OK then..... I guess I have kept you in suspense for long enough!
Managed to get out of work at about 4.20 when DH swapped with me, got home swallowed dinner ala Garfield! And got into our custom made Take That Tee Shirts! And Goodness me they are good!
We got to the NEC at about 6.45, as we wanted to take a stroll through and find our seats get a drink etc. We wandered in and there was a menu board of what the entertainment would be for the night, telling you who the support act was etc etc, and what the show timings were which was really useful as we knew that we could run out for a wee without thinking that we would miss anything!
Anyway, we found our seats, and I was so amazed at how near to the front we actually were! I was busy taking pictures of the front of the stage randomly just to see which angle was the best!
Anyway at 7.20 the support act came on - Sophie Ellis Bextor - she was quite good, I only knew 2 of her songs! I loved the way that she looked like she was dancing round her hand bag the whole time that she was performing!
She was on for about 45 minutes and then there was a break. Then finally it was time for the main event........
TAKE THAT!!!!!!
They came on stage in gorgeous suits (prob not quite the M&S ones that they are advertising though!) and started off with Reach Out they were amazing and I could see Gary's wrinkles and everything
To be honest I can't remember what the sequence of the show was, as I was too away with the moment, But needless to say it was fabulous. As usual they came out over a walkway to get to another stage in the middle of the Arena so that everyone could see them they performed a really slow version of Could it be Magic and the crowd sang Babe to Mark which was great, but Gary joked that they wouldn't let Mark sing it so it was a good job that we knew the words, I think they did everything changes up there too.
Then they came back THROUGH THE CROWD - this is Howard 2 seats away from us! My friend actually touched his belly!!! ha ha!
We did lots of dancing and screaming etc and by the time it was over I could hardly speak!
This is Mark in the disco part of the show!
I think the whole show was fab to be honest and I would love to go again, maybe next time huh!
