Saw the show last night. I find it hard to articulate how I feel about it. A list of superlatives just isn't enough.
Just stunning. Incredibly moving. They were so sharp! So many of the original dance moves and the guys all looked so good! Jason was always so fit but now...
I liked the tweeking of certain songs like Sure and It Only Takes A Minute.
Mark did his centipede dance move thing!
Actually started to cry during Never Forget. The whole rush of nostalgia and such an amazing show combined with the lyrics just got to me! They have to keep going now! They don't need Robbie at all!
God, I'm still in a daze. Unbelievable. Been to over 200 gigs/shows/concerts since the last time i saw them and none of them have come anywhere close to matching what i saw last night.
Have to say I'm a little surprised that the whole Take That thing isn't getting more attention here. Or is it just all the old saddos like me that are bothered?

Nah. It's just that this is one tour that is getting universal attention, so we can talk to our friends and work colleagues about it and they actually know who we are talking about!

The dancing in the rain to Could It Be Magic was the greatest thing. Ever. Burlesque Relight My Fire was amazing. Dame Beverley was a suitable replacement to that witch Lulu. Howard's Chewbacca inspired chaps were spectacular. Sure / Dirty Harry was fabulous.
I'm finding it hard to really talk about at great length except to say Jason Orange stripped to the waist in black PVC trousers was the highlight.

Went to the Glasgow show on Sunday and thought it was amazing - only went as I had bought tickets for my sister who is the biggest Take That fan ever. Beverly Knight was brilliant! It's a good job they're not playing any stadium dates up in Scotland as Lulu was definately booed when they flashed up a picture of them together from back in the day

I was at the Monday Glasgow show and it was fantastically over-the-top. The set must have cost zillions: pyrotechnics, rain, holograms, almost nudie ladies suspended from the ceiling in hula hoops.
The build-up at the start was ace: the mad pop scientist gets a call, ambles down the annals of poptime, replete with discarded Johnson’s Baddy Power t-shirt etc and opens the “manufactured” vault, filled 'I Robot' stylee with pop lads.
I loved all the “how to create the perfect boy band stuff”. There was a slightly cynical feel to the whole event, so it needed to be done. Gary is still gloriously rubbish at dancing, but the others were amazing. Especially Mark, he’s very springy. I was killing myself when they started breakdancing, but it was highly impressive.
The sound was way better than when I saw them before. (August 1995 – I just recall Gary sounding like a chipmunk and the others being pretty much inaudible over the insane screaming). How cool was the tango version of ‘It Only Takes a Minute’? Could have done without the Beatles Medley, but the platform at the back thing was cool.

* Could have done without bloody Flower of Scotland * Wanted I Found Heaven, I Can Make It, Wasting My Time and Whatever You Do To Me * Was quite cyncial that it wasn't actually water but a glittery lighting effect until I saw them sloshing about the stage - surely a Health & Safety issue? * The How To Make A Boyband was ace, loved the "one member is reluctant to dance bit" * They didn't seem to have aged that much at all * I am now at age where I can appreciate the loveliness of Howard's body despite me not liking the face * Mark's breakdancing - wonderful * I really missed Apache and Robbie's raps on Once Youve Tasted Love and Relight My Fire * Mucho shots of women's arses on the big screen I could have done without, at time it was like being back at the Britney gig

I would have died if they'd done Wasting My Time and I Can Make It. Can you imagine how awesome that would have been?
It's still all I'm talking about. I got it bad!

I saw them on friday night - i'm still stunned, they were just amazing. I feel ashamed that I never really realised how good they were. What a show - and how fit do Jason and Howard look. Beautiful outfits and trousers. Gary in a fur coat. Mark singing Babe - actually I always liked that song. One of the best atmospheres in an arena, I've ever experienced. And there was no one drunk and slurring into their mobile all the way through, which was a bonus.

went on saturday and have to say it was my most amazing concert going experience of my entire life. i did have a little cry when all 15k people put their hands up for never forget without the need for a single prompt. it was everything i wanted and more , really glad robbie didnt show up and steel their thunder. nigel martin smeith was there and he was boo'ed which was rather funny though.
and is it me or is gary barlow all foxy now ? he was rather sexy during the it only takes a minute tango .
