Black and Blue Atlanta GA! 1--27-01
Date: Jan 30, 2001
Submitted By: Katie
I went to the Atlanta,Georgia concert on Jan 27,2001.Let me tell you about one of the most amazing nights of my life! We (My mom,sister,and mom's best friend) got in Atlanta about 2:30 and decided to go ahead and check into our hotel (we didn't feel like driving 2 hours back home after the concert.) After getting settled and getting fully ready we decided to find someplace good to eat. We walked across the street and I kept seeing this guy who was wearing a BSB backstage working pass.He was going back and fourth from a rich hotel. Maybe theirs? Well,we finally found someplace to eat,but I didn't eat anything cause I was excited!
Our waiter was so nice,and told us to think about him while we were at the concert. On our way walking to the concert they wanted to get me a horse drawn carriage to go to the GA Dome. That was a lot of fun,but man was it freezing! I handed my Mom and her best friend their tickets (they were on lower level) and my sister and I had to go downstairs to get to the floor. Once we got in I bought a blue glowstick and a *Brian* poster. We treid to get down to our seats but they wouldn't let us :( We didn't have our greem bands. It was hell getting those bands! We went to talk to a security guard and he thought my sister was flirting with him to get backstage! Finally we went up to this desk for a woman to give us our bands.I turn aroung,and who do I see?
AJ! Well,a life size AJ figure. It scared the crap out of me!The lady gave us our bands but mine was broken :( By the time we got to our seats it was near 7:30. I took a picture of the stage. I was supposed to be meeting my penpal who likes Brian also. Her bright pink hat gave it away! We hugged and talked for awhile, I gave her one of my Nick BK toys since she didn't get one. She was a total sweetheart! Krystal came out and sang 4 songs. She can sing really well,but her songs sound kinda alike. After she went off I decided to go buy some shirts! I bought 2 really cute shirts! As I was buying the shirts Nelly came out. It was supposed to be Destiny's Child but they couldn't make it. I had to make my way back to the floor in the dark.. I about fell :) Nelly performed about 5 songs. He also picked 2 girls to come up there with them. By the time he got off I was a bit happy,because I was ready to see the BSB!
Sure I had seen them 2 times before,but this was whole new tour! My first concert I was on the last row,and on my second concert I had okay seats,then I had floor seats. They say 3rd times a charm! The BSB finally came out around 9:15. I stood up and started screaming my head off! They have the neatest stage. Wait till you guys see it! They guys started with "Everyone" it was so awesome! Leighanne was sitting on the 1st row so Brian kept going over there. Well, my sister had used all of our film right before she should have :( The BSB popped out right beside us! I thought I was going to pass out :) Guess who was on my side? BRIAN! He was looking at us! They sang 2 songs I think,and then Brian was like not only is it Superbowl weekend tomorrow is Nickolas Gene Carters Birthday! They told him they were going to sing to him. He took out his in ear moniters to hear the crowd as we all sang him Happy Birthday. He looked so adorable! They all hugged,and Howie looked like he was going to cry :)
They were throwing thinghs in the audience and then they were making there way back to the stage. Kevin was so sweet! He reached over everyone just to touch a little girls hand! They had the best dancing and the neatest stage backgrounds. AJ came out to talk and he was too funny! He was like I look fabulous!They were all so cute and funny! Then for the encore they came out to sing "Shape Of My Heart." I was singing my heart out! Nick and Brian were throwing a football from one end of the stage to the other until Kevin took it away! :) He threw it into the crowd! They bowed,and it hit me that I wouldn't get to see them till summer :( The guys did the best they could,and it was the best concert by far!! If your going to see them,YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN!! All there songs were performed so awesome.
My fave songs off the new album are "The Answer To OUr Lives" and "How Did I Fall In Love," and they performed those so awesome! After we got up out of the Dome, my mom's friend surprised me with a BSB tour book! We walked to the CNN center and decided to get a taxi from somewhere. It was my first taxi ride,and guess what? We happened to have my first wreck! Some stupid guy ran into our taxi. It hit my sister and me. We had to wait ont he police to be witnesses. Luckily everyone was okay and no one got a ticket! We got back to the hotel and everythin is a memory from then! It was the best concert ever,though! If you are going remember to be safe and have a blast! It was a concert of a lifetime! :)Now that I have my license I'll be driving to many more BSB concerts all over the place! KTBSPA!!!! :)

Hello! I just came back from Atlanta. I am from Mississippi and I went with 3 of my friends. This has been my 3rd BSB concert and I have to say, they have once again impressed me.
