New Kids on the Block in Concert
For three-plus decades, Danny Wood, Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Jonathan Knight, and Jordan Knight have been the total package — they sing, they dance, and they electrify arenas in tandem as New Kids on the Block. Formed in 1984 by Boston-based impresario Maurice Starr (who'd also created New Edition), the quintet became the premier boy band of the late '80s and early '90s, sending crowds into frenzies with hits like the sweetly besotted "You Got It (The Right Stuff)" and the longing "Please Don't Go Girl."
NKOTB had a bunch of hits, scoring two chart-topping albums and racking up three No. 1 singles: the doo-wop callback "I'll Be Loving You (Forever)," the statement of purpose "Hangin' Tough," and the fast-paced "Step By Step." But as they've grown from boy-band members into grown-men pop stars, they've kept up with current trends; their 2008 version of "Single" by soul smoothie Ne-Yo multiplied that hip-hop ballad's love-in-this-club mood by five, while the 2013 banger "Remix (I Like The)" kept the energy high as it told the story of a high school outcast's post-grad glow-up.
That song is an extension of the lifelong connection NKOTB have had with their fans, who continue to fill venues ranging from cruise ships to hometown temple Fenway Park while reveling in their 21st-century live performances. Seeing NKOTB in concert is as intense as it was during their heyday; while the kids have grown up and their voices have changed slightly, their in-sync dancing remains exuberant and precise, Jordan Knight's falsetto can still send audiences into a frenzy on "I'll Be Loving You (Forever)," and all five members maintain the charm and dancing ability that made them '80s teen idols — and kept them hanging tough in the 2010s, when they're recognized as true pop icons.

by celiacat on 7/3/09Mud Island Amphitheatre - MemphisI hadn't seen NKOTB in nearly 20 years (the last time was Feb. 1990) so at first being there among hard core fans was a little weird. I had awesome seats that would have made my 13 year old self envious. As soon as the guys were on stage I was transported to 1990 and completely reminded as to why I ever became a fan. Their show was a mixture of old and new songs complete with old school NKOTB dance moves. My favorite part of the show was when Donnie, Joey and Jordan got into the crowd to sing "Boyfriend". I highly recommend anyone who has never seen them or saw them back in the day like me to go. It's totally worth it!!!

by Gwendolyn on 7/3/09Mud Island Amphitheatre - MemphisI took my teenage daughter and her friend to the concert primarily to see opening act Jesse McCartney, who was great. the kids were babies when NKOTB made their debut. Having matured physically and musically, I think the band put on a great show and is better than before. Great dancing, fun music, amazing chemistry with the crowd of predominantly women in their 20s and 30s. You would have thought that we were at a Beatles or Elvis concert with crowd's response to the "Kids" turned "Men." One signficant negative was that the sound was WAY TOO LOUD, and this was an outdoor amphitheatre. I've been going to concerts for 30+ years and have never been blasted like this. My ears are still throbbing today.
