This was my fav concert of all, the highlight was Robbie falling on his backside. It made me laugh for ages, I also sky+ it as it was on live, I was delighted that I could play back the fall over and over and over until I had to get a new sky+ box boo!! Its about time for a new tour surely??!
Fantastic night - got tickets for the gold circle and got loads of great pics - when I've found them I'll post them on here. (I've not lost them - just stored on an old pc and need to transfer them to new one) I agree - should be due another tour - I need my Robbie fix lol
I could be what you call a concert virgin, Robbie was my first, absolutely amazing night, how can one person get you totally transfixed??? and there was thousands of people but he managed to get your full attention for the full concert. I also loved the fall over, with the crowd chanting "He fell over" . One of the best nights of my life, special thanks to the man himself, hope to see you again soon. I also need a Robbie fix lol x.
OH MY GOD there are no words to describe how amazing this night was....right from the que to pushing in the crowd, to seeing that amazing moment when Robbie popped out from under the stage! ive never been so excited in my life, it was better than when I sae Michael jackson in 1996. I adore this guy so much, and seeing him live was an honour. Amazing! xxxxxx
Anyone stood right outside Golden circle,at the fence.On the right side?i just wonder if someone have any pictures taken on that side.i was hopin to se me and my bestfriend:)
And BTW what a night!!!!i will take this evening to the grave with me.Thanks for all the memories Rob:)
I was there on the night that Rob fell - very very funny especially when you've had a few beers! I have watched the replay on You Tube sooooo many times. The whole day and gig for me were in third place as the one of the best days of my life. Best day was having my lovely son and second was marrying my hubby and seeing Rob live in such a gorgeous setting was just amazing and definitely up there. Every time I drive over to Leeds for work it takes me back to that fabulous day. I remember every single thing about it. Thanks Rob - can't wait for the new album....and you need to play the MEN at Manchester then it will just be a short hop to the Lowry but don't smoke in your bed its dangerous..lol..!! Loving the new website as well! PS I just got a new puppy dog, 12 week old bullmastiff and he weighs 10kg already! He is so cute though.
He's a legend!!! My friend and I went to this gig, best day ever! We arrived early afternoon, got a really good spot on the right of the stage on the banking. It was a gorgeous sunny day, we just sat and soaked up the atmosphere. The support acts were great but when it was time for Rob to come on I thought I was gunna pass out with excitement!! (I felt 16 yrs old, unfortunately I was 45!!) Cant wait for the new album and hopefully the tour to follow. Im sure he'll be back to his best and shut the critics up!
It was endeed a beautiful night:)did you take any photos?
I was there with my daughter and two friends. This concert was the best ever, Robbie you were brilliant!!!! Thanks so much for playing Leeds xxx
I was there with my mate, we were right at the front. Even managed to get ourselves on tele. It was the best concert I have ever seen (and i have seen some concerts). Absolutely thrilling, fabulously entertaining and serverly sexy. What more can any woman want. Cant wait for the next tour, we will be there xxx
Close Encounters tour part one. I loved the concert because it was Robbie. I can remember it like it was yesterday!! I had started my teaching career the Monday before and the first week was so crazy, but at the end of it i had Robbie to look forward too. Once just wasn't enough so i went to Milton Keynes the following Saturday too. By the end of that week my new class were sick of me talking about Robbie and how fantastic he was, but i trained all 30 of them in to loving him too. A truely amazing concert!!!!
A friend who is a big Robbie fan rang me about 3 days before the concert saying someone at work had offered her 2 tickets, she was so excited so told her to get them and we will go! We set off on the Saturday, beautiful sunny day and it just got better and better. We had an amazing night, brilliant atmosphere, great songs and entertainment at its best. Best concert I have been to, so glad I said yes!!
