This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Say what you will about Robbie Williams’ music — and I have — but you have to give him credit for knowing how to put on a show. And this set lensed at England’s Knebworth Festival in August is his biggest gig ever in more ways than one.
A sprawling multi-tiered stage, gigantic moving video screens, a super-sized band, a troupe of scantily clad dancers and even his own overinflated ego are just some of the weapons Williams deploys as he mugs, preens, struts, skips and literally begs for the love of an obliging mob of 375,000. If you listen with the sound off to avoid his pointless pop anthems and cheeky stage patter — and skip over the bits where he trots out his mummy and starts to cry — it’s not half bad.
