142.0. "NKOTB... can anyone help in UK on 14-AUG-1993??" by MEOC02::CASEY (MEO78B::CASEY or DTN 739 3414) Tue Aug 10 1993 00:12

    On 14-AUG-1993, our daughters' hearthrobs are appearing in a show in
    the UK at the Wembley Stadium in London. I'm referring to "New Kids On
    The Block". In the event that this show is televised, would some IK
    noter out there be able to video a copy for me? (Out here in Australia,
    we have UK-compatible type TV, ie., PAL, so no conversion of the
    recorded tape will be required.)
    
    Many thanks,
    
    		Don

	Don, you may want to cross-post this in: Music in the UK WANLAD::UK_MUSIC OR Music MR4SRV::MUSIC Good luck Joyce
142.2	In the unlikely event...	IJSAPL::KLERK	Quality by Design	`Tue Aug 10 1993 08:11`	7
	My TV guide only runs upto Friday 13th, but will look for it in next week's when it arrives. If it is on BBC1 or BBC2 I could catch it in Holland (same VCR system as Australia) but I doubt it very much: those shows are normally not live and NKOTB seem to be much of a dead thing around here now everyone believes/knows they cannot sing anyway...

	Sorry Don, there's no broadcast on any of the UK TV Channels (or Radio come to that) on Saturday 14th. I suppose there is the slight chance it may be recorded for later broadcast, but it is very unlikely. As .2 says, they haven't been a popular group in Europe for a long while - quite frankly I'm surprised they are doing a concert at Wembley at all. Ian.

	Re .2 and .3 Thanks guys. Yes, I agree with you that NKOTB seem to be synonymous with "The Over-The-Hill Gang", but my daughter tells me that they've been working on a new album which is due for release anytime now, hence the reason for them appearing at Wembley - it's all about promotion of their new album. Don *8-)
142.5	Perhaps MTV?	IJSAPL::KLERK	Quality by Design	`Mon Aug 16 1993 18:40`	6
	In that case, perhaps MTV (slowly becoming a TTV - Talk/Sport TV) will do a special on them soon - otherwise impressions of the concert could pop up in any pop music program as clip. Theo

	The concert was broadcast on Radio 1 on Sunday afternoon. NKOTB were just a support band, the main attraction was this years British ( and next years Australian :-) ) wonder group "Take That". I.
