Twenty years ago today – October 25, 2002 – Nick Carter performed his very first solo concert in Ybor City, a part of his hometown of Tampa, Florida.

Can you believe we’ve had solo Nick Carter concerts for TWENTY-FREAKIN’ YEARS?!

That warm October Saturday meant a lot to me. I got to see his very first full, official concert for his first solo album the weekend before it was released. I waited for about 8 hours at the front of the stage, not sitting down once. I didn’t go to the bathroom either.

Nobody was going to get my spot.

Get ready for the ultimate Wayback Wednesday with footage from that very concert 20 years ago tonight …
