Madison Square Garden is like playing in the Super Bowl- its still
just a show. You go out and do your thing; give it your best shot,
execute what you’ve practiced and hit it. But at MSG every move and
song is heightened. You are soaking up every moment but constantly
aware that you are in “the world’s most famous arena”. Its a place
that for many fields is a pinnacle and in the music business it is
viewed by many as the coolest place to play. Playing there, I think of
the location- right in the heart of Manhattan, close to “Broadway”…
I lived in NYC for ten years and walked by so many many times, been
there a bunch- during basketball games the court is illuminated in such
an inimitable way there…such theater. And of course, I had performed
there with the “Kids” before and at 16 I knew it was special. And
maybe for the first time, the younger me enjoyed it more cuz I wasn’t
thinking so much then. Don’t get me wrong, I had a blast and now I
have another photo album of memories in my heart. But I left that
night wanting more- like it was half-time instead of the end of the
game.
Walking down the back stage hallway, lined with photos with so much
history, so many great artists.
Such a privilege, I’d be a fool to wish for another.
But then again….
October 29th, 2008 at 6:03 am
You gave me goosebumps reading this. Soak it up! See you in 10 days!
October 29th, 2008 at 6:03 am
Oh Joey Mac - you tease! So what are you saying….?
Wish I was there with you guys at MSG last night but my time is coming: AMA’s, San Diego & LA - I cant wait!! Flying in from the other side of the world we be SOOO worth it!

That is soooo cool! I’ve never been to MSG, unfortunately - maybe someday so I can only imagine what it was like. So happy for you that you got to experience it again!
And I hope you guys play there many more times!!
Can’t WAIT to see you in Charlotte tomorrow night! Woot!
We’ll be the girls with the tater sack sign!

MSG was my first concert ever and I have to tell you it was awesome. I loved every minute of it. It was like I was a part of something truly special and I’m really glad that you guys helped me be a part of something like that.
October 29th, 2008 at 6:06 am
Wow - Joe! Your words really touched me!
October 29th, 2008 at 6:08 am
Tater Sack Bandits comin’ at ya in Charlotte! I know it doesn’t make sense now but it will. hopefully. LOL!
October 29th, 2008 at 6:10 am

Hi Joe,
I wish I was there to see you guys:( but I had a blast at the Toronto Show. Take it easy on the tour, we’re just so happy that your back, couldn’t ask for more.
P.S. Is that video #30 on NKTV a joke? Nobody confirmed, but its seems a joke, you smirked in the video:) anyhow if it’s true, please tell Jordan to get well soon.
All the best!NKOTB Forever!
October 29th, 2008 at 6:11 am
Third time is a charm
October 29th, 2008 at 6:11 am
Glad you guys had a blast. I hope you are enjoying it as much as all of us! XOXO
October 29th, 2008 at 6:11 am
Wow Joe.. that must be the coolest and most memorable time you had there.
Thanks for the fun vids backstage with the pre- and post-questions on NKTV… It must give you a very special and warm feeling to be performing in the same arena as your biggest idol… Frankie… *sigh* What an experience!
Soak it up to never forget every minute you’ve been there Joe!
See you in about 96 day.. HMH Amsterdam! We’re going to sweep you off your feet there!
Hugs and a big kiss
(also pass them on to Donnie, so he can add them to his million!)

I’m sure you did just great, you always do! As you once said. “Drink it up”, enjoy it. You definately deserve it. NKOTB was hot back in the day, but as far as I’m concerned, hotter today. You have so many more good things coming your way.
Don’t ever stop performing and singing, you belong on the stage. I enjoy watching you. What’s with all these pranks being pulled on your while your onstage. Are you planning any revenge on the guys? I can tell you all are having a blast, and we really enjoyed the last one. (NKTV) Priceless! Have you seen how much that post has blown up in 2 day? Insane! See what you guys do to us?
Keep keepin on! Peace!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and memories with us. I have been trying to sum up my experience seeing you in San Antonio and just haven’t found the words, but you said it all. It felt like half time and you left us wanting more. Is it selfish to want more? I don’t think so. You can’t have too much of a good thing :)I really hope you guys add a 2nd leg to the tour. I would love to see the show one more time. I think the first time I was in shock and didn’t really take it all in. We need another tour!!!
Be safe on the rest of the tour. Tell your families thanks for sharing you with us!
Shelley
October 29th, 2008 at 6:21 am
Joey Joe!!
Leave it to you to keep things in perspective. We too want MORE!!!!! The past 15 years something in us has been dormant just like I am sure it has been for each of you. With the 5 of you back together again, we are all ALIVE AND KICKING again… Thank you for taking us along on the ride.. It has been a pleasure watching you grow into such a wonderful, respectable man. Tell the guys thank you for never letting us fans down and sticking to your morals and roots and not letting the fame get the best of you.
Can’t wait to meet you in Denver, 5* VIP. I want a photo and autograph with you.
By the way, the MSG prank, was not funny at the time, but I love that you guys are still the funny, down to earth, light hearted bunch that you always have been. Maybe that is why the chemistry has always been right when you all are together.
Traci
October 29th, 2008 at 6:21 am
See you in Charlotte! TSB! NKOTB! Tomorrow baby!
October 29th, 2008 at 6:22 am
Hi there!
By reading all of the blogs its clear you guys are heaving a blast!!!
Nice it feels so good!
Wish i already could see a show now, i’m so curious :-), but i have to wait till you guys come to amsterdam. Well, it’s worth the wait, but it’s verry hard reading about everything and not be there…
We have to wait 4 months…pfff!
October 29th, 2008 at 6:23 am
Thanks for sharing that with us. I have to say as an East Coast gal, I am ashamed to say I have never been to MSG. Someday…. You guys must have had a blast, pranks and all.
I can say when I saw you in Boston, I left with a very similar feeling. It can’t be over! It doesn’t feel over… I want to do it all over again! So why not???? See you next week in Providence! 
October 29th, 2008 at 6:24 am
It is wonderful to read such a response to playing MSG. We, as fans, are so excited and can not wait to see you guys in person. For us to know that you are enjoying it as much as we are makes it even sweeter. We thank you for making us feel young again and bringing us back to those wonderful moments from our teenage years.
October 29th, 2008 at 6:24 am
I wish I could’ve been there to share that memory with you guys….I missed the Coliseum’s concert and the one at MSG…but I try to keep things positive and have that memory of meeting you at the signing on Long Island about 2 months ago. The Garden is a great place to be, and you know that the Kids will be posted up in the hallway of memories one day very soon. I hope you guys decide to come back to New York sooner then later….to give me that chance to see you again, Joke around with you and Jordan like we did on the Island….Loved you since I was 13 now 29… my how time flys by, but you never forget your first loves, all five of them! {hugs} Keep rocking the world, you guys can’t leave us…we’d be lost again.
October 29th, 2008 at 6:24 am
dfAs a fan for 20 plus years, I can honestly say that the concert at MSG was mind blowing. How you all have the stamina to do what you do all of these years later boggles my mind. You were all phenomenal. The fans are so lucky that you all chose to take time away from your families to to this once again!!
October 29th, 2008 at 6:24 am
how great is that? do you know every person seeing you gets the same feeling you are describing? most of us have experienced other entertainers/bands, but when nkotb arrives, it is the super bowl of concerts…we don’t want it to be over either!! so glad that you were able to have that experience for your memory bank!
pam
October 29th, 2008 at 6:24 am
Im sooo glad you guys are back
we reall do hope this will
continue for at least another
album but im sure things are different
this time around with family.
Loving you forever

October 29th, 2008 at 6:26 am
Hi Joey … by reading your message I could notice the “real artist” … the one that always gets touched by what he does and really feels “the magic”!!! God must be happy because the gift He gave you is being well “used”!!!

Such a heartfelt blog entry, it gave us chills! Thank you for sharing your intimate moments with us (and thank the other guys as well!) we love you all and thank you for coming back. We are soaking it all up as well; running into old friends, making new friends on the boards, and taking trips to places we never would have imagined if it weren’t for this reunion. We (you and us) are having the time of our lives.
Thank you – thank you.
Your Florida Girls (see you in Tampa!)

Is there a New Kids picture on the walls of MSG. There should be 2. One from the old days and one from today! Thank you for sharing the halls of MSG with us. Amazing to see the pictures of all the great artists that have played there. I have never been to MSG and likely will never get to see it, so thanks for sharing and thanks for the blog. You make us feel like we are right there with you!

Loving the frequent updates, this reunion is so exciting! i’m so glad I’m on maternity leave it’s giving me a lot of time to ‘research’ The Block!!

Hi Joe,
Thanks for sharing your walk down MSG’s hallway- and congratulations for performing at such a significant place again. Nothing wrong with desiring more- who knows what the future will bring… I know if you perform there again in whatever capacity(or should I say when:) ), I’ll try to come and see it.
With love,
Lucinda
October 29th, 2008 at 6:41 am
Joey your photo with the guys belongs right up there with the greats. You guys are an amazing group and don’t ever forget that. You have the voice of an angel and I am not just saying that because I am a fan. See you in Philly next week….

October 29th, 2008 at 6:49 am
Only because of your video blog, and showing us the back halls of the MSG and your venture along the way, can some of us understand the feelings you must be having. Seeing you TO was fantastic and I will keep it with me forever. Your journey has only just begun and will take you to many sites/people of greatness. Congrats on your tour and all your success!
October 29th, 2008 at 6:52 am
I must say reading this gives me a bit of insight into what makes you all so special. That desire, drive, destiny for more…always reaching to make your fans experience something spectacular, something above and beyond anything they’ve experienced before. It’s amazing, you truly do acheive this. Keep wanting more, Joe. It’s when we’re no longer hungry that we lose our edge.
October 29th, 2008 at 6:52 am
Yeah, that’s all great and all, but OMGOSH that joke…kind of mean. I remember what pranksters you used to be and obviously still are. And in the back of my head I probably knew it was just a joke, but there was a part of me that wondered if it were true. And that was the part that panicked! So glad you’re in such awe about playing MSG…and if/when you guys decide to pull a prank again at least let us know it’s a prank after a while! Thank you!
October 29th, 2008 at 6:52 am
Hi,Joe,i’m so glad you having a great time in MSG, you all deserve it! You’re the best, i love you so much and forever. i can’t wait to february in Paris too see you.
With all my LOVE… a portuguese fan.

Thanks for sharing! It is great to see you all have such a great time. The fans will continue to be there, as long as you guys are here. I will never get to see you at MSG but to know that you are there is something special all on it’s own! Thanks for everything!
Forever NKOTB!!!!
Amber
P.S. Be safe and Enjoy the rest of the tour. PLEASE continue to keep us updated. The fans LOVE it!!!
October 29th, 2008 at 6:56 am
Hey Joe, I think everyone has a place that they walk into and feel like a little kid at Christmas. Excited,nervous and in awe all at the same time. Sounds like Madison Square Garden is your place. Don’t lose that. That’s what makes it special.
Love to everyone and have a fun out there! See you guys in the summer!

October 29th, 2008 at 7:03 am
I know exactly how you feel Joe…I went to go see you at the Today Show in May…I stayed outside in the rain for 5 hours and I was 6 months pregnant!!! I came all the way from Toronto! I went the exact same day after the show and took the MSG Tour!! I wanted to experience being in the world’s most famous theatre!! I stood exactly where you were and was amazed at all the talent on the walls….I just hope one day…they will post a pic of NKOTB…you deserve to be up there with the all the great talents!! We love you and hope you’ll be back to Toronto to end the tour!! WE LOVE YOU!!
October 29th, 2008 at 7:03 am
Is that a hint that there really will be a summer tour? I hope so! Because your fans haven’t had enough yet
I was at the show in Detroit on Saturday night. My best friend and I had an amazing time! Thanks for rocking the Palace!
Oh, and if you could do me a favor I’d appreciate it. I was seated on the floor and when you guys walked back by my row on your way back to the main stage, I had my hand out. Some girl spilled her drink as she tried to attack one or all of you and as you were stepping over it to avoid the mess, I thought I was going to be passed by. But then Jon reached over, grabbed my hand and squeezed it. So please tell him thanks for making my night even better than it already was

