December 5, 200618 yr Author From http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow Robbie's personality-plus wows 'emDANIELLE O'DONOHUE, MUSIC WRITER December 06, 2006 01:15am POP superstar Robbie Williams was genuinely moved by the reception of the Adelaide crowd at his AAMI Stadium concert on his Close Encounters tour. There were fireworks, jokes about the cricket and some of the biggest pop hits of the last 15 years but it was a personality bigger than Britain that most delighted the 60,000 strong crowd. On one of the biggest stages ever constructed for a concert in Adelaide, Robbie sang and danced his way through a joyous celebration of his solo career. He also took a moment to acknowledge his former life as a boy band member, singing a moving rendition of his old group Take That's biggest hit Back For Good. Robbie had said this current year-long international tour would be his last for quite some time but clearly relishing the response of the Adelaide crowd, Robbie admitted it was nights like this that reinforced his reasons for performing. "This is the most fun I've had onstage all year." "Tonight's really blown me away and made me reconsider my career. Thanks for having me. You've really touched my heart." The songs almost took a back seat to the singer's epic personality but hits Let Me Entertain You, Angels, Rock DJ and Feel got the entire crowd on their feet. And the singer knew he couldn't get through the night without mentioning the cricket loss endured by his fellow countrymen earlier in the day. Robbie sang the line `We don't like cricket, oh no', dedicated a song to Shane Warne and with his trademark mischevious grin joked, "At least, there will be one Pommie winning in Adelaide tonight.' Crowd favourite, the sing-along classic Angels was for the English team, with Robbie telling the boys to "Pull it back, lads. They've had enough stick today." He also dedicated hit Kids, originally recorded as a duet with Kylie, to our very own pop superstar, saying, "God bless you Kylie. Welcome back. You're lovely." During Come Undone Robbie sang the line `Australia I'm your son. Will you have me?' The answer, Robbie, is a resounding yes. :dance:
December 5, 200618 yr Author The reviews from Oz have been fantastic. It's amazing how differently their press see him from our lot of scummy maggots. <_<
December 5, 200618 yr Author I was wondering how the Adelaide show would go. Especially after that report on the U2 concert a couple of weeks ago when the journo was criticising the crowd for being totally flat and unenthusiastic. Guess our boy managed to get them going. :dance:
December 5, 200618 yr Well if anyone could get a crowd going it's definatly Robbie :lol: Glad it went so well. Apperently U2 have recorded EVERY concert on their tour and will pic out the best parts from each gig and release a 3D film :o If only Rob would film each gig :arrr:
December 5, 200618 yr Author Twinkle seemed to think he was going. I've lost track. Think he's going to about 25 concerts. :P
