Robbie Williams at his best!!! August 28, 2003
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
You can think of Robbie Williams what you want- he was and is one of the most entertaining people in the biz. His jokes with the audience (and at this particular concert there were only 300 people admitted) are absolutely hilarious! The "RW Show" was his first live performance after "Swing when you're winning" (another must-have) and in the documentary you can see how nervous he is.
He presents old hits (Strong, Rock DJ, Angels..) as well as many songs from his (at that point) unreleased album "Escapology". He flirts with the audience, laughs at himself (e.g. when his guitar solo does not go the way it should) and makes sure that the 1h 30min show does seem way too short. My favourites on the DVD are "Strong" (I like how he changes the words), "Hot Fudge" (nice dance action) and "Ain't that a kick in the head" (including a hearty "i remembered the words!"). Oh, he also plays the guitar during "nan's song" but i have to admit that you can tell he just learned it. When I saw him in Europe this summer, his playing was well advanced.
This DVD is an absolute must for Robbie Williams fans but I think it can be very entertaining for people who don't know him yet. The documentary about the day of the show is awesome, showing Robbie fooling around backstage and his traditional prayer to Elvis right before the show starts.
PS: If you play the lights game and win, you are rewarded with an a-capella/unplugged version of "sweet home alabama"!!

I'll admit it. I'm obsessed. I can't get enough of RW. He's the only music I play in my car or on my home stereo and I even bought a code-free, region-free DVD player so I could buy the Region 2 version of this particular DVD. I can't understand why America remains unimpressed with his talent. The Robbie Williams Show depicted on this DVD was a manufactured event but well worth the effort. The Robster sings some of his most memorable music including tracks from the recently-released "Escapology," a disc that has broken worldwide records everywhere but the United States. This guy can do it all and he's still under 30. All of Rob's CDs have hidden tracks; and all of his DVDs have games that when played correctly give you bonus footage. I hate these. The game on the Robbie Williams Show is impossible! I don't have the hand-eye coordination necessary to win. Apart from that, he can do no wrong in my book. Williams just completed a record-breaking tour in Europe in which he played to sell out crowds totalling 600,000 people. Since he is probably never going to tour the United States, this DVD is the only way I'll ever get to see him perform.
Finally more RW footage Stateside September 10, 2003

As stated in the reviews above, Rob's lack of success in the US is unbelievable!
Far and away the most talented "pop singer" around, he is the whole package...talented (he can actually sing beautifully with no need for over-produced back up!), handsome looks, personality to spare, and the honest charisma of a true entertainer.
This DVD proves, yet again, that Mr. Williams spoils his fans with a bravura performance and fun extra features.
Still anxiously awaiting the Region 1 release of the documentary 'Nobody Someday' which chronicled his 2001 European tour.
Come on, America, jump on board!!
A top show December 15, 2003

This is a classic performance by a first-class entertainer. For those of you who haven't seen a Robbie Williams live show, or for those who may not be very familiar with his music, this DVD will probably convert you. This is very much a staged performance, set at Pinewood Studios in front of a select few (300, as opposed to the 50,000 plus of his stadium shows) people, for the filming of a TV show and this DVD. Don't let this put you off, though. It does not feel manufactured at all; it is very intimate and thoroughly enjoyable. The set list is a great combination of 'Escapology' tracks, some 'Swing' standards as well as older RW hits. At the time of filming the show the 'Escapology' album had not yet been released, so these could well be the first live performances of the songs off that album, and yet they sound every bit as good as on the tour later on. The band absolutely rock, and the dancers really complement the show. 'Hot Fudge' is, well, HOT. The track selection really shows off Robbie's versatility. He really can sing. He does the Swing songs very well, and it's obvious how much he enjoys singing them. My own favourite, however, is one of the extra tracks: 'Revolution', sung here with backing singer Katie Kissoon. Robbie Williams has serious presence; he's got more charisma than just about any other of today's artists. Just watch him interact with the audience: he flirts and pokes good-natured fun at them. His sense of humour is sharp and witty, his timing spot-on. And for those of you who can recognise and appreciate good looks as an added bonus, you will not be disappointed. Robbie has never looked this good.
Amazing, a must have... August 26, 2003

If you want good entertainment this it it for ALL music fans. Robbie Williams, the biggest star across the universe (sans the US) puts on another amazing performance. He cover some of the old stuff and a lot of the new From Escapology (another must have). The dvd is loaded with extras too! If you like good music you will really like robbie williams. Give him a try, you can thank me later!
