New Edition (Live) Concert | Essence Festival 2022 

Ricky Bell is so underrated. That brother always sounds the same.

I love seeing black ppl just radiating joy!

They need a Tiny Desk Concert!

Can we give it up for the damn dancers!! Those girls killed it! I’m proud of all them! I literally watch this everyday!

Prayers 🙏🏽 For Bobby Brown He's Hanging in There. We Love You Bobby ♥️

This group must be at every Essence Festival until they are 100 years!

Johnny gill was SO proud of himself lol. Like "DAMN,I'm still killing this shit"

The G.O.A.T of boy bands

Bobby was giving VOCALS!!!🎶🎤❤️💯

I’m so damn proud of Bobby. If you look at the concerts from the beginning of this tour, he has come along long way with dancing, singing, etc. He would’ve walked off the stage in a minute if he got too tired and it was very obvious too!!! I love the loyalty with each other!!!

Bobby isn’t doing all the dance moves, he looking like “y’all ain’t gonna kill me!”😂…I love this group!!!❤️

The BADDEST group in the land! Iconic song list of NE, BBD, Bobby Brown, Johnny Gil, and Ralph Tresvant spanning over a 40 year career. Wow!

are we going to give Ricky bell his props please? he has and always was one of the best voice in NE low key

NE NEVER disappoints...impeccable performance. I grew up with The Temptations as I am 68 years young and they were the Statesman back then, but NE is the Statesman of this new age group. So glad and honored to have known and seen both of these fabulous groups ❤️ 💕 💖 Also, I am soooooooo very proud of Bobby Brown...do the DAMN thing Bobby!!

They put on a hell of a show! Why are they not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame?! WTF!

I LOOOOVE seeing them all singing each others songs! Great performance!!!!!!

I'm so happy for Bobby Brown . But new edition is awesome💙💙💙💙💙💙

That damn Ronnie stay on 💯….we all trying to keep up with that cat…..#NE4LIFER ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being 48 they are my Temptations. Love these kings. Appreciate the upload. 🙏🏾

It is so great to see all six of these guys moving as one finally getting the bags they deserved long ago . They was cheated by others and then they cheated themselves by allowing egos to get out of control , Now they're on the same page fully matured and seasoned men. Owning their own name and the total rights to NE. Great Job guys your legacy is here to stay 40 years are approaching and you've made your mark the Grammy Awards owe a lifetime achievement awards , The rock n roll Hall of fame owe you and so many more wish you all the best of everything.

I love the moment at 1:04:30. Bobby was finishing Johnny’s Rub You The Right Way at the end and Ralph saying “Come on B”!!

Bobby sounding real good and the guys backing him up on Roni!

They did that in the Big Easy for Essence 2022! New Edition must definitely be pray up. They have built a 40 years legacy in the music business from humble beginnings in Boston with overcoming various obstacles.

Ronnie still got all the steps and I mean killing it... Kill it

New Edition is my favorite group of all time. I'm hoping to catch them at the Vegas residency. These brothers were amazing as always. The joy they're bringing to fans is simply epic.Thanks for posting this especially for people like myself who haven't been able to catch them live!. NE4LIFE!

1:03:56 - 1:04:50 is such a cute ass moment between Ralph, Johnny and Bobby. Ya love to see it after all this time

Bobby sound great!!!

Best group ever. I had the pleasure of seeing them twice Essences Festival!

Still a fine group...I love black brothers

THE BADDEST BOY BAND IN THE LAND! AWESOME PERFORMANCE, NE! WE LOVE YOU!

Janet and New Edition go good on a headlining bill. They did Kentucky Derby then now this together. Her and Johnny Gill are friends in real life. They need to do a tour together.

I love all of this. Brings back some serious memories of a time when the world wasn't so damn mad all the time........... BRING THAT BACK!

One of my favorite boy groups of all time. I love their solo/collaborative acts. They still can perform well til this day!

Aw man! Those outfits are FIRE!!!! My favorite color - PURPLE!!! Get it y'all. My guys!

I've seen NE in concert so many times & it's always refreshing to see all six members onstage.

This was EXCELLENT. I love New Edition. I have seen them live several times. They NEVER disappoint. Had me up dancing.

Bobby you better sing that song

Not only are they talented they are also smart as hell . They took six members and made 6 subgroups 1. New Edition 2. BBD 3. RBRM (Ronnie Bobby Ricky and Mike) 4. Johnny Gill solo 5. Bobby Brown solo 6. Ralph Tresvant solo Now that’s marketing

I enjoy this group since first came on scene. New Edition is the G.O.A.T.

Ralph sounds the exact same ! And I ❤️Bobby ! Keep going B .. Sounding good 😌 .. NE for life .. Ronnie’s a dancing machine 🙌🏾 Johnny’s vocal are unmatched..

A few people are on here saying that the sound quality is bad but I'm having absolutely no problem right now with my soundbar and woofers going because right now it feels like I'm at the actual concert! They are putting on one hell of a show!

Awesome performance...All of them still together. Now that's love

The Fans are having a ball they partying their butts off. Love it.

Those dancers was getting it also..Nice show from all..

57:47 he said aye where’s my car😂😂😂 and I’m really digging bob’s vocal work on rub you the right way

Thank you all for your support for the this group!! They came a long way. God Bless!!

They have to be the absolute only group in history to have all their members still here & still part of the group. Bobby was kicked out & was blessed to return. Although Johnny was a replacement member, he shed that title looooonnnggg time ago. They had their issues throughout the years causing them to tour without all members (for example Heads of State), but their comradery is real!!! Edit: I’ve been corrected in comments, there are others.

One hell of a performance with all of them there for it. Shows they still got it.