That is such an exciting description!! I ahve never been to NYC, but some day ( I guess it will have to be a girls week trip because my Hubby has no interest!). There are somany things you described I would love to see (MSG, Broadway…). Saw you guys in St. Paul and it was great, can’t wait to see you again!!
October 29th, 2008 at 7:05 am
COME BACK TO MSG, NYC!!!! I could see you guys were indeed enjoying every single moment at MSG. Your NewYork, NewYork was a surprising gift to us~
JOEYJOE 영원히~~~~~
Your favorite Korean fan~~
October 29th, 2008 at 7:08 am
It sounds like an amazing privilege. Hopefully you will get to go again!
I saw you twice in Chicago – you all were amazing! After flying out to New York too see you all at the Today show – and not getting too close – it was such a thrill to be 12th row and then just about front row for the smaller stage. Perhaps you remember me – I was the crazy fan holding up a jean jacket with a New Kids patch affixed to the back. (My mom made me the jacket when I was in 3rd grade! How funny!) Seeing you guys so close was my 9 year old dream that came true at the age of 26!
Good luck with the rest of the tour! Congrats on your marriage and your little son!!
Please come back to Chicago!!
Courtney
October 29th, 2008 at 7:08 am
I agree Joe…soak it all in. You never seem to take anything for granted…which is a special gift…to many people now adays take to many things for granted. Enjoy the ride and see you on the 18th up in Edmonton!!!! Love ya!!
October 29th, 2008 at 7:08 am
That was a great blog! I love being able to feel what you’re feeling…it just makes me understand how great this is for all of you and how much you really do appreciate it. Well…we appreciate it too! Your shows are amazing and there’s no question I can’t get enough…I’ll see you in Tacoma in November and I can’t wait! Dallas was amazing and I’m just aching for more! A summer tour…ummm…YES PLEASE!!! The more New Kids the better!
LOVE LIVE THE BLOCK!
Andrea
October 29th, 2008 at 7:10 am
OMG I was there and it was the best concert I’d ever been too!!!!!! The crowd was electrifying and the Kids were unbelievable!! I drove down from Buffalo just to see them. I really hope you come to Buffalo some time soon. I’ve got a ton of friends that want to see you guys and I’d def go again. Miss you and love you always.
Maria
October 29th, 2008 at 7:11 am
Joe, you ROCK. I am so happy that you got to experience this again as an adult and really take everything in. You guys never cease to amaze me this time around. I hope this never ends for you guys (and us too!!)
Love ya!
October 29th, 2008 at 7:13 am
Good Morning Blue Eyes. Just a quick question. Was Jordan really hurt or was that just y’all joking around like always?
October 29th, 2008 at 7:13 am
Just come out and say it….please!! Stop. The. Teasing. It’s as bad as dangling a nice, juicy, ribeye steak in front of a hungry dog. For those of us who’ve already attended your concert, we are wanting MORE!! So grant us all a Christmas gift by announcing you’ll be doing another US tour next summer. That is on my Christmas wishlist, and thankfully my husband is very understanding with all this!
October 29th, 2008 at 7:13 am
The end of the game…………….*Sigh*
Well, Mr Mc you’ve done it once, twice…..Who knows what life has in store. I saw you belting out “New York” on a vid from MSG. Like you said when you ended.. “It’s not how your start, It’s how you finish!” If this is a note to end it on with the reunion and doing things the right way and being content with your work and doing things your way- then what a way to end it.
Have y’all seen Spike Lee’s Joint “Do the right thing”?
“Yo Sal, how come there no brothers up on the wall?”…………..LMAO (I hope one of you guys have or you wont get it)
When do you guys get you pic up in MSG?
See you in Jan @ the O2 VIP

This was an absolute amazing concert. I have been to the one in Montreal, and this one by far was much more outrageous! This has been exciting trip following NKOTB after all these years. I still have another concert to attend in Borgata November 7th, and can’t wait! Meeting you guys has also been wonderful, which makes me even more obsessed. LOL!!! No words can explain my excitement and joy I feel when hearing your music!! Love you guys ~always and forever~ <3charlene
October 29th, 2008 at 7:19 am
Welcome back to Atlanta…See you guys in a bit…hopefully! “NSP”
October 29th, 2008 at 7:22 am
Joey baby you are never a fool for wanting more…I know we all want more of you guys too and are very hopeful that you guys will keep going! I love you and thank you again for giving us OUR dream come true! Long live The Block!
October 29th, 2008 at 7:22 am
It must be the pinnacle of a career, kind of like winning the superbowl. The build up and then there’s after. I hope that the arenas to come still give you some sense of satisfaction. We are so anticipating your future performances!…better with age, Joe, better with age, no doubt! And, I’m so happy to see your son with you every so often! I hope the other guys are able to get some one-on-one with their families through this…they must miss them terribly! Thank-you again, for giving of your time and your heart to this whole thing! The BLOCK is back and stronger than ever!

MSG rocked! I have never had so much fun in my life! I really hope you guys come back because I can guarantee I will be there!
Thank you for your version of New York, New York - it was perfect despite not rehearsing! You guys were truly amazing on Monday night and I can’t wait to see you again!

Joe,
I can only imagine what it must be like to play MSG, magical I’m sure. I’m glad you took it all in this time and hope you enjoyed every minute. I’m sure it was a fantastic show…as they all are! I’ll see ya in two weeks…St. Louis and KC baby!
~Tara
P.S. The whole Jordan spraining his ankle thing was sooo not funny!…I had a feeling it was your idea!
October 29th, 2008 at 7:25 am
I was there and I want another too!!!
October 29th, 2008 at 7:26 am
Aw…it’s still half time because you haven’t been to Charlotte, yet! Okay, so it’s not the Madison, but the people there will make it seem you’re into the second half of the game:) Does that sound vain?
Anyway, I will see you all tomorrow night, and I can’t wait! This is a dream for me, and tomorrow night will be my “Madison Square Garden” moment:)
Thank you for sharing with us, as always! I love my Joey Joe:) (I am so happy to be seing the Smiley Face jacket again…woohoo!).
Love,

Wish I could’ve been at that show but you guys were awesome in Chicago on the 24th!!
Love you all!!
Love,

October 29th, 2008 at 7:30 am
Also, LOVED How you sang “NEW YORK NEW YORK”- That was great!!
October 29th, 2008 at 7:32 am
Hey Joe,
That’s always been a dream of mine as well. I probably won’t get to perform @ MSG unless they bring theater there. Although I love to sing - I think I’m a better actress. Anywho, who knows - maybe we’ll be casted in something together someday. But for now - thanks for the show at MSG you were FAB and the boys were GREAT! I am still completely SHOCKED at the fact that you hit those “please dont go girl” notes! You probably had to do major training for that. All-in-All, you were GREAT and I am so happy to see that you’ve grown into such a GREAT singer and performer! Rock on my brother and stay real!
October 29th, 2008 at 7:34 am
Awww Joey I Love You So Much And I Love Your Blogs. Your So Cute. Thanks For All That You Do For Us. I wish I Could Have Come To The MSG Show But I Was At The DETROIT Show And It Was Hot. I Was The Crazy Girl Who Stayed Outside In The Cold Till Every Bus Was Gone. I Had The Best Time Ever. I Love You Guys So Much. Cant wait To See You Again. You Guys Are Playing AC On My Birthday So I Really Wont To Go To That Show Hope I Can Make It.
October 29th, 2008 at 7:36 am
Hey Joey - you explained exactly how WE feel! When you guys walk away… we just can’t wait for another chance to see YOU! WE WANT MORE!
For now, I’ll sit here - waiting for my next chance to hang out with The Block!
October 29th, 2008 at 7:38 am
What a moment for all of you. Leaving and wanting more. That is exactly how I felt after your concert in Cleveland. Wanting more and wondering if I will ever get to see another concert again?? I sure do hope so!!
October 29th, 2008 at 7:39 am
Your blogs are always so honest and sweet. I love to read them.
Your show in Minneapolis was amazing as it is in every city you perform in! Keep it up and come back soon. One show for me was simply not enough! 
Love you much!

What a great experience for you! I love reading these blogs from you guys! I can’t WAIT to see you in Utah in a few weeks!
(I must say….when I saw the title “Joe and MSG” I thought I was going to be reading about the MSG that causes headaches that’s in a lot of chinese food. I was so worried you had a migraine or something awful. I’m glad you’re not sick!
Haha!)
October 29th, 2008 at 7:41 am
hey joe!
you should totally write up a journal bout this reunion tour and sell it! or..give it to us fans…everytime you write its pure magic!! i love reading your thoughts and can’t wait to read more! I had a blast at MSG, mainly the VIP, cuz i had to sit through most of the concert(damn knee). oh btw, it was AWESOME meeting you! i was in b group and the last one out. I jokingly scratched you back and when you turned around and greeted me…dude i think you gave me a slight heart attack. it was the most unexpected sensation but, you are GORGEOUS( i know you know but in person and up close it was like i was surrounded in this fog, like you at the Borgata, of just how amazing you are)!! oh…BESO BESO from me and my cousin…next time we will show you what that means!!!! BUUUUT when i saw on the screen that you got on the piano and sang New York New York…i cried for the first time at a NKOTB concert(don’t get me wrong y’all always manage to tear me up at some point at every show ive been to) but it really really hit me Monday. That was the song my dad always had me sing at all the filipin parties when i was younger…and to actually be in NYC, with the all y’all and to have you (mr. sinatra’s #1 fan) belting out that song with your wonderful voice…i’m teary just remembering that moment!!! btw…last night lynn and i sang NY NY in your honor during our NKOTB/80’s/depressing love song Karaoke night:):)
see you next week!
October 29th, 2008 at 7:42 am
WANTING MORE? WE DIDNT WANT IT TO END EITHER!! NYC LOVES YOU GUYS… SO IF YOU CAN FIT US IN AGAIN
… I WAS AT THE FIRST US SHOW IN JERSEY & THEN ON MONDAY @ MSG - I STILL DONT HAVE MY HEARING BACK! LOVE TO YOU ALL.. AND THANK YOU FOR THE NEW YORK , NEW YORK SOLO.

October 29th, 2008 at 7:47 am
Hi Joe,
I hope you get the opportunity to return and finish the 2nd half. But then also to be sure to get back to Chicago and play some overtime. I’ll be one of the girls in the Windy City…. waiting with my neon green JOE sign. This time I’ll try not to lock my keys in the car if you should appear in the parking lot.
I am cherishing every moment from the concerts, to meeting you guys (planned and unplanned experiences), and meeting all of the other ladies who have waited just as long as me. I too hope I’m not a fool to wish for more NKOTB.
Love,
Brandie
October 29th, 2008 at 7:49 am
I was there! I was halfway back on the floor but I was right up there with you guys for the B stage. Enjoyed the New York, New York you did
I hope this is only halftime and you guys will be around for quite a while. This has left us wanting more too.
Stay well on the road.
Love,
Katie
October 29th, 2008 at 7:49 am
Joe, I just love reading your blogs. You are a very good writer. Have you ever written stories? I imagine you would probably be excellent at writing children’s books. Especially with the inspiration of your child to guide you.
I have never been to MSG myself, but have always wanted to see it. I’m glad your show went well and am soooooo looking forward to my turn in Kansas City on November 11! Take care of that beautiful voice!
October 29th, 2008 at 7:49 am
VENEZ EN BELGIQUE SVP!!!!
Nous sommes un énorme groupe de filles qui veulent vous revoir sur scène!!!
PLEASE COME ON IN BELGIUM
October 29th, 2008 at 7:52 am
I was at MSG and you guys were amazing!! I have to say that was the best concert I had ever been to, and I have been to a lot!! When you guys first came out I felt like a little girl all over again screaming and jumping up and down. I had goosebumps every where. You guys are great performers and have so much talent! I’m so glad you guys have come back to your fans. New Kids fans never die and we will follow your journey all the way!! I was a die hard fan back in the day but now I have much more appreciation for you guys and what you do. I couldn’t believe how packed the garden was and at the end when you guys did hanging tough and seeing everyone wave their arms is something i will never forget..Thanks for a great show!!! Can’t wait till you come back to NY…Oh and for Jon who said he was shy..he was great and adorable…you guys just keep shining!!!
October 29th, 2008 at 7:54 am
Hey there Joe…It’s your #1 T.O.fan4eva!!!!
You were a BLAST in T.O. Glad you took the time to travel North, we will never
forget you! You have such a kind soul and a soft heart and it’a blessing to have you in this world. Take care of yourself, say I love you everyday to your wife and son….and God Bless!
Love, Michelle
October 29th, 2008 at 7:55 am
Oh Joey: Thank you for sharing that experience with me. I can only imagine how amazing that felt. NYC/Broadway is the place I hope to come someday in the near future. I can only imagine the magic that you feel being there.
Just to think you stood where “Ole Blue Eyes” himself has stood probably so many times; that in itself had to be an fabulous feeling. I can just feel your heart right now.
But I have to say seeing you and the rest of the NKOTB men for the first time; you really have a amazing stage presence. You really stand out and shine. More than Jordan and Donnie; I enjoyed watching and hearing you. Now mind you I love looking at Donnie I think he is the greatest looking man alive, but you really hold the stage with your singing abilty, and you are not so hard on the eyes either. But when you’ve got it, you’ve got it. And Baby Blues you have it. Don’t lose it. Keep it coming, keep it coming.
Thank you again for coming back and giving me an opportunity to see you and the NKOTB men.
October 29th, 2008 at 7:56 am
Hey Joey Joe,
It’s about time you finally wrote us. I was wondering to myself when will he ever write to he’s fans. I was totally missing you. Which reminds me, I totally had such a good time and a wonderful time on October 2nd at the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. to see you in concert for the 2nd time. Esp with the guys Donnie, Jonathan, Jordan and Danny. You all just made my night. I never screamed so much in my entire life. It was like everytime I saw you on the screen and when you were on the piano or beside it I just kept screaming your name and saying I LOVE YOU. After it was totally OVER I was still arounded up afterwards. Plus I didn’t fall out until 3:11 that morning. Anyhow, I’m praying that you will return back to Washington, D.C. next year and please. I’m dying to meet you and the guys in person someday. That has always been my Childhood Dream since I was 10 years old.
NKOTB Will Always Be #1
You’re Biggest Fan Since 1988

I am so glad that you are still able to be in awe of your life. You all really have such a great life. What fun. I want to go on tour with you! Come on! I’m super fun! I missed you guys on the 24th in Chicago. The work party that I threw to “distract” myself turned into a nightmare from the 17th circle of hell. I was crying in the parking lot because it was a mess and I knew what I was missing. I really hope you can come back to Chicago or do another tour so I can redeem myself! Someone I know went (thanks for the invite!) and Donnie took her camera while on stage B and took pictures! I can’t wait to see them! I hope you continue to enjoy this. I know I will. Love you all, Love me
October 29th, 2008 at 8:08 am
Hi!
I was at the MSG show & let me tell you it was AMAZING!! There aren’t enough words to describe just how good it was for me and my friends.
It doesn’t have to be the “end of the game” like you said above - You don’t want to wait 15+ years to come back. NYC & MSG will always welcome NKOTB back with open arms!! We all love you & would all fill the Garden over & over again!

