Hi, here is my concert review, I was on Augest 28, 1998 at Montage Mountain. First out we had 3rd row seats but got to move to the 1st row. A.J. introduced Aaron Carter and he came out with his 2 dancers Daryll & Keith and really had everyone going. Then Robert Carter walked passed us. Then finally BSB finally came on stage starting out with "That's the Way I Like It." Then they danced to "Too Close" by Next, and "It's All About the Bejamins" by Puff Daddy.And they sang "If I Ever Fall in Love" After that they did "Hey Mr. D.J." and Howie was on my side of the stage,{he's my favorite!} and i'm screaming his name, and blowing kisses and waving to him, and all of sudden I noticied he was coming over to me! By this time i'm totally in shock, and he's dancing by me and when the part of the song where they say "C'mon rock your body, rock your body" he came right in front of me gave me this stange look and a wink then on that part he was looking straight at me while he threw off his jacket and pulled and tugged at his shrit! While watching me, that was a dream come true! Then his solo came but unfortunetly the person next to me caught his rose. Then A.J.'s solo came, then Kevin, Nick and lastly Brian. They did the rest of thier songs. But besides "My Heart Stays With You" and "Hey Mr. DJ" "Everybody" was my favorite proformance. They came out in coffins and really cute outfits like the dance scene in the video. And danced their crowd out. I've been to 4 other BSB concerts besides this one but this was the best one ever!

where: Shea's Performing Arts Center, Buffallo NY
when: September 25th, 1997

Okay, the moment you've all been waiting for. Well, where do I start? I went with my friend, Holly. Her parents drove us all the way to Buffallo from Brantford, Ontario, and we were thanking them all the way there. It was hard to find the place (Shea's Performing Art Center) because it was on Main Street, and you can't drive on Main Street. It's like, just for street cars. So when we finally found it, it was pouring rain. So we parked at a McDonald's on the other side. So me and Holly wanted to get in there as soon as possible, cause DUH the Backstreet Boys were there! So we said bye to her parents and went inside. We had alot of stuff with us. Altogether we had $35 bucks American, binoculars (which we didn't need), three huge posters that we made ourselves and some other junk. So wegave our tickets to the guy at the door and he gave us back our stubs (which right now I have in a very safe place). So we found the door that we had to go into to get our seats. But the doors weren't open yet. So we went to where they were selling BSB stuff. I bought a huge poster, a keychain and a necklace. Holly bought everything that I did except for the poster. Then we went back to the entrance to our seats, and waited about 10 minutes.... All of a sudden some girls started screaming really loud and my stomach totally flipped. Me and Holly rushed over because we thought the Backstreet Boys were down there, but of course, they weren't. They were screaming about something else. So finally they opened the doors, and we went in and found our seats. We were surprised to see that it was a really small place. We were really excited; we would be able to see them perfectly! So we sat down and tried to calm each other down.... But I was shaking and Holly couldn't stop moving. When the lights started to dim, we looked around, and only half the Center was filled with fans! But that was even better. So the first opening band came on. DJ Company. They played like, three songs and got right off. Then Le Cliq came on. They were good, but everyone wawas waiting for the Backstreet Boys. So after three songs, they got off too. Then there was a little intermission. I guess they wanted to torture us, because we were going hysterical! We thought we saw Brian and A.J. a couple times peek out from behind the curtains, but we weren't really sure, cause we weren't thinking clearly. So FINALLY the lights dimmed again, and the BSB band started playing. Everyone started screaming. Then the curtain dropped and there were Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, A.J. McLean, Kevin Richardson and Howie D. standing up on the stage. I immediatly started screaming and crying. It was so awesome. The sang that little song that's at the beginning of the Live In Concert video. And Nick did the same thing... He mouthed the whole thing, and threw his arms up at: "Bring that beat back!" Then they sang That's The Way I Like It. Then they brought out five stools and they came out one by one and said something to us. Nick talked about how he was born in New York, and he said hi to his grandparents, who were in the audience somewhere. Then the sang a few songs acapella, including one that I had never heard before. But it was really good. Then they sang some more songs. The got us all up and dancing..... and screaming... and crying... I didn't stop crying until the very end of the concert. Anyways, after singing alot, they left but we screamed so loud that they came back and sang Get Down, As Long As you Love Me and Quit Playin' Games last. Then the said thanks and everything, bowed and waved, blew kisses, the works. Then Brian, Howie and Kevin left the stage. Nick and A.J. wouldn't get off. They were being really cute.... A.J. had two drum sticks and he was drumming on the floor. Then he threw them out to the audience. And no, I didn't catch one. But then Nick left the stage, but A.J. stayed. Then Nick came back and DRAGGED A.J. off. It was so cool. Then me and Holly went down to the stage door and gave the security guard there our three posters, and he gave them to some lady who took them right into the boys! We wrote our addresses and stuff on the back, so I hope we hear from them. Then we went out the back door, to where their tour bus was. But there were like, 20 security guards holding us back. So we hugged the corner of the bus, kissed it.... Then we went around to the other side of the bus, which was closer to the door. We were really close up. Nick came out first, but there were tons of security arouns him. He was being really conceited; he just got on the bus and went to the back to watch TV. But then the other guys came out, and they each waved to us out the front window. They were so nice! Then, the bus took off and Holly and I were like, two feet away from it. Howie was at the side window (the only one that wasn't tinted) and waved at all of us. He's sweet. Then that was it. We found Holly's parents and went back to boring Brantford. But it's an experience I'll never forget!

