Really sorry to read that Gwens Mum is not well, she is such a fun lady ...

 

Me too. -_-

Alex - I listened to your CD today In the car.

 

My very favourite is track 2 - United. I love the 60s vibe to it.

 

The Rudebox remix is really good too. I found myself singing A.D.I.D.A..S. :lol:

 

You've done really well B-)

He always used to be in the press for his flings didn't he? :lol:

 

He always got good marks in the bedroom area I seem to remember. :smoke:

I wonder if it makes him feel old when they start talking about him in terms of the Mums :lol:

Festival Flashback: Robbie Williams, Knebworth Festival 2003

 

Thomas Curtis-Horsfall

25 Jul 2019

 

 

For some of you, it might be difficult to comprehend that Robbie Williams was quite literally the biggest pop star in the UK and parts of Europe. With a hallmark homecoming performance at Barclaycard presents British Summer Time Hyde Park 2019 as well as an upcoming headline slot at Romania's gargantuan Untold Festival, it still proves he has the credentials, and extensive back catalogue, to warrant such postures.

 

Arguably his finest hour, however, was joining an illustrious legion of contemporary British legends like Led Zeppelin, Oasis, The Rolling Stones, Queen, and Pink Floyd in headlining Knebworth Festival, back in 2003. The intermittently recurring festival, held in the regal grounds of Knebworth House, has regularly welcomed in excess of 125,000 on each occasion. Well, Williams at the height of his post-Millenium popularity sold out three consecutive dates, performing for a total of 375,000 across the duration. Mind-boggling figures.

 

 

 

The adoring masses rose to fever-pitch throughout the day as a mish-mash of support artists in Moby, The Darkness, and Kelly Osbourne took the stage before the crowning jewel of British pop music entered the fray; curtains branded with his initials withdrew to reveal William suspended upside down, arms stretched out wide in a faux-crucifixion position to begin proceedings. Cue pandemonium.

 

As the iconic opening piano chords of 'Let Me Entertain You' rang out, Robbie with his well-loved cheeky bravado burst onto the stage and after a couple of anthemic choruses announced himself: "My name is Robbie Williams. This is my band. And for the next two hours, your ass is mine." 125,000 asses to be precise were bombarded with a hit-laden set featuring what are now stone-cold classics, such as 'Come Undone', 'She's The One', 'Rock DJ', the list goes on.

 

It's strange to comprehend that on the cusp of the 21st century, Williams was consistently in the charts with back-to-back bangers, proving his mettle as a contemporary pop icon. The sheer demand from his faithful UK fanbase to see him at the peak of his powers ensured that his Knebworth performance was groundbreaking, era-defining, and truly legendary. Once his frenetic two-hour set came to an end, the prodigal son returned with 'Angels' as the encore. What else?

and I can remember trying for hours to get tickets for Knebworth and not even being surprised that he had sold out three days. :o

 

In a way it is hard to remember just how big he was at his peak.

 

His record of 1.6 million tickets in a single day from 2005 still stands. You would think Ed Sheeran would have beaten that by now.

Do you think that he would sell out three days of Knebworth as a one of these days?

I am wondering how it feels if you have been THAT popular and see others taking over your crown.

I am also wondering how huge he would be if social media had already existed or if he would have been huge as back then he was not that approachable.

 

Rob is still on the way, he can still sell out huge dates and convince with his performance and maybe soon we see him doing something different again in TV.

Looking forward to the journey

Laura, it's good to know you like it!

Yes, I also love United Mix.

Enjoy!

In terms of Knebworth I dont' thnk anyone took his crown...see the stats in this link , Robbie is right up there ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concerts_at_Knebworth_House. I am not sure if he could do the same these days but maybe he might not want to, Knebworth was special for him & for everyone that was there , I think he might well want to remember it that way .

 

I think social media must be a dream for him , he has access to his fans without him actually having to meet them face to face all the time unless it's a M & G at one of his show

 

Robbie for me is a special performer, he's not afraid to try new things, win or lose, I love him for that ..

No. But he did - and no one can take that away from him. ^_^

 

It must be hard for all these artists with their egos to accept their best days are behind them. Then he does a gig like Hyde Park two weeks ago and gets five star reviews. He must feel pride in that nearly thirty years on. B-)

Yes me too - he keeps reminding me why I'm a fan. I never lose interest in him.