Definitely felt the goosebumps! What a natural high it must be to be a performer! You rock it on stage, but even more when you are meeting your fans. I appreciate how modest and genuine you are when meeting us (I met you back in Chicago when you were promoting Talk to Me)! Thank you for being a showman, an idol, and staying true to yourself!!
October 29th, 2008 at 8:09 am
Aw, it’s nice to hear that you are soaking this up & truly enjoying yourselves. My girl Mica was there & you guys gave her an unbelieveable, unforgettable experience. Keep on keepin on! You guys are totally killin it every show. I can’t wait to see you all again Nov 10 in St Louis! 12 more days!!
Thanks for the backstage NKTV vids. They were great. Oh, and LOL at Jordan’s fake injury!
P.S. We want this to keep going as long as possible. So, I hope this is only half time. Can’t wait until next summer!
Love ya,

October 29th, 2008 at 8:23 am
I <3 you, Joe. I love all of you.
Meeting you all in Chicago at the M&G will be one of the most memorable moments of my life.
I was so locked up and afraid to talk… I think I got a “we met your dad years ago and he was so great to us” out…
That was only part of a great story. Maybe some day soon, I’ll get to share a few of the beautiful details with you. If you’re interested in hearing it.
Thank you all so much for doing this. I look around at how crazy it must be for you an only hope the craziness doesn’t get to be too much and pushes you all away again.
My best friend (who ironically met your dad with me) said yesterday she didn’t want to go to a show and get attached again… she couldn’t put herself through the heartache of another rocky split
I know the feeling.
I wish we could put into words what you all mean to some of us. But it is impossible. But another thing she said was… “Damn, Tasha. Those guys gave us a lot of ambition, didn’t they? Something to shoot for?” That’s an understatement, but the best words can do I guess.
Thank you, Joe.
All my love,
Natasha
October 29th, 2008 at 8:25 am
My love JOEY,
I could tell how excited you were through NKTV. I really love watching that! I wish I could go to the show in NYC. I went to the show in CHICAGO last week. My dreams of 20 years finally came true! I cannot thank you more for coming back! Thanks for the great loving show. I loved your sweet voice and sexy dance! I could not stop crying while you came up on the stage singing SINGLE. I’ve got to see you, hug you and tell you how much I love you next time! I love you always and keep on Rockin’! Take care!
PS. Pleeeease come and see us in Japan, too!
October 29th, 2008 at 8:27 am
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. MSG is such a special place for every musician. I am so glad you had an amazing show at MSG after all those years. I really wish I was there…(I had my friend at the front row center and she had a blast!)
Joe, sorry for the stupid question… did you get emotional being at MSG more than being at TD banknorth garden? I was watching Celtics opening game tonight on tv, and I was like “ohh garden… I was there… Paul Pierce joined the show… I had a blast… I met them…!” and I got goose bumps. It may sound strange but TD banknorth garden is now very special place for me =)
Love,
Akiko, Japan
October 29th, 2008 at 8:28 am
Hey Joe.
Have you ever written a song. You do have a way with words. I love reading your blogs. Thanks and keep them coming. Hope to see you in St. Louis. Been waiting 18 years for this!!!
sally
P.S. You all gave us something to talk about with that little stunt with the strectcher and camera…well I’m hoping it was a stunt.
October 29th, 2008 at 8:30 am
So eloquently written Joe! Thanks for giving us a bit of your heart in this blog. It’s pretty much how I have felt each show I’ve been to this time. I hope I’m not “a fool to wish for another!!”
Please come back to Ohio next year! We need more!
October 29th, 2008 at 8:32 am
Love the videos you guys have been leaving, especially Jordan on a stretcher. Once I figured out you guys were playing with us I laughed so hard. Im glad you guys had a good time playing @ MSG, the place where your idol played too. I cant wait to see you guys on 11.22.2008 in Tacom. Stay well and Stay safe.
Lots of Love,
Angeline
October 29th, 2008 at 8:35 am
You guys were great at MSG. I loved every minute of it. My friend and I waited 20 years to see you in concert. It was well worth the wait.
Tickets for the concert was the best birthday present. Thanks for making my birthday celebration so memorable.
XOXO
-Tanya
PS Please come back to NYC for another concert. My friend would be there with me (along with 15 other girls I know that are now all upset because I got to go and they didn’t HA HA).
October 29th, 2008 at 8:37 am
Joe, I can only imagine the amazing feeling that surrounds you as you play in such historical and world renowned places.
Enjoy every moment, every second. You all deserve this!

I am glad that your experience was tremendous. You should soak in every second. Live it, love it, and believe that it will never end. It will be in your heart forever. Just as you and the rest of the New Kids will forever be in mine. Thank you for being so wonderful!

Hey Joe-
I love the way you express yourself freely.
Your words are so ravishing the way you articulate them.
When I read your excerpts, it feels as though I have a close bond with you.(with all of you)
It’s an incredible,and beautiful thing to be a part of.
You have grown into a strong, commendable man.
I admire each and every one of you.
Until next time… stay healthy, strong, and always… stay positive.
Love always, Dannell
October 29th, 2008 at 9:06 am
Dear Joe,
You deserve to perform there. You and the “kidz’ were great and still great now. You have proven that. I’m not there, I am miles-miles away, but from what I saw in this website, I think you all did great. It’s a another new beginning for your career. You did solo (and you do great coz you came to my country which is so far away from US to do promo album) and now you try to be with the “kidz’ again and your fans are still there. You guys still good performer, but with different taste now (which is totally okay, actually).
You have rocked the world, and you do again now.
I’ve seen NKTV (show 29), part that you said, “Before Justin, there were Jordan.” I laughed at the moment, coz you are so right, Joe. But you know, donnie is right too, “First it was Frank, then it was Joey D.” Although you must have a million records to catch him…
It’s not the end of the game, Joe. You still have many chances to be bigger and bigger.
Love
RINI

Ahhh I love reading blogs like these! Take it all in and enjoy it to the fullest extent! : )
October 29th, 2008 at 9:08 am
Aw Joe, love that you shared that with us! Can’t imagine how amazing it must be to perform there. We’re so very happy that you got to do it again and really take it all in with those most important to you no less. Ha and call me crazy but I think if you wanted to yet again a few fans would turn up for that
Much hugs, love and thanks,
Karrie
October 29th, 2008 at 9:09 am
I think it is time that they added a picture of the Block to that hallway backstage. You guys are so humble and down-to-earth and I love that about you. All of those artist were legends. You guys are legends too.
See you tomorrow night in Charlotte!
Love always,

Joe, you amaze me more and more everytime I see you, read a blog or hear you sing your heart out to the screaming crowd. Your words gave me chills and I felt as if I was there. I have one thing to say to you…
WE WANT MORE!!!!!!!!
As if you have to even wonder if we do! But, still I felt it needed to be said so you guys were sure that we would LOVE another tour. We keep hearing rumors and you guys keep teasing us with “see you next summer” or other such lines that make us giddy
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the amazing shows I have already seen and the ones I am looking forward to in November! I will see you at the AMA’s, San Diego and then LA next month and I surely can NOT wait!!!
Love you!!!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Joey Joe…
You guys deserved to be there just as much as the rest of them before you!
Here’s to another go at it… sooner than you think!
XOXO

Hey Joe that was soooo sweet! I bet it was amazing can’t wait to see you in STL on Nov 10. I would really love to sing your Thanksgiving song it is funny and I think we could all use a good laugh now days…. lol…that and Thanksgiving is only a couple weeks away after your show here…
Can’t wait to see you again you guys are awesome!!

Wow….I have goosebumps from reading that.
I continue to have more and more respect for you, with every thing I read.
You are an amazing person, with amazing dreams, and you are so successful, not only because you are amazingly talented, but you ALWAYS strive for more. That shows a great entertainer, your lines don’t end at just being with “The Kids”.
Joe, you WILL have another show at MSG…I can guarantee, as you will at MANY other amazing arena’s around North America and The World. The Block has resurfaced in a way most thought would be unimagineable.
The show is amazing, I was so fortunate to see you 3 times in Toronto….and I can’t wait to get myself out to another show.
You have some serious talents Joe, and as Donnie said….
“First there was the Chair Man of the Board, Then Joey D….There has only been 1 OL’BLUE EYES since Frank, and thats you”
Keep doing what your doing Joe, because you are so extremely talented!
I’ll always be a fan!

Hi Joe,
Thank you all so much for a Great Night!
I was a vip 5 star.
You guys still have it. You are GREAT singers, GREAT performers. I’ve been to many concerts and this one is the best one.
Please tell Jon I said hello. I was the one who stood up at the end of the show and threw him a kiss(turqouise shirt). He thought I was crazy for doing something like that. I am Extremely shy and never have I done anything like that….but I just had to do it. I am fan of 20 years. I’m sure if you ask him, he’ll tell you.
Thank you Jordan for saving a spot for me to take the picture with you.
God bless all of you.

Ps: Joe my sister who is living in Greece wanted you to know that you still look really good. I forgot to tell you last night, sorry.
October 29th, 2008 at 9:37 am
Hey Joe. I’m from Turkey but going to Dusseldorf to meet you with a 5VIP. As you see and know your fans will always be with you. We can never get enough off you guys and we always want to see you guys on stage. So if you decide for other tours, we will be there for you and that will be a blast for all of us. Love you so much and so glad that you enjoyed being in MSG. Hope you will be performing there many times and again I’m hoping to be there in your concert one day. Love you lots.
Long Live NKOTB

As long as you keep performing, we will keep coming back for more!

You tease!! I loved watching the NKTV of you talking about all the legends that had been there before. You can tell that you really appreciate the classics. Guess what, YOU are a classic!! Well, after you hit up MSG again you might as well stop off here in Cleveland. Love you guys, thank you so much! XOXO Jenni
October 29th, 2008 at 9:43 am
Joe, you gave me serious chills hearing you belt out “New York, New York” with all your heart! I was singing right along with you (the crowd went nuts went you did that - lemme tell you) I’m soooo happy and proud that you were able to do that in my hometown… Hopefully you’ll be able to do it again…soon…
October 29th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Hey Joe, I was at the Garden and it was, by far, the BEST show ever. I could not believe Donnie traded his Sox hat for the Yankee hat (I’m a huge Mets fan, so naturally I HATE the Yankees). It may have only been 5 minutes or so but it had to be torture for him…It was great to see the gratitude he (and all of you) showed to us NY’ers. You think that YOU wanted more? I think that we all wanted more. You guys def gotta come back!!!

I know you get a ton of these messages, but I am so surprised by how much I love your new CD, and how wonderful your concert was! I have been listening to The Block daily since I bought it a month ago, and I never really do that. It is driving my husband crazy, because usually we listen to classic rock together. He did ask to hear Single the other day, so that was a step in the right direction. I was so sad I couldn’t see you the second time you came through Chicago, but maybe I can see you all again in the future. Much love.
October 29th, 2008 at 9:49 am
I know how you feel. This will sound silly, but after meeting you guys and seeing the show in Dallas, I am NOT satisfied. I NOW NEED MORE!
You guys are like a deliciously good drug. As always my simple request “Sexify My Love!”
October 29th, 2008 at 9:52 am
Leave us hanging with the “but then again…”
Thanks JOE.

October 29th, 2008 at 9:54 am
By the way, REAL slick going across the street incognito to get to the Garden… We let you be…Didn’t want to make a scene…lol
October 29th, 2008 at 9:54 am
P.s…Come back to TEXAS and OHIO next year…my two opportunities to you y’all again!!!!
Also..with another tour..you will be able to finish up what you started in NY and enjoy MSG again!
October 29th, 2008 at 9:58 am
The show at the MSG was a childhood dream come true…
Forever die hard NKOTB fan… … Hope there is another MSG tour down the road…. NYC wants more …

Take Care and rest up to come back to Cali!!

I’m really glad you are enjoying this all so much. How are Griffin and Barrett doing on the road. It’s really nice how I keep hearing that the three of you get out a bit and tend to go out for a nice family breakfast in the morning when you can. That must bring some calm to all the chaos, well except for when you run into fans
Griffin is going to be so used to eating in restaurants that it will be a breeze to take him out! Is he walking yet? My daughter didn’t start til 14 months but he looked like he was well on his way (despite the bumpy bus rides).
Keep enjoying every minute of this (we all are) and thanks so much for all the updates, including the goofy ones (I knew Jordan wasn’t really hurt, you guys didn’t have me fooled for a minute … ok, maybe just for like a split-second).
Oh, and make sure you have another chance for Boston fans to meet you some day. I botched my first two chances to meet you, even after waiting out in the rain at 5 AM. None of that’s not your fault of course but I’m hoping for just one more chance!
Much Love,

Hey there Joe,
Thank you so much for sharing!! We BLOCKHEADS are anxiously waiting for you guys to share these sorts of sentiments with us. I’m sure the NY fans from Monday are so gracious for this too!
Hope you check FACEBOOK because, myself and like 20,000 other fans LOVE LOVE LOVE you guys……we are fanatic all over again because of the fact you guys came back to us. It was like, a long lost LOVE..that returned to our lives. I can’t work anymore…..it’s pathetic, but I’m having such a great time reliving my youth again with you boys.
Can’t wait to see you again LIVE!

