Today was many things. July 4th is our wedding anniversary, it was Pride London and of course our American Cousins are celebrating their Independance Day. But Emily had bought me a ticket to go with her and her friends to see Take That at Wembley. Seeing as Emily and I went to see the boys previously at Wembley Arena years ago and then in 2006 we went to the reunion tour. That too was due to have been at Wembley but the new stadium was so behind that it was moved to the only venue big enough to hold the same amount of people. Milton Keynes Bowl. You couldnt even begin to compare the two.
Wembley was packed to capacity with over 86,000 fans. Emily and the girls had arrived before the gates open and had us a reserved fabulous spot between the stage and the second stage they had around the middle of the standing area which on a sporting day would be the pitch.
A red Marquee stood on the stage and after the warm up act which was Lady Gaga, various compares and clowns were walking amongst us.
A circus show was litterally being created around us. The compere and some men dressed like weebles moved a train to the rear stage and hundred of heliums ballons were bought out en-mass as circus acts performed around. As the ballons rose and were released the boys appeared for their opening number.
The show was entwined with amazing circus acrobats, tightrope walkers, trapeze artists and all the fun of the fair. It was practically one of the most colour and spectacular shows I have ever seen. Non stop action with songs from as far back as Take That and Party, Promises and It only Takes a Minute Girl through to The Circus. The penaultimate song, Relight my fire had so many performers on stage you didnt know where to look and as the special effects erupted into flames you could feel the heat flare up and virtually singe your eyebrows. A deffinite ten out of ten from me. Cant believe how fantastic it was and possibly the best show I have ever seen at Wembley. Well done boys and a huge thank you to Miss Mews for sorting out tickets. Whatevery you were celebrating today enjoy.
