The tour consisted of three legs, starting on January 16, 1991 at Louisville and ending in Mexico City on August 1, 1992. On this tour, Vanilla Ice performed in arenas and theaters across the world including Australia, Latin America, North America and Europe. Despite the mixed reviews by the critics several shows were reported as sold out by the local media. The Party and Riff were selected as the opening act of some United States and Canada concerts until March 31, 1991. On March 6, 1991, he released Extremely Live with material recorded at Miami, Cleveland, Kissimee, Columbus and Tampa concerts.

Critical reception
The reception of the tour was lukewarm. The Washington Post gave negative review to Ice stage performance comparing him to MC Hammer stating "while Hammer is acrobatic and tireless in concert, Ice was inelastic and tiresome" however praised the 3-D effects during the concert and the live instruments such as drums and saxophone that "helped spruce up the otherwise generic-sounding "Hooked" and "I Love You." In other hand, The Evening Sun gave a mixed review to the March 31, 1991 concert at Baltimore titled "Maybe, Ice wasn't nice, but he wasn't all bad, either".

Commercial reception
Most of the venues booked had a capacity between 2,500 to 10,000 seats and some were reported sold out. Around 3,200 were reported at Ottawa and Oklahoma concert. The concert at the Beacon Theater in New York was reported sold out. The concert in Ontario, Canada was also reported sold out packed with 5,500 fans. The Toronto Concert at the Auditorium de Verdun was reported sold out.

The concert of August 31, 1991 in Duluth, Minnesota, at the 2,500-seat Duluth Entertainment Convention Center Auditorium was abruptly canceled, while promoters claimed that they couldn't accommodate the roadshow's huge set, media reported that only 900 tickets were sold. In Auckland, New Zealand, the concert was cancelled due to poor tickets sales, however, an extra show was added in Melbourne, Australia due to the high demand. Ice also visited Sydney, Perth and Adelaide.