Great memories of a fabulous concert whenever I play the Sky transmission back (yes its still on my hard drive). We were outside the gates by 11.30 sitting in the sun and soaking up the atmosphere. Got a great position just behind the barriers from the Golden Circle (BTW, how the hell do you get tickets to get in there??) so the platform at the end of his Ego Walk was just in front of us and we had a great view. The noise and excitement when the countdown started was fantastic. Cant wait for the next tour. Would be great if you came to the North East Rob. I'm a Toon fan myself but I hear the Stadium of Shite puts on some good shows (LOL) although I've not been myself (its enemy territory). PS: I hear TT are after your Knebworth record - maybe you need to do 5 nights next tour!!
This time I took my daughter, she was 13 at the time and the we got on the front row. She was absolutely made up, until the mean old crowd security guy wouldn't let her go over the barrier to get to the toilet so that I could stay and keep our place. Managed to get back down to the front though, for another brilliant Robbie experience.
Brilliant Night! We got to the golden circle barrier after a little merge in turn. I was a bit sad he didn't sing Place to Crash, that's my fave, but it was still a fantastic gig!!! :)
Took my two daughters (aged 9 and 10 at the time) and we all had a fantastic nite. Basement Jaxx we pretty good too and really got the crowd up for the big event. Can't wait for the next tour xx
My friend and I went to see this gig, and I almost passed out in shock it was amazing, the weather was glorious, the atmosphere was electric, and the man himself was fabulous, I screamed that much I lost my voice, much to the joy of my kids and my boyfriend. I felt that I was 16 again and not as old as I was then, when Robbie fell over I must admit, it was the funniest thing ever, especially as Come Undone is my favourite Robbie song. Robbie you have cost my fortune, but you are soooo worth it. Don't change and continue being yourself, England loves you and so do I, (much to the annoyance of my ever patient boyfriend of 5 years) take care xxx
I saw Robbie in Paris and went to both nights at Roundhay Park, absolutely fantastic all nights, I still have the saturday night concert on my Sky+ and love watching it, can't wait for the next tour, please hurry up. xxx
I have the saturday night concert on in my dvd collection, i wish a tour would come up
Don't play the MEN again its a crap venue either do a small gig at the apollo or kick Oasis's arse and do a massive Heaton Park Gig. Leeds was great but I loved Knebworth it rocked and have some amazing memories and photo's will try to post them. Sorry to disagree with you Jools. x
the day rob proposed to me you all see the photograph of him going down on one knee
When I discovered Robbie was playing Roundhay Park I knew it was fate and I HAD to go! My parents live about 10 min walk away and this made it even more fab. I had seen him years previously at the v festival at temple newsam which was amazing but this was something else. Weather couldn't have been better, such a top day.
I was also there it was an amazing night
We got tickets from my parents as a wedding present! My husband wasn't best pleased but he really, really enjoyed the show, much as it pained him to admit it! It was a lovely day, fab warm-up acts too! Would love to go again although I think the atmosphere in Germany was better! Ace! Oh and I loved it too! Haha!
Oh what a night! Got ticketes as soon as they came out & took a Robbie conert virgin with me. We had a brilliant night, & laughed when he fell over! Caught it all on Sky so we have the memories to live with us for ever. It was his best concert by far! I'm having major withdrawal symptoms. It MUST be time for another tour. Bring it on Robbie!
Fantastic show both nights x I was so lucky to be there x
I was lucky enough to be there, front row of gold circle!! Got spotted on tv a couple of times but the best one was when he sang 'back for good.' He walked across the stage, looked straight at me as I was singing 'i want you back for good' the expression on my face is priceless!! What an amazing night, I'll never forget it!! :-)
Perfectly gorgeous end of the summer day in Roundhay...went with hubby but go in amongst a mad crowd of girlies from leeds who shared their picnic with us...... Concert was awesome......time it took to get out of the carpark after was mad...LOL... One of the best days of my life..... Loved basement jaxx too....
what a legend, 3 years ago to the day we rocked roundhay Park. Gorgeous man with an amazing set. Basement Jaxx were the perfect support.... roll on your next tour robster!!!!
