\"NKOTB\"<\/p>\n

The reunited New Kids on the Block \u2013 one of the first and most successful boy bands ever – are touring the country right now.<\/p>\n

Their tour entitled “New Kids on the Block: Live” kicked off on Sep. 18 and the group’s set list is a mix of material from their new album “The Block” and past hits such as “Please Don’t Go Girl,” “I’ll Be Loving You (Forever)” and “You Got It (The Right Stuff).”<\/p>\n

“Our old songs aren’t necessarily standards \u2014 they were pretty sweet \u2014 but it’s going to be fun in a live show. People come to hear that music, so we’re going to sing it with basically the same sound. We’re not doing a reggae version of our three biggest hits because when I see that, it pisses me off. Even I’m like `Spare me.’ We have something like ten top ten hits, which is amazing. So if we do those and five new songs, we’ll have a hell of a show. We will give the people what they want to hear”, Donnie Wahlberg is quoted as saying on the boy band’s official website.<\/p>\n

The reunion of the group’s now five fully-grown men, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood, Joey McIntyre and Jordan and Jonathan Knight, has proven to be a huge success. Their concerts are as packed with screaming fans as they were during the late 1980s and early 1990s, the only difference is that the crowd’s average age is a little bit higher today then it was fourteen years ago.<\/p>\n
