'Robbie Williams's return to solo touring after five years reminds us that he is up there with the very best live entertainers'

'"Stayyyyyyyyy!" scream 2,300 voices as Leeds is engulfed in a hurricane of near-orgasmic adulation, perhaps the closest modern pop gets to Beatlemania... Pop has few stars as charismatic and volcanic'

I was allocated a ticket/chance to get one but the venue is refusing to allow anyone in wheelchairs to attend - anyone turning up with be turned away with or without a tickets! Can anyone help? They are SO discriminatory in Leeds I hate the damn place!
Fantastic thank you x
absolutely brilliant last night! You've still got it robbie! Understatement! You manage to raise 4.9 million for UNICEF and beat olly murs in sit ups!! good luck with the baby xxxx
I was there with my sister. Had an amazing night. He sang all the old songs. Road to Mandalay. Eternity. Life thru a lens.mkarmamKiller. Just fantastic. Very funny. Your fantastic Robbie. Thanks for doing all those songs..
Absloutely had the night of my life!! Rob was amazing. I feel so lucky and privileged to have seen him in this small venue again. I saw him there in 1997!! Having Rob back in my hometown was such a buzz, I will never ever forget it. xxxxx
Amazing night!! Can't believe how close I was to Robbie :-D and great to hear 'Life thru a lens' 'Karma Killer' 'Freedom' Fantastic night Robbie- you've still got it, and looking mighty hot ;-) Thank you soooo much, it was mega xx
Robbie at Leeds, my home town. Wow! What a fab night. He played hit after hit, including my favourite ROCK DJ and he definitely doesn't "Dad Dance". Love the new single, Candy and can't wait for the album. Robbie said he was nervous, but no need - Robbie, you've still got it. Good luck with the birth to you and Ayda. We have a 9 year old daughter and I know it will be the making of you. Glad to see you're happy and settled and still keeping fit (fab press ups) and looking great. Love, love, loved the whole night xxxxx
An absolute corker of a night, Thank you Robbie for a fantastic night
Rob, you were amazing!!!! You were so close and the venue was really intimate!! Loved all the songs and your Dad dancing!!! You've still got it matey!!! xx
Absolutely Amazing gig I was lucky enough to see Robbie at Knebworth (epic) and Leeds Roundhay, but think last night might have topped them both! Robbie seemed genuinely happy which definitely came across in his performance. Sounded and looked fantastic, thank you xxx
Amazing night, you haven't lost it Robbie, thank you for the chance to see you - hope to see more of you next year :-) xxxx
have a brillant time what a great night it was you were fab, your band and your dad dancing.. All the best for when you are dad dancing it's the best thing in the world being a parent enjoy and cherish each moment. Enjoy the rest of your intimate shows please do more
I was there watching from the balcony, thought you were fab-u-lou-sy!!!!! I've seen you several times live and you never disappoint- ur cheeky smile and sense of humour has me in stitches every time........... your a lucky lady Aysa! all the very best with baby Williams :D P.S throw the minstrels higher next time Mr W ;) lol x X x X x
A very special Thank You for dedicating She's the One to my wife Sarah and I, we are both feeling as if it may have all been a bit of a dream, we never imagined it could really be as good as it was. To be lucky enough to get to the centre of the barrier and have the biggest pop star in the world interacting with you really is as good as it gets. My wife has been a fan for a long time, long before when we were only just starting out on our journey togther and,for the love of her, I camped out in a very cold tent one September night in Roundhay Park to get into the gold circle for a 'Close Encounter'. On that occasion my reward was a cuddle with a lovely lady from Basement Jax. Since then Robbie has figured large in our relationship, we married in Cyprus with She's the One playing in the background and even our dog had to be called Rudy !! Tuesday night will live long in our memories and we wish Rob, his family, friends and supporters all the love in the world. I appologise if my antics during the queueing process caused any offence or exasperation to anyone, I hope I did a little to releive the boredom and made as many people smile as possible, if I did make anyone smile please pm me as I can be available for queue management or crowd motivational duties at reasonable rates and at short notice ! We met some great people in the 15 hour wait and hope we keep in touch through the social media in this high tech age. I hope nobody minds that I have put some very shaky phone video on Youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8jpiH46xak&feature=youtu.be ) and on my facebook page (not hard to find with a name like ours!). Thanks once more to all involved in making last night one of the best of our lives.........so far!!! Alan & Sarah from Scarborough (which is nice and we both have jobs!!)
