Rekindled Old Flames
If New Kids on the Block are coming to your town, I highly recommend you attend the concert! Muse is still the best concert I've been to, but the NKOTB concert is in the top five. Twenty years later, Jordan, Jon, Joey, Donnie and Danny still have the right stuff!
Upon entering the E-Center, the ticket taker directed Sahara and I to a line to receive better tickets. Instead of being up on the 2nd floor we were on the 1st (apparently most fans, while now old enough to attend the concert, were unable to afford to the better seats). Then halfway through the concert, we moved even closer due to a row of empty seats. Natasha Bedingfield gave a good opening performance, although it was a funny combo--a current hot pop star opening for a once-idolized boy band.
NKOTB performed its biggest hits and some of their new songs--their new CD is worth checking out. Jordan, Joey and Donnie stole the show; they performed the majority of the songs while Danny and Jon performed back up or completely disappeared from stage. I gave Russ the challenge of performing Jordan Knight style: sveldt chest shown to its best as a fan blows his unbuttoned dress shirt while he expresses his undying love por moi (I can see it happening).
The guys hit all their notes, danced well, and knew how to play to the audience. It was as if they had never broken up. There were even fireworks.
Truly a night to remember.

Seriously...let me know if Russ stands and delivers on your challenge. Glad you had an awesome time at the concert. The last concert I went was Morrissey in July of last year.