YOUR PIC WILL BE UP THERE SOMEDAY!!!! You are so worthy of it, along with the rest of the guys!! We love you, and are hoping you will be performing again for the next tour….walking again down the hallway at MSG AND of course……the new Arena in PITTSBURGH BABY!!!! Enjoy every minute because WE ARE LOVING IT!!! THANK YOU JOE!!! - Kathy (Cleveland VIP terrible towel girl);)
October 29th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Joe, I think you summed it up. I was wondering if the MSG show would really be “different” or “special” beyond the general amazingness that always comes with seeing you guys, and seeing you perform. (I think as a Knicks fan, I’ve been stuck with going to MSG lately for less-than-incredible experiences!) But let me tell you…the show had every ounce of “difference” and “specialness” that comes with being in the Greatest City in the World and in the World’s Most Famous Arena. Incredible, unbelievable show from start to finish, and sharing it with the sold-out crowd (and the Blockhead friends I’ve made since this reunion started) made it even better. I never got to see the New Kids in concert back in the day, and am going to at least four shows this tour (I have two left)…but I have to say that between the glorious 5* event at my first show at Izod, and the whole MSG experience, I don’t think I can top what’s already happened. I’ll just keep going to enjoy the kick-@$$ show and angle for a little more Face Time if I can get it.
But I’m an unbelievably happy and satisfied New Kids fan. I don’t think I can thank you guys enough for doing this reunion and making everything that’s happened this year possible.
October 29th, 2008 at 10:27 am
Hey Joe,
Thats amazing that you realize how blessed you are and what a great privileged the experience. I felt nothing but gratitude from that blog .I would have to agree with the history aspect of MSG. Some people dont realize how blessed they are and what opportunities they have in front of them. I have never had the chance to go to the Gardens but I hear it is awsome. Thanks for being real..
Peace, love, and blessing
October 29th, 2008 at 10:27 am
Ah, i bet it was AMAZING! I seen you guys in Cleveland, im from Pittsburgh.. THE BEST CONCERT I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! First time seeing you guys! I have loved watching and listening to you since I 3! (yeah believe it or not even 3 year olds love NKOTB :)!) I havent given up on you guys through all these years and when you got back together it was one of the greatest things to ever happen for me! I drove to Cleveland to see you guys and i would drive anywhere i could! Maybe next time you’ll do us Pittsburgh fans a favor and come see us here! I know you wont regret it we know how to have a good time here!
MUCH LOVE,
Candace

October 29th, 2008 at 10:32 am
But then again…Joe what are you saying. Are you hinting at that summer tour we would all love to have???
Glad you had such a great time performing at MSG. I can only hope you make some great memories when you come to STL on Nov 10th.
Glad to hear from you and take care.
Love Ya,

I was at MSG on 10/27. I had never been to a show as a teen. I didn’t knwo what to expect. The show was amazing!!! You guys are awesome. Thanks so much for making a 31yr old very happy–and for being such a huge part of my Middle School/teen years!

That’s exactly how I felt about meeting you guys and seeing you in concert in Detroit last Saturday. I thought once would be enough, that it was such an amazing experience, and that I was so lucky to have that front row center seat that I’d never need to do it again… and yet as I was leaving both the meet and greet and the concert, I already knew that I wanted to do it all over again. I don’t think i’ll ever be able to pass up the opportunity to see you guys live when you’re in town from here on out, whether as a group or as solo artists. I know how fortunate I was to be a part of that experience, and I know that no concert, no event, no performance, will ever even come close to what I experienced that night. But still, I WANT MORE!
Thank you for making all my years of being a fan pay off in one spectacular night, and congrats on MSG and all your other big moments recently… you deserve that and so much more. I said it to all five of you at the meet and greet, but I’ll say it again: I love you!!!
October 29th, 2008 at 10:35 am
Getting to meet you in chiago was a dream come true. You need to come back my picture with you didnt turn out and I need a better one. Thanks for coming back and letting us married moms feel like 15 year old screaming teenagers.
Love
Jenn
October 29th, 2008 at 10:36 am
There’s nothing wrong with wanting more!
You wouldn’t be a fool, you guys have earned all of the accolades and all the special moments you’ve had. You’ve been doing this most of your life, and the passion, the drive, the talent.. it’s all there. I know what you’re saying but… if you want more.. then I hope you get it! If you want to be on that stage again, be in those halls with those famous faces, those influential artists… I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for you that you have that shot.
Of course.. I think at this point, it’s really just a matter of deciding that you really do want it. You know we’ll back you up!
So I guess I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that you’ll decide you want it, that the other guys decide they want it too. We’re here, we’re ready, we’re waiting for ‘what’s next’. What we aren’t ready for is all this to be over…!
Maybe this wasn’t halftime… maybe this was just the pre-show warm-up..?
Love you lots, Mr. Mac!

I agree I completely agree with the magnitude of MSG. When my girls and I (TX 4) traveled to NYC to see you guys on the Today Show in May, we traveled by train to MSG. When we stepped outside we just stood and gawked for a few minutes. We didn’t say anything…none of us had to. We just knew that being in the presence of the Garden was enough in itself. We were overwhelmed. Seeing the NKTV video of all of the entertainers that have graced the stages of MSG only reconfirms my feelings that were present in May. With that said, you guys DESERVE to be on that stage as well. You guys have gone through things as a group that would have corrupted and broken down friendships and relationships. However, you guys have always known that the most important aspect of any group is the dynamics between the individuals. THAT is what you guys have maintained. The friendship and respect for one another survived as has the significance of MSG.
We don’t want this to end. And as your song says “We don’t want to come down” from whatever this thing is. It’s amazing and wonderful and we want more. We know it is difficult in today’s society to lead such an outward and publicized life when you have a family and children and we thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of that.
I’m hoping that “And then again…” is a precursor for much, much more. I know each and everyone of you won’t be satisfied with one tour…you want more…and we want more.
See you next summer.

I wish I could have seen that show. But then again I wish I could go to all your shows! Just seeing you in Cleveland left me wanting MORE!!!! Soak it up and enjoy every moment, Joe! We love you and want you guys to keep coming back again….I hope you never tire of it! Is there any chance of you taping one of your shows and releasing it on iTunes or DVD???? I would love that….
Until next time, XOXOXOXOXO

I loved the video of you guys walking down the hall. Now they need to put your picture on the wall. How about between Frank & Bruce. What about Jordan, was that a big joke or did he really hurt himself? There has been no word from you guys about it. The fan site everyone is saying that it was a prank. I hope it was but if not wish him well and get better by Philly next Wed. I cant wait to see you guys!! I love the blogs and NKTV!!! Keep it comming Love you guys!! Amie
October 29th, 2008 at 11:01 am
There is nothing wrong with appreciating what you have but wanting more.
October 29th, 2008 at 11:04 am
I wish I could have been there to see it. You played MSG on my birthday!!! And technically, I had the time off, but there’s no way my husband would have let me to go to New York just for a concert. Too bad.
Less than 4 weeks till I see you guys in Vancouver and then Seattle. It’s insane to think that your US tour is already half way over. I’ll definitely be looking forward to your summer tour next year. You should really go back to Reno and do the Lawlor Events Center. That would totally bring everything full circle for me. That was where I first saw you back in February 1991!
Love ya!

We Love you!

You guys were fabulous at MSG! I am so happy to have been a part of it. Glad you had a terrific time! Anytime you want to come back, feel free. Really. And you could have made that night last even longer if we all knew where you guys were partying it up! I tried to catch yours and Danny’s Escalade, Joe…I ran for 4 blocks and then my Asthma got the best of me. LMAO. The red lights decided to only be in my favor for so long I guess. Oh, well. Maybe next time.
October 29th, 2008 at 11:17 am
Ahh Joe, wanting more! Now you know what it feels like to be an NKOTB fan, we always want more … of you guys!!

Joe- I’ve been thinking about why you’re feeling a little unsatisfied by your performance, and I think I’ve got it figured out…
YOU MISS SINGING POPSICLE!!!!!
Admit it- just the thought puts a smile on your face.
Well, there’s always next summer, I suppose.

Thanks for sharing Joe. You are soooo teasing us fans aren’t you? This is the second time I have heard you might be back somewhere. First time in Detroit this past weekend. I certainly hope you are having as much fun as we are. It’s great to experience just a little taste of what you all do. Thanks for being you. LOve, Toni B. from Columbus,Ohio xoxox
October 29th, 2008 at 11:48 am
Don’t ever stop what you do Joe Mac! When this awesome ride comes to an end your fans want you back on the Broadway stage and in the studio continuing your awesome solo career.
October 29th, 2008 at 11:49 am
Wow Joe! You left me wanting for more! Sometimes I think you guys should write a book together because of your eloquently written blogs!
Have fun at your shows this week and have a Happy Halloween!! 
Luv ya,
Laura
October 29th, 2008 at 11:55 am
Awesome to hear that Joe! I can’t even imagine the feeling…Something as destined as what you guys are experiencing every concert, with every fan that you meet? Isn’t it a true blessing all around?
Thank you for sharing and thank the guys for keeping in touch when they can. I don’t know how you guys do it, but we are glad that you are here. Have a safe Harvest and looking forward to more blogs, video, and pictures from all of you.
As always, be safe on the road!

Hope everyone enjoyed the show at MSG! I’ve never been there, but one thing on my bucket list is to take a road trip around the US and try and see everything! That is definately one of the places I would love to go to! Hope you all are getting enough rest and having fun!! It looks like your having fun by what Ive seen on NKTV!! I hope to see you all again in concert in Minneapolis. It was the best concert I’ve ever been to!! Hopefully when it’s not chilly out next time. We already got snow here last Sunday, my family and I went to the Zoo out in the snow! It was great! Love your blog!!
Take care ’til next time!

It was a great concert, the best I’ve ever been to. You guys kept the energy up and kept me smiling! I loved the concert and you guys did a wonderful job thanks for the memories

You all came to us when we needed you back in the ’80’s where everything, well shall i say, just plain crazy and confusing. Especially, to us teenage girls who were trying to understand life and live with all its demands. I cant say for everyone, but i can honestly say that when the day was all said and done, closing my bedroom door and putting on my cassette tapes of NKOTB, and looking at all my posters, or cutting out pictures of you guys from “Teen Beat” magazine, it was peaceful, and just gave me a sense of calm. Now, 16 years later, you would think that everyone who ever enjoyed those moments, would be nothing short of GREATFUL that we were blessed to have you a part of our lives one more time. It has to be hard to have women trying to claw their way to just get a glimps of you or touch you, even for a second. You would have thought that those same teenage girls grew into respectable women. That in itself should have been the greatest “thank you” to you. If there are people still fighting over someone talking mean about you guys, or making jokes, or even fighting with one another in this blog, WHICH WE SHOULD BE GREATFUL AGAIN THAT YOU GUYS CAN KEEP SUCH A CLOSE DISTANCE, EVEN ON THE INTERNET, WITH YOUR FANS….There should be no reason to abuse that. We all grew up, and got over the “high school jealousy junk”, right? WE LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH. AND NO MATTER WHAT WE ARE IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL…PLEASE GIVE THIS NEW GENERATION THE SAME POSITIVE LIGHT INTO THE FUTURE THAT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, NKOTB IS LIVING PROOF!
PEOPLE SAID YOU COULDNT DO IT AGAIN, AND LOOK YOU HAVE YOUR GENERATION OF WOMEN WHO HELD YOU CLOSE TO THEIR HEARTS IN THEIR TEENAGE YEARS, AND NOW THOSE WOMENS’ CHILDREN WHO GET TO AS BLESSED AS WE ONCE WERE TO HEAR YOUR WONDERFUL MUSIC ON THE RADIO, the bridge between a mother and daughter that could be the strong point of a perfect relationship between them. You give us that “something in common” that could very well save mom and daughter relationships….thanks guys!
please feel free to contact me if you have time, or i will cross my fingers that you are able to convince everyone that you want to hit Albuquerque, NM on your way to Denver, CO. you cancelled us, i still dont know why..but i am waiting for a reschedule, and NOTHING WILL KEEP ME AWAY FROM SEEING YOU ONE MORE TIME……I SAW YOU WHEN I WAS 8 YEARS OLD, AND I WANT TO SEE YOU NOW AT 32…..LOVE YOU GUYS,

Joe, thank you for sharing your experiences on this tour. I too hope that this is only half-time. I saw you guys in San Jose and I can’t wait to see you again. You do realize that as long as you all want to be on stage we will come to see you, right??
The closest I’ve ever come to MSG was arriving in NYC at the train station underneath MSG (Penn Station perhaps??)! I remember thinking once I came out that I was THIS CLOSE to MSG…
Love you all!!!

Hi Joe,
Your blog just speaks to my heart. It gives us just a small taste of what it must have been like for you to perform that night. If I had been able to, I would have wanted to go to this show to see you all perform in a place with such history. But it was probably a good thing that I didn’t
.
As I always tell my family & friends, the day that I make the trip to NY is the day that I don’t come back
. NY is in my heart.
I think you said it best when you said “photo album of memories in my heart.” I caught my breath on that because I only know of one other person who knows exactly what that means and how that feels. Sometimes our greatest memories aren’t those that we catch with a camera but those that we see with our eyes & our hearts & only live on in our mind’s eye for us to share with those that we choose to. You will have A LOT of memories to share with Griffin & others. A lot more memories that will create a spontaneous smile on your face. That happens to me every day.
That happens to me because of some special people that I met in August who gave me a “photo album of memories in my heart.”
Take care Joe & be seeing you soon
October 29th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
You were all amazing at MSG. I sat on the side stage and I am so honored to have seen you play there and up close. I hope that you can do it again soon. I have been a fan for a long time, all my friends tell me what a loyal fan I am. But all NKOTB fans are loyal cause u guys r the best. You definatly deserve a group picture backstage cause you are a legend to me and so many others. Loving you forever.

