Robbie Williams

Yes, I went to see the arrogant english sod. Why? Well, it was mainly due to a friend imploring me to go with her while I was still in Sweden - it turns out that her husband didn't want to go and she wasn't keen on going alone! I also quite like some of the music and do have 1 cd, and I failed to convince my friend to sell the tickets at a massive profit on Ebay :-) However the show was FANTASTIC - I'm still not convinced that he has a particularly good voice, but what a showman! It was an outdoor concert in an oval with 45000 people. The stage rig was as high as the 3-tier grandstand, so probably 20-25 metres, and it began with fireworks being fired from the top of the stage rig, and also bursts of flame coming both from the top and along the stage - and it was real as you could feel the heat! He played all of the expected big hits, interacted well with the crowd, and manage to combine being amusing, charming and offensive. I'd always wanted to see a really BIG show in the Madonna/U2 way of doing things, and this was certainly that so I'm very glad the Ebay idea was rejected.

Watch this space for an Elton John review soon :-)