Absolutely fantastic, loved every minute. I was just behind the little girl you gave your water bottle to, did feel like crushing her for a cheeky touch!!! Great North Run tomorrow and the calves are still really sore from swinging my pants, lol. Well it was worth it, always another GNR next year. Thank you, roll on another tour :-) x
Perfect concert! Alan thank you for making the waiting time nice and fun :) We had alot of hours outside together. Say hi to your wife from us. By the way does anyone have a video where you can see Robbie go down on one kne and singing to my girlfriend while holding her hand? It would mean alot to her to get it on video! We were in the front with Danish flags :) It think we where the only one with Danish flags. It just seemed like some people where filming the whole concert so i just wanted to ask ;) If you have something please email me: overg@mail.tele.dk Thank you! And Robbie thank you for another wonderful concert! We hope to see more of you next year :D Love Michael and Rikke from Denmark (no. 7 and 8 in the line)
10 days later I am still going through the highs of having been at Leeds, and the lows at knowing it's unlikely I'll ever get the priveledge of being as close to Mr Williams as I was that night. After 21 years of following I did shed a tear or two as I was in the presence of Mr Williams, and if it hadn't of been for my 6month pregnancy bump I would have been right at the front within touching distance! And I am so pleased my unborn baby seemed to dance along to some of my favourite songs with me. Amazing night. Thank you Robbie for providing me with 21 years of entertainment and a night I'll remember all my life. Congratulations to you and Ayda on the arrival of the beautiful Teddy. Parenthood is one of the best journeys we can make in life and I wish you all a lot of love, health and happiness. xxxxx
Awesome Awesome Awesome. An amazing night was had by all, I loved it..... Massive thanks to Ayda for holding on and not going into Labour. Congrats on the birth of your daughter, such a beautiful name xxxxxxxxx
She's The One Special Thanks! The first time I took my now hubby to see Robbie we had been together for a matter of weeks & I know the camping out all night was only for the love of me ......... 6 years later & he's as desperate for that centre barrier spot as the rest of us !! We were extremely lucky at Leeds to not only get that spot but also have She's the one dedicated to us. It was our song anyway which made it extra special & I still can't find the words to describe exactly how I felt when Rob held my hand & sang to me ....... apparantly after Rob took my minstrels I turned to Alan & said 'I love you, You know I love you, I love you more than Robbie ...... Just not right now !' I'm sure many of you will remember Alan from the queue, the head count every hour & the different stories he told the passers by about why we were there! Every Robbie queue should have an Alan !! Amazing memories that will stay with us forever. THANKYOU xxx .............. and Scarborough would be a lovely place to make a video Mr Williams, bring Teddy to the seaside xxx
Jacko Mix was Quality! Don't beat yourself up about Rudebox - i think it's a cracking album (good song too). You sing "No Regrets" so don't have any! You should be proud of your achievements. Was a great show, celebrated my 6th Wedding Anniversary by taking my wife to an intimate gig with robbie williams and he sang "Candy" to celebrate - ta mate, your a star!
Hi, I have brought three tickets for the O2 concert on Saturday 24th November, in the lower seating, for myself, my sister and my niece. My niece can now no longer make it. Would anyone be interested in purchasing the spare ticket? The cost was £137. Or alternativately, if anyone has two spare tickets for the Friday that they could swap, then my sister and niece could go with you and two other people could come with me? As the tickets are booked under my name I would need to go on the Saturday.
