The concert itself was fantastic. The show was completely different that what we saw in Erie in the Spring. The set, the clothes, the order. Everything.
Even better was the fact that Donnie spent most of the concert right in front of me! And I was able to get a million A-MA-ZING photos with my soberingly steady hand.
I'll never forget what Donnie said at the first break in singing when hewas talking to the crowd: "So THIS is what its like to win the Super Bowl and the Stanley Cup in the same year!" So, I decided that would be the perfect time to throw the "LETS GO PENS!" towel onto the stage.
Yep, it hit his foot and he held it up for the audience. God I love that man!
I've honestly never seen 5 men of their age with such energy and having so much fun! They were like little kids running around and just having fun. They were happy and it was real.
I was a happy girl when Donnie came out "poppin champagne" and then sang CoverGirl (to me). Jordan was not half naked but still impressively attractive and the Jabbas were sporting Mr Rogers sweaters so of course I loved that. And I always love any excuse for people to wear spandex and flurescent colors like Joey, his solos rocked. Danny can still breakdance but Jon was the one who was FULL of surprises.
We really must have made an impression on them too because in Step by Step, Jon Knight surprised his band mates and all the fans in attendance by singing STEP 5!
That moment may have been my favorite moment of the night (until we get to Sexify my Grits)! All 5 of the guys were spread across the stage and immediately Joe, Donnie and Danny rushed Jon. I was pretty sure that after Joe jumped on him Jon was ok but then Donnie came out of nowhere and also took a flying leap onto Jon's shoulders.
The happiness that came from that moment is something that I will never forget. Jordan finally got to his brother on the right wing of the stage and I would kill to know what he said when he held his brothers face in his hands. Meanwhile the rest of the guys are jumping up and down with the biggest smiles I've ever seen on their faces.
It was one of those times where anyone could tell they were doing what they love. There were no pretenses there, it was just the happiness of 5 guys and a million sisters.