Krystal came on at 7:30. She sang a couple of songs. The audience also sang "Happy B-day" to Nick while she played the piano. But what shocked me the most was when Nelly came out! I couldn't believe that was him. He was awesome!
The big screen behind the boys was very clear which helped me alot. I sat on the 1st level straight across from the stage.
Anyway, I'll just tell about what I liked:
-I have always thought Nick looked alright but last night, he was looking so fine. It had to be his hair and how skinny he looked. He has lot some weight. It might have been how he popped his crotch alot and his tattoos showing.
-AJ was just thrusting his crotch everywhere! He was having alot of fun! At the end of the concert, he was running around dancing and pretending to play the drums.
-2 teddy bears were thrown onstage and Brian picked them up and made it seem like they were talking to themselves. Then he hugged them. He was so cute!
-During the video of BSB changing, the camera really focused on Kevin's butt when he bended over....really nice.
-I love the new AIHTG routine.
-The audience sang "happy b-day" again to nick. I can't believe he's 21. (isn't that right?)
-their outfits for this tour are the best.....the white suits, the black and blue outfits, the cowboy, casual look.
-The firecrackers in the beginning were so perfect.
-"If you Stay" is so beautiful.
I can't think of anymore things to say. But everyone will enjoy the show.
I do have to say that sometimes I couldn't hear them. It might have been that I was deaf or the crowd was too loud!

The concert was better then the previous two concerts of theirs in the past, except for the security guards, but I'll go into that later.
First, my two friends that I went with came over to my house at 12pm. We finished our sign that we made and lisetened to all of my Backstreet Boys cds. We were also screaming because we were happy that we were going to the concert. At 3:15 we left my house, and my parents dropped us off at the CNN Center that way we could eat and it would be cheaper there, instead of eating at the Dome. When we arrived I was wearing my "Frack" hat with buttons of the five guys on the hat. My other friend was wearing a BSB shirt, as we were walking by this girl starts screaming at us and saying that she loved A.J. We were yelling also.
One of the best parts of the day was seeing A.J. pulling in. When we left the CNN Center, wh heard fans yelling, so we ran to see what was going on, well, a bus was pulling in, it was A.J. He was waving at all the fans and saying hi to us. This one girl went running to the bus and he was telling her to get down so she wouldn't get hurt, he did hold her hand, though. Luckily, I got a picture of him, I hope that it comes out great.
We left that area and waited in line for about an hour to go in. We finally went in and we had to get a wrist band since we were on the floor. Our seats were terriable but we watch the whole concert on the floor. The first opening act, Krystal was great, she has an amazing voice, she's probably going to go somewhere with her career. We had to wait about 45 minutes for Nelly, Destiny's Child wasn't there, but Nelly was awesome. When he sang Country Grammar, everyone went crazy. Then we had to wait another 45 minutes for Backstreet Boys.
I enjoyed the the show, it was awesome, but I think that I would have enjoyed it better if it was not for the security guards, the kept pushing us back and telling us to go back to out seats, but no one did, it was like they were trying to ruin the show for us, but they didn't really. Three of the security guards were fans, because they kept on inching forward and they were dancing, singing, and taking pictures, all the fans ran past them and they didn't care. The other security guards told us to go back.
At one point in the show they invited us into there dressing room to watch them change, it was so cute and funny. Then they popped out onto a little stage like the one from last year, but a lot smaller. All of the fans went charging towards the gate. They did some songs on there. I had my Happy Birthday Nick sign up and I think that Nick glanced at it a couple of times, at least thats what my friends say. A.J. was facing in my direction and I waved to him and he waved back at me. That was awesome. Also, Kevin put Nick in the center and he said to him to close his eyes and take it all in, and we sang Happy Birthday to him. He seemed a little embaressed, but he was smiling, I think that he liked it. Then they walked back to the stage.
