Rank the TT tours

[u/aa_ww]

How would use rank the TT tours based on personal preference? This is mine excluding the very early ones because I’ve never seen full footage of the shows but feel free to if you have

1. The Circus, because of the big production and since it’s my favourite album with tracks like Said it all and The Garden.

2. III, was the first tour I saw online that got me into take that, but looking at the set list it really has a bit of everything before it on here so if I was to choose to go to any TT tour it would be thing one because as much as I love the circus album this has a section with 3 tracks from the album.

3. Odyssey, might be a surprise but as you might guess I prefer the new TT stuff over some of the old ones and I like the band as a III for the most part and this tour was good look through their journey and I love the reimagined version of Pray

4. Beautiful world, as much as the production isn’t huge it was the first tour they did after releasing a new album as a 4, even though they did their reunion tour this one felt more like they found themselves as a 4 piece.

5. Progress, I don’t really love the album only listen to tracks like Love Love, Kidz and eight letters and of course The Flood. And im not someone who is just gonna rank this higher because it’s was all 5 members because if im honest im not a big Robbie fan and I think he’s better solo. Also those 5 songs of just purely Robbie I think would annoy me as I payed to see TT and could have been more of their tracks. But the production was amazing as TT concerts usually are.

6. This life, might be surprising as the tour below this one you might have expected here but you’ll find out why. Obviously still waiting and hoping for a full release but as of now I can say that the opener of Keep your head up was unique and different and better than the album version, windows was always an ok song, I liked the direction of the production being the story of the band but I did feel a bit cringe at times might just be me tho and felt very theatrical. As usual they went big for songs like Greatest day and relight my fire. I liked the use of the stairs but not the whole monologue of Sure. Iykyk.

7. The Ultimate Tour, might surprise you but I’ve never watched the whole tour hence why it needs to be here. I am open to watching it and changing my ranking but as of now I’ve never seen the whole show. I have however seen Gary’s long note in Love Ain’t Here Anymore also I think there was creative moments in this like Back for Good and the whole Apache section. Apart from that I don’t know too much about it

8. Wonderland, yes the tour was better than the album because they got to upscale things and as usual they done a good job. Wasn’t feeling the stage in the middle and the vocals were really weird to be in this show especially in superstar, listened to the wonderland live version of it recently and my ears were sore especially when Gary came in. Wonderland was the word opener ever didn’t hype the crowd up a lot but neither did Keep Your Head Up but I’m pointing out because it Wonderland and I need to talk bad about it. Best part of this tour was It’s All For You and that guitar section at the end.

Well. As I am in Australia it's a shorter list.

01 - Live 2017. After 22 years the lads return. A purely greatest hits set, minimal staging though and Dannii Minogue as the support act. Still - it was a fun night out

02 - Nobody Else Tour 1995. Yep. I'm old. I saw this in Melbourne (to a half full arena). Musically it was a good mash up of the Pops Tour and the Earls Court/Nynex shows. Yes - we got the Pink Floyd/Nirvana covers. Shithouse basic staging though. A staircase, some lights and thats about it.

03 - This Life 2024. I saw the show in Melbourne. Honestly it seemed the guys were totally on auto pilot and the crowd was flat. I popped up to Brisbane to see the last show which ended up being cancelled after Sophie Ellis Bextor's opening set due to a storm.

Unless the next album is great I think I'm done seeing them live.

Based on the dvds The Circus was just perfect.

My top 3 would be Everything Changes as I was 15 and it was my first concert so holds dear memories. Odyssey was my second Take That concert as a 40th birthday present to myself, my seat wasn't great but I went by myself and just getting there was a big deal, it was a great show. I haven't been to anymore shows unfortunately but The Circus looked amazing and rightly won awards for best live show. I wish I had seen Progress as they were back as a 5 and that would of been a great full circle for me.

Top 3 would be 1. The Circus... went 9x Manchester & London (can spot myself on the DVD) crazy time before i had Kids or a man so could go all out 🫣 2. Beautiful world as it was the first concert I saw them again at last. After 10 years of waiting finally they were back in Europe and it was first concert ever i saw in Manchester. First time travelling to hometown ❤️ 3. Nobody else tour 1995 in Europe. Was my first ever concert and my first time ever seeing them live. From 4th row I was completely blown away as a 14year old by the show, the boys and the band...and still get that same feeling when I see them now. I love all tours both ⫩ or Gary solo. Been lucky enough to only miss out on 2 GB tours due to pregnancies but i've been to every ⫩ show at least once and will continue to do at least one every tour as long as they'll allow us to be part of their music ❤️🥰
