welcome :)

 

Are you planning on going to anymore Better Man? you usually do don't you? :unsure:

I have a ticket to Helsinki concert (first night), seating place but the working schedule is too saturated so I won't be at the concert unfortunately.

Now I'm trying to persuade my good friend (she is a former Robbie's fan) to be there instead of me.

 

Anyway Budapest night is only one for me this Tour. But I'm lucky that I was at least there :)

Robbie disappointed in the swing version

 

When dealing with a world star like Robbie Williams to do, it is reasonable to have high expectations. I had before aftenes concert. Those living Englishman unfortunately not up to this evening in Boxen in Herning. I had hoped to write something like "Forget Eurovision, Mr. Williams is the star," in the title, but no, so easily would unfortunately not be writing this review.

 

Mr. Ingen. Swing King

 

I have great respect for that Robbie Williams launches into swing and jazz genre and has bored a little over recent album "Swings Both Ways," which was ready at last year's Christmas sales. But the thought alive drawers he does not, the good Robbie, for he is truly an entertainer of God's grace, and some versions of "Swing Both Ways" and especially Williams' first flirtation with jazz, "Swing When You're Winning "from 2001, when, if not masterful so delicate and charming versions of the old hits. Along with a large handful of the inevitable classic pop hits, it could hardly go wrong, I thought before the concert. And completely wrong went it might not. But the musical moved the concert seldom really anywhere.

 

We obviously had plenty of cheeky grin and more or less lurid stories that we know from Robbie's shows. The dance and staffagen too was quite nice, but without musical impact is the so fortunately not.

 

Abekostume did not

 

"Hit The Road, Jack" Williams in captain costume on an old showboat or singers and dancers dressed as monkeys appeared takrummende unimaginative when no music and the song had more character. "New York, New York" made us really miss good old Sinatra. "High Hopes" with a local children's choir was then also very sweet, and certainly a great experience for the kids, but no more than that. Under the "Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me" came Robbie father suddenly on the scene and made it actually quite good, but what did the old man really in a duet with his son? It seemed either natural or particularly cordial.

 

I swing-afdelingen - "are there any swingers here, tonight? - Let me see your jazz-hands" - var "Swing Supreme" og showstarteren "Shine My Shoes" med Robbie Williams alene på scenen, mens orkesteret endnu var gemt bag det enorme teatertæppe, de fineste øjeblikke.

 

Potpourri uden magi

 

Robbie Williams pop / rock hits were jappet through in an uninspired medley of six songs, one of Williams' finest songs, "Come Undone" from the masterpiece "Escapolody" 2002 completely lost its magic.

 

It was only under the excellent song "Angels," which was the show's penultimate that the roof under the beautiful companion song began to creak a bit of Jyske Bank Boxen that this evening celebrated audience numbering one million since the 20 th of October 2010, and Lady Gaga was the guest. Under "Angels" was the intense atmosphere present, as we have so often experienced by Williams' concerts live or on DVD. The atmosphere, the talent and the energy that has made him world champion.

 

Last song was "Sensational." It was neither the song or concert.

 

- Practice!

I like this new song

 

 

 

The British superstar Robbie Williams presented the Hamburg audience his album "Swing Both Ways." The good two-hour concert at the O2 World in Stellingen is the first of two appearances.

 

Superstar Robbie Williams thrilled on Wednesday evening around 12,000 fans at the O2 World Hamburg

 

Why do we attend pop concerts? Why do we flock to the big arena in the suburbs? Because we want to be part of something bigger. Because the amount of people amplifies the music. 12,000 times euphoria. Charge two or three hours with energy. With emotions.

 

Hardly a singer that promise currently so smart and soulful one like Robbie Williams. Twice, the 40-year-old now in Hamburg sold on his "Swing Both Ways" tour the O2 World. And this lightweight, effective mass fever, which is capable of triggering the world for more than two decades, the former Take That Bard, which is clearly felt on the first night before the concert.

 

Discuss Already on the S-Bahn ride two girlfriends suggested who was as often from their Robbie clique in which their star this tour. When the announcement "Stellingen / Arenas" sounds, sighs a woman, her cheeks flushed. Your friend rolls her eyes, but then have to laugh. Robbie is allowed as competition apparently. Finally, he goes through not only as a sex symbol, but also as a buddy. In the hall are formed shortly after the intake grapes at the merchandise booth. A framed Williams's for 50 euros, a T-shirt for 30 And who wants to be a bit of Robbie himself, gets a cardboard mask his icon for 5 euros.