The guards told us to go back, but they didn't make us go back to our seats. They sang Answer to Our Lifes and they showed the different charities that they started. I was dancing and screaming, dancing and singing the whole night. Overall it was awesome and I can't wait to see them again. I hope that they put it on video. Well, I think that I wrote enough and this is one concert that I will not forget.

Hey! Well the Atlanta Concert at the Georgia Dome was the best! Okay well we got there around 6:30/7 PM since there was so much traffic. When we got there we couldn't find our seats, but we knew we were on the floor. Once we knew how to get down there, we had to talk back up the stairs to get come green braclets for "security reasons" Don't ask why?
As we waited for the boys to come on there opening act came on, Krystal. She had the best voice, but some how reminded me of Christina Ricci (don't ask!) Then after she left the stage me and my friend decided to go get some thing to eat. We were picking on everyone who looked like a wannabe-slut.(You know the girls who had the little outfits on that they were too big for or had nothing to show off.) While we were on the 1st level, we heard music and was like "OMG" then they were 4 guys on stage and was like.. WTF? Then it was Nelly! And the crowd went wild! You see, Destiny's Child was supose to be there and they cancled so Nelly was there.
The whole crowd sang along to the songs that they knew.He had a longer time on stage than Krystal. After that, we went to the bathroom. IN the bathroom right before you enter the girls restroom there is this cheap wall and behind it is backstage. I knew this since i was at the last concert they had at the Georgia Dome. Anyways, we were back there and we heard them doing there chant thing,or whatever you want to call it, we weren't forsure till we heard "1,2,3 BACKSTREET!" So we offically knew it was them. So i yelled "Hey WAZZSSUP?" and Howie was like "Hey!"Then they left. And then we went to the isle(we never sat in our seats) and we walked around. Then they came on! They had THE BEST graphics in the background! I don't want to give it all aways, cuz its all a suprise! They came on and started dancing and all i can say is that they brushed up on there dance moves!
They did several songs, and leted us go into there dressing room! It was too funny! But i think it was pre-recorded..i'm not forsure, but if A.J. does a "nose check" it is pre-recorded. Anyways, we were looking at the dancers and i was like "OMG THEY ACTUALLY HAVE CLOTHES ON!" And you can tell whos a backstreet boy and whos a dancer. Cuz i remember last time i was like "OMG THATS NICK CARTER!..oops thats a girl" so ya know!
I won't ruine it all for you, but also i wanna add that NICK HAS MUSCEL! i was like "oh yeah baby!" Around the middle of the concert we sung Nick "Happy birthday" Then i noticed that Nicky Boy has a another tatoo above the band around his arm. If anyone knows what it says please email me!
Anyways, after the concert we went to the bathroom again. And waited back there. And heard the guys talking. And we kind of talked to them. We stayed there till they left and went to the bathroom,actually. And they lady security guard came in to get us out and we talked. Turned out that they were really the guys back there and that they had to leave to fly to Tampa that night for the Superbowl.
When i met my mom turns out she got into the concert for free and had better seats than we did, but hers where on the first level. And i also keep asking her could we go to the airport, but she said no.
Well thats all! Also right after they let you go into there dressing room (if your on the floor) go to this thing thats round in the middle of the arena cuz they'll be coming out of it!

Hey Everyone!!!
I have gotta tell ya'll about the BEST day of my Life!!! Yesterday Jan.27 I got up early got dressed and My MOM, DAD, and Little Brother headed up to ATL. it's about an hour from my house we got up there at 11:00. Well we finally found our hotel and as we drove past the hotel next door *where I had heard the BSB had stayed before* and we saw the GREATEST site EVER TOUR BUSES!!!!!!! The excitement began to mound and my and my Mom were Psyched so after we checked in our hotel we walked next door to where the buses were parked and I read the most exciting thing ever on one of the buses Kissimmie, Florida-- it was them!!! We figured that they were tired from the drive- I'm sure they didn't get into the hotel until 6:00 in the morning- So we went and ate lunch.
