New Kids on the Block Live
New Kids on the Block Live was the fifth concert tour by American band New Kids on the Block and the first in 14 years since the group broke up after their last tour in 1994. In April 2008, the group reunited on the Today Show, announcing a new album and tour.[1] The tour visited North America and Europe.[2][3] The tour took place from the fall of 2008 through the summer of 2010. Each year, the tour was revamped with new staging, setlist and tour name. In 2009, the tour was acknowledged as The "Full Service Tour"[4] and in 2010, the tour was known as the "Casi-NO Tour".[5]

The 2008–2009 tour was chronicled on the documentary, "Coming Home". The film featured a behind the scenes process of the group making the latest studio album, "The Block" and preparation for the upcoming tour. The footage is interlaced with performances of their biggest hits. It also features a new song "Coming Home", which was a potential addition to the album. The song was performed for the first time at the Toys for Tots benefit show.[8] The group describes the fill as "a love letter to the fans".[45] As a part of the promotion of releasing the documentary, NKOTB held a "Demand Us!" contest where fans could "demand" that NKOTB come to their city and host a DVD screening party at a local theatre. The cities that won were New York, Seattle, and Wheeling, West Virginia.[46] A DVD was released on February 10, 2010, followed by showings on Palladia HD.[47]