where: Memorial Hall, Kansas City, KS
when: January 31st, 1998

I got the tickets for my birthday!!! When I found out that they were coming to Kansas City, our parents wouldn't let my best friend and I go to it. After I got them, my mom told my best friend's mom that she'll take us, but my friend couldn't come. So, that's why my mom came with me. It was on Sat. Jan. 31st, 1998. I had a blast!!! It was da bomb! Anyway, I got up at 9am to take a shower and got ready. My mom, step-dad, and I left at 11am to drive 4 hours to Kansas City! We got to our hotel, dropped off my step-dad at a friend's house. My mom and I went to the mall for a couple hours. Then, we went to eat. I could not eat!! Cause I was nervous and excited!! I was wasting a really good salad! *L* On the way to Memorial Hall, we were lost 2 times!! We saw a big building with 3 tour buses and a long line of people! Of course, it was the hall! It was packed!! There were people of different ages, like teens to adults! Then, Los Umbrello came out. It was ok. But, I wanted BSB to come out! They sang for 50 min! Then, the stage people tested the mircophones. I think BSB was late getting there. Finally, BSB came out at 9pm!! They jumped off from a little stage thingy from the back with steps. Everybody was screaming!!! Including me!! My heart was beating!! It is so cool to see them in person! I had better seats than I thought it was going to be. I was 10 feet from the stage. Except, for this stupid pole in front of me, but it was not so bad. I got pics of each of them and the group. They wore yellow, blue, red, white, and purple. (I think). Then, they changed into black outfits, and white outfits with white hats (my fave). They sang, "That's The Way I Like It", "Get Down", "We've Got It Goin' On", "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" (I think), "Hey Mr. DJ (Keep Playin' This Song For Me)", "I'll Never Break Your Heart", (with 3 ladies, probably from the tour family or something), "Anywhere For You", "Lay Down Beside Me," (I think), "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)", (everybody knew that song, cause they were clapping and singing along!), "As Long As You Love Me" (with a dance with the chairs), & "All I Have to Give". (they are not in order. I can't remember, cause sometimes it was hard to hear with all the screaming!!) They are great dancers!! Brian was being funny, as usual, showed off his tattoo, someone took one of his gloves, and he was being funny about that. Whenever he look my way, I wave. But, he can't see very well, with the lights on his face. Nick laid down on the stage two times, poured himself with a water bottle, sang and held the girls' hands. So did Brian. A.J. was acting crazy, as usual. Then, it was over at 10:10pm! Not very long! :( There wasn't an autograph session, but I had a lot of fun! I got a black t-shirt, with the guys on the front, and on the back, it has Tour 98 with the US cities. I also got a program with pictures, what they look like now. Then, I went outside. The fans was standing, yelling for their names, and they were by their tour bus! Howie went to sit in the driver's seat doing something for 15 min. He was waving at us and being funny. I saw A.J. in there, wiping his nose! (got a pic of that! *L*). Never saw Brian or Kev in there! My mom moved me to a better place to see. I'm glad she did that, cause I was across the street when the bus pulled out. I looked on the side and saw Nick standing in there! I waved, but didn't wave back and I got a pic of him. The pic came out ok, but all there was a dark figure! *L* I was watching them leave, which was hard, cause I didn't want them to leave or I didn't want to go home! I also wanted to follow the bus! I figured out why they didn't do autographs, because they had to travel 10-12 hours to Dallas the next day. This was the best time of my life! I was so hyper, that I couldn't sleep! It was my best birthday present ever!!! I recommend you guys to go to their concert. Its really exciting! I'm not going to put pics in here, cause it kind came out well, if you know what you're looking at. Howie in the driver's seat didn't come out, but you can see A.J. I wish I could put the pics in, but it won't be clear enough. :)

