12:30am – I’m a sweaty mess, my stomach hurts from screaming, & I’m pretty sure I have no voice. Am I bothered by this? No way, because I just had the BEST NIGHT EVER!!
NKOTB
The NKOTBSB tour was incredible. And so were our seats. I knew we had really good seats in the third floor section from the stage. What I did not know was that the floor was small. And the protruding stage that went through our section would be where 75% of the show took place. So much so that our chairs were arranged to face this part of the stage, instead of the main stage at the front of the section. Sooo therefore we were in the 6TH ROW FROM THE STAGE. Got that? Just in case you missed it, WE WERE IN THE 6TH ROW FROM THE STAGE!! Yep, we were so close we could see pants pockets, tattoos, microphones in the back pocket… you name it. And somehow I was able to restrain myself enough to not end up in jail.
A few highlights from the Pittsburgh stop of the NKOTBSB Tour:
1.) Donnie Walhberg does a flying leap into MY SECTION!! Before long all that stands between me and the man himself is 4 dumb broads!!
OH-MY-GOSH!!
2.) After the flying leap into my section, Donnie climbs up the wall of the section behind me, and steals a long drink from a fan’s beer. O-M-G. If I was that girl,I would’ve poured the leftover all over me so I could bathe in Donnie’s backwash, then would refuse to shower for days.
3.) During the BSB song “Everybody” Nick Carter sings the line ‘Am I sexual?’, hip thrusts, then shoves hand down pants.
4.) BSB Brian chooses an older woman from the crowd to serenade. How cute is that?! Then waits to help her off the stage at the end before he resumes singing. Aww!
5.) Donnie rips his shirt off while on the catwalk in front of me, then parades up and down the stage shirtless. True beauty.
6.) Danny Wood’s raging muscles.
7.) The general beauty of the fact that Donnie’s general stage position was right in front of my seat for most of the night.
8.) Lots and lots of sparkles worn by all 9 NKOTBSB tour members.
9.) Joey McIntyre singing “Please Don’t Go Girl” and sounding every bit as good as he did in 1989.
10.) Jordan Knight and his amazing ability to hit high notes. Simply amazing voice.
The absolute best part about the show was the energy from the guys. They rocked that stage for 2.5 hours! The show was perfectly arranged so that NKOTB performed a few songs, then BSB and so on. Absolutely not some weird mixture of the two groups singing snippets of each other’s songs like I feared it would be. And the guys all seemed so genuinely happy to be there, which was really awesome to see. They really looked like they were having a great time up there. Oh and the interaction with the crowd. Amazing! I’ve never seen a show where band members jump in the crowd, run through the crowd and get as close with the fans as these guys did tonight. Great job NKOTBSB!
Drinkin' on the job.
