Summary: Yet another one for the collection..
Review: A showcase for RW and his not-yet-released (at the time) Escapology album, this DVD is a great addition for RW fans. Lots of cool behind-the-scenes stuff (RW DVD's always include a ton of extras) and overall just a very entertaining show to watch. Not quite as much energy as he has for his bigger stadium gigs, but well worth the price. With the release of this DVD in teh US, you can now get all of RW's DVD's in the US (Angels, Where Egos Dare and Live at the Royal Albert Hall) which is good for his more demanding US fans.

Summary: Finally more RW footage Stateside
Review: 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!!

Summary: The Real ROCK DJ!
Review: I bought this DVD yesterday, I went home to watch it... and I saw it twice! I had already seen his show at Knebworth, whit 600 thousand people screaming and singing and now, he's with an attendance of nearly 300 people, something more private, but never less impressive. Maybe the thing I like the most of this guy, is the way he's all the time smiling, making jokes, showing his teeth... that's something very important in a popular person: Seem to be pleasant all the time.
This show starts with a genial ROCK DJ, Robbie's transmiting all his energy to the stage, dancing, singing and playing with those lucky people. Following that comes STRONG and SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL, at that time, a new song for everyone and he notices that a girl is trying to sing the song without knowing the lyrics...
FEEL is strangely played twice (the first one as a rare part of the concert, due to Robbie's shirt -at first white but suddenly turned to black!- and the last one in the Special Features). Many other new songs: MONSOON, COME UNDONE and HOT FUDGE! (a real HOT Fudge!). He also includes some of his swing performances (remember Live at The Albert). This shows finishes with ANGLES (a classic to close his shows). Masterly played and sang by this idol of our ages. Do you need more to convince that we're in front of a genius?
The only think I felt dissapointed with, was the absence of MILLENNIUM, SHE'S THE ONE, KIDS, BETTER MAN and SUPREME. But... I got satisfied with this purchase... any doubts???: NO

Summary: RW - Top Notch Geezer
Review: I moved to the States last year from England and couldn't believe no-one had heard of Robbie Williams. I bought 2 of his CD's over with me and introduced my American wife to his excellent music, she plays them all the time now! This DVD is brilliant to the extreme, he is a real showman. The interaction with the audience makes you laugh out loud. The songs on this DVD are exceptional, with a few numbers from his latest album - Escapology, and a few old favourites from past albums too. The extras are great also. I just wish he were more popular here, because his concerts are always a sell-out in England with phenomenal reviews, and I have never been able to get tickets. If you've never heard of Robbie Williams, BUY THIS DVD, and get his latest album ESCAPOLOGY. You will NOT be disappointed. If you HAVE heard of him, you should already have this DVD and everything else he has done!!

Summary: Back with a Vengeance
Review: I must say it is about time, that RW returned. Being here in America, people don't understand that his talent rivals that of just about any American based singer. He allows the people in the audience to become a part of his life, and more importantly his music. The saddest part is that mainstream America and the "gods" of the music industry, don't realize what they are missing out on. So take it from a RW fan, This is a great show and more importantly, for real music, not like Justin Timberlake, or that other phony stuff, it is a must have. The graphics are great with the DVD options and the sounds make you feel like you are right there, apart of the show. Hopefully, RW will make an appearance in America, and then we can truly appericate him and his talents.

Summary: The greatest entertainer of our age
Review: 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.

Summary: Who is Robbie Williams?
Review: If all you remember is the Rock DJ video and a funny guy on Cribs, this is the DVD for you! I discovered Robbie last summer and am shocked at the fact that no effort has been made by his record company to promote him in the US. He's a genius and far surpasses the slop on most US radio. This DVD has a lot of his hits and shows him behind the scenes. It's a good intro to his music as well as his sense of humor. If you want more of a taste, go to his official website for all his videos. You'll want to buy all his CD's. He sells out mega stadiums all over the world, is considered a top entertainer and everything he touches turns to gold. Buy this DVD and find out why!

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!

Summary: Excellent TV concert - but ....
Review: One glimpse of this DVD and you will notice that it is not a 'real' concert such as a stadium performance. This DVD is a copy of a television performance that Williams did in 2002 to promote his then new album ESCAPOLOGY. The concert therefore feels very rehearsed and scripted. Nevertheless, it is just as enjoyable as watching a proper concert because WIlliams is so engaging. However, I am yet to work out if he is lip synching. I realise the songs performed aren't the recorded versions, but I have a sneeking suspicion that he recorded them before this TV concert then lip-synched. What do other reviewers feel?
Aside from this shortfalls, this DVD is a must-own for any Williams fan. The tracklisting is excellent.
