The One With the New Kids on the Block Concert

 

 


Every two years, or so, the New Kids on the Block go on tour. And, one thing is almost always clear - when they are on tour, Emmie is going to see them.

 And, of course, when it was announced that they were touring this year, I knew we were going to be going. I also knew, somehow, I'd be the one getting the tickets - which I was.

This year, we were seeing the Summer Magic Tour, which was a reboot of a tour that they did back in the early 1990s. We had prime seating at the Xfinity Center (where we had seen them in the past) and also a VIP pack, which included some free goodies, which were always fun. Fans were also encouraged to dress in their 90s best, which I did, rocking a dashing shirt that actually got compliments from several people. Booyeah!

The concert itself was great. One of the people that I had always wanted to see in concert - and we almost had the chance years ago - was Paula Abdul. So, knowing she was going to be in it was a highlight for me. And, she was still amazing!!! Her songs - and her dance moves - were as crisp as ever.

Then, DJ Jazzy Jeff had a turn on stage. He's always been a favorite, so it was great to see him in person.

Then, it was time for the New Kids to take the stage. And they put on quite a show, complete with their standard homage to their hometown of Boston. They did an amazing job working through the crowd as well, which was fun to see. The concert was awesome. We even had some highly expensive "Liquid Death" water, too. But, it was another phenomenal take at an NKOTB concert.!
