Posted January 1, 200817 yr Wow wow wow! Was amazing Some great performances and the lads looked stunning! - Jason was yum! - Any videos/youtubes PLEASE POST!!! Sugababes were the guest- they were good but no where near as good as TT I loved Patience and Shine and when they got chatting to the crowd about the 1991 Take That and Party album! Great stuff! - Great way to see in 2008 - watchign Take That live at the O2!!! Edited January 1, 200817 yr by designer_label
January 1, 200817 yr I thought it was fabulous (although we only had it on in the background as we were messing about with fireworks at my Sister's place). Wish they'd have shown the whole thing though - Reach Out was a standout from the tour, as was It Only Takes a Minute (so TV viewers didn't get to see the pole-dancing). I was amazed to see the place full on New Year's Eve though! Don't people spend time in the own homes with their families anymore? As much as I like TV - I wouldn't miss a New Year's Eve spent with family for anything! Gary's voice was terrific - especially on Could It Be Magic and Patience (thought Howard sounded a bit shaky on Never Forget - but that treadmill idea is fab - but again - they didn't show the concert version - with the 'fan' screen behind them and all the things going through history - from Adam & Even to the lunar landings) I suppose I'm just going to have to wait for the DVD in February to see the full monty again. I did like the Sugababes - but they sounded really nervous. And it was great to see a crowd that was 50% of each sex! Norma
January 1, 200817 yr I thought it was fantastic - I agree though it's a pity that we didn't see the whole concert, but they certainly chose the best songs to show imo I thought Jay was funny, wanting to start the countdown all the time....no not yet Jay And Gary was certainly on top form - who says he's not a showman, he was obviously loving it on stage last night. The highlights for me were same as on tour, Rule the World, Relight my fire and Could it be magic. It's a pity they didn't have the screen for Never Forget, but it looked brilliant to see everyone's hands in the air, and I agree Norma, it was great to see so many blokes there,singing along and enjoying it too. I hope this will be on a bonus dvd sometime, what a great way to see in the New Year

I still don't know if the tape-recording we did last night worked - because if not - I'll have officially missed it as we only had it on in the background! Fingers crossed for the tape (hope what happened to the Diana concert hasn't happened to this one!) Norma
January 1, 200817 yr it got 2.7 million viewers i read today ienjoyed someof the show as i recorded it as we were watching joolls holland etc,been honest i was very disappointed by the relight my fire and could it be magic i found the vocals waek and the songs boring all the others were great patience and rule the world were absolutly brilliant

I still liked it though - it reminded me of Live and Let Die. And I loved Could It Be Magic - I much prefer the slower version than the 'original' cover they did. Still - really mega-disappointed they didn't include It Only Takes A Minute and Reach Out. Norma
January 1, 200817 yr ya i would liked to have seen pray and it only takes a minute,i think mark was drinking red wine before they perfromed either that or terrible lipstick
January 1, 200817 yr ya i would liked to have seen pray and it only takes a minute,i think mark was drinking red wine before they perfromed either that or terrible lipstick They also didn't show the 'dad dancing' that Gary and Howard made part of the tour! Norma
January 1, 200817 yr Author It was live - and they had limitied time - they couldnt do loads of songs! was truely amazing!
January 1, 200817 yr they had limited time i guess It was a full concert, ITV only showed it live from 11.15, well actually the sugababes weren't live as there was an interval at the 02 at 11.15, so it was only live from Shine onwards They looked completely knackered though bless them

Mark especially - and he's the youngest! I've just watched it again on ITV2 - and I think Shine sounded better last night when I was a bit drunk! Couldn't really fault anything else though - and the more I see/hear this version of Could It Be Magic - the more I love it (shame about Kate Thornton wittering on through Gary's piano introduction to it).
