R&B super group New Edition graced the stage on Friday March 30, 2012 at the Winstar Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma to a sold-out crowd of 5,000 die-hard fans. These loyal fans made the journey from as far away as Austin, Texas to be entertained by The Temptations of their era with smooth grooves, romantic ballads and dance routines that could be seen in a Fred Astaire movie.

The group opened with Hit Me Off an upbeat jam from the Home Again album produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and followed with If It Isn’t Love the debut single that introduced Johnny Gill to the group after Bobby Brown departure.

After these two opening numbers Bobby Brown emerged from the curtain with screams from the plethora of ladies in the audience.

He testified about the trials and tribulations he has been through during the last year and that New Edition are brothers and it’s a blessing to have them in his life. The group showed their talents as individuals with Bobby’s singing My Prerogative and Roni which had the crowd singing acapella. Ralph Tresvant sung his smooth ballad Sensitivity as he glided across the stage and Johnny Gill finished the set with My, My, My, as the other members sung the background vocals.

The night wouldn’t be complete without the classics of Mr. Telephone Man, Candy Girl, Cool It Now, and the crowd favorite Can’t You Stand the Rain.

Also, the threesome of Bell, Biv, Devoe energized the audience with Do Me, and Poison the anthem for party animals.

The group ended the night with Home Again a song that states the longevity of the group and after 29 years you can always go home no matter what the circumstances.
