pittsburghers was really great!
I spent about 3 hours outside the boys hotel in the afternoon hoping for a glimpse, but no luck. Earlier in the day, Brian had been spotted going out to play golf.(Golf in Pittsburgh in February? Who'd have thought!) I had no luck though, but really enjoyed spending time with the other fans, who were very polite to the hotel staff and to each other. I also enjoyed meeting some fellow members of the Mature Fan Club. Hi guys! BSB fans are the best... I would have liked to have stayed longer, but figured if the guys hadn't left by that time (2:30), they wouldn't leave until a few hours before the show (I don't know if Brain was back yet), and I had to get ready for the concert! If anyone met or saw the guys, email me...I'd love to hear about it!
We (my 2 friends) and I arrived fairly early. The line to be let in was so long! Why wait in line though? Everyone will get in eventually. So, we stayed around the B94fm van and jammed to the tunes. Went in about 7:15 and got our programs and seats. Almost at the back of the arena, but fairly close to the little stage so I was excited about that. The usher (a nice older man)saw my camera and told me I could take pictures but no flash...he said they didn't care, but if BSB security caught you they'd take your film. I thanked him, but figured I was gonna risk it anyway, cause with no flash the picuters would be useless anyhow! Early in the show though he came up to me and said go ahead and take a few pictures...just a few. He was a sweetie. I saw someone on the floor with a camcorder...now that's gutsy!
I thought the show was awesome ! My ears weren't as bothered as previous concerts by the screaming. I don't know if that's the arenas accoustics or the crowd was more subdued. No one in my section was standing, but I was on the edge of my seat the whole night until GAB, and then I just had to dance! More people got up then too. My favorite songs were GAB, IWITW, LTL, The Call, and HDIFILWY. I almost cried when Howie hit that note! Go Howie! I also thought the skit was funny. The meteors and explosions at the begining were fantastic! I enjoyed ths B&B show better overall, but prefered the songs on the Millennium tour.
All the boys seemed to be having fun, and had tons of energy. Brian was his usual angelic self. Kevin (my fav) looked hot as usual (though I don't care for the hair). Can any man wear leather or suede pants better than Kevin? I don't think so. He is the most personable of the boys with the audience. He made a funny comment (I'm sure he says this at all the shows, and it was AJs line last year, but it was still cute). He said "There sure are lots of beautiful ladies in the house tonight. I'm married, but I can still look". AJ was funny, but calmer than in previous shows. Howie finally got the love he deserved from the crowd! And little Nicky (who was the crowd fav) really got into the show. What a ham! He was very cute...
Before I knew it, it was over and we were home before 11:00. AJ said it was their first time in Pittsburgh, but not their last. I hope he means it.

Hey everyone! This is really long, just to warn everyone. Yesterday and Thursday I went to the 2 shows in Pittsburgh. THEY WERE BOTH AWESOME! Krystal is sooo good and she's so tiny and cute. We saw her up close both days and she waved to us both days too! She's really nice. Anyways, Thursday's concert was really cool just because it was their first time ever in Pittsburgh. We missed seeing them get off their buses on Thursday by like 2 minutes! AGH. Friday was the best day of my life though! We got to the arena at like 3:45 and waited where their buses come in. Well at about 5 a huge bus pulls up and me and my friend were SCREAMING sooo loud. Turns out that it was Nick's family's bus.
First his dad got off but no one knew it was him until about 3 minutes later. He was really nice and waved to us. Then Willa (yes, Nick is back with her) got off and went right in. Then Nick got off. He was wearing a red sweater and he waved to everyone with this HUGE smile on his face. Then it got kinda quiet and my friend was like "Nick, I love you. " And he turned around and gave her the "I love you" sign (in sign language). Needless to say we started flipping out and crying! Then a few minutes later Aj's bus came. He walked the whole way down the ramp (for some reason his bus didn't pull in the garage like the others). So he was outside waving for like 2 minutes. It was awesome.
Next, Howie pulled up in a van. He got out really quickly and went inside after waving for like 2 seconds. Quite awhile later 2 vans pulled up. Supposedly Kevin was in the first one but no one saw him. Brian was in the second one. I think everyone scared him because we screamed so loud. So he left kinda quickly. Then we ran around the other side of the arena where the actually park the buses. Well, it turns out that Brian was walking around down there! So, that was 2 times I saw Brian that day. He was a little more calm this time, he waved for quite awhile.
Then 5 minutes later, Kevin (wearing this cute little hat... looked soooo adorable) got off the bus and waved to everyone while he walked inside. AGH. I saw all of the guys and Krystal up close! That was the greatest day. I took pictures but I don't know if they'll turn out or not. Plus, my scanner doesn't work. But, if they do turn out and anyone wants some, I can get copies. Just e-mail me and I'll let you know if they're decent. I get them back on Monday.
