This tour has received huge hype from the very start. A whopping 1.76 million tickets were sold for their 27 UK tour dates - 1.34 million of which were sold within 24hours of them being put on sale.
With the spectacular staging (monks, a huge dancing robot, flashing lights) and fabulous dancing, Take That had the entire crowd captivated from start to finish.
Take That have come along way since 1995...yes they have split, become solo artists and regrouped as a four piece, but that all seems a thing of the past. Today the boys are back, all five of them, doing what they do best.
During the show I liked the way the group took time to appreciate one anthers success - Robbie Williams performing some of his most successful solo hits (e.e. Angel and Let Me Entertain You) and the four piece; Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen performing their recently successful songs (Shine and Patience).
It has to be said though, the highlight of the evening was when a group of monks dressed in red cloaks holding lanterns walked onto the stage to introduce the boys. The boys reuniting and performing together is what the millions of people have flocked to see - and boy were they not left disappointed. With flawless and energetic performances, the band sang their most successful and well known hits "Never Forget and "Relight My Fire" - leaving no doubt in anyone's mind that they boys are here to stay.
The evenings set list was: Shine, Rule the World, Patience, Hold Up A Light, Greatest Day, Sgt.Pepper's VT, Let Me Entertain You, Rock DJ, Come Undone, Feel, Angels, The Flood, SOS, Underground Machine, Kidz, Pretty Things, Million Love Songs, Pray, Love Love, Never Forget, No Regrets, Relight My Fire and Eight Letters.
Awesome gig. 5/5
