If you want to know ALL teh details about the stage (where each BSB spents more time, where they "land", etc...) click here

The lights started to turn off, the scream of the 20000 persons that were there was AWESOME. First in the stage appeared the BSB's Band dressed in white outfits, then the dancers dressed in orange and taking with them some kind of lights-torchs, when all of them have put their own light in the stage the famous BSB countdown started.
....3,2,1,0 and after a while we started to hear the starwars music and while from one side of the stage were a lot of smoke, fireworks... in just seconds we could see five shadows, guess who? yeah! Our BOYS!. They came to the stage in some kind of surfboards, while they were "fliying" they didn't make any move. It was INCREDIBLE, and the screams were SO LOUD!

After "landed" the dancers and them starting to walk around the stage stoping in each side of it, while they did this they were all completly static, without move any inch, just Nick couldn't just stay there without smiling (how sweet can be this guy?!). When they finish their "tour" around the stage Kev said: "San Sebastian, Are you ready to party?". Then the show started with 3 powerfull songs: Larger Than Life, Get Down and The One.
For these 3 songs they were dressed with dark-blue trousers, light-blue sweaters and some kind of blue vests (they were dressed perfect to me 'cos I LOVE blue :) And in the 5 concerts I went Nick wore a cute ponytail in his hair!

Then all of them talk with us a bit, in all the concerts they said almost the same, now I'll tell you what they said in Barcelona on 14th. The first who talk was Nick:
"Hello Barcelona...wait a minute, wait a minute, I said Barcelona. I know you are there. I like to welcome all of you, and all of you watching tonight, to the Backstreet's into the Millennium Tour. My name's Nick Carter. I just got a couple of things to say you. First all I'm sure you're wondering why we've been away for so long. Well I'm here to answer this question. First all we have to record a brand new album called Millenium. Did you enjoy the Millennium? Yes? Si??. And of course after any album comes a brand new tour. Backstreet's Back, alright? I said all I can say for right now. And I want let you say hello to the other fellas. But I have one more thing to say. I don't know very much Spanish, but I know one thing: Te Amo. We missed you. We love you. Thank you for coming. Enjoy"
Then AJ:
"¿que pasa Barcelona?. Hi, How are you?. I'm glad to be in Barcelona. You guys look so beautiful tonight. Perfect. I want you guys to enjoy the rest of the show. Have fun, scream your heads off, make lot of noise, throw your hands up. Have a great time. Enjoy the rest of the show ok? My name's AJ. Te amo. I love you. Peace. See ya"
Then was Howie's turn, (in San Sebastian and Zaragoza he said almost every thing in Spanish:):
"Hola España! Mi nombre es Howie D. And I just wanna say I'm so happy to be with each and everyone of you in Barcelona. I also wanna say muchas gracias for the bottom of my heart to each and everyone of you for making our first single of our Millennium album, I want It That Way numero uno aqui. I hope you enjoy the show tonight. Tonight es una fiesta para ustedes"
The next who talked was Brian:
"Hola ¿como estas todo el mundo? muy bien? I just have a small little thing to share with you. It's because of you watching on tv, if you're watching of tv. Or here, right with us tonight in Barcelona. You make us: the backstreet boys. So thank you. Muchas gracias to you. Also wanna say god bless you. Thank you for coming. Enjoy the show"
And the last but no least was Kev:
"Buenas noches Barcelona. It's good to be here with you tonight and I wanna thank you again for all your love and for make us feel so welcome when we come to Spain. Thank you. God bless you."

After that they sang As Long As You Love Me, they all were dressed with the trousers and the sweaters of the begining, but they put off their blue vests and put on coats to their knees (I love these outfits).
At the end of the song they did the "chair dance" along with their dancers, who when the Boys left the stage for change their outfits again, were doing a GREAT dance with the chairs. I really liked it.

Then they appeared in the middle of the stage with black outfits. AJ also was with a black cow boy hat. When they appeared Nick was standing up and starting to sing Don't Wanna Lose You Now while the others stayed squatting 'till the chorus started. In this song Nick's voice sounds incredibly PERFECT.
Then they started with Quit Playin' Games. After AJ's part all of them go to one corner of the stage and after tied theirselves with cables and take their jackets off they were lifted in the air, and flew above the audience. In the five concerts I was in the floor, but in the first one I saw AJ fly at my right and Nick at my left, in the others I saw Kev at my left and Nick at my right.
Kev, AJ and Howie were doing somersaults all the time. Nick and Brian were quieter, above all Nick. He just swinging himself. In Barcelona (14th) he threw roses. Then they came back to the stage to finish the song.

