These gigs are all a bit close to the date of Ayda giving birth. Planned ceasarean or not, she could still arrive without warning unless the baby is due to be born before the concerts. I'm really surprised he is putting on these shows so close, especially as he pulled out of performing at the Olympic closing ceremony for that very reason (apparently).

 

Robbie may have to rush off half way through a gig :P

 

 

I just made that very comment in another thread Spark.. Snap !!! :smoke: If it happens in Dublin Scotty will have to take over & finish off the show :lol:

:lol: That could prove interesting!

Yeah it does seem very odd to be doing gigs now when she is about to pop. Surely he shouldv'e arranged them nearer the album release which is nearly 2 months away. It's hardly a risk worth taking really.

 

Going by what he said this morning - it's looks pretty certain there will be a big tour next June :o The only thing I can see stopping him from doing it is if the album flops :lol: Otherwise there will probably be a big announcement in November with tickets on sale before Xmas.

Thanks to TRWS :w00t:

There's lots of clips from last night on youtube, really good to hear him singing some of the old songs :w00t:

 

This one's from the new album, Losers, the video clip quality not that good, I like the song :cheer:

I am going to love Losers Spark , cannot wait for Di Neros review after Friday in Dublin :w00t:

Love the crowd singing along to Road to Mandalay , and adore Life Thru a lens, what a fantastic song live :cheer:

 

 

Did he sing a lot of songs from the new album? :w00t:

Yes , that marbles in his mouth Candy :lol: , there's too many words in the verses, he loses his pronunciation ( which was never that good anyway ) .. the thoughts of him doing it on the XF strikes me with fear :blink: & he did Losers which is a beautiful song

 

 

& of course my beloved LTAL :wub:

 

 

I'll watch all the clips tomorrow night. I was working late. I volunteered after i had no luck with the tickets. In bath on Smartphone. I should be at the Glasgow concert. I'm a loyal fan. Its not fair :cry:

I feel even more miserable now. :cry: What a cracking setlist

I didn't expect so many oldies. Thought it would be mostly new stuff.

Unreal setlist - I am in shock :o So many of those songs would be on my dream Robbie setlist. I never thought he would sing the likes of Lazy Days, OBID, LLBYE, Life Thru A Lens, Karma Killer live again. Great to see Eternity/Mandalay back after over a decade break live. Monsoon and Hot Fudge two excellent live tracks too. Don't mind not having Millenium or Strong but Supreme and No Regrets should be there. Two more things I am surprised at is the lack of new songs. I suppose the album isn't out for nearly 2months so he has plenty of time to showcase more at further gigs but it is still odd. He is playing the O2 in London in November apparently - which hopefully will get screened on TV, maybe the weekend before the album release.

 

Notice how he didn't include any material from the past 10 years? If he really thinks the crowd only want the Guy Chambers era hits then i'm surprised he didn't work with him on his new album, afterall I am sure Guy would jump at the chance. Would've been nice to hear Bodies and Tripping in particular.

 

Cannot wait to Friday though. Hearing all of those classics live again will be incredible :D

 

The vid with him doing 50 push ups is amusing - he was knackered and had to restart 'Candy' :lol:

 

Losers is a really good track. Much more 'Robbie' than Candy which really doesn't feel like it's a Rob song at all.

Really good review of the Leeds gig from one of my fave journalists - Neil McCorrmick.
