Take That

[bowtiesarecool]

I may have become slightly obsessed with Mark's Land of Dreams album and This Life. Much to the husbands upset as I have the vinyls on a lot!

Not sure how I missed Mark's album release initially, but it is such a cracking album - Rio has been stuck in my head for days!

 

[bowtiesarecool]

Not gonna lie, wasn't a fan of the This Life album initially, but the tour has completely changed this. It is soooo good live but now I've got the whole album on repeat (much to the husbands dismay!). May have also ordered the Mark album Land of Dreams on vinyl which is such a bloody good listen

How is Kavana now? I'll definitely give that book a go.

Sober 4 years. He's done some interesting interviews on YouTube about relapse/recovery. He's doing a mini tour in Asia this year, he seems in a better place

I Can Make It is still one of my favourite Take That songs, although I did prefer it when Mark sang it on tour, it feels like a Mark song to me!

Don't get me started on Blobby, I still have a deep hatred for that creature stemming back from my 11 year old self being so mad that he stopped TT from getting Christmas No.1

I can make it is just beautiful, but I also adore Another Crack In My Heart too from Everything Changes didn't Mark sing I Can Make It on the Everything Changes tour?

Mr fucking Blobby boils my blood even now. The fact it was Babe and Mark that it kept off No. 1 devastated me!

I think there is some BBC programming on 25th November about them. Need to check the schedule when it is released

Controversial opinion: the female vocal in RMF sung by Beverley Knight (think it was the Beautiful World tour) was far better than Lulu.

Went to Milton Keynes Bowl when Beverly Knight supported. She was amazing

I'm hoping it's as big a spectacular as it usually is after paying over £100 for a ticket! Looking forward to seeing Olly Murs too. Going with my mum and she's wanted to see him for ages.
Sat quite close to the main stage (closest seats I've ever had) so I selfishly, hope they don't spend too much time on the B stage

You not regret Olly he is soo good live. I mainly brought tickets cause of Olly haha

I noticed that Mark has not been wearing his wedding ring, wonder if he and his wife are still together

She posted a happy birthday story to him on Instagram, as did his kids, and she's posted a few times about the documentary and tour so I presume they are. They had a rough time last year as had to evacuate during the LA fires (as well as all their pets/horses) but I don't think the house suffered in the end.

 

[Sammiejayne444]

Does anyone else remember them fibbing about their ages? My friend and I 100% remember it coming out in the papers that Mark had claimed to be born in 74 like Robbie but was actually two years older. We have tried looking it up but can't find anything online. I'm pretty sure Howard knocked a year or two off as well coming to think of it as my aunt fancied him rotten and joked she didn't feel too bad about it even though she was only a few years older.

I can remember as always thought they were younger than me but turns out we are all virtually the same age except Howard who is older.

Someone was streaming the concert on FB. I wasnt going to watch but I cavedwe dont go till July but I can't wait!

 

[PollyPerks]

I love Mark's voice Gary is technically brilliant but Mark has a unique quality to his voice that is just beautiful.

I went to the London show on Friday and it was phenomenal! The intense heat made everything even more magical and dream-like. The boys were in top spirits too. It was just perfect.

I wonder if they are going to take a break from touring after this? I've seen that Howard has signed a music publishing deal so perhaps he's finally going to release a solo album. I'd love another solo album and tour from Mark too, "Land of Dreams" was incredible.

 

[StrawberryTart]

Aww I didn’t know there was a TT thread here, I also loved I Can Make It back in the day, even learned it on piano

Went to see the Circus at Hampden a couple of weeks ago, as fantastic as when I saw it in 2009

 

[lucyloo11]

I have seen so many bands in my time and I’ve seen Take That a few times now and that was by far the worst gig I’ve been too for people throwing up/being too drunk etc. I’m all for everyone having a good time I’m not a party pooper but so many people were being removed by stewards or dragged out to sit down it just seems pointless. Maybe I’m showing my age but why spend £80 plus on a ticket to not see all the show or remember it.

Yeh what a waste! I’m all for drinking too much but there’s a time and a place. Take That shows usually have a family vibe but last night felt like Nottingham’s ‘finest’ let out of the house and introduced to alcohol for the first time. Such a shame!

One thing I am disappointed about is its only a digital ticket

We were talking about that yesterday and how we liked to keep our tickets but obviously can’t do that with a digital one!

 

[QuirkyFlamingo]

He's carrying on just put a insta up

I bet she’s thrilled.

 

[BugglyWuggly]

Does anyone know what Jason is up to these days? Obviously living a very private life which is what he wanted. Hope he's in a good place.

 

[BugglyWuggly]

My late younger sister used to love Gaz before his "glow up". At the age of nine, she I formed me that she loved him because he had a "kind face".

She was a sensible lass.

Meanwhile, Robbie and Mark were my thing.

Dunno how I never noticed how fit Jason was! He's truly beautiful, facially.

First time around the majority of girls fancied the boys, Mark and Robbie. Second time around as women we realised how hot Jason is! I remember watching the reunion show with my jaw on the floor

Anyone??? Tempted but I'd be in bed by 11pm every night. I'm their demographic as well late 40s so I'm wondering if anyone else would be up for 4 nights of non stop partying

 

[Boomwhatwasthis]

I was a huge TT fan as a teen, but even then I knew some of Gaz's lyrics were total rubbish.

"Put your head against my life", indeed. What a pile of shite lad.

I Can Make It from the Take That And Party album, I will ask have a soft spot for though.

I also recall threatening to storm Parliament as a 15 year old When Mr Bloody Blobby best TT to number one.
