Robbie Williams in Verona: the king is tired!

 

We were the first Italian leg of The Heavy Entertainment Show Tour, in Verona. But what we have seen is not what you would imagine from the name of the tour

 

Forty thousand people, coming from all Italy, to fill the Stadio Bentegodi Verona. It is on July 14, the first Italian date of The Heavy Entertainment Show Tour Robbie Williams, the 15 stops off at the Lucca Summer Festival and the 17th in collisions. Party on 2 June from Manchester, come to us between security measures that the start time close to diminish because the queue is long, too long, and you need to open the side gates otherwise people will not come in time .

 

Inside the climate it is of great celebration . The Robbie Williams people is always the same, for many years now.

 

Fan faithful, some grown up with Take That , others have achieved up to his twenty years of solo career , often thanks to a live, where the pop star was able to conquer anyone was watching. From clubs, arenas, theaters, up - today - at stadiums

 

The Bentegodi is ready, besides music of ' Anthem English God Save The Queen , as they move along the words revisited to measure pop star, in a large karaoke in which the audience is singing God Bless our Robbie , God bless our Robbie , to welcome the English star like a king. And it is now clear that it is, at least as far as pop, but he must declare it, confirm it, repeat it, each time more. It's part of the character and is among the reasons why it is so much adored. And basically Robbie knows that here Italy, where he had been missing for two years, the public expects it, acclaimed him, loves him, anyway. As a king precisely. Although it is clear after a few songs that this time the king is a bit 'tired.

 

 

It starts with the songs warms stage ( The Heavy Entertainment Show and Let me entertain you ). The ladder moves between each of the last album ( Party Like a Russian for the occasion becomes "like an Italian") to early career successes ( Freedom 90 , his first single, this evening dedicated to George Michael). There are songs to which he is particularly fond of, almost more fans ( Moonsoon ) . There is the beginning of Robbie ( She's the one ), there is Robbie reminiscent of the great songs of the other ( Minnie the Moocher and Sweet Caroline sung on stage with his father) and that of his hits ( Rock DJ, Come Undone ). There's Robbie dad who dedicated the song to her children, but also to all our ( Love my Life ). And there is also the Robbie of that part of the path that had not worked much ( Rudebox ).

 

 

Except that, eighteen songs in total , are perhaps a little 'for a show so few expected. The concert starts at 21:25, before 23 is already over. Robbie sings, makes you sing both the public and does all he has always been accustomed to seeing: winks, says the words he knows in Italian, launches the chorus of "world champions", brings to the stage a girl from the front row engages the audience in improvised choruses, with so many songs to be sung, and not his: from Livin 'on a Prayer by Bon Jovi Back for Good Take That, through Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees. But bale less, gets excited less, and yes, even less singing . In some songs you miss and the final feeling is that everything ends too quickly.

 

It is not what we imagined from the name of the tour, which is also the album: The Heavy Entertainment Show, heavy entertainment, they hint that the role of Robbie, is not only a singer, but an entertainer, actor, star , divo, including words, jokes, gags and songs. Everything is there, but there is not.

 

 

There are also fireworks, confetti, fire, clouds . A scene led by two great boxer Robbie that form the big screen, where they spend the live images and graphics cured, surrounded by a beam of light. There are dancers, the musicians, the band. There are all the ingredients to make a great show, in fact. Yet Angels , comes too quickly, to declare the end of the concert, which is closed with a note on My Way , the Frank Sinatra song that now is a bit 'his as well. But basically this is a message, I do everything "in my own way." And the audience applauds, however, still screaming, still loves him. And that's okay. But, dear Robbie, this time we have to say, is not the way to which you have become accustomed. And we know that surprise us again. Probably as early as next concert. In Lucca , where Robbie torna after two years of age ( and where two years ago had given the best of themselves ), and Barolo , for the first time in collisions.

With a back operation in the pipeline can you really see Australia happening :unsure:

 

I guess only RW knows that.

He cut the gigs to ninety minutes yesterday and tonight. I wonder if that was planned.

I guess the longer the tour goes on the harder it is on his back so it's not surprising that this s happening. Apart from Robbie doing himself a personal injury it also compromises his performance as an artist , people are not used to see him like this on stage hence such reviews as the Vanity Fair one. I am not sure what the circumstances were regarding this tour but I reckon he had signed on the dotted line before he injured his back & had no choice but go ahead with it. The main thing at this stage is that he does not do himself a longterm serious injury because that would be the end of his touring .

Although in fairness, I think that is the only review that has "noticed" he's not moving as freely as usual. I saw a good review the next night at Lucca. I guess it changes on a day by day basis.

 

I think unless you're a fan who has seen him multiple times before, you wouldn't notice anything was amiss. He's doing a brilliant job at covering it.

 

I'm guessing this tour has been booked a year ahead. A year ago he was actually playing ten minutes at Soccer Aid. If he'd cancelled the tour there would have been a lot of abuse and negative reaction. Look at the abuse Adele got and that was "just" for two concerts. Imagine cancelling a whole tour?

 

He's nearly half way through. Hopefully it's bearable for him and he can get to the end and then see what happens next. Sending him lots of love for it.

Guys, does it possible to buy Robbie's masks at merch shops before concerts?

There is one idea...

 

 

Not that I can remember Alex but I might be wrong.

 

I've only ever seen them in gift shops/ card shops here in UK.

Back in Germany tonight. ^_^
