Goth

I've listened to the album today :) I'm going to be honest and say that it's not my cup of tea :( (I perfer Intensive Care)

I'm also still recovering from MK! (I went to 19.09 gig) Support acts - Orson's set that night totally rocked! :) I have to say at first, I wasn't into Orson much, but after hearing their music live, I'm now totally hooked music wise! :) Basement Jaxx's show was cool too! R & band & choir put on a great show :) My highlights were LMEY, Monsoon & Rudebox :) R's duet with Johnny had me in stitches the whole time, as their jokes were so funny! I stood in the front row (further down the left side of the runway this time!) I took some photos, a few will appear on my blog in the coming weeks :) Overall, I've enjoyed the 5 R gig's (Dublin, Berlin, Glasgow X2, Milton Keynes X1) I've been to this year :) However, If I had to pick one, it would be ..... Dublin :dance: Because ..... security was very organised, the whole audience was amazing and the set list (imo) was more interesting (eg: APTC, No Regrets, Trouble With Me .....) :yahoo:

Thanks for the link Jupiter, I will check it out :)

Interesting article, a great read! :)

So do I! :)

I've just come back from a wonderful holiday in Scotland :) Both Glasgow gigs were fantastic! The audience were amazing and their was such a good vibe :) The only thing I didn't like was the pushing (in the pit) and the cold weather :( On the first night, I stood in the front. I had a good view of the stage, so was able to take some photos, including one of Rob holding the Scottish flag :) My highlight was LMEY, as everyone (first 3 rows or so in the pit) were bouncing :) Second night, I was in the seats which made a change for me as I usually stand at gigs. But I had an excellent view of the whole stage and everything :) The set list was slightly different to the first gig. For example, he sang clap your hands (old TT song) which was really good :) Overall, the gigs were amazing :)

I've kept my ticket as well. It would be fantastic if he does a free gig in Dublin next year :)

Jackie & Susie - Happy (belated) birthday!

My Glasgow tickets arrived today :) I'm off to Scotland this coming Wednesday (30th) , I can't wait!

Hi Maria :)

Yup, that's right :( He sang Kids though :)

Thanks for the links Jupiter :) I think the 12" vinyl is an import. Nevertheless, I will buy it, as I collect all Rob singles/albums that were released on vinyl.

I reckon Rudebox will go top 10 :) Slightly off topic, but does anyone know if the single will be released on vinyl?

Definitely Maybe

1997. Fantastic memories of that year :)

Your welcome! :D BTW, I've edited my review of the gig.

From where I was standing, the audience were singing and dancing to it :dance:

Thanks! :D It was tough (eg: all that running) but worth it in the end!

Edited post - I attended yesterday's gig at the Olympia Stadion. :dance: The venue is fantastic ( it reminded me of the "old" Wembley Stadium) Security wasn't as organised like the last R gig I went to (Dublin, Croke Park) Wristbands for access to the front section of the stage were handed out to people before the gates opened, providing that you had a valid concert ticket. Just as I got mine (I was second in the queue) people started pushing forward, which TBH I found quite scary :cry: When the gates opened, some people were pushing and stuff :( Getting to the stage was a nightmare, as you had to climb down 2 flights of stairs and run across the pitch :puke2: I stood in the front row (left side of stage, infront of the screen) :) Regardless of the "restrictive view" (eg: I was standing quite far away from the runway) I was able to take a few photos of Rob and his band :D The sound system was loud! I could hear every musical instrument! Support acts - Orson were okay. Their music is more rocky live. I'm not keen on the lead singer's voice, although do they have a good drummer and guitarist! Basement Jaxx were fantastic. They can sing well live :thumbs up: Onto Rob - IMO, he put on a great live performance :dance: His band were fantastic! My highlights were LMEY, Strong and Monsoon :) I heard Rudebox for the first time live :D I'm not going to judge it, until I hear the album in full. No Regrets, APTC and The Trouble With Me were not on the set list :(

Went to Dublin gig last month (my 14th RW gig), which was fantastic :) Going to both Berlin gigs later this month and 1st Glasgow gig in September :)

Opening song - Lazy Days Closing song - KOB&B TBH, I perfer the closing songs than the opening songs.

Dublin was FANTASTIC :) It's one of the best cities I have ever been to :) The people are friendly and the food is great :) I admit that Chris Coco's DJ set + Beautiful South were good :) R's gig was AMAZING :) One of my faves :) I stood in the front row on the left side of the runway (IMO, the best view of the stage) My highlights were Monsoon, APT & LMEY :dance: I took 150+ photos :D A few will be posted on my blog, (along with a mini-review by me) in due course :)

It's definitely Twinkle in that picture :) I stood next to her @ the gig!

I'm off now (having an early night) I'll be back on Sunday!
