Just an observation.... but ~ Why if most of you who have posted negative comments on this thread ~ did around 375,000 people decide to go see these concerts ?
Unclebuck gets it

Hmm, it was good but it wasn't his best...it didn't look as good as the last one on TV, was it Blain castle or summat? I get the impression he's going up his own **** a bit which is a shame
His comments on Radio1 the other day made me laugh, "I'm not going to America now, I can't be arsed", yeah, ok pal, whatever
His dancers though, that's a different story altogether

what a one trick pony he is
why does he keep winking into the camera in that sort of over familiar 'matey' fashion. He's a prize *** jockey IMO.

About 10 mins of it. Him strutting up and down like a poor man's Freddie Mercury. Then there was an advert break, so that was that. Load of crap.

Musical equivelent of a McDonalds. Slick packaging, mass manufactured, overprocessed garbage. I like my music made by someone driven by artistic gaols, passion or a desire to simply entertain, not money money money. I hope he cracks it in America, then he might **** off there and give us some peace. And he can take that Beddingfield **** with himm too.
Aah, that's better. Now for a nice cup of tea.

I went to see Robbie a few years ago at Hampden and I thought his show last night was virtually the same with a few exceptions for some new tunes and his entrance.
I think a stadium would have been a better atmosphere though.

Is it just me or did he do more old stuff than new stuff...surely if he was that good it would be mainly new stuff, right?

Erm, the negative comments came from people who didn't go, perhaps?
And would never waste money going to watch a self important gimp blurting out sh1te songs on any stage.

Well I went there with my other half on Friday night, and I have to say it was bloodly amazing. The atmosphere was electric and I will remember the night for many years.
I then watched the show on ch4 and have to say I found it disappointing.
As for his music I think you only need to really listen to his lyrics to see thats its not about money, its about all his life Experiences....good, bad and ugly.
It was also fantastic to see and hear Moby live, another great performer.

Have to say if you're going to have a go @ manufactured pap, there's a whole heap of music in the queue before RW.
To be honest i dont think anyone gets on stage in front of 100K+ people unless they're a little bit up their own ****. An ego is after all one of the pre-requisites.....

So how many of you never actually got there?
Heard on the news that the Police had been heavily criticised for seriously underestimating the amount of traffic and that hundreds of fans never even made it to the venue due to traffic mis-management, let alone get in....

We drove through Stevenage yesterday morning en route to Rockingham at about 7.15am and there was already a steady stream of people arriving for last night's concert

The roads around there only just cope with rush hour traffic so how in heck are they supposed to cope with a 100K extra people all ariving within a few hours of each other. As for trying to get out then i'm not surprised. Every inch of park in the town was taken up by cars.
I think it's a little harsh to blame the organisers when there's no way in heck that the infastructure was every going to cope. I'm not sure any place's in the UK would.