Just like Maze at Essence years ago, New Edition should close out the festival every year! There music never gets old

The "mini Temps" of us Gen X'ers!!!!! Babyyyyyy when The Legendary Temptations passed the torch to our fellas, they ran with the mofo and NEVER QUIT u hear me?!!! Im so damn proud to be from this generation and child product of Boomer parents. Our guys still maintain that same elegance and CLASS that groups from my parents 60s/70s generation upheld. Smooth groovin' foot work mixed with 80s flare and edge. Some 90s also. Man these kings are our precious gems. Theyre journeys are amazing. S/O to former bad boy BOBBY B.!!! So freaking PROUD OF HIM!! All he been through....still doing the damn thang.🙌💖🙌 They all look great. I saw em in concert back in my junior yr in highschool 1986, in my home city Okc at the Myriad. It was them, late Legend Luther Vandross (Rip💖) and songstress Shirley Murdock. So i KNOW how they get down!! NE fans 4 Life!!!!!!💖😍

They are polished

Hats off to the Goat Brooke Payne and the outstanding New Edition.

I thank God that he made me a soulful black woman...who fell in love with Bobby, Ralph,& Johnny

Johnny hit that note at the end and it was over! That’s crazy!!! This show was amazing!

They smashed it! What a jam!

I absolutely LOVE NEW EDITION!!♥️

In case anyone didn’t notice, Luke James who played Johnny Gill in the New Edition Story is in the crowd while Johnny is closing “My, My, My”. He has a green hat on with his hand up. 18:49

What a great show .... thanks for letting us witness the magic these legends did.

They did AMAZINGLY well!!!

Wow! Amazing!!...What an enormous success that night and thru the years...around the world...!thank god they get all their glory again, while they are still alive! Their love for each other is legendary and exemplary for their communities and the world. Thank you New Edition for your strength thru adversities, for your talent and for all the memories, continued blessings to you all and your families.

Essence fest fumbled the bag with the audio all 3 days but these guys handled it well I've never seen Bobby check his mic like wtf before lmao

Thanks for posting this.❤️ I watched the stream live last night, but because they were on from 12:45AM to 2:15AM 😮… I definitely missed some things in my tiredness.

Remember them days!!!! Good music and Good loving

Bobby sounded so much better! Love that he’s doing better!!!! Edit: Man he CLOWNED on Rub You The Right Way too! Lmao

I love me some New Edition!!! The guys were AMAZING 🥰

I finally got a chance to see them in person! At Essence 2022

Thank you for this I went to the concert in Houston. The best concert for me in years.

My fun time along with the group Surface. Song I would dedicate to my babygirl..

LOVE THEM !!! They were my favorite group growing up and Bobby !

i LOVED THIS VIDEO.. i seen New Edition last year in Tampa.. Amazing and Best Concert !!!

Brings back priceless memories ...!

Have not seen a group this outstanding since the booting bad Temptations.

SPECTACULAR PERFORMANCE 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤

I was there!! They did a great job especially considering their age. I love N.E.!!

These men have real love for each other. It’s beautiful to see how they stepped in when needed for Bobby. Bobby did his thang, though! It’s not easy performing when you’re over 50 and have health problems. I’m proud of him. They’ll be in Vegas for a few days in 2024, and after seeing this I may have to roll out there!

Jesus! I loved seeing this performance, even if on RU-vid! Great outfits!

I love how they sing each others song soo well

MY “KINGS”LOOK SOOOOOOOO GOOD IN THAT PURPLE!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

Best group on the planet. Always giving you all...for decades. NE4LIFE

Seeing all 6 of these fellas! For my (60) birthday next year April would be one of the best gifts i can get. Even if I have to gift myself.

Bobby out of shape but he still got it....very proud be apart of the New Edition error 😍. Glad they were up to the TASK 🥰

I had a blast! I’ve been to NOLA on different times! I had an experience of a lifetime! My favorite groups of all time!

I just love these guys and I have yet to see them in concert. But you better believe it’s in the top of my bucket list. I love you guys

All the guys look good. IF IT ISNT LOVE AND TENDERONI and MY MY MY❤❤❤ Everyone appeared to have am awesome time!

New Edition, teen age pop to men group. I and my teen and middle school daughter loved them. Like all groups, problems arise, time to go separate ways. Then found each other again. So glad to see them together once more.

Shout out to this band!!!!

😍 They look so good! Love to see them still performing and giving us life with all the classics. Wish I could've attended this show. They did that. 🖤👑💋💯

I’m afraid of going into crowded places this was a treat. Love new edition Bobby was always my favorite from way back then. I love the group my favorite group by far

Very entertaining. Love these guys since i was a teenager

I love these guys my inspiration for music

Thank You!!!!!Vegas here we come NE4life!!!

💞🎵🎶 *Float on, mah bruthas, keep floatin' on...* 🎵🎶🎶🌹

I had no idea that this festival was on RU-vid.l love it thanks so much for allowing us to watch and enjoy 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Good thing I got to see them on the tour. The camera work here is really bad. Way too many crowd shots. Way too many dance moves missed. When you have a performer that does not dance it is okay to focus more on the crowd, but when you have dancers and they have intricate routines, you need to focus on the performers. In any event Thank you for posting this. 🙂

Been a fan since Candy Girl days!!! 🙌🙌🙌💕💕💕💕

I bet none of those background dancers were not even born when they came out lol but they sure complimented the show! Good job ladies!

I am proud of these guys, they did it for us ya'll, this is a legacy. There will never in life ever be another NE. God Bless you guys, 100 for life. So freaking proud !!!!

...oh man ...seeing these cats reminds me of growing up in that 617 ...hey roxbury ya'll still jammin, hee hee. atlanta, october 31, 2023.

Ralph Tresvant voice makes the group sound youthful as they get older.
