Kate's Story: The Backstreet Boys Concert
~Thursday, September 3, 1998~
- Providence Civic Center - Providence, Rhode Island, USA -

All week I had been going crazy cause I didn't have tickets to the hottest show ever! Constantly calling everywhere begging for tickets, I even called my fav radio station 92pro fm to ask if I could have some of there tickets, of course they wouldn't let me. Unfortunitly it was September 3rd and I didn't have any tickets, I thought I was out of luck, YEAH RIGHT!
Well it was around 3:30 when my mother said she would bring me to go to the box office to try to get tickets cause they said they were selling more tix! I was asking all of my friends if they would go, no one could. Then at around 5:00 my Mom said it wouldn't be worth going, if we did, we would have terrible seats, and it would be really late.
After a while of convincing her to bring me, she said "What the heck, let's go!" I was so happy, I hurried and put on some of my BSB merchandice and we left.
We were almost there and it was about 7:45, and the box office closed at 8:00!! We were finally next to the building, we parked and ran inside, the guy was still sitting in the box office, we walked over and got our tickets. We thought for sure our seats would be horrible, well it was the exact oppisite!!!

We finally found our seats as Aaron Carter was leaving the stage, we had seats on the side balcony, stage level, 5 rows back, these were better than seats 5 rows back on the floor!!!
I was so happy, then I remembered from the last concert that Kevin went out into the audience, and then I realised it was in my section!! I could have died! Even before it started!
After 15 minuets of waiting, pacing around, and trying to find roses or something to give to the boys, the lights went out. The screaming was absolutly insane, but of course, I screamed unbarrebly loud. The first song was "Thats The Way I like It" (one of my fav songs) It was awsome, they were right infront of me, and I made eye contact with them. Next they did a few other songs that weren't their's "Too Close" and a awsome puff daddy song, then "Hey Mr. DJ" came on, it was sooooooo cool. The next song was so great, "Just to be close to you" I almost cried.

I know it's early but this is where my memory is faded, after Nick's solo "Heaven In Your Eyes" (which was awsome) They did "Let's Have A Party" And I can remember soooooo well when Brian(my favorite Backstreet Boy) walked over to the edge of the stage on my side, looked straight at me, smilied, and waved!!!!!!!!!! I felt me knee's weaken, and I almost fell!! If you think that was cool wait till I'm finished with the story! My memory fades again, then I remember "All I Have To Give", they all came out in white suits, and they did the best job, and I can remember Brian walking over and pointing at me!!! Once again, I almost fell over!

Then they did "Anywhere for you" and Kevin came over to my section and shook hands with alot of girls, unfortunitly I didn't get to cause are hands wouldn't touch, but during a certain sweet part of the song, he look right at me and sang, my heart melted. I smiled, and screamed, then as crazy as I am, I leaned over the bars until I almost fell trying to grab his hand, so close but he got down and went back onstage.

After that they did "Get Down" which rocked the house, suprisingly Brian came over and you can guess, he waved! What a sweetie, it's like he knew he was my favorite! And he just loved watching me freak out when he smilied! Next was "Everybody" which was the so awsome, the were in the costumes from the music video (not the monsters).
Unfortunitly the show was over, but it was easily the best night of my life!
