Knebworth 2003

Never forget !

Well here it was the day I go to see Robbie at Knebworth !

I woke up bright and early ,the sun was shining the birds were singing oh what a day I was in for !

I rang my other 3 friends made sure everthing was going to plan and it was . We met up at the coach station all excited and giddy , 2 of my friends hadn?t been to see Robbie before so they were really really excited (like I was at old Trafford) the coach pulled up we were first on so I got the back seats so we could have a good old sing along !!

The coach driver was really cool he stood at the front of the coach and said - now here?s the rules !
1. Sing as loud as you can !
2. If you need anything just ask .

So he started the coach up and we all started singing angels ! and were off !!!

There was a few stops on the way , then we hit loads of traffic and I mean loads of traffic I couldn?t believe it my first thought was oh no we are going to miss the concert !!The traffic was going for miles we were really panicking the coach driver kept trying to assure us we would be there on time !! I could hear kelly Osbourne singing we really thought we would miss it !!!!!

Then we started moving very slowly , and 1 hour later we was there yes Knebworth at last !

We got off the coach and i couldn?t believe the amount of people and how big the place was , we went to get drinks and made our way to the field !

Everyone was really excited and buzzing because they were there !We were roughly in the middle but we had loads of room there was some people at the side of us who were also from Leeds like us the feeling was great all these Robbie fans in one place !

We were drinking our beer pretty fast because we were really warm , we rustled through the crowd to get some more and had to queue for ages ! Then I saw the stands with all the Robbie shirts and stuff on I was like a little kid in a sweet shop , I wanted to buy everything , got my t. shirt light blue one with RW on it , I put it on there and then ! We got our programmes and went back to where we were sat ! I was getting a bit tipsy with all the beer so all I wanted was for Robbie to come on the stage !

The crowd was getting bigger and bigger the sun was blazing it was a great moment sitting there waiting for the robster !!!!!

Then the foghorns started I was screaming jumping up and down I still could not believe I was there !Then all of a sudden Robbie appears in the air - upside down !I started getting really hyper the crowd was going nuts !

Then he was there on the stage - ? Good evening my name is Robbie Williams and for the next two hours you?re ass is my? n . (what an intro ) Hell has gone and heavens here ??.there?s nothing left for you to fear .

There certainly wasn?t anything to fear Robbie looked amazing he sounded brilliant he was running up and down the stage giving it his all . The people near us couldn?t actually believe how mad we were going I never ever thought it would be as good as this !

The crowd was so alive ALCOHOL - YES DRUGS - BOOOO?.we will rock you was the best moment of my life every single person all 125,000 of them was clapping along I will never ever forget how that felt It was amazing !!!!

Robbie was chatting and having a laugh with the crowd "EVERYONE IS HAVING A GOOD TIME RIGHT?" The crowd shouted yyyyeeehhhhhhhh !

Monsoon was rocking out now and so was I! It started getting a bit darker and you could really feel the happiness , Robbie was totally in control of the crowd having the odd joke here and there , saying how happy he was to be performing for us ! Me and my monkey was on now loving it Robbie never fails to entertain us does he !

Come undone my all time favourite was on oh I was in heaven - then he gets a girl up on the stage my heart was pounding I so wanted to be up there just like the nearly every person in the crowd ! That song really touched me that day it?s really over whelming how the songs make you feel !

My friend who isn't a obsessed fan like me kept asking when Hot fudge would come on, as this was her favourite song she liked the yyeeehhhhaaa bit she seemed to be going on about it all day ! Hot fudge came on and she was so excited it was a great feeling seeing a not so obsessed Robbie fan becoming one ! she was ecstatic yyyeeehhhaaa she screamed !

It was really dark now you could see all the flickering light and the big screens every one was really happy !

Robbie was wooing the crowd again little rap going down ! I loved it ! Mr .Bojangles that whistle god I had shivers going up my spine , you could actually feel how much Robbie loved this song! I didn?t want the night to end a few more numbers on and I was still really hyper we were on feel now you could tell that Robbie also loved this one , lighters were out the mobiles were out ----in the home that I live in ? cos I got too much love? oh it was great !


Not forgetting kids this really got the crowd going I was running out of breath!
Then he told us to get our lighters and mobiles and our prayer mats out! I was nearly in tears I knew it was all coming to an end this was it Angels !We all sing along to it knowing that this show will be over very soon !I really did have tears in my eyes of course they were tears of joy !

Well that was it Robbie was gone helicopter back in the sky ! Ready for the next one!

On the way out you could feel the excitement in the air everyone had a really good time , we bought more t,shirts and beer and made our way to the coach! We all started singing as the helicopter flew away (not knowing whether or no the robster would be touring again) it was sad that it was over but happy at the same time as he gave us such a good show, a memory that we will never forget !

We got back to the coach , the traffic and amount of people was unbelievable I thought we would never get out , but we waited happilly on the coach singing and chatting about what a amazing night we had .
We finally set off back to the hotel and waved goodbye to Knebworth! That was it , it was over , it was something I will never ever forget and something I don?t think I will ever experience again !

Hearing about the feeling for being there might be even better then seeing the DVD.... I can get goosebumps just thinking about 125.000 people singing angels instead of Rob himself! That is just the best concert feeling in the world!! The artist can be as good as anything, but if the crowd isnīt working, then itīs doomed...But thede 125.000 people totally rocked!

Hiya all..

Well where to begin??? as the header says i went to kneb and what a day it was too.

To start we had to travel from Liverpool so we left on the saturday and stayed with family in Northants which is about 45mins away from Kneb and we left there at 8am on the Sunday mornin cos everyone said the traffic was really bad. Well we got to Kneb at 9.30am and thats when the day began.

The gates didnt open til 12pm and the atmosphere was fantastic so when the gates opened the crowds were in abundance. Myself and my husband just walked in the ground and still ended up in the inner circle ( i got wrist bands with I GOT CLOSER TO ROBBIE WILLIAMS ) and it was ace.

dont want to drone on about it but i must say there wasnt a moment that day were i said omg this day is too long and i want to go home. I felt sorry for Kelly Osborne cos she got boood off stage but apart from that it was really exellent especially when the main man himself came onstage and woohd the crowd like he does. Then there was Mark Owen that was a feast in itself. But all in all if i had to do that day again I wouldnt say no because i must say it was probably one of the best days of my life.

And through that concert i found the RW official site where i made some wonderful friends and keep in touch with now and even went to Leeds this year with one of them so ive got Robbie to thank for that.

Love you Rob thanks

i was there on the 3rd as well it was brilliant, one of the best days of my life. we got just outside the inner circle( u lucky thing), we arrived by coach so we didnt get there till 12.30, my god wot a scorcher it was too, my friend nearly passed out 10 mins before Rob came on!!! we got interviewd by radio one ,saw Ant and Dec and a couple of lads from eastenders.I didnt want the day day to end and on the coach park waiting to leave radio 1 played angels so we were singing again but this time with us as backing singers !!(the whole of knebworth that is) FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rr: :yahoo: :pulp: :clap: :lr:
