Could it be Magic ?
Dervla | June 29, 2006And yes it was. I had never seen Take That live before and however un-cool it seemed to my friends, I was determined to see them this time. What a great decision that turned out to be. The show was amazing. We were treated to over two hours of well choreographed, energetic (even Gary!) dance routines, spot-on renditions of their hits and proof that life without Robbie is fairly sweet for Gary, Jason, Mark and Howard. The RDS arena in the sunshine is a perfect venue for a stage show like this and last night it rocked.
Highlights included a Latin remix of “It Only Takes a Minute� where the boys tangoed with a Latin dancer. There was also a superb Beatles medley ending with “Hey Jude�, where the boys sang from a walkway in front of the stage more or less amongst the crowd. “Relight my Fire� had an appearance from Beverly Knight and Lulu who looked and sounded amazing. The opening lines of “Could it be Magic� was sung by Robbie who appeared in a hologram of rain, quite spooky, but impressive. And, as the stage was covered in special effects rain, the crowd joined in singing every word of “Back for Good� which was a special highlight for me. As expected, the encore consisted of one song “Never Forget�, which ended with a spectacular fireworks display. This was the last show of the tour. I hope it won’t be the last tour.
In a word, shagtastic 
um Mark was not bad either? Loved the what it takes to make a boy band piece.
Mark was very cute indeed. Yeah I forgot about that bit. Its nice to see them taking the piss out of themselves – even Garys dancing !
“spot-on renditions”
Known in the industry as backing tracks!
Excuse me, there was no backing tracks. They had a live band with some very talented musicians, and their vocals were perfect. Which is more than I can say for your favourties, the Pussycat Dolls.
Never said the PCD’s could sing, they’re easy on the eye however!
