Concert Review
The legendary group will perform at State Farm Arena again Thursday.
New Edition started their Atlanta show Sunday with an unreleased song, but performed many of their legendary hits. (Ben Gray for the AJC)
Renowned R&B boy band New Edition was recently nominated, along with 16 other groups and musicians, for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
At their show Sunday night at State Farm Arena, the first of two Atlanta stops along the New Edition Way Tour, the pioneering sextet built a cogent case for why they should be the next inductees.
