Don't know where the budget came from for them to genetically modify a bunch of different Robbie Williams monkeys for him to battle during this performance. Crazy time the early 00s must've been.
It kind of mirrors what happened before the Elton at Dodger Stadium concert. No one knew how insecure Robbie really was because if anything he appeared overconfident.
@@patriciaireland8786yeah from the outside looking in and from how he's performing you would think he's doing great and feeling on top of world but Inside while he was performing he was still suffering from self doubt even this deep into his career and he was going through even worse personal problems behind the scenes. It's just that old saying of someone who seems the happiest is actually suffering the most.
I'll never forget this concert I was there with my husband, he bought tickets for my 40th, there were over a 125,000 people attended that concert, it was blisteringly hot even at 7.30pm, no trouble just pure electricity. It was worth spending 4 hours trying to exit the field car parking at the end. I doubt Robbie will ever top this concert, it was pure magic.
Was there too! Incredible experience. Unfortunately I got heat stroke and on returning deep into the crowd had a panic attack- the first in my life! So we were way way back which was still electric as from our view point we could see 120000 fans loving it. Would have been great to be much closer but decided our buzz was big enough being there! We then walked to the nearby pub where we had booked a b&b room. We couldnt sleep though! We were absolutely buzzing from an incredible day ❤❤

@@mad-geelong-supporter4389no one is as big as Robbie was at his peak these days.

Harry and Taylor as well as most artists these days would not be able to command a stage or an audience of this size (150k) For comparison the O2 Academy in London is 50k and the SSE Hydro is Glasgow is 10k.
I’m 62, never really thought much of him until I saw him as the pre game act for the Australian Football League, Grand Final in 2022. He started by saying to the 100,000 there, “You better be good, because I’m going to be fantastic” he was, and I’ve been a fan ever since.
I can't imagine the feeling of flying over a crowd of 125,000 people in a helicopter all here to see you perform and then to land and come out onto stage infront of them all screaming for you, singing your songs with you. Fucking hell
Binge watching every Robbie live show after Better man , oh boy ,what an epic cinematic storytelling of visual experience ! I'm so mad the movie is underperforming , litterally one of the greatest things I've seen in a while ❤✨
Here after watching Better Man! The synchronised bouncing of 125K people is simply unbelievable. 05:14 Despite his struggles, his ability to find the inner strength needed to perform at this level is mind boggling
Seen this same show by Robbie in Dublin a few weeks after the Knebworth show and there was 165,000 at the concert in the Phienix Park, absolutely incredible show never forget it. Love him or hate him in 2003 Robbie was the greatest show on the planet.
The man, the myth - Robbie Williams. I quit alcohol and cocaine at the beginning of the year but this is one guy I'd relapse for. Stay strong brother 🤙🏻🤛🏻
Came back to this after seeing him at Sandringham last weekend. 20 years on and he’s still got it. There’s nobody out there even comes remotely close to Rob
This is one of the great concert people will remember for decades. RW was at his peak, the energy was sky high, everyone was on top of his game and f-ing amazing crowd.. I wasn’t there but every bit of that energy is on record. You could feel even through the “TV”.
Maybe. Or the Roger Waters The Wall show in Berlin in 1990 when the Scorpions opened with In The Flesh, arriving on stage in a stretch Limo with an eight motorcycle cavalcade
I am from Ontario Canada and in the 90s is from I first heard of Robbie Williams and I was hooked. He is a really good entertainer. And I saw his documentary on Netflix and I truly respect him.
When I was about 13 we had a some speaker guy come to our school and talk about self confidence and believing in yourself. His example was Robbie. Does he walk about all awkward and weird and hardly says a word. Nope he does this...I still remember that 20 years later...
As an American, I only got exposure to this guy in the early 2000 and late 1990s. I just can’t understand how he never made it over here, but I don’t think that bothers him anymore. I read people made trips to small venues in America because they couldn’t get into the large venues overseas.
This was one of my Desert Island Discs when in therapy a couple of years ago, and still makes me cry to watch him having come out the other side of such a dark place. Luv him
For me this is the best and most thrilling concert opening in the history of music. More emotion and celebration from first second has never been reached again!
I saw the indoor version of this concert. When it started I just stood there in silence smiling for like 15 min. Overwhelmed but so so happy! It was one of the highs of my life. The energy was through the roof. I watch it often. :)
375,000 fans "The best show in the world" is how Robbie Williams described his record-breaking shows at Knebworth Park. The record attendance of 375,000 fans over three nights in August 2003 at the Hertfordshire estate has never been broken in the UK.Jul 29, 2023
I can't believe he jumped into the crowd and started fighting them.
Don't know where the budget came from for them to genetically modify a bunch of different Robbie Williams monkeys for him to battle during this performance. Crazy time the early 00s must've been.

after all these years still gives me chills
Same ❤
Just watching again and it’s almost 20 years ago. Gives me butterflies to this day!
👏👏👏👏😍🫶❤️❤️💙
This musical sequence in Better Man had my jaw on the floor.
Love him and his energy. This was huge back in the day. Everyone loved him, not only in his country ❤
"For the next 2 hours, your ass is mine!"
Continues with one of the all time greatest concerts in history
Not even top 1000, so mid it’s painful to watch this concert.

I was in the crowd !!!! Saw the movie last night , seen a different side to Robbie 😢😢
Anyone saying 'he wasnt even that famous'.... Look at that crowd. We loved and still love him ❤ keep entertaining us Robert
Cant believe this was 20 years ago soon. My mum and i watched on... bbc red button? Then we went to see him in 2016 in Edinburgh. Amazing
I almost forgot how BIG Williams was in the end 90's-early 2000's... Thie gigantic crowd helped me remember.
THE BIGGEST SHOW OF RECENT TIME, GO ROBBY,
I miss this era, Robbie's concerts were legendary!
You really had to be there to understand how special this was
this concert hits now different after the movie
Still my favourite singer and my favourite RW song

The Worlds greatest entertainer ever. The greatest entrance of all time. A brilliant crowd. Robbie and “His band”. It doesn’t get any better folks.

As someone who is technically enthusiat in live productions, I love how crane dolly cameras captured the wildness of the audience.
that whole level of the show and production was SO GOOD back then, right? This stage looks so amazing, especially at night!
And the sound recording is perfection. Angels gave me chills.
I was promised a spiritual awakening...
Amazing opening! Robbie is one of the best ever on a stage. Pure energy and fun
As a stokie, we've always been proud of Robbie. One of our few achievements alongside Lemmy and Slash
