    not a New Edition fan by any means (born in 89), but now that i'm into them sorta and i remember being raised on em, i've taken an interested. THANKS MUCH TO UPLOADER.

  • where's the fifth guy?

  • As always Bobby fucking shit up lol

  • Why do people always ask where did you get this?

    I've repeatedly posted that I shot this video, along with my other videos in the 80's mostly, and am a VIDEO DIRECTOR who also did AFRIKA BAAMBAATA's first two Tommy Boy pieces with mt ex-wife and partner JESSICA JASON

  • nobody reads, LOL

  • people asks because they assume that everyone on youtube is not a professional..so people assume that someone stole this footage from some guy and put it on you tube.lol

  • didn't realize they could play an instrument

  • Always have and will always be my ultimate favorites! The last time I saw them in '05/06 their show was just as tight & entertaining as it was when I first saw them in '88. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen them in concert but one thing - they NEVER DISAPPOINT!!! When I saw them in '06 and I thought I would have to calm myself down bc I was 26 by then and couldn't act like I was a teenager or 21 anymore but please it was women w/ 10 years on me LOOSING THEIR MINDS. The best.
