Jay, I really don't know where Gary gets the energy to juggle so many things at one time. It seems he's in NY next week for a performance at the theatre. It does indeed appear that US fans will get some kind of TT show, as well.

 

Keeping my fingers crossed that they extend performances out to other European countries - would be so lovely for fans like Milly to see them live.

 

From your lips to God's ears :D

 

Jay, here is When Your Feet Don't Touch the Ground in better quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq7SN07-Qac

And here is the entire performance from Periscope (it's private, that's why it can't be found easily): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujZdURrXEeU...X5w&index=1

I have to say this intimate US gig and the Apple Music Festival have been the delight of the year for me. I'd have given anything to hear Gary sing Anywhere But Here, but I guess we can't have it all :)

 

 

I'm sad that Gary and TT's appearances on charity shows such as CIN are, from now on, an uncertainty, whereas, in the past, they were a given.

At the beginning of the year, I'd have been against them chancing an appearance on CIN, but now, things seem to have settled a bit and maybe the tour has repaired some of the damage caused by the tax scandal. They can't stay away forever from such appearances, just to avoid backlash. Haters are always gonna lurk and wait for the opportunity to trash them, so are newspapers.

I wish they'd do again An Audience with TT. If they put such a great show as they did last night, they might win quite a few new fans. Everybody was praising them on twitter last night.

 

My concern with the new music they're about to release is the promo opportunities. They usually release in November and have an XF performance, which ensures a lot of publicity for them. Are there any big shows they can perform on in October to help sell the new album/the re-issue of III? They probably want to avoid clashing with Adele in November, which isn't bad, but I hope the label gets them big slots to make the public aware of the new release.

Sorry, Jay. Rubbish IT skills. I found it by chance. It's about 10 minutes long but haven't been able to find it again on You Tube. It was something to do with Periscope - Finding Neverland.

 

How good were TT at the Apple Festival last night!!! Day off work today and full concert in on You Tube- fantastic, and it goes to show that they don't need a full production to put on a great show. My only criticism - yet again a lack of songs off the lll album.

 

I have another one: Mark's odious shirt :)

Seriously, these guys need to learn to communicate with each other: Gary was supper smart, while Howard and Mark looked like they were about to play a basketball match.

They have to find a middle ground with their styles.

But, of course, this is just something very shallow and unimportant, more of a laughing matter than a proper criticism. If they weren't so weird sometimes, they wouldn't be so endearing.

I must say, Gary's vocals were incredible. The notes he hit on relight my fire were just woooah.

 

Howard did very well too. Great to see his personality in a few of those quips. I thought Mark's microphone had some trouble.

 

Milly, I so agree! It would amazing to hear the album sung by Gary alone.

Woo! Great to see!

Sorry, I'm not too familiar with this topic. How does one decide a forum's popularity? Is it only on buzzjack?

It's down to views on buzzjack only,posts help to as they bring views. Number 2 is great well done everyone.

The new single and news of the album re-release has helped add more buzz (excuse the pun :P ) to the forum and it is busier than usual the last couple of weeks. Has the forum ever made number 1 on this chart?

I think it's certainly achievable!

I dont think it ever made number 1 but it did hit number 2 a few times (not very often) has achieved top 10 position a good few times.

Congratulations, everyone!

Well done us,great result to get number 1 at last. Now we just need to get take that another number 1 too!!

This is a wonderful outcome, huge well done everyone.

Its great the forum is doing so well. I know we have only a few posters, its like a little family but the posts and topics are always enjoyable.

Agreed! I genuinely look forward to reading everyone's opinions on here.

 

Must be said that you and Kath have done an excellent job building a great environment for everyone in this forum!

Thank you Jay,its a shame Kathy isnt a fan of Take That anymore as she done some fantastic posting and while i dont always agree with them she has great opinions in her posts.

Aphrodite like others is a huge part of this forum. I am not as familiar with Kath, but the forum would be nowhere without all their previous hard work.

I can understand Kath's reasons not being a TT fan any longer, but, she is quite an interesting poster, I must say..... B-)

Yes, and it does show the different reasons why what were once fans are no longer fans. This change happens for a variety of reasons.
