Take That's This Life tour was more intimate and laid back, but still featured plenty of spectacle
Take That come to Nottingham's City Ground this weekend with tens of thousands of fans expected at the stadium. The concert marks the first big gig at Nottingham Forest's home since REM played there in 2005. We take a look at how the set went down at Birmingham's Utilita Arena last week - but be warned there may be some spoilers in here. Birmingham Live's Dayna Farrington reviewed the concert.
When Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald graced the stage of Birmingham's Utilita Arena on Tuesday night , it felt like a homecoming. It had been five years since their last tour visited Brum, but as they kicked off with their opening numbers 'Keep Your Head Up' and 'Windows', it was as if no time had passed at all.
Yet, it retained the spectacle that is synonymous with a Take That show - complete with wind, fire, rain, snow, rotating stages and stairs. There were heartfelt tributes to former members Robbie Williams and Jason Orange. The focus then shifted to their latest album, as they performed 'March of the Hopeful' and 'the Champion', before settling down on a yellow sofa with their band and crew for a lovely rendition of 'This Life'.
