Seeing him on the Today Show in May looking like he was having the time of his life got me really excited to see them perform live again. It had been so long since I’d seen Jon up on the stage!
Krystal and I were a little skeptical about the concert in San Jose. We only bought tickets to this show because one, we were afraid it might suck, and two, we had a trip planned the very next week after the show. We would later kick our own butts regretting not getting more tickets for other shows! And we knew nothing about 5* and would also kick our own butts over not getting to do that.
We ended up getting third row seats and as October drew near, I got more and more excited, while Krystal didn’t show much enthusiasm at all.
October 10th rolled around and for the first time I could actually see that Krystal was excited about this. I took the day off work and camped out outside of the entrance gates to the San Jose Arena with a friend. Not too much happened, but we did see both Donnie and Danny drive in.
Once Krystal got off work, we met up with a few friends from back in the day. We had dinner together and reminisced about the old days and talked about the show we were about to see!
One of our friends had front row seats that night directly in front of ours, so when the lights went down we decided we were going to move up to the front.
We got down to the floor and to our seats and who is about 10 feet away from us checking out Natasha Beddingfield??? JONATHAN! Like the total dork that I am, I screamed his name! He looked at me and proceeded to take off. I AM AN IDIOT! Just like in the past, I freaked out at the sight of him!
So the lights finally go down and the retrospective video begins and I feel tears coming to my eyes. I can’t actually wrap my head around the fact that this is indeed happening. Krystal and I hold hands and get ready! The boys appear on an elevated lift type thing and the tears begin flowing. This isn’t a dream, it is real and there is Jonathan R. Knight on the stage singing, dancing, and having the time of his life.
The show was incredible! You would never have guessed these guys hadn’t performed together in 14 years. When Jordan did Baby I Believe In You, you could have sworn it was Magic Summer Tour 1990 all over again. Hearing them sing their big hits as well as their new stuff was amazing. They all looked so good and seemed to be having the time of their lives! The excitement in the building was amazing. The show was amazing!
And as soon as it ended, Krystal and I realized we were so stupid for not getting tickets to more shows. We were sad, but had a cruise to get ready for. Who knew that that one regret would fuel us on to become crazy, in the lost our minds kind of way, fans in the months / years to come!!!