After we returned we headed over to the hotel there were already some girls gathered in the lobby and outside so we waited outside for a while, but I was COLD the wind was horrible!! When we got into the Lobby we saw Marcus AJ's body guard walk by so we headed over to see if he would give Howie a picture of his sister we took and of course he said Yes because he is sooo SWEET!!! About an hour or 2 after Marcus came through the lobby we headed outside where minutes later Kevin and his body guard walked by!! Kevin is sooo Cute in person and his hair looks better too! He stoped and took a couple pictures- he was sooooooo NICE!! But he had to go put his luggage in his bus and his body guard said he'd come back out! So we continued our waiting 2 hours later a HOT blond came strolling out of the Hotel and everyone recognized it was Nick!! He walked by all the fans and climbed into his bus but said he'd be right out- and true to his word not even a minute later he emerged from the bus with a smile on his face!! Nick was the nicest I could have asked for more he have hugs and kisses and autographs. He was quite the crowd pleaser!! He even came over to my little brother, he's 5, and shook his hand and my mom said He's a future Backstreet Boy! and Nick said with a smile on his face That's great, I'll need some help when I'm old and patted him on the head!! What a sweetie he likes little kids!! After Nick greeted just about everyone he could he climbed on his bus and was off! 2 hours later Kevin came out of his bus and greeted fans too he was a sweetie and is soooo skinny in person!!
Kevin's bus left after he greeted everyone!! Well 2 down 2 to go because Bri was staying at his house not the hotel!! 30 minutes after Nick and Kevin left Howie D came out of the hotel he was in more of a hurry because he was running a little late so he signed a few autographs and then he was off! After Howie left we knew AJ had to be on his was and minutes later there he came! He was in even more of a hurry but stopped an hugged a few fans then climbed on the bus- where he continued to wave at fans!! All I have to say to meeting the Backstreet Boys is that they are The Nicest Guys in the World!!!! My day had gone great and it wasn't over-- it was soon time for the concert!! I don't want to give everything away but I'll highlight some of the parts: AJ OMG you can't take your eyes off him-He is sooo FUNNY!! The dances he does are the best and the stuff he says!! Nick WOW his dancing has become AWESOMEand he's become so comfortable with his BIG Booty he does all these booty shaking dances = )!!
Then when you get him and AJ together Well, all I can say is It's quite a show!!! Brian the hometown boy since he now lives in ATL. what can you say he cute and has the voice of an Angel!! He does the greatest Faces and Loves all the stuff people throw on stage!! Howie man he has a Great voice!! And these new booty shaking dances he does--WOW!! and last but not least Kevin-he's so sweet and you can tell he really cares about the fans-They all put on the Greates show and everything is sooo high tech now-- If the Boys are coming to a town near you You gotta go It ROCKS the Best concert YET!!!!! I LOVE THE BACKSTREET BOYS MORE THAN EVER AND I'm counting down the days 'til I can see them again!! Keep The Backstreet Pride Alive 4 Ever & Always!!

Ok, let me just start by saying this was one of the best shows I have ever been to!!! My mom and dad got me and 5 friends tickets to the show in Atlanta !! The night before my sister and I went to Charolette, NC to see the show !!! lets just say that CHAROLETTE ROCKED.... BUT ATLANTA KICKED ASS!!!!!! The show gets better every time you see it, belive me!!!! They started off lokking hot, of course, coming up from the stage with steam and pryo!!! Wonderful dancing and their voices sounded great!! They were very clear and right on pitch!!
Towards the middle of the show the boys stopped to sing Nick happy birthday, he got all shy and started blushing!!! AJ gave him 21 b-day hits right on the butt!!!! The concert lasted for about an hour and 45 minutes!!! Not quite as long as into the millumiun tour lasted!!! There were two ramps going off almost into the seats where mostly AJ and Nick walked up and danced!!!
I think that everyone needs to go to the concert cuz the boys have worked their butts off for us!!!!

