On Sunday, August 26, 2001, I attended the Backstreet Boys' Black and Blue concert in Earth City Missouri. The opening acts Krystal and Sisqo were BOTH amazing. I actually got to meet Krystal and got an autograph (Pictures to be up on my site later this week).

The Boys opened up with everyone and then Brian came out and said some kind words for the singer/actress Aaliyah who died tragically just one day prior. Amongst all the sadness each boy was excited and enthusiastic to be back on stage. AJ who never once sported his trademark of sunglasses, looked fabulous.

The Backstreet Boys, who have been together 8 and a half years, proved they can still rock the city of St. Louis. The show was just the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Definitely the BSB's best works thusfar. Playing with the audience more as the show went on, the night was filled with laughter and dancing and of course screaming and singing. As all good things do, the night had to come to an end. Each boy said their good-bye and the last song they did was Shape of my Heart, a great song to end an amazing night.
