The show was amazing... Too much waiting around time though.. But everything else was unforgetable!!!!
The show was awesome, but Van Andel did a poor job with crowd control. Ticket holders were waiting and waiting in line for no apparent reason. The show started over one hour late too. Yes, it WAS worth the wait, but the wait was unnecessary.
Great seats at a great price. Performance was top notch. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it far exceeded my expectations. One of the best concerts I have been to. Took me right back to being a teenager again! Would highly recommend!
On Wednesday, May 25th, my sister and I, who are in our late 20's, became screaming "high school girls" again when we attended the NKOTBSB show. After Jordan Sparks finished her opening, the guys made a smashing entrance with pyro-techniques, lazer lights and smoke machines....the crowd went crazy!! Backstreet and New Kids put on an amazing show that was high energy and very hot! It was a nice balanace of both groups and several combined performaces...all 9 guys still have what it takes to put on an unforgettable show...this is a show that will NOT disappoint :)
I loved this show! I have been a Backstreet Boys fan from the beginning but was too young to ever know about New Kids on the Block really but I loved that part too. They were really pretty even in the songs they did and really seemed to love the crowd. Backstreet Boys took someone up on stage and sang to her. The only downside was the opener Ashlyne Huff. If you get Jordan Sparks though you are going to love the whole concert.
This concert was absolutely amazing. I remember seeing NKOTB when I was in 4th grade and I loved it. Now seeing them again paired up with the Backstreet Boys was unforgettable. The entire concert was high energy with everyone on their feet singing and dancing along. I was fortunate to know all of the songs, but my niece did not. Even not knowing all the songs, I think she had just as much fun as I did. These guys did a fabulous job. I can't wait to see them in concert again. If they come back to Grand Rapids, I will be there!
This show was off the hook....I loved the floor set of the seating...making the whole floor next to the stage was awesome. The combination of both bands taking turns singing hit after hit...Much fun and excitement..Both bands came into the audience...Only one thing missing guys....CLICK CLICK CLICK...Just saying....
LOVED the show,,,those boys can still rock it! Loved the way they interacted with the crowd especially Brian.
We loved this concert! It was so energetic and unforgettable! I was never able to see New Kids when I was young and in love with all of them! It was definitely one of my favorite concerts of all time!!!
I could not be more happy with my seats or the show. The only thing that would make that night better, would be meeting both groups in person! Had an awsome night!
My 16 year old daughter really wanted to go - I ended up winning tickets thru a radio station. It was a great show, not just a concert. The sound system wasn't great but that could be our arena. My daughter thought the band was too loud for the singers. Glad we went!
They put on a great show! NKOTB and BSB work great together! The special effects were really good!
an awesome concert cant wait for the next one to go to I love NKOTBSB
I recommend this show to everyone. Im a 40yo man. (not the typical fan of these groups) but i gotta admit this show blows the roof of any show i have seen in the past 10 years. non stop action dancing music in battle of the bands style. Not 1 dull moment. These groups know how to treat their fans. I would say this show was worth 3 times what i paid. They came out into the crowd, rose from platforms danced on two stages and played non stop hits from a huge catalogue of fan favorite top 40 hits. also, Jordin sparks as an opening act was pretty special too. if you only go to one show this summer, give this one a chance and catch it. You will be sooooo glad you did. Im thinking about checking them out at the united center now. once was not enough. :)
my expectations were definately exceeded with this show!! I have always wanted to see NKOTB live, and now I can say I did and LOVED every minute!
the weather was crappy & i was freezing cold...but i had an awesome time nonetheless :) BSB forever <3
If anyone has any doubts that The Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block still got the sound, moves, or anything in between...put those doubts to rest! These 9 boys proved to me that age is just a number, because they ROCKED that entire arena on the 25th for the kickoff of their show, and it was unforgettable!! Definitely worth the money, and long drive (&getting lost on that long drive) to get there! They played all the old hits, with new flair and basically looked GORGEOUS while doing it all! They even put forth the effort to interact with members of the crowd! Even though I'm strictly a BSB fan, and didn't know many NKOTB songs, they put on an amazing performance and I commend them for that! So, this review is running a bit long! Bottom line: The NKOTBSB is AMAZING. Enough said!
This was such a fun show!!!! I am not a big BSB fan so I was not looking forward to "having to sit through" their time on stage but the way NKOTB mixed up their songs and how the "solo group" times flowed from one to the other I found myself staying and enjoying BSB's time on stage as well!
NKOTBSB I would say had the best show of the year! They didn't hesitate to jump right into the show at all and involved their fans in every single part of the show by coming into the audience and really showing every person how much they are loved by ALL of them. It's a show you Definately do not want to miss. Jordin Sparks was a wonderful addition as well.
I loved BSB for about 15 years now and it was such an amazing concert watching them in person. I wished they were all together but it was still great. When they sang songs from their first album and millennium, it made me feel like that 11 year old girl again when I used to listen to them 24 hours a day. NKOTB was soooo good! I love their songs and it's great to see them together still. They are excellent performers! I want to go again!