where: New York City
when: USA Thanksgiving weekend, 1997

I went to New York City to visit my aunt for the weekend. I chose this weekend because I knew that Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade would be on, and I wanted to see the Backstreet Boys. My aunt works at a bank (i forget what it's called) but it has alot of security, and alot of famous people do their banking there, because most other people can't afford to bank there. Well, I was waiting downstairs in the lobby while my aunt was upstairs in her office finishing off some paper work. I was just sitting there, in one of those big comfy maroon chairs, when all of a sudden the Backstreet Boys walked in!! I was so surprised because I swear my jaw reached the floor! I practically flew to them and said, "Hey! You guys are BSB!!!!" And they were like, "Yeah, that's us!" I had to take a deep breath because I thought I was dreaming.... I shook hands with all of them and they asked me where I was from. I talked to them for about ten minutes, then they had to leave. The next day, when I was watching Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, they were on a float, and I waved to them and yelled, "Hi!!!" They recognized me, cause they were like, "Oh yeah! Hey!!" It was the best day in my life. I just regret not getting their autographs! I was in such shock that the ten minutes just flew by!

where: PEPSI POP '97
when: October 15th

At October the 15th, I went to Pepsi pop, aspecialy, to see the BSB ofcourse, But Aaron was there too. It was great. I was like 10 metres of the stage, so couls see everything. Here is my review: The BSB was the last act, so we had to waite, like 3 hours, but then they came!!!! The came on stage with the dance-intro, that they're normaly doing. Nick came out in a white shirt and trousers, AJ in bleu, Kev in black, Brain in yellow and Howie in red. first they sang That's The way I Like It, that was a surprise, because I thought that they would only do songs that everybody knew. But it was very very cool. The dancemoves were very cool, but it is to much to write the hole dance. As second song they did a a capella song, that I had never heard before, it was called "So's to our love", or something like that. It was a beautiful song, and every one sang a part, so the proved for another time that the can really sing. During that they were singing, AJ and Nick were like playing with each other, it was really swaet. I wish I could have heard what they were saying to each other, cuz it seems to be very funny. Howie sang a very high part, I was like: WHAT!!! That is really really high!!!! I didn't know he could sing so high! Third song was Quit Playing Games. First they did a part a capella again, then they were doing it with music. When they were singing, first Brain jumped down to the crowd, I wish I stood there!!!! After he jumped on stage again, Nick jumped down. He was walking aroung there, and touching the girls that were standing there, I was screaming!!!!!!! After they sang Quit Plaing Games, they did As Long As You Love Me. Nick was doing really swaet. He taked a seat on the stage, and was looking very swaet, and he sat there like a few minutes. He was just singing, and then he let us sing. I could hear it very good, it was great to hear the hole crowd singeng. And the BSB let us sing for a while, and then they sang along with us. It was great!!! When the ended As Long As You Love me, they said goodbye, but after a few minutes they came back, this time not on the normal stage, but on a stage that was like 2,5 metres above the normal stage. They started Everybody. But when Brain had to sing, his mic was out of order!!!!! so it was quit!!!!! Then Nick sang his part, and he said to Brain that he could use his mic, so they shared Nick's mic!! It was really cute to see!!! Then they went down, to the normal stage, everyone was taking the stairs, but Nick JUMPED!!!!!! I saw it, and was surprised!!! Really cute!!! After Everybody, they really did go, so that was the end!!!!!!

