I think so Pippa. I’ve heard it’s a mid November release

This is a difficult one! I’m going to go for: Gary: Back For Good Mark: Hold Up A Light Howard: Never Forget Jason: How Did It Come To This Robbie: The Flood Gary: this is extremely difficult. From Patience, Rule The World, These Days, Holding Back The Tears, Pray...Back For Good edges it for me. It was the first song that really struck me and turned TT into more than just a boyband. Mark: I love Hold Up A Light. It was one of my favourite memories from all of TT’s concerts to see Mark perform this during Circus Live. Circus really was Mark’s finest album I think. Howard: needless to say, one of the ultimate TT songs. Howard’s vocals are top notch and it’s great to see how much pride he has when he performs this. I also like Every Revolution from Wonderland and Here from Circus. Jason: the song we all wanted for Jason. Just a shame there’s not many others to choose from. Robbie: those first couple of lines from The Flood are so poignant and powerful. Robbie’s vocal is one of his best in years, and the live performances were fantastic. I’m hoping we’ll get a couple of new songs to choose from soon!

That’s pretty cool! 264m views! Imagine if YouTube was around when TT started out. Interesting that Cry is new viewed than Giants and that III has more views than Circus! Do we know what Robbie’s views are?

Fascinating to read! Thanks Nirvana! Just shows the staying power of Take That, with hopefully many more sales to come!

It really is... I just remember how powerful it was when he performed it live

Yeah, a bit like the rule the world extended version. I’m sure a lot won’t have heard it

Interesting...I didn’t realise this version existed? Nirvana, any idea if it was a bonus on a single promo perhaps?

Well, to be honest, the Ultimatw Collection is constantly selling and has been since the reunion. So I’m not sure they’d need to really release another CD to cannibalise those sales. I would prefer a 2006-2018 edition, with 4 extra tracks or something at the end.

Yeah, exactly, they’ve got 12 number 1s which is a CD in itself, and that obviously doesn’t include rule the world or the flood!

Laura, thanks so much for these extracts! They are incredibly interesting and you are extremely generous to post them! Thank you! :)

True, I wonder what the tour situation will be like. Rob might just do select dates or perhaps he will record a video of him singing and they’ll play it during songs like the Flood. Bit like Gary did with Elton during the SISYL tour

Jason really comes into his own during live performances; not sure how much he’d add vocally, especially as he hasn’t sung in a while! I think it’s pretty safe to assume Rob will be singing on a couple of these new tracks that are being mentioned

Gary’s just tweeted saying that great work has been done on the new TT GH collection, which will include a few surprises! As much as you could surprise people with a GH collection, maybe this is a reference to Rob or Jason having involvement in a song or two... :dance:

Would they not want it to reach platinum though? Another single release and a live dvd/cd package would have done the trick I thjnk

That would be amazing! Look forward to it :cheer:

Haha, yeah! :lol: Kay was very good that night with his one liners! Ironically Rob sung it quite well! Gary is lining up a sequel to Let it Shine next year according to reports, so perhaps we’ll get Robbie judging after all!

Laura, thanks so much for posting this. It must have taken a lot of your time and effort but it’s greatly appreciated. I did wonder why Rob didn’t judge that night, but now I completely get it. Lovely how much he enjoys The Flood (a great, great song!)

That would be amazing, thanks so much Laura!

Robbie did much better when he sung You Know Me (love this song) a few weeks after Bodies. I actually really enjoyed Let It Shine when they rejoined to sing The Flood. Does Reveal cover that, or was it too late/current?

Bit like when TT performed The Flood for the first time on XF. I was incredibly nervous that something might go wrong - more so from Robbie, but fear not. It was great. Robbie was much more confident when they performed on the XF final a few weeks later. He seemed a lot more comfortable.

III is slowly getting there, but I do hope Wonderland gets to platinum. Disappointing that they’ve decided against releasing the DVD. They could have done a double pack with the CD like they did with III, but perhaps that infamous error from the label put them off it!

Apparently he’s doing Love Won’t Wait (haven’t heard that one in a while) and For All That You Want. Can’t wait to hear these both live again. He’s also confirmed that they’ll be a ‘musical’ section, so expect Something About This Night, Dare and probably a link to The Band musical too! Exciting times! Roll on April!

I do quite like this! The Dolly Parton cover is the best though!

Guys, sounds like Wonderland won’t be given an official dvd release, but it’s still on Sky One catch up if you haven’t seen it yet.

I think I may have picked the worst time to have been away! :lol: Thanks for the work you’ve been doing on this in the meantime. I’m happy to make the best of our merged forums, and it’ll be nice that we can engage with your topics, as well as TT/Gary/Mark ones too in one place. I agree about the topics display though. It has the potential to get quite messy. I have sent Pippa, Feel the Feber and Milly messages to get their take on how we can figure out a work-around.
