Thanks to everyone who posted a review in the forum of Take That's gig in Belfast on 12th October.
Here's one of our favourites, written by thatagal. Congratulations, a signed copy of the Beautiful World Tour Edition album will be in the post to you soon!

Some people might be getting a bit blase about seeing the Mighty Take That-sell out shows all over Europe and multiple dates in cities all over the UK and Ireland-us obsessed fans might try to get to as many as possible but nothing compares to the adrenaline shot you get when the lights go dark for the last time (compounded by the fact that the boys were late on stage, but sure, hey, we would have waited all night) and you KNOW that they're there behind the podiums, ready to give you two hours of the best entertainment money can buy.
Starting out with Reach Out shows straight away where the boys are at-no need to bring out the Number Ones just yet, we know all the words and want to show our excitement-I could have sworn I saw the glitter ball shake with the roars from the crowd! I could go on in minute detail but that'd be ruining the show for everyone! Instead I'll stick to tradition and pick my three favourite bits!
1) Jason singing Wooden Boat. Jason has come into his own on this tour. On the Ultimate tour you could still see he was nervous about their return but he was oozing that confidence that makes him so damn sexy! Especially on the B stage, he was the Jason we know and love-confident as hell and flirting like nobody's business! When he sang, he commanded the arena-no mean feat for the only member of the band with no solo to date and BOY did he look gorgeous
2) The fact that the boys really came together as a group-each showcasing their own talents-and I don't just mean in Give Good Feeling! It's no longer about Gary playing the piano and the boys humming harmonies in the background-they all have an equal part to play (though they still tease Gary about being The Mighty Barlow!) Howard laughing that he only gets to sing because he can sing the highest made everyone laugh-but that was proved wrong in the amazing Never Forget (how good can four men look in sweaty white t-shirts??!!)
3) Relight. Has always been my favourite song and the staging of this proved once and for all that the Fab Four are timeless-they've performed this song on every tour and it never seems to lose its shine-they've even changed the dance routine! The costumes were cool and the choice of "Crazy" really got the crowd involved! And yeah-they were ON FIRE '
Oh now I've thought of about 20 other "favourites"-Jason and Howard pole dancing, Gary giving a lap dance (how funny?!), the brilliant graphics for Beautiful World, Howard DJing (he's ALL man!), Mark stomping like someone had wound him up, the beautiful Everything Changes, the fact that years on they still look good doing the Pray routine?.. agh! I have to stop!!!