where: Corel Center, Ottawa, Canada
when: January 2, 1998

It was 1:00 that day, and I didn't have a ticket. I was really bummed, cause I really wanted to go and see the Backstreet Boys, who wouldn't??? So I was kinda depressed all day, until I got an instant message from my friend on the net, Caroline. She already had tickets, but she saw on the tv that ticketmaster was selling 200 tickets that day, starting at 2:00. Naturally, I freaked out! Within seconds I was on the phone with ticketmaster, finding out more info. I found out where to go and get the tickets, so me and my mom went. We were there at 1:15, so we had to wait for 45 minutes, but of course it was worth it! I was the first person in line, and I got the tickets! So I went over to my friends house to pick her up so we could got to the concert. We left at about 6:30, and go there at 7:00, one hour early. Neither of us bought anything because the lines were about a mile long EACH! Sooo...we found our seats, and waited. By the time 8:00 came we were really releived that the waiting was over, but, we were wrong! They had an opening act, it was some gal named M.J., who I had never heard of. So everyone there humoured her and pretended like we were enjoying her singing, when actually we were just anticipating what was next! She sang for about 30 minutes, and then left. Me and my friend Kassandra were really excited, and so was the rest of the people there, cause everyone started chanting "Backstreeet Boys! Backstreet Boys!" They didn't come out for another 20 minutes, it was torture! Finally they came out, and started singing "That's the Way I Like It", from their second album. Next they sang "All I Have to Give". Then they sang "Hey Mr. DJ". After that they left for a while, and Howie came out with a bunch of roses, and sang a solo song from their next album, which is not yet out. Then A.J. came out and sang a solo, I can't remember what it was, but he was really good, of course! Next it was Kevin, and he sang something, but I didn't catch the name of it. He too was awesome! Next was Brian, he sang the song he wrote off of their second album, "That's What She Said". He played the guitar while he sang, and it was sooo beautiful! Finally Nick came out and sang something, there was so much screaming, I couldn't even hear him singing! Then all the rest of the guys came out and joined Nick in singing "Let's Have a Party". After that they sang "Quit Playing Games", and they all played instruments to it. Nick was on the drums, Kevin on the keyboards, A.J. and Howie both played bass guitars, and Brian played the little bongo drum thingies. It was sooo cool! After that they sang " Anywhere For You", "As Long As You Love Me", and "Get Down". They dedicated "Anywhere For You" to the audiance. They did that little chair thing during "As Long As You Love Me", and as always, it looked soo good! By the time they sang "Get Down", the whole Corel Center was up and dancin, it rocked! The finished with singing "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)", and they really went all out for the last song. First they showed clips from the music video, to get everyone excited, and it worked! They came out in caskets that slid across the stage, and then they jumped out of them. Fire was comin out of parts of the stage, it was perfect! At the end Nick kissed.....no, not a girl, don't worry...the camera, it was cute! Since I had gotten seats last minute, they weren't that great, but they were definatley good enough. The cool thing was that I could see the back of the stage, so I saw them leaving. Not many people saw, but as they were leavin Nick tripped, and looked kind of embarrassed, but don't worry, he wasn't hurt. As I was leaving the Corel Center, I tried to see if I could find the Backstreet Boys to get an autograph, but they weren't signing any that night, probably cause they had already signed some that day at the press conference they were at. It took me 15 minutes just to get out of the place, it was so jam-packed with people. My ears were ringing for the rest of the night, and my throat was sore from all my screaming! But in the end, it was a pretty damn good way to start off the new year! If anyone knows when the Boys are comin back to Ottawa, tell me as soon as you find out!!!!!!!(this time I wanna get really good seats, close enough to get one of Howies roses!) :o)

