New Kids on the Block

Who knew they were from Boston?

The New Kids on the Block performed at the Xcel Energy Center on Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2008. At 9:08 the show got started with this sequence of words on the giant screen on stage:

In the crowd, thousands of 20 and 30-year-old women screamed as Danny Wood, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Jordan and Jonathan Knight took stage.

The New Kids on the Block will be touring through February 2009.
