Take That

It's Saturday and not a lot going on. Done with the food shopping for the week  while hubby is busy sorting out one of the rooms in the house, I kept myself entertained by watching Take That's last years's concert at Wembley in London on TV. As far as I could remember the group didn't play any instrument when they debuted in the 90's but certainly their come back showed the strength of such musical maturity. In this tour Gary Barlow took hold of the piano, Mark Owen on bass, Howard Donald on drums while Jason Orange played the guitar.
What is so striking about the show apart from the group's pop craftmanship was the grandeur circus theme.  I like the appearances of clowns, balloons, the metal elephant which walked them to the main circus stage. The show came to frenzy as the song Shine was sung and trapeze artists, jugglers, ringmasters graced the stage.





I was truly pleased to see the band together again. It's great to know that the group I earnestly followed in my teens have come back this big. This time they are more mature yet light hearted, funny with heart warming songs.

Below are some of the clips from the show and my favorites. Enjoy.

Dear Hyds,

I just wanted to comment on the music you're playing on your blog today, from Yann Tiersen (and the Amélie soundtrack). Always happy to hear his compositions, thanks!!

Thanks for the interesting trivia on the composer Gosijo. I've been thinking of watching that film but didn't know the song was a soundtrack.
