Close Encounters

9th Dec, 2006.
Robbie Williams Close Encounters Tour @ Sydney

He is. A singer. A songwriter. Above all, an entertainer.
I received the tickets many months ago. Anticipation and expectation was high.
Very high.
And he delivered.
There was tension in the air...cool air none the less... some people were getting quite touchy about their space... I just love cat fights... this time was a shouting match between two women who grew tired of each other's back... though no punches were thrown... I rocked 3-stripes (but not the Asics)... and the tour tee from last time Robbie played in Sydney... but nothing makes you feel your age then having two teens referring to your tee as "old school" and "vintage"... really. (my apologies goes to the one that stood behind me and her toes.)... occasional breeze meant I had constant supply of fresh air...I like oxygen..."Sneaky Sound System" kick started the crowd before Robbie rocked the Sydney stage... Connie Mitchell's vocal (think Jill Scott meets electro/ dance) was incredible riding high on dance beats... then purchases were made on iTunes when I got home... I often get my sunnies mix up with night vision goggles...he sang 'Back For Good'... My bad, its not cool to call them sunnies, apparently the word is 'stunners'... 'stunners'....'stunners'... 'Come Undone' and 'Feel' still my favorites... I missed you and the RW last tour we went to...Stage and effects looked awesome... all them pretty lights... I've got a bad habit of profiling people near me... he sang 'Back For Good'...unrelated note, apparently its difficult to make eye contact in conversations when one is wearing stunners with reflective lenses... all things in life is conditional... 'Monsoon' and 'Rock DJ' great for shouting...wish he did more swing numbers like 'Mr Bojangles'... he sang 'Back For Good'?...one of the best show I've seen... and I believe I'm not gonna see another one for a long time.

pics below... picture worth a 1000...so thats 6000. Go figure. (que "let me entertain you")...