AAAGGGGGGHHH!!!!!! THE CONCERT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!!! Woah!! K, let me start from the beginig. Aaron was the first opening act and then She Moves was second. During their last song this big guy walked out and was trying to hide someone who looked either really sort or was a kid. They stoped right in front of us and sat down and the kid was Aaron!!! AARON CARTER AND HIS PARENTS WERE SITING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!!!! When everyone figured out who it was they all swarmed! Then his dad got them to calm down and let him rest for a while. I ran up 8 rows to where Katie was and told her she had to come down and see. So she sat in my seat with me for 15 minutes and we just stared at him!! We were to shy to ask for an autograph or ask if we could shake his hand but we yelled Aaron and he looked at us and said hi!!!!! Then BJ brought him a pretzle and he sa there eating for a while then right before the Boys came out she came back and brought him to where her and her friends were sitting, so I didn't get to see him during the concert. But t was soo cool!!! He was sitting close enough to where I could touch him!!! The concert was the most amazing I have ever seen!!!! I was in total and complete awe the whole time!!!! Brian and Nick looked in my direction but not right at me. Brian looked directly at Katie TWICE though!!! It was awesome!!! And I got a 1998 tour shirt that has a really cool picture of them on the front and on the back it says BSB tour 1998 and it's signed. But I didn't get to meet them. The autograph was printed onto the shirt. Woah!!! It was....just....WOW!!!! OK, I'm freaking out, I better go!! Bye

Oasis was gonna be at saturday night live oct 4, and my friend amanda LOVES oasis so us two, with 2 more girls, we went to the NBC studio at 7 in the morning, to get standby tickets, not guarantee a seat, but to try for one. While we were lining up, on theother side of the street corner, the NBC crew were filming something, and amanda went over to check it out. SHe ran back screaming to me, yelling BACKSTREET BOYS!!!!!

I was there late, so i was standing at the back. i stood against the glass wall of the studio. when the boys finished performing, they went into the studio, where i got full view of them. One of the guys, (the one i love the most) he stood there drinking a bottle of water..i pounded on the glass, and he looked at me. i signaled to him *can i have your bottle* and he signaled. *my b! ottle?* i nodded vigorously, and he just gave me that...*sigh..girls* look. then, a few minuites later, he walked up to the glass IN FRONT OF ME, told me to listen, so i turned my ear to him, and he said something, but i didnt hear (tho i saw his cloud of breath on the glass)..he said "YOU DIDNT HEAR ME?!" in that *gasp* tone...then he smiled, walked away. later, he signaled to me, saying "if we leave thru the front, i'll give you the bottle..if we leave thru the back, sorry." and he had a sincere sorry look. i said *aww..* with a sad look. later, the agents and crew were leaving thru the back and i looked sad, so he signaled me to the front door, and there he came to the front door, but he couldnt come out (for safety reasons) so he told a guy working there 8do me a favor* the guy said *sure* brian said "give this bottle to the girl out there, the one waving at me, the one with tha nautica jacket" and the guy said alright..he came out, handed me a bottle, with all these girl! s screaming at me..i yelled i LOVE YA BRIAN!! so brian smiled and left.

I went to a concert in LA just a few days ago. My friend and I waited for the gates to open for 9 hours. While waiting for the show to start, we met AJ's mom, Denise McLean, and talked to Nick's dad, Bob Carter. The show was really awesome. My friends got a rose from Howie when he was throwing them out to the audience. I gave a teddy bear with a necklace and green friendship bracelet tied on to it along with my name, address, phone number and e-mail address, to Nick and he held on to it until he next wardrobe change, which happened to be after the song they were singing. Since I was wearing a Tampa Bay Buccaneers jersey #56 that he had given me a year ago, he looked at me a lot. After the concert, my friend and I decided to go to their hotel and see if we could talk to them there. After waiting a for about an hour and a half, they showed up and we talked to them in the lobby. They are all really nice and (much to my surprise) they remembered when they met us a year ago. So it was really cool. Nick and I are friends now and my friend is now AJ's friend. So the saying "Good things happen to those who wait" is soooo true.