February 8th Pittsburgh Concert

Ok, here are all the details since I actually got some sleep! PS~ Sorry this is so not written nice but I just wanted to tell ya not make it perfect. * represents MY thoughts. We left at 2:30pmFeb 8th for Pittsburgh. I checked at least 5 times to make sure I had everything and we did, or so we thought. We got half way to Pittsburgh when we were talking bout seeing and we remembered we forgot the binoculars! Oh well, we’ll at least see them on the big screen and back stage J and our hopes were lifted once again! Then we thought we got lost! *oh no we’re never gonna make it to see them and I’ve been waiting two months for this, I HAVE to see them!* But instead, I reassured, We’re DEFINITELY gonna make it! When we were almost to Pittsburgh we were flipping through radio stations and heard Backstreet’s Back! So we sang along with it, and when It was over, the guy came on and he’s like “this is BSB94!” lol so we were listening and after every song they’d play bsb =-) and they were broadcasting live so the fans were singing and it was all good! We finally got to Pittsburgh and my mom and her fiancé were fighting about how to get to the arena, well me being miss observant lol, looked to my left and I was like “heyyyy there’s the arena!!!!!!!” lol. So we finally got there *traffic was bad* and we got out and finished off a roll of film. It was sooo much different from my LOCAL arena, cause it was soo much bigger and everyone was much more hyped up! It was an hour and half before so we were walking around and there were two radio stations and news pplz there but we didn’t try to get on tv. They were giving away backstage passes but ya had to make signs….* no way we could have survived in the back of the car with a huge sign too!* so we couldn’t win anything but we were still gonna see the boys! The buses were right there by the one radio station and you could walk right down to them! and I wanted to touch a bus lol but I didn’t get to. When we were walkin to get in line though we did see a guy on the bus that looked like Howie and I was like crouched down looking in the bus and finally I gave up lol. So we got in line and the lines were really long then so we found another short line and it started getting long. This mean looking dude came out and he’s like noooo cameras! And I was like oh I’m screwed now cause I had my mom’s $300 camera and they were NOT gonna take it. (I had my camera inside my coat and It was sooooo noticeable) So we finally got up there and managed to shove our way through the door and get through cause they didn’t check for cameras * haha!* so I bought a tour book and we took the escalator up the steps and we had no clue where we were going! I saw the official poster * which I didn’t see them selling* on the wall and I was like ooooh I should take it! And this lady’s like you can buy it when you get upstairs!!!!!! NOTE: they didn’t sell them! Anyway, I got a t-shirt, poster and nick pic upstairs and we went to find our seats. They were checkin for tixs so I told Danielle I’d help her find her seat. We were almost in the same section except she was up way high L and I was mad. I sat down for like 5 minutes and I finally went up to find her cause there were like 5 empty seats beside me! She came down and sat down and when the usher pplz came down she just acted like she was gonna move. Well the one time he came down he was like I need to get two peoples past you and I forgot my camera was lying in my coat (the good $300! Camera!!!!) and it fell hard to the floor and the battery went one place the little back piece for the batteries another. (at least I got SOME attention when everyone looked!!) I can’t believe the guy didn’t yell bout my camera but say, “You dropped a piece there!” lmao. So we sat down for a while and the guy came down again. I was like uh oh is it the camera thing, or seat thing? And he’s like let me see your tickets. I blurted out “she’s just here to talk!” and I couldn’t find my ticket! Ahhhhh! I finally found it and he’s like your over there next section (yessss she can stay!) so we moved over and there weren’t ANY empty seats there so Danielle sat right in the tiny aisle between me and another lady (what a trooper! She actually kneeled cause she couldn’t sit!) so we were talking and finally krystal came out (I had ‘My Religion’ stuck in my head allll day long) and she has the most beautiful voice! (she sang my religion, super girl, my angel and I’ll be there) * I have to pee really bad but I don’t wanna get up cause I’m in the middle of the section so Ill just wait til Krystal’s done* lol that was during the first song! When she was finally done, she said she’d be signing autographs in section b ? we didn’t here but I really wanted a picture with her! We decided not to go and I just went to the bathroom and came back. Finally, BsB came out and I was deaf already lol. The beginning of the show where the asteroids hit….it was sooo scary lol I was afraid of the asteroid to hit cause it was soo ….just scary! They had the awesomest choreography although my fave was at the beginning when they just came off their riser things and every time a beat of music played they’d make a move. Nick was soooooooo good w/ his glasses on! (I can’t remember really anything any of the others did cause my eyes were glued to nick, and no more than 5 of my pics will not have nick cause I took like 5 pics every time he was in the spotlight J) Oh, the bad thing, I missed like two songs trying to load film cause I put it in wrong :P! They sang a bunch of songs and it was soooooo good! Finally they did their wardrobe thing and it was hilarious (from what I saw, I was waiting for them to come back!) After it was over, they appeared on the back stage and Nick popped up right in front of me and all I could do is cry and shake (hey last concert I almost passed out, Im doing good!) So I snapped a bunch of pictures and they are sooooo beautiful up close!!!!! Anyway, They sounded soooo good *when don’t they?!* and they sang “Time” to go over the catwalk. Then they sang like most of my fave songs at the end =-) I think the best song they performed was “Get Another Boyfriend.” Although they were all so good! After the concert, we were trying to get outside to maybe see the boys? *you could get right down to the buses * but somehow we managed to end up on the top level of the arena and we endlessly walked around until we found the buses and we waited. There were a bunch of limos and people walkin down there and like 3 guys went past that looked like Nick although they weren’t *duh! * But Krystal came out and these girls next to us are like “Hi Krystal!” and she looked up our way and waved which was cool! So finally we went to the car and left. I think it was the BEST show. Ten times better than Millennium tour and that was REALLY good. I honestly have to say I didn’t think it was gonna be THAT good although I knew it would BE GOOD. Here’s a few things I’ll always remember. 1. Nick throwing a guitar. 2. Nick going “come here come here” and waving his arms on the big screen and kissin the camera. 3. “The Call” sequence at the end when they came up on the stage w/ blue robes on. 4. The dressing room thing 5. Nick looking totally depressed on the back stage. 6. The opening sequence and everything leading up to “Everyone” There were soooooo many good moments that stood out but those are the ones I can think of right now. I hope if you go to a show you’ll have a great time like I did =-) and if you don’t have tickets, Im sorry that you have to miss out on the best show. Here’s the link to my site although I only have the small stage pics up now, I’ll have the rest up later! http://itsallgood.kiwitown.com/pittsburghbsbpics/
