Take That - Progress Live

[Cheeky Monkey]

The Complete Pisstaker aside, I appreciate there aren't too many Take Prat fans on here, but did anyone see their Manchester show on BBC1 last night? An OMG doesn't even begin to sum it up. It's no wonder the ticket prices were extortionate - how much must that robotic figure have cost? Imagine taking that down and putting it up night after night - what a job for the roadies. No matter what your thoughts on the band - very slick and impressive show logistically, if not musically.

Those fans who were seated in the upper tiers 'behind' the stage would have seen absolutely nothing.

Take that are very good, you can't argue with that

Gus loves em. Nobody's perfect.

I took my other half to see them at Villa Park in the summer. Put simply, they are fantastic live and put on a phenomenal stage show.

Took my misses to see them at wembley...not the biggest fan of their music but have to say that as a show, it was up there with muse and oasis as one of the best I have ever seen....most impressed

Any man who goes to watch TT is either GAY or on a promise of a NOSH.

FACT.

There were MAJOR elements of Spinal Tap in the stage show, I would love to think it was an ironic masterplan by Gary Barlow, but suspect it was just to disguise the vapid, empty, cynical and shallow nature of his personality and music instead.

Their live show does seem to involve a lot of walking about.

Parts of it reminded me of being off my tits on Ketamine.

Yeah load of middle aged men in glittery waist coats singing to loads of women of a certain age, looked like a cross between the Osmands and a Danny La Rua benefit.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Take That? Take what exactly? The piss?!



Jeeeeeeeeeeez.

The only advantage of your bird going to a TT concert is that she will be dripping like a broken fridge by the time she gets home, so none of that foreplay nonsense required to remove chafing issues.

This. Plus the women who watch them should grow up,move on and act their ages
Just imagine what they would say the other way around . You know that

 

[Meade's Ball]

I'd only go and see them if i heard Barlow, the lispy Owen and Williams had fallen terribly ill. As an ode to their sickly partners and all they've blandly brought to the music industry, Donald and Orange decide to "sing" on. From the crowd step John Hendy and Terry Coldwell, the two goons from East 17, and last but not least Fab Morvan, the living one from Milli Vanilli. It could be one of the most horrendously and openly out-of-time "musical" nights in the history of time and please just me in the throng of 20 thousand or more.

We saw the Manchester concert that was filmed. Those who sat behind the stage were only there to give more crowd because it was being filmed, as those seats were normally empty. They all got in for a fiver, could see it all on a couple of screens behind the stage and could see them live when the went to the central stage.
The TV showed alot of detail that you couldn't see live as there was really too much going on all the time to take it all in. The TV missed out a lot of the concert -starting with the introduction and countdown that was so simple, but effective. It really was an amazing concert and production, and any doubters who went couldn't have failed to be converted.
Dare I say, that I rate this as my best experience of the year (and several before THIS) along with the 10 minutes before kick off at the Donny game.

You clearly missed The Sisters of Mercy 30th anniversary tour then!

I hope Guppy, your MINDER, sorted him out with one of the CS gas cannisters he goes on about.
