On Monday I attended my 4th and final concert of the Black & Blue tour. I'm not feeling the withdrawal yet, but gimme time. I won't review all the songs and stuff, cause by now, you all know the show by heart. I'll just give you my favorite highlights and the reason for the name of my review.

I didn't go for the opening acts. When I got there, Sisqo was on his 2nd last song so I killed time outside until he finished. I was sitting in section 102, three rows up from the stage on Nick's side (just like I planned it) and had a PERFECT view of Mr. Carter and the almighty Thor. *smirk*

Color me surprised when BSB actually took the stage at 8:35. I expected nothing sooner than 9:00. lol. Nick was CRAZY & HYPER! The interaction between him and AJ is so touching and you can tell that he's so happy to have AJ back.

Brian in a bandana *slurp* I refer to him as BB when he's looking like that = hot as hell! That man does things to my innards when he wears a bandana. Ok, I have a bandana fetish so any BSB in one gives me heart palpitations, but Nick and Brian take the cake with Kevin in close third place. So I was pantin' over BB -- until my green eyes feasted themselves on Nickster and never left for the rest of the show -- unless he was out of my range of vision. Wait, I have a sense of deja vu here. I remember saying the same thing in my last review. Well, you guys should know by now that I am a total Nick girl so I shouldn't have to explain myself. lol

AJ without facial hair, *normal* brown hair and no glasses. WOW! He lookes so different and his eyes are just beautiful. He looked tanned, also. He looked teary-eyed when he addressed the crowd and everyone was on their feet applauding his 75 days of sobriety! GO AJ!

Kev had the cornrows. Howie straightened his hair -- I don't think it suits him short and straight, but that's my opinion. Nicky looked GORGEOUS. I will admit that I love the earrings. The diamonds could be a tad smaller, but they do something for him. He's just so damn sexy, it's scary. I think something was wrong with Nick's mic when he came out to introduce himself cause he sounded like a chipmunk on speed.

During IWITW, Nick started laughing at Howie's dancing (the infamous Salsa moves). Nick goes over to AJ and points to Howie and they both stand there and giggle at Howie. Howie makes a face at them and keeps dancing. Nick runs and pretends he's gonna ram into Howie, but he stops right in front of him and starts to Salsa, but he's doing it really fast, sticking his butt out and all.

During QPG, AJ was trying to pull Howie off his box and he's pulling his pant leg. Howie almost went flying off the box.

I think it was during DWYB that Nick went down on the camera. HOLY CARTER CRAPPER DOODLES. Is he trying to kill me???? Maybe he should go down on me. I would definitely live for that! :-)

During the change clothes spiel (I think) the camera guy on stage is following AJ and AJ's trying to run away and he's yelling "Stop following me!" Then he goes to the other side of the stage and the turns around and there's the camera guy again and AJ says something like, "I'm being stalked!" LMAO! It was too funny. Nick goes into the truck and his belt comes flying out and practically bops Howie in the head, then his shirt comes out and lands on or pretty close to Kevin. Kevin just shook his head. Brian comes running out of the trunk to get AJ. He chased AJ. It was too cute. Brian was wearing his pants for the next set and a white wifebeater. Veeery nice. Once the other four were gone, Kev sits on the trunk and you can see that someone underneath is trying to open it while he's sitting on it so he gets up, opens it and says something to whoever is down there sits back down. Then he says "They're trying to get me to ..." (I never figured out what he said).

During the band intro and GAB, Nick was just INSANE! That man needs to share some of that energy with me cause I sure as hell don't have any. At some point, he threw himself down on the left side riser and Thor was definitely in the house! OH YEA BABAY! :)

Shining Star ... booty shaking ... it wasn't his usual side to side shake, but almost like a booty dance ... in and out kinda thrust. Three times! OMFG! I wet myself. Hehehe. I don't think AJ shook his, but I wasn't paying attention to him. All I can say is Nick has AN ASS!!! I know you all know that, but it seems to have grown or expanded. Mama like. *smirk*

At one point AJ picked up a Twinkie from the stage, unwrapped it and threw it into the audience. The look on his face was priceless. He probably got a good chuckle out of watching the mad rush on the floor for that Twinkie. You know someone's got it in a baggie now and it'll eventually wind up on Ebay for $1000.00. lmao!

SMTM tribute to Daniel Lee had me in tears. Very moving. Drowning ... simply beautiful. Nick forgot to sing at one point suring the chorus though. He kinda looked at the others like "Oops."

Now AFTER the show, I got out of there right away and I was wandering on the street looking for the damn subway and I see tour buses and cops. I figured they were the crew buses. WRONG. One bus pulls out, but I didn't see anyone. I was walking towards a policeman to get directions and another bus pulls out practically two feet from me (I was in the street). These four hysterical teenies behind me start to scream "It's Brian!" Sure enough he was in the dooorway. I just stared and then I figured what the hell and I waved. Stop the presses ... he waved back and grinned at me. One teenie SCREAMED into my ear (I have no more wax at least cause she blew it clean out) "OMG he blew you a kiss!" She looked half pissed that it wasn't her and half thrilled for me. lol ... I couldn't tell if he did, but I saw his hand move. LMAO! Brother Brian lives! :) See he does exist after concerts. Someone was in the back of his bus and he waved also but I have no idea who it was. Whoever it was wore what looked like a fisherman's hat. Another bus went by and someone was waving so I waved back. Think it was Kev. Last bus everyhting was closed and didn't see anyone.

Great show... great Brian moment, great memories for this 2001 B&B tour. Alas ... my Black and Blue tour days are now officially over. *sniff* Let the withdrawal begin.