 

Epochal input fanfare

Then finally: Epochal sound input fanfare. The eyes of the fans are fixed on the purple curtain. Zig mobile phone cameras quick high. In anticipation. Individual shouts dissolve from the troubled murmur of the crowd. Then dance headlights circles on over the cloth and flanked by a quasi-divine cloud of mist appeared Robbie Williams out of the stage floor. The dress coat is perfect, his steps are resilient, the gallant gestures and - thankfully - still a little prollig.

 

Williams strutting down the catwalk that leads like a half ring through the front rows of the audience. A star to touch. See his sweat glisten, catch Robbie mischievous smile, watch the knee in the crease during rocking, gotten a little patent leather shoes shine, even shake his hand. At least some of the squares have been quite widely backed up front early in the evening, the experience can "Robbie close" to their experience-credit side post. But even for those who sit further away, is that correct package. Williams and slapstickt prances along the ramp. He teases out the already frenetic jubilation still a little heavy from his followers. He is Charlie Chaplin and clown, charismatics, composer and cool sow.

 

His show opened with the anthemic Williams "Shine My Shoes" from his latest album "Swing Both Ways", the second swing plate for "Swing When You're Winning" from the year 2001. And when he grabs the microphone and sing begins, then Williams does still with an intensity as if it were to save a life. At least his own. Because even if the Briton soon for the second time father when his focus is now more on the family, so he's out and out entertainer. One that pulsates on the stage and therefore the hall brings such a huge heart to throb. Again and again he spreads very very far from the arms. As if to say: Look! I love you, love me!

 

Sympathetic Narcissus

And for a sympathetic Narcissus, as Williams is one, it may be a bit more sumptuous pedestal happy times in order to present themselves appropriately. When the curtain opens, a two-story show staircase structure on which acts the lush aufspielende big band in front of a illuminated facade of the hotel will appear. The jazz standard "Puttin 'On The Ritz" from the year 1927 unfolds with background singers, tap dancers and tuxedoed brass oomph plenty of flair the fading "Roaring Twenties". With songs like Dean Martin's "Is not That A Kick In The Head", Cab Calloway's "Minnie The Moocher" and Jerry Jeff Walker's "Mr. Bojangles" Williams travels further through the ages and bows with a sonorous a cappella version of "Ignition" before contemporaries such as R & B singer R. Kelly.

 

Again and again he weaves into his program an own numbers. For the self-deprecating "No One Likes A Fat Pop Star" as he reaches deep into the shindig box. He mischievously peeping through the slit of the curtain seems to fly on and off and finally appears as a floating fat man in space. Robbie humor. For Dean Martin's "That's Amore" he deceives times just a flash wedding with a - in front of Silvia from the audience - very ecstatic. With Frank Sinatra's "High Hopes" again, he clarifies the children of the Hamburg Blue Voice choir who gathered neatly around him, in a fairy tale-tone about the ups and downs of show business.

 

This evening with Robbie Williams, he is an amusing, yet nostalgic Las Vegas revue for the generation of pop. For those who have the 20s to 60s not experienced as the singer himself even, but now rediscover for itself. Robbie Williams may have written with more than 70 million records sold music history. He may have created with his boy band the youth room soundtrack of millions of girls in the 90s. He likes solo coined the zeitgeist of the late millennium with hits like "Let Me Entertain You" and "Millennium." But who sees him and hears him as fervently all these 20th century classics intoned as he interprets the nonchalant crooner gestures with his own twist, as he flicks casual and schwoft and fawns, which noted: Even a Robbie Williams wants be part of something bigger. He bows to the giants. And so grows even a piece.

 

Towards the end he asks his father on stage

A very special older gentleman proves Williams towards the end of the honor: To Duke Ellington's "Do Nothin 'Till You Hear From Me", he asks his father to the stage, a distinguished graying man with a friendly smile with which he sings a duet. And as if his energy unlimited, Williams is junior to the finals again right gas. With bombast he pays homage to the city of cities, in which he ", New York New York" takes on Alicia Keys' "Empire State Of Mind" Frank Sinatra.

 

With a large medley of his hits from "Come Undone" to "Old Before I Die" invites Robbie to dignified swing party where he wraps himself in a Germany flag, which has given him a fan. Not to be missed, of course, his ultimate spine-tingling ballad "Angels" who sings the amount inspired. The thunderous cheers after stirring Robbie clearly. Only for Piano Accompaniment he agrees "My Way" to then call the round: "It was an almost spiritual experience tonight." With the snappy "Sensational" this stage animal finally dismisses his followers in the summer night. The faces: happy. Every single: part of something bigger. Name Robbie Williams
