October 31st in Denver, Colorado
The concert was 5000 times better than last years! Last years was good, but
this one was... WAY BETTER! At my concert, I felt sorry for Kevin, though,
since he hurt his arm and had to wear a sling during the show. He kept
apologizing to us for not being able to danc emuch and stuff. Anywayz, this
concert was so great, especially how it's set up!
It was so cool!!!! At the very beginning, they flew out of box on spaceboards
and on to the stage. They gave their speeches individually and AJ told us to
scream for the entirity of the show (Which we did). When Kevin came to give his
speech, his arm was in a sling because on October 30th, he was snowboarding in
CO and dislocated his shoulder. He couldn't fly on the space boards or go out
into the audience. They started "Larger Than Life", which was amazing. They
played almost every song from Millennium and tons from the first album. When
they played "The Perfect Fan", each Boy brought a mother-daughter pair. They
took the daughters around the stage holding their hands. It was very sweet.
Howie dedicated "Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely" to Denniz PoP, one of
their first producers and people who wrote some of their songs. Since the show
I went to was on Halloween, when they played "It's Gotta Be You", they were all
dressed up in their Halloween costumes. Nick w!
as an 85 year old man, AJ had on a werewolf hat that didn't cover his face, one
of the dancers was a Hula dancer, another was Mary Katherine Gallager (from
Saturday Night Live), and Brian was also an 85 year old man. I couldn't really
see what Kevin and Howie were but I'm sure they had on costumes to. They
introduced the whole band. They played a few more songs and then they played "I
Want It That Way". I don't think AJ wanted to stop singing it because he held
the last note for a REALLY long time. They paused for a little bit and the
crowd screamed. Then they said what a great crowd we were and AJ told us that
he was going to come trick-or-treating to each and every one of our houses (he
didn't). Then they started the chorus of "I Want It That Way" again and AJ
jumped off the stage to sing to the people on the first level. When the song
ended, AJ went through the gates and ran really fast through the crowd
backstage. It was very cool and the next time they come back !
to CO I will definately go. If you have tickets, you are very lucky. For those
of you that don't have tickets, try to get 'em next year.
