I just read online that filming for the Progress Tour dvd will be at Wembley during the first three nights :w00t:

 

 

Mens 'bits' are ugly. I like shoulders. And arms. Arms like Nadal. :wub:

 

Much more sensual than a willie wonka. -_-

A review from last nights gig in Birmingham:

Robbie Williams 'steals show' at Take That concert in Birmingham :cheer:

 

Pop devotees with Take That tickets can look forward to a spectacular performance from the group and Robbie Williams in particular, if reviews of last night's (June 27th) Birmingham show are anything to go by.

 

The Birmingham Mail said the five-piece's gig at Villa Park topped 2009's "spectacular" Circus tour, with Williams 'stealing the show'. :yahoo:

 

During the performance, the Rock DJ singer called the 48,000 fans in the crowd "absolutely magnificent" and "the best yet of the tour", adding: "I think you've even beaten the Scots." :o (shhhhhhhh don't tell Jups)

 

The Birmingham Mail reviewer also highlighted Williams' energetic antics, including throwing himself off the top of the stage, and impressive set elements including a giant robot, dancers in gas masks, a light show and a wall of water.

 

Villa Park will host one more Take That concert tonight, before the group head to Wembley Stadium :dance: , where they will finish the Progress Live tour with a series of eight shows from June 30th to July 9th.

Yip, and when he gets to Wembley, the London crowd will be the best of the tour (or is that maybe stretching things a bit too far :unsure: :P ). He has said the same thing at every concert he's done for the last 20 years. And we still fall for it. :lol:

:lol: Looks like you could be taking your boss with you!

 

I had a brilliant time, really glad I decided to get tickets in the end.

 

Not sure if you have unreserved seats/standing, but if you have and want to get a good spot to see everything, make sure you go early. We got there at 3pm and the queues to get in were never ending.

 

oh and take a picnic............... £6 for a slice of pizza, £8 for a small tray of chicken and chips :wacko:

Yep, they charge stupid prices for food and drink, take your own.

 

I took a bag full of my own goodies to eat, although I didn't eat much because I was too excited about seeing Robbie :lol:

 

You can take a bottle of water in with you, put the bottle top in your pocket as they will take it off you.

I only took a packet of wine gums and a packet of jelly babies in with me. I was terrified they would get confiscated. :o

 

But they didn't. The burly man who searched my bag scowled a bit but let me through ok. ^_^

I escaped the bag searching ;)

 

but they did take the lid for my bottle of water :arrr:

Why? Did they think it likely you'd murder someone with a plastic bottle top? :unsure:

 

 

I've never seen one of those used as weapon of choice in the FBI files but I suppose you never know. :unsure:

Robbie Williams & Pulp revive English pop with Wireless and Take That

July 4, 2011

By Adam Sherwin

 

It came out a little bit Nick Griffin but you could tell what Robbie Williams meant when he thanked the adoring Wembley Stadium crowd and said: “I’ve never felt more proud to be English than at these nights. We are the English!”

 

The star, whose explosive entrance on stage 20 minutes into Take That’s set is one of the great moments in live music today, wanted the 80,000 fans to know that despite his sometimes errant ways, “I have always been your son”.

 

Watching Williams, followed by Jarvis Cocker’s return to front Pulp the following night, was a reminder that British pop at its best still throws up charismatic, witty, frustrating but always entertaining performers who have a self-deprecating awareness that their US superstar counterparts lack.

 

Robbie throws a Bruce Forsyth fist-to-nose pose during Let Me Entertain You which is lapped up by the knowing Saturday night crowd. He throws in a rap about superinjunctions to show he’s lost in the same celebrity Twitterverse as the rest of us.

 

His whole entry, after an opening of five Gary Barlow-penned Radio 2 friendly singalongs from the Robbie-free era, bursting through the giant video screen, is like the evil villain disrupting a pantomime. A couple of Take That, Robbie-hating purists even booed.

 

Robbie plays along with a little rehearsed dialogue about being “sacked” from the band and throws himself in to the choreographed dance steps of Everything Changes, replicating the 90s ToTP memories of thousands of female fans.

 

The Take That experience, with Mark singing “If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands”, could seem a little “end-of-the-pier children’s show” if there weren’t some solid gold pop tunes at the heart of it, with Barlow’s recent Progress material giving the group an appropriately mature edge.

 

Williams and Cocker, whose Hyde Park Pulp reunion at Wireless, was no less of a triumph, have enjoyed similar but polar opposite career trajectories.

 

Williams joined his manufactured group as a 16 year-old and was immediately catapulted to teen idol status. Cocker had to wait until his 30s before Pulp, created in his own image, finally ignited Britpop.

 

Both side-stepped the Blur/Oasis battle to create a defining song of the 90s – Common People and Angels. They enjoyed a run of hits with quirky pop songs featuring clever lyrics and wordplay, memorable melodies and often uniquely British reference points.

 

And both decided to modestly rejoin the band they had once outgrown for a reunion tour which reminded an army of fans what they had been missing.

 

At Hyde Park, Cocker is a whirlwind of scissor kicks and finger-pointing. Pulp tease the Britpop veterans by opening with Do You Remember the First Time? and unleash the fondly-remembered hits Disco 2000, Sorted For E’s and Whizz.

 

Cocker reminds his audience that most of these songs were written during his skulking and plotting, pre-stardom student days in London.

 

I-Spy is even more bitter than Common People, with the outsider Cocker stalking his prey, upending the lives of the Ladbroke Grove glitterati he despises in his revenge fantasy.

 

The set-closing Common People itself gains new life after Cocker, who urged the crowd to join the student fees protest, dedicates it to the property developers making a mint out of the One Hyde Park development.

 

Cocker’s world of word-chipped walls and pebble dash hasn’t paled in Pulp’s absence and it’s every bit as British as Robbie’s music hall entertainer desire to entertain and song lyrics mined from catchphrases and cultural references submerged in the national psyche. Neither star will ever mean a bean in middle America but we and they probably prefer it that way.

 

 

Cocker and Williams’ uniquely English, witty, literate pop lineage stretches from Damon Albarn and Morrissey to Neil Tennant (The Pet Shop Boys are an inspired choice of support act for Take That on the Progress tour) through Bowie to Lennon and beyond.

 

Where are the successors? Lily Allen looked like she might be part of that line, perhaps Tinie Tempah or Plan B will show the same facility. So yes, a good night to be English as Robbie said.

 

Although he did pick up a fan’s Israeli flag and draped himself in it at the end of the show, perhaps to show this wasn’t about being excluding other nationalities.

 

A gesture that would have brought a political storm down on Bono but Robbie carried it off with his trademark cheeky grin.

Do they not take bottle tops off at Hampden?

 

They do at the O2 and Wembley.

 

 

They confiscate the whole bottle at Hampden. Obviously reckon we're a rougher crowd :lol:
