DVD Review – Robbie Williams – What We Did Last Summer
OVer three days 375,000 screaming fans watched Robbie Wiliams strut, dance, sing, prance, and generally own Knebworth. A fantastic concert from a singer who is very charasmatic and yet at times, appears to be unable to take himself serious. Mixing well known songs with some of his newer material, Robbie keeps the songs coming between taking to the audience, and his ability to connect with a crowd of well over 100,00 people is pretty impresive. The two standout moments for me were the total opposite in nature. The first was his rendition of Mr. Bojangles. The fact that he would even attempt to sing such a classic song to an audience of fans who may not have even heard his recorded version, let along the original was a challenge but it appeared that the song was as well recieved as any of his other songs with perhaps the expection of the final encore song. Angels is a song that pretty much saved Robbies singing career, written when he was down blah blah blah, its a beautiful song, and to hear over 100,000 voices singing it was very moving. I would have bought the ticket, stood for several hours and not complained, just to be in the audience when he sang Angels. Truely amazing. Robbie Williams is prehaps one of the biggest names in the UK music scene these days and based on his performance in the concert, it is where he deserves to be, on top.
