My story starts from getting my ticket

Here goes, my review for Tuesday the 11th Dec 2007, my excitement started the day I queued up for 9 hours to buy my ticket at the M.E.N arena my feet were killing me, I was tired, hungry and very cold but I didn't care, then I heard the tickets were sold out so my excitement instantly became panic. I was gutted but then I noticed people still going to the windows and coming away happy so I pulled myself together, an hour later I was where I wanted to be, at the window. I decided I would treat myself and go twice and got tickets in the same block just 5 rows apart for the 11th & 13th. I went home and drove everyone mad for months. Then around September I starting going through a really tough time with my 6yr old son being diagnosed with ADHD, then having a Dr tell me that I was suffering from depression & agoraphobia, things were so bad I forgot all about the concerts until the 1st of December when my hubby casually whispered in my ear ''only 10 days to go''. At first I didn't get what he was on about but the penny dropped and I became hysterical and stayed that way for the next week or so.

A few days before I was so worried about ''how I could go out without my hubby, how could I go on a train full of strangers, how could I face being in an arena with people I don't know?'' The night before I couldn't sleep for worry but I kept telling myself ''I won't let my illness stop me anymore'' and although I was nervous I made it to Manchester. I got my t-shirt then went to find my seat, when I was told where it was all I could think was OMG I'm so close! Tim Daniel was the first support act and he was fabulous then it was Sophie and I didn't care for her too much but after watching her I found she actually was quite good, after she went off I started shaking and I was worried that I was going to have a panic attack but after a few mins I realised that it wasn't because of my agoraphobia, it was because I knew it wouldn't be long till I saw Mark, Jason, Howard & Gary.

It went dark and everyone started screaming, me included, I got so hot I thought I would faint. Then the music started and I could see the podiums and with me being on the lower tier at the side I could see a perfectly round bum poking out from behind the podium and I was screaming and pointing it out to anyone who would take any notice and then up they popped and I cried, screamed and then laughed. I was in heaven as they sang Reach Out, then came It Only Takes A Minute and OMG the pole-dancing was ace, then Beautiful World, what can I say, it was truly beautiful and to top it off I had Jason then Gary then Mark come over to the side stage right next to me and I was in heaven.

After that the order of songs is still a blur but Rule The World was fantastic, it gave me goosebumps. The laser effects were amazing and during the song the ring that the girls were on got stuck on its way down and they had to wait for it to slowly descend while they were still tilted lol poor things. They had the crowd singing some of the old material and when we all sang acoustic it was beautiful.

The show was so much more than I expected, after last year I didn't think it could be any better but they certainly proved me wrong and many others I'm sure. The dance version of Give Good Feeling was brilliant especially as Gary and Jason came back over to the side stage and I got a glimpse of Gary's RED THONG! I thought I was seeing things so I took more pics and sure enough when I got home and double checked there it was, a red thong. When they played Never Forget I was in floods of tears, that song always has me in floods as I was listening to it as the horrible news came on the day they decided to go there separate ways but it was fantastic. The fan shaped screen that was pulled over by a wonderfully talented male (sorry forgot his name) was a great idea and they used the treadmill style walk-way that they used on their tour back in '95 it was breath taking. Oh I forgot to mention Wooden Boat, Jason has a lovely voice and this is a beautiful song and a chance for Jason to shine in something other than his dancing, he should be so proud of himself. The show finished with Shine which was absolutely brilliant then an old classic Pray, they showed that as well as learning heaps of new moves they still knew how to kick out the old ones as they did back in the 90's.

My story doesn't end there, that night Take That gave something back to me that I had lost through my depression and agoraphobia and that was my freedom. For months I had been battling against this mentally challenging illness but that night made me face my fears head on and for me it was a very hard thing to do. Before I was scared to go into a room of 10 people that I didn't know, that night I stood with thousands, it was the best night ever and one that has changed my life and turned it back around and for that I am very grateful to Mark, Jason, Howard & Gary, if they hadn't got back together there would have been no concert and if there had been no concert I think I would have lost the battle.
