We didn't know what to expect because it was the first night of their latest (and rumoured last) uk wide tour.
What we got was the most amazing spectacular show on earth, so good was it that we managed to get some cheap tickets for tonights concert.
I didn't take my DSLR because you're not allowed and also I didn't want to be worried about my camera all night so instead I simply snapped a few random pics with hubbys Nokia camera phone, at 3.1mp I really didn't expect much but actually as personal memory photographs we have some great ones.
Here we are waiting in the queue for the general admission tickets, an absurdly long queue which paid off because we got seats. Note I'm sporting the official Take That Bowler Hat which as official merchandise set me back by £12! yes if you want your TT goodies it's going to cost you, £15 for the official programme (gorgeous photography of the boys though) and I also got a canvas bag which cost £12, T-shirts are all £25 and if you're feeling flush a hoodie will set you back £50.
just in front of our seats here, great views due to the humongous screens at either side of the stage and we also had quite good views of the stage and the infamous B stage where they start the concert from, be warned though if you stand within 8 foot of the B stage you get soaked as the water jets shoot upwards for Back For Good.
One of the most amazing moments is when a lifesize Elephant arises from the B stage, I screamed like a girl at this point.
Paul borrowed some funky glasses from our concert mates who I've never met before and might never meet again but they really massively helped with the amazing atmosphere.
small mention about the support acts, James Morrison was awesome, Gary Go is, well I thought he dressed like a banker and was altogether bland but your mileage may vary!!
The boys performed a good range of classics as well as some from the 3 albums since their comeback. My fave song which I had always wanted to see live "Never Forget" absolutely lived up to my expectations and I also loved Greatest Day and Shine.
They ended the concert with "Rule The World" accompanied by sparkly stars and fireworks and when they left the stage I could have quite happily listened for another hour or so, LOL
wonderful value for money as a night you'll always remember and you know you might still get tickets for your venue, I got 2 tickets for just under £70 for tonights show, they're billed as restricted viewing but we had great seats and got all the pics last night, tonight we're merely going along to sing and dance and share in the atmosphere.
Take That, thank you for this delicious spectacular and I hope it's not the last tour as no one quite puts on a show like you guys.
Let me share some photographs and tell you all about it.
