Posted December 28, 200618 yr Ok i was going to wait for pictures but i will add them later Sydney 9th december - Tripper and I arrived at 10am in the morning and started queuing. We were only 80 or so people from the front. In the queue we met Jobaby (TRWS) her friend Beth and Msjett (TRWS) - All day we sat there in the heat and I paid the price with some of the worst sunburn ive ever had. - At 5pm we moved inside the gates and sat patiently at the barrier. I was second row behind Jobaby. The evening began with Chris Coco playing music for us, but no body knew who he was so it wasnt too great. At 7pm Sneaky Sound System came out for their support act. The lead singer Connie saw me standing out in the crowd as im a giant freak. She waved and stuff and i didnt think much of it. - After a long day the time came as the fireworks and lights went off and Robbie appeared onstage at the end of the catwalk. The crowd went wild as he sung radio. I even got a head nod from him during monsoon cause i was threre singing along. He told many interesting stories and jokes, mostly about Perth and how weird he thinks they are it was hilarious. A group of girls behind me told me that the backup dancer was starring at me but i wasnt sure. The encore was awesome and Rudebox went off making the whole crowd go crazy. Overall my first gig was great and i was completely knackered. Sydney 10th december - No time to rest as i had to line up again in the middle of the night for front row spots. We were all tired and grumpy plus i was sunburn to hell. - We waited what seemed forever and then finally the gates opened again at five. - Like the first night Chris Coco was out there entertaining us for a warm up. But this time we knew him so it was alot better and the crowd was more involved with him taking our picture etc. Sneaky Sound System returned and again Connie saw me and waved at me saying hello. Sure enough the backup dancer was starring at me again and she even waved this time. Robbie was much better this night and him and Johnny were very camp together but it was hilarious. This time Rob went over time and couldnt sing Kids so it ended with Angels and then him mooning us. Brisbane 13th december - Again out lining up at midnight, but this time in my hometown i was so excited. - Brisbane was so much better, we had shade and more toilets this time when we lined up. - We got to go inside at 4pm this time which was too early as we had to wait in the heat inside the stadium which was hell. - As usual Chris Coco was there and no one knew him but i yelled out and had my picture taken so i was happy. Sneaky sound system again now they were boring us, but still i got another wave. Rob wore a Brisbane Lions AFL shirt onstage which was ace! Johnny decided to tell us that Rob had a toe infection due to the fact that he picks his toe nails. During the take that speech a lot of males including me yelled out BOO to take that. So Rob smartly called us all closet homo-sexuals to shut us up and it worked. A crazy fan flashed Rob and he made her do it again for the camera so we could all see. The show ended and I was amazed as it was my favourite of the four. I made a banner which was mentioned on the Chris Coco website - Also there is an anti smoking law in Australia prohibiting smoking in public areas such as stadiums. Rob didnt care as he smoked all during the tour onstage. So embarassingly enough Brisbane fined him for it, but the State government told him not to worry and they paid the fine for him whilst appologising aswell. So in Melbourne they had signs on the stage saying no smoking but that didnt stop him Melbourne 17th december - We didnt line up early for this one as we were all too tired, so we had a lazy day - We stumbled in the gates at 5 and still made it close to the barrier anyway. - Chris Coco was onstage again, followed by Sneaky sound system, but as we were on the other side i wasnt noitced. - Rob came onstage and Melbourne went off. Johnny and Rob had so much fun there and i kept quiet when he mentioned take that. Rudebox was probably the favourite of the tour as it went off each night. Rob was so sad in the end but he tried to hide it as he sang She's the one as an extra for the crowd... a fantastic tour for me and i loved every moment of it other things - me and spellbound(TRWS) went out for my birthday drinks and ended up at the same hotel as rob but didnt see him - got to meet spellbound, msjett, roz, jobaby, louise, scarlett, robgirl, GMF all from TRWS it was a blast Edited December 28, 200618 yr by Osiris

December 28, 200618 yr Now this really pissed me off!!!! An extract from an article in http://www.thewest.com.au 'The biggest gig by far in 2006 came from a boy band refugee that doesn’t write his own songs, sometimes forgets the words and reckons rebellion is having a smoke on stage. And Robbie Williams’ Australian tour, which kicked off at Subi Oval on November 30, was not only the biggest of the year, it holds the record as the highest grossing concert tour in Aussie history. Bad boy Robbie filled the home of the West Coast Eagles twice over, something even promoter Michael Chugg thought was a fantasy. I would’ve rather seen U2 or the Rolling Stones — both bands skipped Perth this year — but I’m not sure we could’ve squeezed them in ... Either way, get your breath back over the holidays — the gigs will be rolling on even before you’ve finished singing Auld Lang Syne. ' Will 'journalists' ever give him the credit he's due?
December 28, 200618 yr Author oh please this is just coming from some sad reporter who is just cut because U2 skipped Perth. grew up you weirdo. The biggest gig by far in 2006 came from a boy band refugee that doesn't write his own songs -COMPLETELY UNTRUE its so pathetic when someone has to insult someone else just to sell a paper Edited December 28, 200618 yr by Osiris
