    AT LAST! New Edition is Home Again!.....well, not quite.
    New Edition's "Home Again Tour" LIVE from Elvis Presley's former stumping ground, the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis, TN! The infamously ill-fated "Home Again Tour" would serve as the group's last tour for years as tensions grew worse than ever for the group. There were very few rehearsals for this tour, and each act would essentially improvise nightly (if they showed up at all). All leading up to the most violent night in NE's history that would change the supergroup's relationships with its members for years to come. This video offers a rare glimpse into the most troubled time in New Edition's storied history. In spite of their personal issues during this era, and most of the show going unrehearsed, NE managed to put on a phenomenal show with a stellar set list. This show was LOADED! Highlights include performances of songs from New Edition's "Home Again" album, as well as some of their greatest hits sprinkled in. Rarities include songs such as Ralph’s “Do What I Gotta Do,” an extremely rare performance of Bobby’s “Gotta Get Away,” and Johnny’s (then) new track “Your Body.” What's also interesting about his show is watching Bobby Brown fill in for Ricky Bell in his absence (he was ill at the time). And be sure to peep Bobby’s grand entrance on an emperor’s throne LOL! 😂🤣 What’s also interesting is the fact that the police were called on Bobby during this show for flashing the audience during “My Prerogative,” and were waiting for him backstage. Some interesting things happening indeed! This tour will be long remembered as one of the most troubled and curious times in New Edition's history. Just look at the facade that they put on during the pre-show interview, you could feel the tension. Fasten your seatbelts ladies and gentlemen, because NE is Home Again!

      Actually, Earth, Wind & Fire and the Eagles are the best United States bands. They obtained the greatest heights in music, producing and teaching. The Isley Brothers, Maze and Con Funk Shun held their own. Mother's Finest became a great band with no promotions and they can play. New Edition would be classified performers and entertainers. The almighty Jacksons can't be touched performing and entertaining.

      @@steviecritiquenewby7874 Yeah I think Tim and Bob (not Bobby as in Bobby) did a lot on that album. Plus he was dissing Babyface in interviews about his writing (in particular Exhale by Whitney). So i guess he felt he didn't need those big producers. But they could've kept Feelin Inside. She's All I Need or the title cut would've made better choices, IMO. If they wanted an uptempo song, It's a Still My Thing was cool.

    Now that I think of it the Bobby Brown filling in for BBD. Has the same groove as the RBRM concert they did back in 2018.

    Just imagine if things worked out at this time. These 6 off of this album, which doesn’t get the love it deserves? If NE stays together after this into the 2000’s… greatest group of all time wouldn’t be a debate.

    I remember hearing or reading something that when The Home Again Tour started to fall apart Ronnie’s brother filled in for him some nights

    So I recently heard that New Edition had a small tour in 2002 before the One Love/Bad Boy NE era. Do you have any of those concerts?????
