I had gone to see them when they were in St. Louis for the Black and Blue tour in 2001. I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to see them again. They did return with the One on One small tour in 2004, but I was unable to get tickets. bummer!!! When Unbreakable came out I hoped that they would come to the Lou again, but instead, they stopped in Bloomington which is at least 4 hours away. I think the Post Dispatch may have played a major role in their decision to not add St. Louis to the list, because their last two shows were basically trashed by the critic, Kevin Johnson.
The Unbreakable concert was by far the greatest BSB experience I have had thus far. I was amazed that I was able to afford tix on the floor for this one. You can't beat 30 dollars for floor seats to these concerts. It was worth every penny we spent on parking, souveneirs, and GAS!!! We passed two BSB on the highway on our way to where we staying that night. Our parking spot was just a few feet from the stage door, and YES, I was lucky enough to see two of them. Brian waved at the crowd moments after I reached the crowd, and Nick and I shook hands and shared a smile and a few words with one another. The only bad thing about the show (other than the seats weren't as close as I thought), was that my dad nearly had a heart attack in the middle of the concert. Luckily, he didn't, but in sympathy, the band souvenier guy let him have a free souvenier. :D We got an Unbreakable keychain, and I still carry it with me as a zipper pull!!! I hope that the This is Us tour stops in St. Louis. If not, I'm sure we'll go to the greatest lengths to see them again. They are so amazing!!!!
