For One NIght Only!

Advantages: 100 Minutes of pure entertainment.
Disadvantages: Erm! Let Me Think!!! Nope, there are none.

...in the opening scenes of Robbie Williams - Live At The Albert. I watched this when it was originally aired on TV back in mid/late 2001. What a show? And the uncut DVD is even better. As I'm a total Robbie Freak!! I ran straight out in December 2001 and bought this so it cost me £11.99, However I dare bet you could pick it up for a couple of quid from the Internet now. The packaging is a very elegant looking card case with a little booklet fixed ...
...on the front cover. Robbie, who's accompanied by a 58 piece orchestra and some cameo appearances from, Guy Chambers, John Lovitz, Jane Horrocks, Johnathon Wilkes and Frank Sinatra, perform the following songs with the passion and enthusiasm they deserve. Track List: 1 Have You Met Miss Jones? 2 Mack The Knife 3 Straighten Up And Fly Right 4 Let's Face The Music And Dance 5 Well, Did You Evah? 6 The Lady Is A Tramp 7 Things 8 One ...

Let Robbie Entertain You In The Hot Summer Sun!

Advantages: Robbie!
Disadvantages: Support Acts Not On DVD!

...you see the crowd and Robbie arriving at Knebworth with a voice over saying beware of false prophets.... The first time we see Robbie on stage (Sort of) he is hanging upside down by his feet and lowered to tha stage whilst the beginning of "Let me Entertain you" plays, he arrives on stage looking great wearing all black with a white tie and then straight into singing LMEU, from the first minute you will see the crowd bouncing and basically they ...
...only Robbie can he gets the crowd fully involved all the way through, clapping, bouncing, singing, cheering, kissing, fondling, crying, swearing etc (I will not spoil the effect by telling you the entire show, as it adds far more to the enjoyment when you watch. The concert was filmed on the 1,2 & 3rd of August 2003, over those three nights, 375,000 people saw him and his support acts on stage, the weather was fantastic as you will see. Robbie ...

LIVE AID - DAY THAT ROCKED THE WORLD

Advantages: Great memories of a great day
Disadvantages: None

...date was yes it was Live Aid, I was 16 at the time sadly I didn't get to go there as it was down in London (Wembly Stadium), but I got to watch it all on the Television. It started in London at Midday, USA joined in at Midday their time which was around 5pm our time UK ended at 10pm then USA took us through to around 4am next day what a spectacular show it was. Now at that time Video Recorders were fairly new to the world and our house didn't have ...
...last year when they released Live Aid the DVD. Live Aid was the creation of Bob Geldof and Midge Ure and it came about after they had recorded the original Band Aid song "Do They Know It's Christmas" which was created after Bob and Midge saw a BBC news report about the famine in Africa. Do They Know It's Christmas to this day is still the biggest selling single of all time and featured bands such as Duran Duran, Bananarama, Wham and acts such as ...

COCKEYED OPTIMIST BY CROSSEYED PESSIMIST

Advantages: Haunting melodies, stunning scenery
Disadvantages: Poor dubbing,

...favourite films of all time South Pacific.......yes, I know, I'm a soppy romanticist! ! I first saw this film as a teenager and was hooked, in fact I was so hooked that life thereafter was a downer. I was convinced that one day I would sail off to the South Pacific and meet a handsome man who would sweep me off my feet in much the same way as Joe Cable did to Liat, swinging her from side to side and singing "younger than springtime"........no it's ...
...review of the film. South Pacific is set in the Second World War. It is supposed to be l943 at a time when a U.S.navy base is set up in the Solomon Islands ready for an invasion towards New Quinea. One of the heroes is Joe Cable (my screen idol for many years after) who has been sent to one such island on a special mission. The plot progresses and Joe Cable falls in love with a Polynesian girl Liat who is the daughter of Bloody Mary, a hideous ...

Review of South Pacific (DVD)

HUGE JAM IN YOUR LIVING ROOM

Advantages: Variety / Very talented line up
Disadvantages: None

The Later series with Jools Holland picks up from where the Old Grey Whistle Test left off combining live studio performances with band interviews - presented by musician, Jools Holland. The series includes 'Later.. Louder' (which is punk and heavier rock), 'Ten Years Later' (bands popular in the 90's), and 'Cool Britania' (British artists). The 'Later.. Giants' covers the performances by artists who are literally 'Giants' in the business and without ...
...influential and occasionally some of the artists are Icons. What I enjoy most about Jools Holland, is the fact that he, himself, is a great musician, so the programme becomes like a jam session when he plays along with his guests. I think it would be amazing to meet Jools and play on his show, as the atmosphere is terrific - much like a great pub where all your mates have turned up to watch you play. The bands set up in a circle and get to interact, ...
