This past Thursday I finally checked out the new Sydney Football Stadium. The occasion, Robert Peter Williams XXV tour.
Robbie shot to fame as a member of the pop group Take That from 1990 to 1995, then launching a solo career in 1996.
His debut studio album, Life thru a Lens, was released in 1997, and included his signature song Angels. Which was his offical last (full) song of his encore. Later there was a medley of accapella hits as he exited the stage.
His discography includes seven UK No. 1 singles, and all but one of his 14 studio albums have reached No. 1 in the UK. Six of his albums are among the top 100 biggest-selling albums in the UK, with two of them in the top 60, and he gained a Guinness World Record in 2006 for selling 1.6 million tickets in a single day during his Close Encounters Tour.
Robbie also played hits like Rock DJ, Kids, Let Me Entertain You and Feel.
The concert was a wild range of emotions, from Robbie's highs to his honest lows. It was a full on performance which started with rain and then on my way home, ended up with the heavens opening!
This was UK pop/showman ship at its finest. Sam Smith when trying to command the entire arena recently may need a few lessons from Robbie. Getting older boomers moving, younger fans alike all in admiration of his tales of his lows, to singing along with the highs of his career.
This will be a concert I won't forget in a while. A man even proposed to the mother of his child. Wild! And that is just the start of it.
Its EP feature week next week. So gear up from EP's from wide ranging genres. See you then x