Joey,
I am so sorry I just noticed the photo on page four so here is the direct link for sure.

This is exactly what you did to on Joey Mac… my friends and I went to the Montreal Canada concert which was incredible and when it was over we were left wanting so much more like it just started. I really hope by the way that when you guys are back in Canada in November that you will think about adding a Montreal show because we have all agreed that we would be vip passes and would be travelling to see you. There are a lot of East Coast Canadians that would fill the audtiorium and if you do add a Montreal show or even come closer to New Brunswick (we are 8 hours away) like Halifax Nova Scotia very beautiful you guys would love it and they have great lobster, you would so be warming us up because it’s getting cold out and Jordan when you do Baby I Believe in you whoa it’s to hot to even write… take care glad the tour is going great and I love the vlogs they are awesome. Feel like we are going right along with you.
October 29th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
“Don’t get me wrong, I had a blast and now I have another photo album of memories in my heart. But I left that
night wanting more- like it was half-time instead of the end of the game.”—–
This is how WE feel when we see you in concert! I’ve seen you twice, in LA and San Jose, and I am yearning for November when I see you in LA and San Diego. You mean SOOOOOO much to us. And you are not a fool to wish for another. Keep touring and we promise we’ll give you as many opportunities to play at MSG and anywhere else you want as many times as you want!!! WE LOVE YOU!
October 29th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
So I know that I’m not alone in this, but you guys are making us crazy. In my everyday life, I am a perfectly normal 30 yr old woman with a career, husband, and child, and yet when it comes to you guys, I’m a crazy person. I check this site way more than I should. Waaaay more than I should. I won’t say how much, but it’s enough that some might call me a stalker.
And then when I read things you guys write, I find myself trying to decipher what you are trying to tell us…such as the “then again” statement at the end of the blog….You guys know how to get a girls hopes up, and leave us all in suspense, and wanting more. It’s a talent you’ve always had, but it drives me crazy, and the scary part is I think I like it. LOL If you’re coming back around for the summer tour that is all a buzz on these boards, you got to let a girl know, because my original plan was one show. Then it was two. Then it was one regular and on VIP. Then, when that was done, I needed just one more, so I bought tickets the day of, and drove to another state to go. You got all of losing our minds over here. A girl needs time to save her money. I’ve already made plans with some friends, that if you guys make another go round, we are ALL going to ALL the shows in ALL over our surrounding states. It’s an illness I tell you, and I love it.
All my love
Kati
P.S. Donnie thanks for making all my little girl dreams come true, with just one hug in Milwaukee.
October 29th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
Joey, The only way I’ve ever seen MSG was on TV, but I can only imagine that incredible adrenaline that runs through you to be in such a place! You, along with the other guys, deserve it!! You guys are just as great as all the legends on the wall!
Love you lots since ‘86!!!

Wow! I didn’t realize you lived in NYC for so long. I knew you lived there, but not that long.
You make me want to go to MSG and just walk that hall.
One day NKOTB will be on that wall as well. You are a part of that wonderful history there too. Despite of you believe it or not. You are musical icons of your days.
LOVE YOU JOE! As always you have a great way with words.
October 29th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
Bwaha Joey I gotta hand it to you and the guys making a prank video you made Jordan spraining his ankle was really off the hook. Some of the fans were so concerned about Jordan. You sure are a prankster job well done at least it shows you all are having a great time on the tour with all of you guys busy schedule you found time to pull prank :=)
October 29th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
so what you are saying is that there is hope for another tour…we already knew that!!! We want a definite answer!!!!I am so excited to think that maybe you guys will be back around for a third time!!!I hope and hope that us die hard fans can make soooooo much noise for another tour that ya’ll will have no choice!
PS The writing in your blog is beautiful…this coming from an English major.Absolutely beautiful.
October 29th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Thx for the great show @MSG and I LOVE YOU JOE,been waiting for so long!!love you so much and i even named my son Joseph
October 29th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
JOEY! You are one of the greatest artists, all 5 of you are and it is a privilege for me to see you perform. You guys are amazing, thank you so much for all you do and don’t dare to wish for another … MAKE IT HAPPEN! You have all of our support; we’re ready to fill all of the seats up in every venue given the opportunity! We love you!
October 29th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Oh joe….lol the cats out of the bag we all know about the New summer tour Cheesy Cheesy
see u soon joe! DETROIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 29th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
Well I have to admit that although your show in Toronto was awesome, you guys totally ROCKED at MSG! I had really good seats which was a bonus too. Your concert back during the Magic Summer tour was my first concert EVER, and I was hooked ever since. As a male fan I sometimes feel a bit out of place amongst all the shrieking girls. I just enjoy watching the connection you have with the audience and take it all in. I idolized you as a teenager and imagined what it would be like to be up on stage doing what yall do. Thanks for coming back!
October 29th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
From reading others responses, I see you did OL’BLUE EYES last night at MSG…MAN I wish I could have been there to witness, time to get onto YouTube and see if I can find it..
Joe, keep doing what you are doing….you are amazing entertainer and performer.

hehhhhhhheeehhhhhhhhhey joe thanks for sharing the hall of fame at MSG. Really lollllllllllllove the NKTV footage. Saw the show in San Antonio it was awesome a,awesomeaaaawesome. I really enjoyed the Twisted performance. See ya thisttttttttttttttttthis summer! Robin
October 29th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
My sister and I were at the show and it was amazing!! We were there in ‘89 as well on Thanksgiving and I had just a good a time now as I did when I was 13!! It’s so good to have you guys back- you still seem to be the same bunch of fun lovin “kids” out to just have a good time and you prove that you truly enjoy what you do. It’s nice to see that your attitudes and egos haven’t changed but I must say that you all have aged extremely well. Glad to have you guys back and hope to see you around for many years to come!
October 29th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Just wanted to say that I had an amazing time in Chicago Friday night!!!!! From start to finish I had the biggest smile on my face and I didn’t want the night to end. Wish I could be in St Louis on the 10th but there are those nastey things like work and bills that are in the way LOL
Have a great rest of the tour and hope that there is a summer tour!!!!!
October 29th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
My friends and I went to the concert in Toronto and then decided to drive to Michigan to see it again from the 9th row. Absolutely amazing…….best concert ever. We have been waiting for 15 years for this concert and it was totally worth it. Please, please, please come back to Toronto, we have all been signing a petition to get you guys to come back. It would be great for you guys to start and finish your concert in Toronto!
October 29th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
It feels so different once you put it into words. You guys should be up on that wall, with all the other influential entertainers of our time.
I know I don’t want it to end either! I live in Indiana, but flew to Phoenix for the 10/13 show and was entertained all over again, just like I was at 15! I will be at more than one show next tour, for sure- see you on the flip side!
October 29th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
you guys were AMAZING at MSG! i luckily got tickets 3 rows from the floor. i got to see you and the guys run past to get to the second stage. msg was my 3rd show of this tour - each time i see the concert i leave breathless! your frank tribute was super on mon. night. this experience for me has been awesome - you guys will ALWAYS be number 1 in my heart. love you!
jess XOXO
p.s. see you in ac on the 7th!
October 29th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
it’s true - there is something super special about MSG.
and i’d hope it would leave you wanting more! cause we do too!!! i say more shows there wouldn’t hurt ANYONE. you guys put on another AMAZING show - and i loved your little sinatra tribute!!! (dont forget, he was born in JERSEY though, haha).
thanks for another spectacular evening of entertainment.! see you guys in philly!!! section 114, first row - look for me!! hahah. LOVE YOU GUYS!
October 29th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Joe,
You could not have explained it any clearer. After all, what you just said about playing at MSG is how we all feel when we come to your shows. We are amongst music greatness and when it’s the end of the show we all wish it was just half-time as instead of the end of the game. You start off strong, stay on that high and then before you know it its over. Here’s to hoping there will be a Reunion part 2 tour. Dallas was just last week but yet it feels forever ago. Till next time…….

Oh, my god I’m listening to “Elvis an afternoon in the garden” while reading your blog….strange coincidence.
It’s cool, the greatest band in the world played at the same location as the best singer in the world…only 36 years later

Joe - What a emotional blog….but let’s just make it only the first quarter - seems too soon for halftime already!! lol I can’t wait until next summer…in your words “Let’s Get This”!! Enjoy the last couple of weeks in the USA touring - Remember to take a moment and breath in what is happening right now…..you deserve it after all the hard work you’ve done.
Always, Erin
October 29th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Dear Joey, you are so poetic and I love you for that, you speak from the heart x I know what you mean, when you feel that you’ve you have experienced something amazing and felt you’ve been lucky enough to get those memories..why would you ask for more? BUT I felt that about my Boston concerts and soundcheck and meet and greet…..I feel nothing can top that …. yet I WANT MORE. So I’m seeing you guys in Jan in UK!!!!!xxx
October 29th, 2008 at 3:27 pm

I my gosh Joe those words you said just then were that intense that they were beautiful. No wonder your wife loves you. I have never been fortunate enough to visit America let alone Madison Square Gardens. Have seen it lots on TV due to the wrestling (which my husband is fan of). Hopefully one day we see you guys over here in Australia. Tell Donnie I am soooo waiting for my facetime. Please email me on krees1@optusnet.com.au.
Lots of love

Hey Joey,
I was at the MSG show and it was AWESOME!!! I was also at the Nassau Collisum Concert as well… I’m 28 and MSG was my 2nd NKOTB concert EVER. My Mother would not let me go to concerts when I was younger…It was the most AMAZING feeing watching you guys there.. And your speech on the piano was very touching!!! If I wasn’t going for my wedding dress on Nov 8th I would have driven to Mohegan Sun to see you guys again.. I hope you come back to NYC soon! I love the “LETS GET THIS”
XOXOXO
Pam L.
PS.. I saw you in Wicked and you rocked!!!
October 29th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
You know just what to say…
October 29th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Joe Mac,
I was at MSG on Monday night as well as on Thanksgiving Day 1989 which you mentioned at the show to the audience and it sent my heart overflowing…. The show was incredible. LOVED the Frank Sinatra bit. NY truly is a special place. Thanks for the hug at the meet and greet (I was wearing the Donnie = P–P shirt) A one in a mill moment for me.
LET’S GET THIS!
Gilda (Jilda)
October 29th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
I was at the MSG concert too with my best friend. I couldn’t even have imagined how incredible it was going to be. I have been to many concerts there but no other shows really compared to the energy from Monday night. We are still talking about it days later
We are so happy we get to see you guys again at Mohegan Sun because we have that same feeling - that we just need more! You guys are great - thanks for coming back!!
October 29th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
I WAS SO THERE…IT WAS AMAZING…LUV U GUYS….DONNIE<333
October 29th, 2008 at 3:55 pm

October 29th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
You left us all wanting more!!! The concert at MSG was so amazing!!!! When 11:30p hit I couldn’t believe that was it! I am so looking forward to your next visit to NY. Keep doing big things, guys!!!! It’s your time to shine : )
BTW - I am a hardcore Yankee fan!!! Donnie, thank you for the nice switcheroo!!! Have it all on film : )
Enjoy the rest of your tour! See ya in the Big Apple soon (I hope)!

The way you explain MSG I feel like I need to experience it for myself someday…..THANK YOU you for coming back and spending time with the Motor City, I have loved you guys for 20yrs. The feeling of this show was different somehow, in a good way, there was nothing but love and happiness in the arena during a very gloomy time in this country and the city of Detroit - nice to forget about the everyday worries for 1 night.
I didn’t get my Facetime with Donnie, but one day I will!
Please come back soon~

October 29th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
Maybe it is just half time— maybe. Glad we are thinking the same thing. see ya after the half!
October 29th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
“I left that night wanting more”- That is exactly how I felt after leaving the New Kids On the Block Concert on October 10th. I want more! Keep on going Joey, make more music !
October 29th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Must feel incredible…and I hope ya’ll stick around for awhile. Your show def motivated me, and maybe one day I’ll see you guys in a studio somewhere…
October 29th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
As many of us, I was at the MSG as well…there is no word to explain how I felt…did not cry nor went hysterical…I guess I was in my own planet, the NKOTB Planet, dancing, singing (very far from you though…too far) but most of all, I just realized my Baby Girl Dream. I’m probably one of the youngest fans and never had the chance to see you guys on stage until then. I guess the only time(s) you came to Paris on tour, I was still too young anyway and me moving to the US was a blessing (for many reasons but that one too). I’m under shock still, loving it and to those who still think that you’re not worth it, I only have one thing to say: No More Games!! You guys have talent and only those who can’t see it can’t appreciate it. Too bad. Love you guys.Thanks for this amazing show. You just killed it and the Reunion was so unexpected but such a worth…don’t stop it there.Looking forward to meeting you for Real! A Bientot. Tendres Bisous. LeeLoo
October 29th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
JOEY!!!!
You guys were absolutely awesome at MSG! I left that night wanting more New Kids! I am actually thinking of seeing you guys again in Philly……
My voice is still hoarse and my throat still hurts from all the screaming and singing!
Please come back to NY really soon! We love you!!!!
BTW - Joey, your baby is so cute!!! I am so happy for you and your wife (she is very beautiful!)
October 29th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
How you felt at MSG is how many of us fans leave feeling each time we see you guys in concert. It’s magical and yet the time seems to fly. We are left with some of the greatest of memories yet yearn for more. Never getting enough. Enjoy the ride it’s only gonna get better when you make it to Kansas City! Looking forward to it with every heartbeat!
Much love always,
Amanda
October 29th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
HI JOE, I HAD THE HONOR OF BEENING IN MSG ON MONDAY AND IT WAS GREAT!!!WENT WITH MY HUSBAND(HE WAS A TROOPER!!!).. I HAD NEVER GONE TO A CONCERT WHEN I WAS YOUNGER SO NOW I FELT LIKE A LITTLE GIRL AGAIN!!! I HOPE TO SEE U GUYS AGAIN SOON AND IM FLATTERED TO SEE HOW U FELT ABOUT PLAYING IN THE GARDEN AND IN NYC-PLEASE COME BACK !!!!
October 29th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Joey Joe–
First of all…you’re just a little slice of heaven…do you know that?? Thank you for always keeping the fans in the loop…your NKTV vids are too funny (altho the one of J on the stretcher…. not so funny…:Q)
I have to say that MSG was the 3rd time I’ve seen you so far on this tour, and it was….by FAR…..the SICKEST show ever! The energy was umbelievable…the crowd was amazing…you guys were the best I’ve seen you so far…I couldn’t stop smiling and my legs still hurt from jumping up and down the whole night!!!
I can’t wait to see you in AC next week…sadly that will be the last show for me this time around…Such a privilege, I’d be a fool to wish for another.
But then again….
LOVE YOU ALL—
xoxoxo amanda
PS–Tell Donnie I have a whole new respect for him after he put on the Yankee hat!
October 29th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
But then again…there’s always SUMMER 2009 Mr. McIntyre!
Thanks for the blog, I love the way you express yourself. I’m a little verklempt. On the real though, thanks a million times over for coming back, for caring about us, for putting on the best show possible every night in every new town. We love you all to pieces, all five of you…and your families too, for sharing you guys with us. So selfless, so awesome!
Much love and kisses by the millions to you from California