Well, of course I am a major bsb fan if I went to their concert! I went to the one that was at the GA Dome. Well, my seats were F204 and they were ok but I wish I could have been closer! My mom and I started out for the concert at about 6:00 since we ate something before we went. Well, because of the boys being in town traffic was backed up a lot!!! We sat in traffic for like almost an 1hr then when we finally got there we had to go around to almost the front of building since our seats were on the floor! This was around 7:45 and the girl Krytal I think came on right at 7:30 so we didn't see her which I didn't care about. But I did get to see and hear Nelly. That was pretty cool then they went off and it seemed like forever and finally I think around 9:15ish the boys came on! But to begin the show the back screen showed like space and comets hitting the earth and stuff and finally a big explusion came on and bsb came up from underneath. WOW!!
I would tell ya the songs but I bet most of you already know how they start it off since you have been to the show already. So, anyways after a while they brought out this trunk that said BSB Wardrobe and then I think A.J goes do you wanna watch us get changed/dressed? Of course everyone says yes and so one by one they go down there and the camera man stands there and shows what is going on. It was cool I thought and so funny watching them get dressed and stuff then something really great happened this cat walk thing came down and the boys walked aross it (which I didn't see this since it was dark) but next think I knew they were in the middle of the floor section on this platform and they started sing songs and stuff and I ran up there and I tried to wave at them and I think they saw me but I don't know cuz the girl in front of me was holding up this sign so she blocked my view. I was kinda mad because she did that right when my favorite nick came to the other side of the small stage then they got nick in the middle and said you know tomorrow is nick birthday so lets all sing to him so of course I did really "LOUD".. then they went down the cat walk thingy and headed back to the stage.
All I can say is they looked good but I just don't like the people that work there that are in charge of keeping thinks working right!! There mean as crap and want let ya do anything.. But anyways I was able to get one picture when they were in the middle thing. The rest of my pictures will probabley not be that great! But see I have a friend who was there in F101 and maybe she got some good pictures?! Well, I do want to ask everyone who goes to the show to have fun cuz its really good and your gonna love it! I would love for people to send me pictures of what the concert they go to looks like!! Well,g/2/g Bye Lauren

I went to the Black and Blue World Tour for the BSB at the Georgia Dome. It was awesome. I got there and found my seat. My seats were right on the side of the stage. We could see sort of backstage. Krystal came on first. She sang My Religion, Supergirl, Angel On My Shoulder, I'll Be There and Happy Birthday to Nick. After about 15 minutes Nelly came on and sang a few songs then got off. While we were waiting for BSB to get on me and my friend saw Kristin, Kevin's wife, backstage and asked her to come over and talk to us but she couldn't. She waved at us 3 times then actually went backstage. 45 minutes later BSB came on. They sang Everyone then Larger Than Life. I lost track of the order from then. AJ was always on my side and saw me and my poster. Everyone else was me except Howie. Nick and AJ read my sign. Near the end of the concert AJ jumped off stage and ran over and touched my hand. It was so exciting and awesome.

I went to the concert in Atlanta at the Georgia Dome on the 27th and it was awesome!!!! The boys definately did a wonderful follow up to the Millenium tour. The show started with the earth being destroyed by meteors. The lights and fireworks were the bomb! Then the boys came down onto the stage and started with Everyone!!! They were wearing black leather...Nick,Howie,and Kev wore black shirts with designs on them and Brian & AJ wore blue shirts. Then they sang Larger than Life! The crowd was sooooo loud! There was about 40 to 50 thousand there. I can't remember the exact order of the songs but they sang everyone one of the ones from BLack and Blue!
