New Kids on the Block are coming back to the pop world with their new album, 'The Block' -- their first since splitting 14 years ago. All five original Kids -- Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood, and brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight -- previewed their reunion tour by filming an intimate performance in front of a lucky group of screaming fans for AOL Music Sessions. "It feels like old times for sure," Jordan Knight admits, while Danny Wood says, "It's like Christmas every day."

The boys are all grown up, but their stage prep rituals remain the same as they hang out together, warm up their vocals, deal with Jonathan Knight's tardiness and try to leave wardrobe fights "to the Spice Girls." Watch behind the scenes footage with New Kids on the Block now, and return for the premiere of the exclusive AOL Music Sessions performance on September 10.