Hi Joe,
Reading this only makes me love you more. You guys rocked MSG on Monday. It was my first NKOTB concert and I am so glad it was there. Do you know how much NYC loves you?
I went down to Penn Station to catch the Subway home after the concert and there were all of your fans, elated from the concert, still singing your songs with smiles on their faces, soaking it up an hour later.
To me, you do belong on that wall next to Frankie, Elton, Mary, Bowie. How many bands can come back 20yrs later and have all that undying love like you guys do? How many fans can look around a packed stadium and be touched so deeply by all of the love shown? Did you feel it Joe? Do you remember the screams? That’s love and NYC loves you. You 5 are a part of us in ways maybe you can’t fathom.
MSG is blessed to have you, wants more and can’t want for you to return. We’ll be waiting…..
With all my love,
Yvette

I did not want to leave. You guys had so much positive energy that was so addicting. I hope that I get to see you in concert again. Until then, I send you all my love and support. NKOTB will be in my heart forever.

Ya’llYa’ll need to give us one more night! I caught the concert in San Antoino and had a blast! But I need to see it one more time! The show was spectacular and left me wanting more. Not to mention the new album, ya’ll have grown into your own and have reached a pinnacle where you can do what you want and it is great!
October 29th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
Joey, you are SUCH a sweetheart and i Love your introspective views on things like THIS! Its off the hook! Its fantastic! You took us THERE at MSG! Even those who have not been there before, YOU gave us the experience and that is awesome and what its all about! I love your heart! You are always so full of spunk and life and I think that is what we adore about you Joey! Its like looking through a kids eyes ALL THE TIME!!! I appreciate all you took the time to share with us fans! I’m so happy for you all, that you HAD THAT moment in time, to feel so blessed and so full of gratitude! You’re not wanting to leave….well, that is HOW we truly feel when we must leave you guys after the show! We feel like we were just getting started and its over! So I sympathize! But the memories can’t be beat! Soak it all up, is the best you can do! We can’t wait to see you soon in southern cali (AGAIN!!)
Let’s do it again and let’s get this baby!

You guys were all wonderful. I loved when you stood on the piano and sang “New York, New York”. Your come back really means a lot to your fans
October 29th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
That’s how I felt when I was in Toronto…instead it was intermission after the first period (at the ACC)…and I wanted more. Then, I saw the second show…intermission after the second period…I wanted more…there was no third show for me…I want more! IT probably doesn’t compare to what you were feeling at MSG and I’ve never been to NYC (and I WILL SOMEDAY!)…take it in Joe! I’m still taking in the ride…over and over and over again. Isn’t it amazing how we see things in such a different light as we get older. Crazy what 15 years can do to you!
Enjoy your ride! YOu deserve it!
October 29th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
CONGRATS JOEY YOU DESERVE IT!!!
WE LOVE NKOTB!!!
WE CAN´T WAIT TO SEE YOU IN MEXICO!!!

My sweet Joey Joe,
I am tearing up as I read your blog. Your words are so touching. I was there on Monday night at MSG. This was my VERY FIRST NKOTB concert and I had the best time of my life!!! You guys are absolutely AMAZING. There was a ton of positive energy and love in the crowd. It was ELECTRIC!!! I didn’t want to leave…I could stare at you all,literally all night long!!!!! Thank you for singing New York, NY. (I loved it because my absolute fave kid sang the song paying homage to my home town :)!)After Monday night you guys absolutely deserve a picture in the back stage hall way at The Garden!! I truly hope that this will NOT be your last time at MSG!!!! I definitely have to see you guys perform again. Believe me, NYC loves you guys, I LOVE you and all of you left us with great memories in our hearts too.
Again, thanks for giving me the time of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All my love,
Clarita
October 29th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
So glad your MSg show went so well .. and i am sure the fans who were there were hopeful it was a 1/2 time show as well. NyC is a very heart racing place as we all know. But some of us Upstate Gals i am sure would love to see you guys up this way as well * Times Union Center * in Albany … Any chance that can be added ? Keep up the fun you guys are all having, Amazing how you guys have hardly changed. And your songs on your new album could make any girl wish they were yours. Your Loved ones are very lucky.
All my Love always

HI Guys
I was that day in MSG was amazing your show. I was excited because was the first concert that I saw in my life with you. I’m from Peru and you never visited my country but is ok I’m happy because you put my country’s name in one of the songs.
I love you so much guys
XOXO
October 29th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Wow Joe! Your words almost made me feel like I was there! I’m so happy you are able to make new memories. For all of us! Can’t wait to see you in Denver!
October 29th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
you have such a way with words…. enjoy the ride….loving you from Toronto
October 29th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
Wow, I had no idea you were so deep Joe! Just wanted to say we are all truely bummed about the Portland Oregon show being canceled. But of course my friends and I will be making the trek to Seattle, we wouldn’t miss you guys for anything! I was always grounded as a kid so this will be my first NKOTB show! I hope you all bring it in Seattle like you did in MSG! Thanks for getting back together!
October 29th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
Very good Joe. I felt like I was actually there as I read that. I saw you guys a couple of weeks ago in Dallas and it seems that ya’ll are really taking it all in. It must blow your minds to get the same response today from all of us “grown up” girls as you did fifteen years ago. I can’t wait to see you guys again.
October 29th, 2008 at 7:18 pm

I was there at MSG!!! I love the show. It was great!!! The NKOTB was great.
October 29th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
With all the new arena’s and stadiums being built in this country and around the world, only one has stood the test of time…MSG. It’s the one place, no matter how many times you walk past, go inside for an event, or even in your case-play the venue, it has never changed. Even though I do not live in New York, as a little girl, I would dream of someday going to MSG. It’s that one place that no matter who you talk to, everyone knows about. It’s a staple of America! Hopefully it will never change it’s name and live on for many generations to enjoy.
Hopefully you and the rest of the guys will come back on tour to NYC and get a chance to stop again at MSG. But, you know, live and love every moment on stage there. Soak it up!! It’s always better the second time around.
October 29th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Joe,just like you I was moved by being at THE GARDEN,last time I saw you guys I was 15 now 35 weird,it felt so much more special this.You did a great job with NYNY,I loved it.And when you said the first time you were there was 3/24/89 at the circus I went crazy cause I was there too that was the day I fell in love with NKOTB!!I FOLLOWED NKOTB ALL OVER NYC & EVERYWHERE I COULD WHEN I WAS A KID AND WAS LUCKY TO HAVE MEET YOU ALL MANY TIMES. BUT NOW I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ALL FOR SO MANY DIFFRENT REASONS,NOT FOR A SILLY PICTURE BUT FOR A REAL CONVERSATION TO TELL YOU HOW MANY GREAT MEMORIES I HAVE WHEN I WAS WITH NKOTB. THANKS FOR THIS TOUR I COULD’NT BE HAPPIER.ROXANN nyc XOXOX

Thanks for sharing with us a bit of your thoughts and perspective on MSG. I am completely oblivious to that! lol But ask me about cleaning house, laundry, and raising kids and you’ll get an earfull!! lol I totally enjoyed you guys here in Vegas. The best to all of you!!!
October 29th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
I always look forward to your blogs Joey!! It’s amazing that your comeback has been so successful, not that I didn’t think it would be, it is just as crazy as it was 17 years ago, and I am enjoying every minute of this awesome ride!! I so wish I could have seen you guys perform at MSG, but I was lucky enough to see you guys in Milwaukee and both Chicago shows, which the last one ROCKED!! I think you are a AMAZING performer, you have such a gift, a gift to entertain, and you do it so well, I could watch you forever!
I hope that you and the rest of the guys are around for a LONG time to entertain all us fans again and again…LOVE YOU JOEY!!
Hope to see you next summer, come visit us Chicago girls AGAIN, we WELCOME you with open arms!!

October 29th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
Joe,
Words cannot express my reaction to your return. We had the chance to see you in Chicago on Oct 24. I have to admit we thought we may be having a good laugh as you all “try” to make a comeback. I was blown away. It was truly the best performance I have ever seen. You guys sounded better, moved better and of course looked better:)You were my first crush and that was reignited that night. I am proud to say I am as big of a fan as I was when I was a teen. Keep it up…your journey is far from over.
October 29th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Dear Joey and to the rest of the guys I want to take a moment and say thank you to each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart.I attented the Monday night show at MSG and got to meet amd greet with you which was a total dream come true 20 yrs later this one in a million chance comes my way. I never had the opportunity to see you in concert or meet with you up close and personal until the other night I’ve alway been a true fan of yours since I was a little girl “1987″ which I was 5yrs old back then and I am now 26yr and all grown up but I am so greatful you have given us the fans the chance to fall in love with you all over again to embrace many of yours and our childhood memories and to beable to create many new one that will stay in our hearts and minds for many many more years to come. I went to the N.K.O.T.B. concert for the very first time the othher n
October 29th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
Joey……..I think it’s great that you have such warm memories of performing back then and now at MSG! Thanks for sharing that..you are so sweet
Your videos are always so funny and entertaining so keep doin em! You keep me wanting more footage of you guys everytime and it doesn’t hurt that your nice to look at too!
October 29th, 2008 at 11:25 pm
Well Joey Mac…who knew you were so darned insightful?! I think you deserve the second half of your game at Madison Square Garden. Come on back and play.
October 29th, 2008 at 11:55 pm

Hey Joe, how you doing?
It is the first time you write something, and surely it will be impossible to read this.
I have seen hundreds of messages you send and I am aware that you can not read or respond to almost anyone.
I have only a small hope that judge come to Spain, here we are a people very happy and affectionate.
A very big kiss
Hola Joe,como te va?
Es la primera vez que te escribo algo,y seguro que será imposible leer ésto.
He visto los cientos de mensajes que os mandan y soy consciente que no podeis leer ni responder a casi nadie.
Solo tengo una pequeña esperanza de que decidais venir a España,aqui somos una gente muy alegre y cariñosa.
Un beso muy grande
October 30th, 2008 at 3:30 am
By the way, here are 11:30 am
October 30th, 2008 at 3:43 am
Joe, thanks for giving us your idea of excitement to have played in MSG.
Make us share these feelings is the best thing that a guy can do.
I hope you all things good and get more satisfaction in artistic and personal life.
ITALY IS READY!!!
IT’S WITH YOU!!!
IS WAITING FOR YOU!!!
…DON’T FORGET IT!!!!!!!
October 30th, 2008 at 4:01 am
Joe, as a teacher, your words are creating a picture in my mind that make me feel I am right there with you! (Maybe, it cause report cards are just around the corner:). I am so happy to read how passionate you are about all of this and about MSG! Keep up the great work. You are making memories for all of us and for that we thank you! Lots of love, Kelly xoox
October 30th, 2008 at 5:17 am

It was like walking a dream and now its over :(… Thank goodness for this site and you tube so I can watch you whenever.. But Is there any way you guys are going to make a DVD of the tour???