They wore white leather at one point, then they changed into these black and red outfits, then they took us down the camera down in the dressing room to watch them change into casual clothes(that was awesome because you got to see Nick putting his pants on :) and AJ without a shirt), and the last outfit they wore was army looking. They also sang I Want It That Way, Everbody(Backstreet's Back), and All I Have to Give! During the show, right before they sang Time Brian asked if we knew that they had been together for almost 8 years and then he announced that tommorow was Nick's birthday and we all sang Happy Birthday to him! He was so embarrassed...it was to cute!!!! Toward the end of the show AJ said that there would be one more song and it was The Call and of course everyone in there raised it and then they went off stage but we knew it wasn't really over because they hadn't peformed Shape of My Heart yet. And of course they came back to sing it as the last song of the night. It was the best concert I have ever been too! For all you Nick and AJ fans....they do ALOT of very sexy moves!!!!!!!!!! Plus Nick looked soooooo good!!!! WEll that's about it and all I can say is enjoy the show(i know you will) and I can't wait till they come back for their summer tour!!!! wOOhOO!! :)

Well we got to the GA Dome at 2 in the afternoon there were like 3 radio stations around. well we made friends with some guys from 96.7 which was realy cool. Then we went to all the other radio sttation booths and told them how tonight was gonna be my 18th bsb concert and i have still never met them. noone seemed very enthused that they could help me out cept the guys at 96.7 so we went and hung ouut at their tent. the we told them we would help them do some promotions so we held up their sign and stuff then we started walkin around passin out stickers. if you went to the concert you probably got one from us i never knew how many stickers one radio station could pass out. im sure people were gettin annoyed by us but it was so much fun lol. the radio station promised us meet and greet passes if they had one but they ended up not havin one. well the doors opened and we went to our seats. they were 4th row right of to the left of the center. i was sooo excited. Well right before the opening act came on we met Nikki one of the dancers. Then Javy Lope and Eddie Parez came and sat riiight in front of us i was like OMG lol Javy was soooo sweet Eddie wasnt so nice though. Then Krystal came on and we had made here a sighn and knew the songs and stuff so she was like wavin at us and stuff lol it was pretty cool.
Then Nelly came on HE ROCKED lol him and his friends lol they were so cool it was kinda wierd you know nely openin up for bsb but they really got the crowed puumped. Well now its like 5 minuted to show time and who comeout from backstage but leighanne littrell! she sat like 3 seats down from us in the same row i was like omg lol this is amazing. She was so sweet too sighned every autograph and talked to every one who came up to her during the concert. The concert started and it was so cool. I had alot more interaction with them in Atlanta than i did in Charlotte probably cause i knew what was goin on. And after 18 concerts i finally got my first kiss from Brian it was soo cool lol. He came over saw me and waved then blew me a kiss. right in front of leighanne i felt so special lol she just laughed cause they both saw me flippin out he just cracked up. Howie waved and nodded alot tonight too and they all sang nick happy birthday it was cool very cute. hhes so adorable but anywho they were all soo cute i cant wait till next friday. im actually kinda depressed though i mean uhh its so sad i kinda feel like cryin. but ill be ok i still have friday hope you guys enjoyed my review even though it didnt have alot about the actual concert in it

I'll try to make this short and sweet for you guys, cause who really wants to sit there and read all these, and spoil the whole concert experience for themselves, cause they already know everything that's gonna happen. Well, I dont-so here's what I got to say: First off-If you're going to spend $64.50 on ANYTHING this year....I reccommend it be a ticket to this show. The words AMAZING, SUPERB, OUTSTANDING, and WONDERFUL don't even begin to describe it. You thought Millennium was good? It barely stacks up to Black & Blue....barely. Lets just say that there was a lot of fire, light, leather, and screaming. It is easy to see that the Boys spent a lot of time and put a lot of effort into this show, and again, I highly recommend seeing it. Im a 17 year old girl who should've grown out of things like the Backstreet Boys years ago, but last night's show proves to me that this is only the beginning of my life as a full-blown Backstreet fan. Thanks for reading my review...and enjoy the concert!

Our day started at 8am. Normally if either one of us woke up at this time we wouldn't be perky and would be grumpy, but today was an exception. We were semi-perky. Why? Because today was the day of our BSB concert. When we finally got out of bed around 8:30 i got online and Suzanne was getting ready. I didn't start getting ready til 11:30 and we were suppose to be leaving around 12:30.
We reached the Georgia Dome around 2 or 2:30. We noticed alot of people standing around to were the buses were gonna be coming through at so we went down there and stood for 2 hours. The dude from Wild 96.7 was giving away t-shirts and when he ran out, he took his off...and we both agree that he could've taken more than just his shirt off LoL. But anyways.....around 4:15 we saw 2 buses coming from different directions. Everyone saw the big bus and figured BSB was in that one but it turned out to just be a regular shuttle bus and the other bus contained Howie and Nick. After that we waited for about 10 mins and another bus came and supposely contained Kevin in it but we never did wait around to see who would come out of it.
