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

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.

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

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);)

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

Hey Joe??? Where is Donnie??
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

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!!
Welcome to the club! Can’t wait for anot
