  • At long last! Bobby Brown’s sizzling pre-show set for the New Edition “Heartbreak Tour” LIVE from the second show at The Spectrum Philadelphia, PA November 2, 1988! The crowning highlight of this set is a sensual reworking of his 1986 Number One debut single “Girlfriend” (my favorite track from his set). On this track, Brown gives a performance for the ages and delivers what was in my estimation the best version of “Girlfriend” EVER! The song starts off with a brand new slow jam arrangement, then half way through Bobby cues the band to take it back to the original arrangement and delivers vocal FIREWORKS from that point on! Breathtaking! Highlights also include an overtly sexual rendition of his Top 100 hit “Roni” where he invites a lucky young lady to join him on stage (further explaining why he was almost charged with indecency on some nights of his subsequent solo tour). And finally, a very energetic and lengthy take on his most autobiographical tune, “My Prerogative.” This extremely rare footage captures the self-proclaimed “King of Stage” at his lyrical, vocal and sexual peak at the tender age of 19, if you can believe that! Long before his erratic and often self-destructive personal life and ill-fated relationships began dominating the conversation of Booby Brown. This is a rare time capsule of an era when Bobby Brown’s artistry defined him, and not his latest arrest or tabloid editorial.

    Thanks for watching and head on over to Part 2 to see New Edition deliver a stellar performance full of wall to wall hits!
    I’d lastly like to give thanks to my friend Waverly Levere, without whom none of this would have been possible!
    “Peace & B Wild!” - The Artist

      PurpleRain500 I was born in February of 88. My mother went to the Heartbreak show when they came to Baltimore. She was a huge NE fan since 83. She introduced me to NE when I was 3. I just showed her the NE performance yesterday. It brought back some memories for her from that night in Baltimore. Thank you so much for this brotha!!

      It wasn't unique. Honestly, we were doing all of those dances. Any "hood" in america were doing all of those dances well before Bobby became a star.
      To white people, it waa unique.to bruthas and sistas, it was like, "damn, finally the ish we do at the school dances, block parties, and skating.rinks". Scoob and scrap, the dances for Big Daddy Kane, were doing the same damn thing as Heart and Soul. Bobby just got the play.
      Think of it like this. Michael Jackson did the "moonwalk" in 1983 or whatever. White people went crazy like it was something HE made up. In the hood, it was called the glide. Althought i was around 8-9 in thr late 70's, I remember my uncle and his friends, who were lockers, doing the glide in late 78. It was nothing new at all. But, if white people don't know about it, then it's new, fresh, snd unique.
      Same thing with Miley Cyrus twerking. Really? Sista's were twerking in the south back in the mid 90's.

      I think Sharon meant that Bobby brought the edge of the hood to the forefront. Those dances weren’t unique for common black folks, but they were to suburban America and anywhere else outside of urban 🇺🇸. Bobby was the first thug-singing superstar- pre Jodeci.

    Wow a rare concert of Bobby Brown before he became extremely huge then later came the downfalls. Glad everyone is appreciating his legacy as a high energetic performer. B.Brown was a fool with it on that stage. Wish i was older enough at that time to see him at his prime. Did get to see him a few times (even with N.E. on a couple reunion tours) in recent years but as the older version of Bobby after overcoming and probably still dealing with demons. Peace and blessings to you PR500 for giving us a treat to start 2020 off with.

    Bobby Brown, when right as he was here, was THE THREAT to Michael Jackson. Now just imagine if he would have avoided the trappings that fame offered and focused on his craft. He could do it all and he had that raw Pendergrass-like sex appeal. Girls either wanted to screw him or get screwed by him. A prime Chris Brown and Usher could not touch him.

      @@mr.majesty1920 No he is wrong, at this time Bobby Brown was an opening act for a group he got kicked out of..Michael Jackson was head lining his own tour making over 100,000,000 by himself. To compete with Mr Jackson,you had to know to sing as well,as dance and we all know Bobby is not a singer. Teddy Riley was supposed to work on the Bad album in 1987 but Gene Griffin interfered. So there was no reason for Michael to rush or compete with anybody. Michael sold 32 million with Dangerous, Bobby didn't even come close with Don't be Cruel, these are facts and I am old enough to have this conversation,I was living when it all went down..