At 5, we made our way up to the gates and they said they were gonna start letting people in at 5:30. We never got inside til around 6. Once we got inside we went to the souvinere stand and bought t-shirts, programs, bandanas and glow sticks. After we made our purchases, we went to where our seats were and gave all our stuff to daddy and went and got some food. Since the concert was being played in a football stadium, we had a variety to choose from but we got cheeseburgers and fries and a hotdog.
Finally at 7:30 the lights went down and Krystal came out. She was doing this Steven Tyler thing, you know whenever he performs he always carries the microphone stand with him wherever he goes. She did about 4 songs, the last one being a Mariah Carey song called "I'll Be There". She did a decent job.
Everyone was disappointed that Destiny's Child wasn't going to be able to make the show, but me and Suzanne were happy about that cause they got Nelly to take their place.
At 8 Nelly and his crew came out and did about 7 or 8 songs. It was funny cause whenever they started talking to us we couldn't understand them but we screamed and rapped along with them. Nelly and his crew did a great job.
After waiting for about an hour, which was now 9:30, listening to 70s music, the lights finally went out for the final time. The backdrop on the stage looked like stars and the screen in the middle showed earth. Then all of a sudden, meteors started coming towards earth. Everytime a meteor hit earth, the pyrotechnics would let off fireworks that looked like meteors. This lasted for about a good 5 minutes and then finally, BSB came through the stage floor on stool looking things. And then the show of a life time begun.
They started the show off by singing "Everyone". THey did a fabulous job and the dancing was just amazing. What was funny about this, while they were dancing, Nick turned around and his pants dropped so we got to see some ghetto bootay action. Then they did "Larger Than Life" and went for a warobe change. Howie came out and asked us how we were doing and if we were having fun yet and all that stuff. Then the rest of the fellas came out and they were dressed all in white. They performed "Shining Star". At first, we really didn;t like the song, but after hearing it live and seeing all the dancing to it, we actually really like it now. Then the guys left stage again and Kevin stayed out there and he was talking to us killing some time while the other fellas were "changin their drawers". They sung "What Makes You Different" and then "Yes I Will" and they had some kind of a cane dance routine to that song. Really don;t know why but it was interesting.
Next they did "More Than That" and two of the girl dancers came out and did some sort of a ballet dance to the song. Next was "I Want It That Way". Brian got the crowd to sing along with him on his part. He is just such a hottie. They went for another warobe change and came out in black and red outfits and did the porn song "Not For Me". The dancing to this song really rocked.Then they did "Show Me The Meaning....".
After they sung "SMTMOBL", AJ asked us if we liked their outfits and of course everyone was screaming. Then he asked us if we wanted to see them change and this got an even louder response. Then he asked if we wanted to see them change onstage our watch them do it from their dressing rooms. They choose the dressing rooms and this dude brought out this trunk that said "BSB Warobe". He opened it up and Brian got down inside of it and it took him under the stage. Nick was the next to go and he did some sort of "Genie in a Bottle" dance while going down. Then Howie was next. AJ and Kevin got next to each other and AJ put his arm around Kev's shoulders and AJ said "It's the Kevin and AJ show" and we all got a big kick out of this. AJ said he would go next and said "Beauty before Age" and went down. Kevin went over towards the trunk and closed it and locked it and everyone started laughing and cheering him on. Then he unlocked it and said something and he did a little Genie dance too. The camera followed Kevin down there and we all see them changing shirts and everything. They were hamming up for the camera and making everyone laugh. AJ needed some help from Brian putting on his shirt so Brian helped him out and Nick made a comment about it. Then Brian got ahold of a can of sillystring and sprayed it all over AJ. Everyone was laughing so hard and AJ had this look on his face that was just too funny. Then they all started getting in front of the mirror fixing their hair and they shoved Howie out of the way and Kevin broke the table. After they finally got situated, they came back out to the smaller stage that was out in the audience. They sung a medly of "I'll Never Break Your Heart" and "I Promise You". Then they song "How Did I Fall In Love With You". After they sung this song, Brian was saying something and then he said "Do you all know who's birthday it is tomorrow? It's Nickalos Gene Carter's" and everyone started screaming. So We all sung "Happy Birthday" to him and we saw tears coming from the boy. After that they did "Time" and walked on the catwalk that was out there in the floor section of the audience.
