Background

Since the 1988 release of Hangin' Tough, the New Kids had performed as the opening act for fellow teen pop singer Tiffany's successful North American tour. Due to a sudden rise of the group's popularity, Tiffany wound up opening for them on this tour, but they were credited as co-headliners.[1]

Recordings

The group's June 5 concert at the Mayan Theater was filmed and released as Hangin' Tough- Live.[2] The Home video was certified 12× platinum by RIAA for selling over 1.2 million copies in United States.[3]