When you guys were in Brazil (about 18 years ago) my parents refused to take me to see you. Yesterday the little 10-year-old girl that stll lives in me had her wishes fulfilled. Thank you sooooo much for coming back! The show last night was phenomenal! Joey you’re still the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!This blog entry gave me goosebumps!
PS: Nice ass, Donnie! ;)LOL
October 30th, 2008 at 5:47 am
thanks Joe for sharing your experience with us, please let us Italian fans enjoy the show, too. WE NEED YOU IN ITALYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
October 30th, 2008 at 6:43 am
I saw you guys last night in Atlanta with two buddies and let me say… your show was SO much more than I ever expected. I bought tickets just thinking it would be a fun bit of nostalgia on the eve of my 30th birthday, but WOW was it so much more. I sit here the following morning exhausted from dancing, my voice completely gone and my face literally HURTS from smiling and screaming so much. I went with two friends I did not meet until college, but suddenly we were all 12 again, sharing an experience that we did not get to share together the first time but this time around… it was so much better!
We did not know it at the time, but we suddenly realized once the show started that we got the special chance to be directly next to Stage 2. Crammed right next to the barricades, with fans pushing in behind us, we screamed, danced and reached out our hands like crazy people!! I am almost 30 and there I was, screaming in my friends face, “Jordan winked at me!” It’s fun to let go like that and forget about being an “adult” for an evening.
Thanks so much for putting on a great show - it genuinely shows that you guys still “have it” (perhaps even more so now) and are enjoying yourselves. Your show was probably a little more “PG” back in the day and I loved how the show seemed to be more mature and and sexy… just like your fans! Thanks for letting a generation of women let loose and be crazy for a night - may we all discover that uninhibited inner child again… in our every day lives!
October 30th, 2008 at 6:47 am
Goosebumps…serious goosebumps time.
Here’s hoping that sometime in the next 19 years I’ll get to see you guys play at MSG..!
Did you know that you posted this blog on the 19th anniversary of the day you guys played at the London Arena during the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party? Course you didn’t know…but I’m a geek and I remember these things…helps that it was also the 19th anniversary of the day I became a fan, seeing that
Much love,
Helen xxx

Joe, thanks for your blog. I know you guys must have been so pumped to perform at MSG. I wish I could have been there..oh wait…I wish I could be at all of your shows, lol! I know that it meant alot to you to be able to perform once again on that stage. Although I wasn’t there, I know that you guys rocked the house, just like you did in Dallas! Thanks for all of the blogs, we love reading them!!! I hope that the rest of your tour is GREAT! Be safe on the road! I LOVE NKOTB!!
Your #1 Oklahoma fan!

Joey, Your show last night in ATL was so amazing… thanks for making it about the fans. Your energy is contagious! Truly the best show I’ve ever been to. 15 years- worth the wait! Some things just don’t change- you are all still so very hot and talented! Loved every minute of the show- come back to the dirty south soon! xoxo Adrienne
October 30th, 2008 at 7:52 am

October 30th, 2008 at 10:01 am
So glad you’re wishing for another…. xx
October 30th, 2008 at 10:18 am
Hey, Joe. You’re only 35- don’t worry, I didn’t say it so loud. =) I think you will perform at MSG again, either with the New Kids, or with you’re own show. You are an amazing singer and performer.
I hope to see you in concert and meet you in Cincinnati this summer. This is the first tour I have not been to, and it’s making me a little upset. I am worried it could be the last with the New Kids. (You all do have families and other solo projects, too.) So if you all have it in you to keep touring next summer, please come to Cincinnati. It’s a great city for families! =)
Loving the new album!

October 30th, 2008 at 10:32 am
I never been to MSG all my life. It was great experience time of my life in Detroit last Saturday. Nice to meet you and the guys and the concert was great!! Love it so much.

October 30th, 2008 at 10:33 am
i was at the MSG show and what a show it was!!! you guys ROCKED the garden, it was such a great concert. i went to your show at the IZOD Center and i didn’t think it could get better than that, but the show at the garden was electric! so glad you guys are back on tour- hope to see you in AC!!
October 30th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Tha’ts so asuwer d think that is just awesome that you had such a great time performing at MSG. I am sure the fans had a great time watching you guys. I was at the concert in Chicago, and have been dying for more concerts in Chicago or anywhere in Illinois. Is there going to be a summer tour? I hope there is. I can’t get enough of New Kids on the Block!!!!!
October 30th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
YEEEEA!!!! SPAIN IS READY!!!! I MISS YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!
October 30th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Ode to New Kids
Our love affair began long ago when I was just a child
But my love for you was real and my passion never mild
Your posters covered my walls and your bubble gum cards, well I had them all
Rather you were hangin tough or taking it step by step, it was the best I ever saw
The way you all danced in sync with each other with voices like angels from above
Not to mention your great fashion sense that made all the girls fall in love
And now tonight, we will meet again after all of these long awaited years
I have no doubt when I lay my eyes on you, it will bring me to tears
So, men, LISTEN UP - I am here to tell you, tonight IT IS ON
Because this MILF is getting ready sing along!
XOXO,
Wendy
October 30th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
I am so happy to hear that you had a great time at the MSG. I had a great time at you Chicago concert. You guys mentioned a possible “summer” tour. Are you really going to have one? I REALLY hope you are!! I can’t get enough of you. I hope you come back to Chicago or just some where in Illinois. I love you guys! Listening to you and going to your concerts again, have brought back SO many memories!!~ Thank You!!!!
I can’t wait to see you again!!!!!!!! I need more NKOTB!!!! Okay and I have to say, I REALLY need some more Donnie!!!
October 30th, 2008 at 3:29 pm

A deep post, like your mind is buzzing and reflective with the then and now eh. Got a presentation I gott work on, but to let the Joey Mac know I am watching out for and enjoying every post

Why did you guys cancel your Portland, OR show? I am quite traumatized. My dreams of seeing you guys live again disappeared in a flash. Due to the current state of the economy I won’t be able to travel for a show so I was really hoping to hear that you would reschedule. But I haven’t been able to get any information. I can’t believe that I can actually reach out and communicate to you guys in this way. Imagine if we could have done this 18 yrs ago! Anyway I am really bummed! My birthday is that weekend and I know it would have been the best bday ever.
P.S. My 2 yr old is singing The Right Stuff. He started singing it one day when I wasn’t even playing the CD. I didn’t even teach him. It’s crazy the things they pick up.
October 30th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Joe,
My friends and I cried, screamed and smiled so hard our cheeks hurt til the next morning. Thank you guys for making us feel so young and exuberant. It was a true blessing to see you all perform. And if my friends and I have one wish it would be to have another moment with you all at Madison Square Garden. “If I can make it there, I can make it anywhere…” Come back soon. xoxoxoxox
October 30th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
Joe
What an awesome post. You are truly an amazing, beautiful man and have been very blessed in life. It’s neat to read your reflections and see how you have grown over the years. Looked up to you in grade school and very much still do as a 28 year old! Thanks for allowing so many of us to travel back to the simpler days and act like young girls again! “See you in St. Louis!”
October 30th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Joey Joe…..
What a great blog! You sound like your really drinking it in and that is so awesome!!! I love that your all enjoying it so much! I hope you know how much that means to us! We love seeing you 5 back together and I know we are all loving the new cd!!! I am so hoping to get a chance to meet you in Salt Lake in 2 weeks (since the M&G in Vegas went by so fast and you were the only one I didn’t get to talk to) Keep enjoying the ride and I’ll see you soon….Much Love!
October 30th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Joe - please oh please let there be another tour next year!!! I thoroughly enjoyed the videos before the MSG show. Glad you have had such a wonderful time thus far, you and the guys are phenomenal. Unfortunately the Chicago shows are done, but I will have to keep looking at videos to re-live the show. Hope to hear from you again soon!

What a memorable experience for you & the guys, wish I could have been there too. You were AMAZING here in ATL!!!! When you came out into the crowd on the smaller stage & I was able to touch your hand….it was something that I’ll never forget and it was worth waiting 15 years for! Thank you so much for bringing back all the memories of when I was young! I think I’ll be giddy for at least the next month! I love you guys! Have fun on the rest of your tour and stay true to yourselves!
October 30th, 2008 at 5:55 pm

October 30th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Joey Joe Mac!!!
You are so great to write these blogs!!! You are teasing alot of girls out there! Are you hinting that is is true about the Summer Tour????? I hope so because I will so be up front at every concert around TX with my new friends that I have met on here.((including Melissa :)) And you can bet I will be 5*!!!! I need my face time!!! Have a great show and everyone be careful!!
Loving you always!

Joe, it makes me so happy that you and the New Kids are back with us!! And I’m so happy for you that this amazing tour process that is bringing such joy to all of us fans is also bringing joy and awe and inspiration to you, and in such a variety of ways!
October 30th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
Had a blast at the Atlanta concert last night! Thank you all for all the memories. The show was amazing and even better than imagined. My favorite part was when you guys came out to the piano in the center of the arena. We were pretty far back and could see you better from there. Hope you come back again and, remember, eat plenty of Waffle House. Still my fave!
Keep rockin!
October 30th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
Joe, I enjoy all the blogs, but I love it when you or Donnie put pen to paper!
October 30th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
I just love your sense of humor. Period
October 31st, 2008 at 7:59 am
I was at the MSG show and it was amazing! It brought back so many memories. The last time I saw you guys in concert I was probably around 14, I am now 30, and I got goosebumps when you guys took the stage. The electricity in The Garden was electric. And you had to love when Donnie put the NY Yankees baseball cap on! He showed NY the love!
October 31st, 2008 at 8:54 am
Your truly awesome! I’ve had the pleasure of seeing you guys three times, and can’t seem to get enough of it. I haven’t been able to meet you yet, but hoping one day I’ll have a chance to meet those blue eyes
You were too cute when you came out of Jordan’s bus after the DC show….I can still see you doing that little dance. …lol.. I loved it! Hoping for this 2009 summer Tour!
I need some face time!
Always Joey Mac

Joe,
You truly have the heart of a poet. Thanks for all the love you show your fans - I can only imagine how exhausting it was. I was at the first show in Chicago and then the one in Milwaukee and while I didn’t get to meet you, it was still wonderful to see you on stage doing what you love. You are an amazing performer! Much love

When I saw that footage of you up on that piano singing Frankie I was just so happy for you because that must have been a magical moment! The bit where you sang “It’s up to” and on “you”, every single person stuck an arm in the air and pointed at you, that must have been such an awesome sight from where you were standing.
I heard a radio interview where you said that taking Griffin to the Central Park Zoo even topped performing as MSG, and you could tell what a proud daddy you are, could hear it in your voice.
You’re just an amazing man, JoeyJoe. Keep on doing what you do best. And because I’ve already hassled both Jon and Donnie about this in their blogs, pretty please come and do it down here in Australia before too long. We’d LOVE to see you guys Down Under.
lotsa love
Jo

I have not had the pleasure of MSG, but have seen you in the heartland and the south and think that we rock. I thank you all for your show at Charlotte last night– it was a dream come true. I also want to extend the invitation for breakfast. Normally, my edit button is on…I am naturally shy and at the meet and greet was unable to say a whole lot, but out in the crowd I offered bacon and eggs. What else would a southern woman cook for her man in the morning? ( well, maybe grits too) Loved the reaction, thank you for the memories. Come back to the south soon.

Happy Halloween all! Joe, just wait til your son is old enough to trick or treat, it is so much fun. I really didn’t like Halloween as a kid-the dressing up part
But now that I have my son that is 3 yrs old I enjoy it more cause I get to pick is costume, dress him, and see him so happy to knock on doors. Though this is only the second year he is into it.. his first he was 5 months and the second a year old but didn’t care to go anywhere. The costume was a waste!
Anyway, Joe and fellow NK. I was at Madison Square Garden Monday and I LOVE IT. It was my 3rd Nk concert. One when I was 16 in New Jersey, last September at Nassau and this past one. If there was another one on Long Island or NYC I would go again. I just can’t get enough of you guys. I NEVER want you guys to leave the stage!!!. It never seems enough!!!
It’s funny cause B4 the concert I watched some of your old videos that my friend Erick sent me. Yep, a guy who really likes NK. I have been friends with him for 5 yrs and didn’t know that till I talked to him a few weeks b4 the concert. He moved to Georgia otherwise he would of been my date+)Anyway, I watched the video “This one’s for the Children.” and then that video made me remember I had lost the X-mas CD. Then remembering I lost that CD made me think of the radio that I lost it in, which an ex boyfriend I broke up with gave me. Then I thought of him and how stupid I was to break up with him…..and so on….LOL memories keep flowing from just one song..it is CRAZY!
I look at the crowd and all I can think is WOW how unreal it seems to me that you guys sell out!! I got tickets too late so I was section 310. But cause I was on the side I could still see you guys pretty well without the screens. I took some pics with my cell phone. One of you Joe is the best singing “Stay the same”. Some good one’s of Jordan too.. but the others didn’t come out good and I can’t even tell who it is.. I was just clicking away!!
Okay, I gotta go cause my son is driving me insane!!
Love ya all,
Michelle

Joe,
LET’S GET THIS!!!!!!!! Awesome Atlanta show! Thanks.
October 31st, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Joe, you guys coming back to us (fans) is like having your first love come back in your life! Thats how it feels to me. U guys were my first “boy band” and I was going through hard times then and u guys helped me through by your music. You guys touch alot of lives without even knowing it. You sure have touched my life. Now, I have a daughter and you guys are touching her life. We listen to The Block together all the time! She wants to come to a concert! She’s 14. So having a night out with my teenage daughter-PRICELESS! Thanks so much! We Luv U! Allison&Courtnee P.S. Please come to Lou.Ky!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO THE NKOTB!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS
October 31st, 2008 at 9:50 pm
Dear Joey,
first of all, HAPPY HALLOWEEN to you. I hope that you enjoy this Holiday.
I know exactly how you must have felt while playing at MSG, I bet you had this ” somebody please pinch me ” - feeling. A kind of awareness of the things around you… more than you did before, almost as an outer-body-experience or as if you are standing right next to yourself… to good to be true in some way.
But don’t wish for it again, let it just happen.
Let it go for now and keep the memories dear, then it might open up once more. Sounds funny ? Yeah, but most of the times it is true ! As I have said before: Soak up all the nice moments !!
Oh and Joe, please give my regards to your wife…HER Hubby does an awesome Job !! - Thanks for coming back.
Love,
Stefanie

