Hi Alex, no comments from me because I save all chapters until the book is done. Only then I will convert it into my Kindle and read it in one go.

 

So you have to be a bit patient until you get my comments but they will come. And I had to be patient over the last months too so it is only fair :D .

 

But again my great thanks. I can't wait to start the book.

Hi Lundi!

Sure, in fact there are only 2 chapters will come :)

 

This one is about UNICEF routine.

The Colonge gig is one of my favourites , reading this also reminded me of the incidence of where the guy knocked him off the stage , I had forgotten about that ...

OK then, it's oficially the last chapter of the book :(

(Lundi) But you can wait for next week for some additonal surprise.

 

The current one is rather short but rather funny and it's with Jonny!

CHAPTER 20 (Jonny Wilkes)

OK, great. Then I will make the layout in my copy a bit nicer and after adding your surprise I will convert it and then I can finally start reading. :cheer:

Interesting piece about how SA came about, I did not know the idea came from Long Way Around , would like to see Jonny & Robbie on the field together again one day :)

 

Well, as I promised here is one more chapter based on some interviews' mix of different colleagues during his carreer.

It's not included in official book, it's just my personal one.

I hope it's going be a good adding to the stuff.

 

Interviews with Karl Brazil, Tom Longworth, Mark Owen and some more guys.

 

The name of chapter... it's for memory to Ennio Morricone (he has been a composer of Sergio Leone's movie) whom I always loved and it's a name of Robbie's tour in 1999. Rather funny that it's number 21st as 2021 year...

 

 

CHAPTER 21 (P.S. For A Few Dollars More)

Enjoyed that chapter Alex, interesting that both Tom & Karl both talk about the O2 venue for the Take The Crown gig as being their favourite venue., apart from Knebworth it is one of mine also. I have started watching some old gigs on tv, last night I watched Rogers from Pink Floyd ( a band that Tom Longworth likes ) , I got to see Roger in Dublin in 2018, it was a fab gig. I am now starting to watch Take the Crown at the O2, I remember really enjoying that show & I have not played songs from that album for some time

 

BTW Alex I like the graphics you used for each chapter , looks really good...

 

Thanks for sharing ..

Thanks Tess!!

Also I had had some materials with Neil Taylor (ex-guitarist) too but then this 21st chapter could be too long so I just threw away this material in the end.

Also I wanted to do something more interesting but unfortunately something that I was planned did not work out. I will trey to do that but already not as part of this book :)

 

I agree with about O2 TTC (I still haven't got this CD..!), it has been pretty amazing by everything.

Maybe only Rob himself wasn't in the best conditions regarding body, I suppose you can remember that 2012 promo. He wasn't look like a popstar that time by my opinion. But his voice, setlist, meetings with Guy, Gary, production and this venue with a ring scene...Yeah! It was great!

 

I got to see Roger in Dublin in 2018, it was a fab gig
101%!

I got to see Roger twice: in...2012? It was The Wall concert, it has been great but I wasn't ready for that music that time.

But then I came back to Roger in 2018 too. Us & Them... what a song itself!

 

Btw... Roger performed at the same Moscow arena where Rob performed in Russia at first time in 2003 (was a first concert of anybody for me ever!).

And I've been almost on the same seats on a balcony like then. Now this Olympics 1980 arena has been destroyed almost at once after Roger's concert.

So it's a history already...

 

BTW Alex I like the graphics you used for each chapter , looks really good...

Oh, thanks!

 

Actually... I have something else ;) In 2-3 days.

I especially liked the Us & Them gig. the themes used in the graphics from the Refugee crisis to Trump and also referencing Palestine . As a musician David Gilmour is my favourite. I always fall back on PF music when I need to relax, no wonder they were such a big hit in the 60's adored by all their psychedelic fanbase :lol: . I had checked put prices for DG's last tour & the cost was 500 quid for a ticket which was crazy , if he toured again I might think about it .

 

Yes physically Robbie was not in great shape in 2012 but by God has he turned it around since . I did love the round stage & would love to see something like that again , let's hope it happens. At this stage given what's going on at the minute I would love any kind of gig , I will never complain again , we took for granted what we had .

So, I confirm that I've prepared a paperbook version of this one!

I think it's a good idea to say this on Robbie's birthday :)

That looks great Alex ! ^_^

Saying not so much - just a basic ones: interviews with him teammates / now it's in a paperbook format / 21 chapters, 220 photos, 55 photos and some quote by Lee Lodge.

Looks fab Alex, great job, well done, really nice piece of work