where: Royal Oak Music Theatre, Detroit
when: September 28th 1997

On September 28 I went to go see the Backstreet Boys at the Royal Oak music Theatre in Detroit. There was no reserved seating so we had to wake up bright and early. When I arrived at the Theatre there was about 10-15 people in line. I was so happy. So I took a place in line and sat and read every magazine with the Backstreet Boys in it. When we waited in line we saw a big bus go by so I decided to follow it. The BSB's were not on it but the band was and there managers were. I talked to them for a while they were really nice. I asked them when the Backstreet Boys are coming and they said really soon. Finally they let us go in the Theatre. It was really cold when I got in but when the Theatre was full it got pretty hot!! The concert was sold out so that meant there was 1500 people there. The opening act was Le Click and DJ Company. They were great. But then the audience got all excited and then the Backstreet Boys came on they were all wearing Tommy Hill outfits they looked sooo good. When they came out they sang a remix of "if your happy and you know it" Then they sang "thats the way I like it". Soon enough it came to a slow song they did a few slow songs and then they quickly changed. They picked a few girls from the audience to come up while they sang " I'll never break Yor Heart" Through the whole song no girl in the audience said anything we were all so jealous. I think the girls were planted there. When they changed for the last time they came out iin Red Wings Jerseys. They crowd went wild. They saing "Get Down" and a whole bunch of other songs. Then they sang "We've got it going on" A.J. came out really quick and by mistake knocked the drums over. But he and the other guys picked it up and it was all good. Quit Playin' Games was there closing song. They did a wonderful job... The concert was 2 1/2 hours. If anyone know when the backstreet boys are coming back to Detroit please e-mail me.

I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE BSB CONCERT!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS THE AWSOMEST CONCERT IN THE UNIVESE AJ was humping the floor and everything, Kevin went around touching peoples hands, Brian was just so damn SEXY, Howie threw Roses to us, and Nick was just so cute oh ya don't forget Aaron carter he was so cute too. I bought a Brian poster for $15, a BSB T-shirt for $35, a BSB book for $20, and BRIAN looked so Damn sexy in the poster!!! Aaron Carter sang, Shake it, crazy little party girls and Crush On you! He was cool! I WAS SCREAMING EVERY MINUTE,I can't even talk cause My voice is gone! cause I was SCREAMING so LOUD!!!! I couldn't even hear myself or even anyone else when I came out of GM place, cause of all the screaming me and the rest of the fans made! AJ has a new hair style. It's browny, kind of red (like orange) it's awsome. Nick of courese you probably already know this Cute his Hair. Howie has side burns going down to his small beard. Kevin is the same, and Brian is most likeyly the same cause he was wearing a hat most of the time so I couldn't see his hair :( IT WAS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!! They sang, Thats the way I like it, as long as you love me, quit playing games, lay down beside me, lets have a party, all i have to give, and some songs from other people like songs they sang before they became HUGE!!!! They all had their own single perfomances, First Howie, thats when he threw out the Roses and he sang a song from a diff person, I don't know what it's called. Then AJ came out and sang Lay down Beside me, that was awsome, then Kevin came out and sang another brillant song. Then BRIAN!!!!!!!! CAME OUT AND SANG THATS WHAT SHE SAID, I WAS CRYING SO HARD. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. Then Nick cam out and sang another song from a diff person. On the way Out I got corn pops! and a free concert photo service of the BSB advertisment and When I got outside I saw THEIR LIMO!!!!!!!!!!!!! after the Concert they were going to go to a cheers party and whoever put on the most Z stickers (a local radio station) got to go to the party, but you had to be 19 or older :( so I couldn't get in. They were wearing Black and white shirts, at diff times, and red pants w/ a red button up shirt over it. AJ and Howie of course weren't weraing a white or black shirt. I took a few pictures and will have them developed soon!!!! THE CONCERT WAS AWSOME!!!!!! During one song Brian was wearing one of those hats w/ the twirl thing on top and looked so cute. They said they loved us and looked forward to seeing us next time!!! The CONCERT WAS AWSOME!!!! Well I'm not sure what else to say, if you want to know anything else about the AWSOME CONCERT just give me an e-mail asking me some questons!!!!
