START THE SHOW On Friday night at Bert Ogden Arena in Edinburg, moments before show time of the MixTape Tour, I took an excited breath and prepared to go back to that time.

That show ended abruptly during the rst song following a human stampede, and at least 100 attendees were treated for injuries and dehydration.

It would be 20 years before New Kids would perform here again. guys treated us like we were the Donnie said. The screams lifted again. We still were, he added. The Mixtape Tour has no pauses for costume changes or catching our own breath as supporting acts En Vogue, Salt and Astley (who Rickrolled us twice, which was excellent) popped in and out, and kept us dancing and singing along.
