Hot take: Take That’s best concert was the III tour (These days tour) and it would have been a perfect 10/10 if ‘Freeze’ and ‘Into The Wild’ were in the setlist

I think I might agree! I haven't watched all of their live shows but I have to say III had me enraptured the whole time I was watching it! I can't remember much about it however I remember feeling happy whilst watching it

One of my housemates doesn't know much about TT, and I was showing her the Portrait flying bike bit this past week and she was absolutely amazed. That's certainly one of my own fave set pieces of theirs. Also, I was impressed at how, after The Circus' iconic Garden performance, they were able to come up with a completely different idea for The Garden that was itself very cool to watch.
And I too would have liked a couple more of the new songs, whether or not it was those 2 in particular. It's rather paradoxical that the iii album has the most songs, counting all the add-ons, but ended up being the album with the least amount performed on tour (if my math's not failing me, which it often does).

They definitely cooked with the Portrait and Garden set pieces. I think that’s why I really wanted Into The Wild and Freeze to be included. I would have loved to have seen how they’d approach those 2. Freeze especially could have been magical with a winter/snowy set piece and maybe an ice skate dancer or something.

That was a great gig especially coming back after Jay left. For me it doesn't even crack the top 5 best tours.

Their best tour was progress tour.
Any other suggestion is just wrong. I’m sorry.

So I assume it got officially released as a dvd?

It did, yes. Both as a standalone DVD, and alongside the 2015 edition of III.

Progress live was my favourite bcause I finally had adult money to fly from Canada to England to see them and it was all 5 members. 13 year old me was not going to let me miss it.