After a while the dancers and they appeared in the stage with the same outfits with a red best (seemed to the blue of the beggining), it was time to Don't Want You Back! For this song in each corner of the stage there is a fence for each BSB. In all the concerts (except one) I was exactly in front of Nick's fence. And I have to say the way he moves his body in that song it's REALLY WILD and SEXY! (Above all in Zaragoza, I thought I was going to die :)
After finish the song they take off their vests and Kev says "I need 5 mothers and daughters from the audience". They are choosed for so long (I think) 'cos after Kev said that, they were already in the stage. And I think be there is not LUCK (I mean that they are not there for a coincidence, they pulled some strings) Maybe one of you reading this have been one of these "lucky" girls, and maybe I'm wrong, if I am and you could tell me the thruth of how you had the chance to be there e-mail me and tell me please. Thanks.

After this song a piano was lifted down to the middle of the stage and Kev played a song (the one who he played in the Unplugged, and also the one that he played last year in Zaragoza's hotel) While Kev played the piano, Mindy played the saxo. It was so beatiful.
When he finished, the rest of the boys appear on the stage and while Kev plays the piano they sing Back To Your Heart. They all (except Kev who is in the piano) are sitting togheter in one side of the stage.

They change their outfits again, and after a while in the middle of the stage appear a some kind of cable-maze, and all the dancers climbed on it. They all dressed in white danced the Extended of Everybody, and then the boys came to the stage and started to sing Everybody, they were all dressed in white too. They sang a medley of: Everybody, We've Got It Goin' On and That's The Way I Like It. The coreography to the last one is BRILLIANT. I LOVE IT. They did what the song says, I can't explain you... You have to see it for understand me. In this song Nick make a lot of crazy things, he throws himself on the floor, he doesn't stop to move his body... I just LOVE this song.

Then they change their white outfits for a pink ones, first they were without their coats (also pink). And they sang Spanish Eyes, I'll Never Break Your Heart, half in Spanish and half in English. After this song the plataform in were they were started to turn around, and they sang No One Else Comes Close. They dissapeared for a while and came back still with their pink outfits, and sing All I Have To Give with their dancers (they were dressed in grey). At the end of the song they did the "hat dance".

The next song was Show Me The Meaning, wich they dedicate to Denniz Pop. After Howie's part each BSB dance with one dancer: Nick-Nicky :) AJ-Teresa, Kev-Kristin, Brian-Nefertiti and Howie-Amy. In all the concerts I was in front of Nick in this song, and I LOVE the way he dances with Nicky. The way he look at her, the feeling he puts in every move he does and every word he sing, the way in where he take off his jacket and his tie...EVERYTHING! I LOVE this part of the concert!
They end the song in the plataform, and it goes down.

After a while they come back dressed in their own way. In all the concerts they were dressed in the same way: Nick with a vest (so I could see his shark tattoo again, and also a bit of the other one he has in his back) and black trousers, AJ wore green trousers and a white vest, Kev was dressed in black with a vest, Brian wore beige trousers and a black t-shirt, and Howie was dressed in beige.
Nick's vest was in all the concerts (except one) grey with a red line, and in all of the concerts he was wearing a headscarf.
They sang It's Gotta Be You, and as soon as the song starts with the UUuu UUuu part, they stopped singed and while EVRYBODY were singing UUuu UUuu. Each BSB introduce 2 dancers (girl and boy) and each pair after they were introduced danced a bit.

I like the dancers, they make the show even better, and besides they are ALL great and so nice persons. In all the concerts when the female-dancers appear on stage, I heard comments, and wich is worse insults to them or even to Mindy. They said things like bitch and stuff like that...
Maybe you have done this (hope you don't). I think the people who do that have no respect for them. Why you/they do it? If you can tell me, 'cos I CAN'T understand you. I have talked with the dancers and they are SO nice and pleasant persons. And when I heard in a concert girls insulting them, I felt bad. Imagine that one of the dancers is your friend or that you are one of them, why would you feel listening that some people are insulting you in that way?. Just think about it.

Well, I begin after introduce all the dancers (I LOVE the way Nick says Teresa :) They introduce the Band. I LOVE this introductions part of the concert. All of them are making CRAZY things all the time above all Nick. He's DA BOMB! After introduce everybody they go to the middle again and finish the song. Then confetti started to fell above us while they (dancers and bsb) say goodbye from each side of the stage. But it's NOT the end of the concert.
The last song of the concert is I Want It That Way, it's amazing how loud we sang this song in all the concerts. Then they go to the plataform in the middle and it goes up where they finish the song, and after a while it starts to go down while they say goodbye. After they leave, the show ended with huge fireworks! I love that, the only thing that it's the end of the concert.

Well then the concert was over :( and I remember all the details from the 5 concerts. Last year after the concert I didn't remember almost nothing, I just have images that I saw that night through my head but I couldn't remember nothing with clarity. For me last year was a dream no a reality... But this year when I saw them in the first concert in these surfboards was different. It wasn't a dream anymore it was a PURE reality and that's the way I like it :)