OMG Atlanta is HOTLANTA once more!!!!! The concert was WAY more then expected and was greatly appreciated! Alas there were 5 WAFFLE HOUSES on my way back to the hotel but none with you in it. I could have used some FACETIME in Atlanta but that is ok I will get mine shortly. Joe on a personal note I don’t know if you do read these blogs are not (I hope you do) because this is a little serious. Your part of the concert was TERRIFIC (I mean the whole music part)but yours fans were treated like CRAP at the Gwinnett Center. I was one of the MANY 4 star VIP ticket holders that had to wait 15 minutes after the doors opened to finally get our tickets after being yelled at by the box office, cursed at, pushed around, and talked down to. I hate to complain but there were ALOT of 4 star ALL ACCESS VIP ticket holders that had to stand in line for over 1 1/2 hours waiting for our tickets and getting continuously yelled at by the box office for being in line waiting (and yes we were adults, no yelling or fussing, just orderly waiting in line). I assume you guys are aware of the price we paid for our tickets (WELL WORTH IT FOR YOU GUYS BTW)but if I were you guys I would have someone contact the center with a nasty gram of not-gratitude. Also after we were seated a lady in a wheel chair had seats behind me and they were asked her why she couldn’t get out of her wheel chair and sit in a regular seat like everyone else and she kept saying because I can’t walk at all. So that is just something I wanted to say. I know you guys wouldn’t be here again without your fans sticking with you and I would hope that you would like to know when your hard working fans (especially shelling out hard money during this time) is driving 5 hrs to see you is getting treated like a piece of crap. WE LOVE YOU GUYS AND AS FOR ME I WOULD DRIVE 5 HRS AGAIN AND SPEND THAT MONEY AGAIN TO SEE YOU BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO MISS THIS CHANCE TO DIRTY DANCE WITH A GROWN MAN!!!!
And BTW I am driving not only another 5 hrs but add additional 5hrs one way to see you guys in Kansas City MO, this time I will get some FACETIME with a 5 star VIP ticket!!!! Like I said YOUR FANS LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, AND WE WANT TO SEE YOU GUYS PERFORM AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!!
Just hope that maybe you might read this because I really think you don’t want your fans treated that way again.
Love always and forever,
April

Joe, OMG!!!! I went and seen you guys In Milwaukee Wi. You guys still rock!!! The last time that I seen you guys I was 17 years old and lived in Florida. Now I’m 32 and live in Michigan. My niece and I drove 6 hours to see you guys, and boy was it worth it!!!! We were sad when the concert ended!!! We could have stayed all night to here you guys. We got great pictures though. I wish that we could have got you guys autograph!!!! one day it will happen. SO keep on giving us your fans great concerts and hurry up and come back to Milwaukee Wi So We can see you guys again. Also you guys should make a special trip to a place called Ste Saint Marie Mi at the casino and do a concert cause I’d be there in a heart beat!!!!! Love ya!!!!!!!!!!! Peachez-Manistique Mi

Donnie,Jordan,Joey,Danny & Jonathon..
Okay so here it goes…I don’t know if you’ll read this or if anything will come from this but I have to try.
About 3 Sundays ago, early in the morning my younger sister Samantha who’s 22 yrs old got into a severe car accident. She was out with her boyfriend drinking and when it came time to leave the bar she did what everyone should do and she handed the keys over to her sober boyfriend and asked him to drive her car home. He ended up falling asleep at the wheel anyway and they crashed through a telephone pole and flipped. He walked away fine but my sisters side of the car was completly totaled. …and my sister…well she didnt get to walk away that easily. She had to be pulled out of the car by her boyfriend because the car was upside down and leaking gasoline and my sister had horrible trama to her face and wouldve bled to death otherwise- she was rushed to the hospital where she had to undergo emergency plastic surgery on her face to stop the bleeding. She had lacerations from the top of her forhead straight down over the bridge of her nose over the top of her eye and through her eyelid….the surgeon did a wonderful job at fixing it as much as possible but she might have to go back for another surgery on her eyelid. I get so upset talking about this because here is this gorgeous 22 yr old young woman who was trying to be responible and looked what happened? …My point of telling you this…or anyone this is because me & my sister had just bought tickets to see you guys @ MSG oCT 27TH…. for obvious reasons she couldnt go. I’d really like to do something special for my sister and Im hoping this is it…We’ve both loved u guys since we were little kids and I know it’d be a dream come true for her to meet you and see you in concert. Im her big sister and where in normal terms she should be looking up to me…i now find myself looking up to her. Her strength..Her constant smile and positivity…i do catch her crying sometimes but all she says is ” at least im alive…i just dont understand why this happened, i did the right thing didnt i?” …Im supposed to be the one to protect her and if i couldve taken her place i wouldve…but i cant and i look at her now and realize shes my hero. My little sister is my hero. I feel like if i can do this for her…If shes able to meet all of you and go to one of your concerts that it might fix things alittle…Make her smile alittle more and realize good things do happen to good people. Im going to leave this on here and on the community site also…in the hopes someone will read this…ive actually posted this twice and someone keeps removing it…which i dont really know why. Thanks for listening
November 1st, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Joe-U’d be a fool to stop wishing..never stop…thats when ur life and dreams end…keep wishing…
November 1st, 2008 at 10:09 pm
Theres that hint at the idea that there will be another concert…I like it! Sign me up! I will be first in line for tickets here in Las Vegas, and this time I will go all out! I am talkin meet and greet, and everything! My friends convinced me last time not to do it, and I believed them! Big mistake!
Keep hinting guys!!!!
(ya know Im a little hurt that no one mentioned the Las vegas concert, none of the 5 of you blogged about it. Maybe we are just use to getting mentioned here, but I thought the concert deserved at least a mention in the blog…come on! And the after party? No one throw an after party like Vegas, and LAX does! Throw us a bone here, guys!)

Hey Joe,
Just wanted to say you guys rocked MSG! I loved the show & you were awesome singing New York, New York!
Even my friend (not a NK fan!) had a blast & loved the NY, NY song you did.
Thanks for the awesome memories and see you in Europe 2009!
Love,
ElsKe from Belgium

Dear Joe!
I discovered recently that you came back. I was watching an interview with Mark Wahlberg. I was very surprised!
It is as if I had come back to my adolescence, I began to remembered those good old days when each new or revised interview on television or clip again, I was there … The funniest thing is that I have so far saved the journals, photographs and comics of the NKOTB.
I’m from Brazil and followed a little of the life of you after 1994. We had more news of Donnie who did this excellent series Band of Brothers and about you and knowing that I was still singing, but nothing came out here, just the Internet that we have a material.
I think hard the return of NKOTB to Brazil, but know that there are fans here too!
I wish much love and peace for all.
Love!

Hey I was supposed to be in NY with you all. Then, I tried to come to Charlotte. Will you ever come to SC? Is this it…your only tour? How do you get a back stage pass?
November 2nd, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Joe-MSG was amazing. My 3rd concert this tour and by far the best. Ive been to a bunch back in the day and saw you solo and in Tick Tick Boom (by the way-u are a great actor too) Seeing you sing New York, NY was awesome. I cant wait to see you on November 7th in Atlantic City. I hope I get to dance with you at the after party. Please come back soon.
Love Always,
Jeanine
November 2nd, 2008 at 1:48 pm
I wish I was there!!! and I’m hoping you guys do another show! I won’t miss it next time!!!
You guys rock every place you play..but the MSG..Wow!! That is BIG!!!
I’m so proud of you!!!
Can’t wait to see you again!! (Just a few more days!!)
Looove ya!!!!

PS: Thanks for keeping in touch Joe!!
November 2nd, 2008 at 4:46 pm
You 5 guys have made my childhood dreams come true! I was at the Oct.27th concert at MSQ. I know how much of a “big deal” it is to play at that venue and how lucky I was to see you there. I never got a chance to see you perform live as a kid, which is something I’ve always regretted. That part of my life, now at 28 years old, feels complete! The show was sooooo inspiring! I was amazed at how you guys could come back after 14 years and still fill Madison Square Garden to the brim with screaming fans. It just goes to show that anything is possible! Thank you so much for the old an new memories! I look forward to see you again!
With love always,
Carrie xoxo
November 3rd, 2008 at 7:27 am
Hey Joe, It was such an honor meeting you in Fort Lauderdale Saturday. Even though I’m just one of the many faces–just know it’s one of those special days that I will always remember! I met you when Face the Music released and your solo album Stay the Same (such an inspiration to me, thank you, your words in your songs have meant so much to me! Thanks for the hug during Face Time, you were my first crush, i forgot to tell you; also, congrats on being a father–now that’s what life is about! xoxo Kelly
November 3rd, 2008 at 5:35 pm
Hey Joe… I am still waiting for guys guyz to return back to New Zealand… whats the haps mate… Mea
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:34 pm
Joey,
You were amazing at MSG. It was my first concert and I was blown away by all of you. You need to continue making songs and playing concerts. I want to see another concert very soon. I enjoy listening to your solo songs. They are on my ipod and I sign them all the time. I wish I could see you in person. Maybe one day.
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:10 pm
The MSG show was awesome! I am a born and raised New Yorker and there is just something special about Madison Square. I have seen many shows there and I have to say this show was just amazing. There was such energy and love and no one wanted it to end. You guys are just such a joy and I am so happy I was there to experience it. I will never forget it. Glad you had a wonderful time at the show and thanks for the added treat of Frank Sinatra. Hope that you guys come back around. I can’t get enough!
November 4th, 2008 at 8:29 am
Joe,
You made my friends daughter cry in Detroit. Yes, she was the one in the 2nd row and you were so kind to wave and blow kisses and give her a backstage pass! Her mom almost didn’t get to go back with her, tough security! My sister and I tried our best to follow them but we didn’t make it back to see you either! She still talks about your fuzzy soft green sweater and her picture with you is hanging in their family room! You really made a 14 year olds night…thank you so much! I still wish I could have met you but thats okay, I am just glad she did! We have great pictures from Chicago, great pictures from Detroit and we will soon have great pictures from Uncasville…yes we are driving 12 hours from Columbus, Ohio to see you! Its going to be a great 12 hour road trip on Saturday and a 12 hour return on Sunday to be at work at 6:30 AM on Monday! You guys are totally worth it! Maybe next round you will have some tour stops in Columbus or Cincinnati, Ohio? See ya Saturday!! xine4uc@aol.com
November 4th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
If you did it anything like you did in Charlotte then man it was good! For my b-day I got a ticket for your Charlotte show. So myself and a group of friends made the 4 hour trip and I got about an hour of sleep for work Friday…but let me tell you! It was SO worth it! I forgot that I was 32..I felt 16 again! Couldn’t have been better! Thanks for all you’ll do! Keep going…next time lets shoot for Charleston, SC.
November 4th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Hey guys! I loved your MSG show! My hubby brought me for my 31st birthday (which is today!). My first concert was to see you guys at the York Fair in York PA in 88 or 89. Joey, you were my first crush and I still love you. My hubby indulged my crush once when you were on TRL and he was interning at MTV news (before we were married) and he came down to meet you and got your autograph for me.
Hey Donnie-my sister-in-law works with your brother (the one that’s a chef). Don’t know the name of their restaurant, I just know she said they work together and sometimes you go there for dinner with your family.
I just wanted to let you guys know what a great time I had at MSG, even my hubby, who was reluctant at first, enjoyed it
Thanks for the add on myspace!

i dont know how often you guys do read this but i wanted to say like everyone i am glad to see you have a comeback tour and it be successful. i can only hope there will be more because i know i wont get to experience this one just like i couldn’t 20 years ago. Then was because of a mother not realizing how happy it would make her daughter, and now because i am a mother and cant take away from my kids just to make me happy . i live to see them smile, i couldnt live with myself if i took the only chance i had to buy them christmas presents and bought tickets instead,have fun and rock every city.
November 5th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Don’t know if you will see this, but I just wanted to say that the show at MSG was truly amazing. Joe you have really become such a wonderful performer. I just also wanted to say thank you for taking the time to take a pic with my cousins on your way into MSG. You made our day, wish I could have been in the pic also, but someone had to take it. I hope that you enjoy the rest of your tour, enjoy every minute of it you deserve it. Congrats on being a dad your son is adorable.

November 5th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Just reading your words take my breath away. I saw you guys in Charlotte last week and the show was fabulous! Age has been very good to you, and your wife is so lucky! Thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories of my teenage years, and since the concert now I have more. Does your son have your baby blue eyes?
November 7th, 2008 at 9:08 am
I am so glad you guys have re-united for this tour! My girlfriends and I went to the Sunday show in Boston back in September. Since my parents, back in the day wouldn’t allow me to go to concerts, I couldn’t pass up this opportunity. We made posters, my lime green “I Love Joey” w/ a big read heart on it went way beyond tacky, but SO appropriate. After all, who doesn’t appreciate a nice compliment, right? I was blown away by the show…speachless and w/ misty eyes for the first 10 minutes. Totally star struck, and giddy to say the least. The energy from the audience was amazing, everyone truly wanted to be there…there were smiles ear to ear. My girlfriend sent me a text Thursday (yesterday) morning telling me she got us tickest for the Providence show that night…I was SO excited. The seats were great, and ironically enough I saved the lime green sign (I would have parted with it eventually…a few yaears from now) and off we went. As you guys ran down the isle after performing on the piano, Joey got a glimpse of my sign and blew me a kiss…I almost fell over! Thank you, recognition feels so good. I’m married with 2 small kids, and my children have helped me realize it is the little things in life that mean so much. That simple gesture will be a memory that will last. Thanks for the great shows! xo Lisa, MA
November 7th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