Kevin started talking about all the foundations that they came up with and did "The Answer To Our Life". Then they did the first part of "All I Have To Give" and then did the hat routine and then they sung "If You Stay". They all leave the stage and Brian comes back out and introduces some of the band and 4 of the dancers and they showed off their moves. Then Nick came out and introduced some of the band and he was doing something and he pretended that he fell and just layed their for a few seconds. Then he had some of the dancers come out and they did some moves. Then Kev came out and introduced the rest of the band and dancers.
Then they did "Everybody" and they came out from the floor again which was really cool. Then they did "Get Another Boyfriend" and the moves to this was awesome and somebody was really getting into their dancing to this song *cough*nick*cough*. Then they left the stage again and it was just AJ out there and he was asking us if we were having fun and that they were just gonna be doing one more song and then his "phone" started ringing. He asked us if he should answer it and we all screamed "Yes" so he did and he was telling the "person" he was talking to that he was doing a show in Atlanta and that he'll be home later and all of that and then they performed "The Call" naturally. After a short break they all came back out there and did the final song of the night "Shape Of My Heart". Someone threw two bears up to Brian and he was holding them and making them act like they were talking and everything which was too cute. They bowed during the middle of the song and then finished it out and left the stage, but of course AJ had to come back out there and show off. This part was too funny. He started walking funny over to the left side of the stage and did the "bootay dance", like the girls do in Sisqo's "Thong Song". Then AJ told all good night and the lights came up and the show was over with just like that.
We thought that they wouldn;t be able to top the Millennium Tour, but trust us, they did. It was an amazing show and one that we will not ever forget.
Atlanta Concert 1/27/00

Speechless. I was speechless after this concert--not because my voice was going, but because it was so incredible!
The beginning of the day was a little stressful, I had to learn how to get to the MARTA station for later that day. My Dad and I went down and he showed me the right exit and explained how to get home. Well by the time we were supposed to leave for the concert a truck had overturned and exploded, so we couldn't go that way. We had to take a different station and it was kind of confusing and there was so much traffic. But we finally made it and we survived the very crowded train ride. We reached the dome about 7:00, and we walked right it. Some of my friends went to go pick up their tickets at will call, but me and my friend kelly had separate tickets. We were down on the floor, really close to the stage in the center of the Dome. 20 feet away actually! We watched Krystal and then Nelly came on (I really didnt enjoy the show, you can barely understand what they are saying) Somewhere during that time one of my friends broke her wheel chair (she broke her foot) so security gave her a new one and took all of my friends up to the very front but way over to the left. Anyway they met Leighanne and missed Howie by a couple minutes.
The show finally started at about 9:15 (I won the bet) and it was a great opening! The guys looked great, and the sound was awesome because of how close we were. All the songs were great, I was a little disappointed that they didn't sing Quit Playin Games, As Long As You Love Me, and We've Got It Goin On, but it was still awesome. I was surprised that they resurrected If You Stay--I was completely shocked. Poor Kelly didn't even know the song! I have to say my favorite part was when they were practically 10 feet away from me. I hope at least one of my pictures comes out--If anyone else was at the Dome and has good pictures PLEASE email me! Kevin was in line with me the whole time and Brian waved at me, Howie winked at Kelly. They are real people--its crazy!! It was so great to see them up close. I can die happy now! I loved the little dressing room clip--that was hilarious. Especially when Howie hogs the mirror while singing "I got a new attitude!" I love those boys. I hope they come back soon!

This show was off da heezy!!! The special effects, the Boys, the dances, the singing were just wayyyyyy awesome. I love how they let us into their dressing room, and how we got to sing Happy Birthday to Nick. I espicially loved the fact that Nelly and Krystal were the opening acts!! It was alot more than I expected! Now all that needs to happen is NSYNC doing a better show than that...until then, the Boys did a phenomanal job!!
