Elaine!!!

I'm so glad you got your tickets!!!!

You know what? Gutted though I am not to be going Listening/reading all of you is making up for it!

Is it on TV? Just so's I can TTFFL spot all the way through?

BBC two are showing it later on that night, but at the moment it looks like it's just highlights they're showing...

It's going out live on Radio 1 though And Scott Mills has an interview wth Rob at 7pm before the show

Before you know it we'll be into singl figures, then it will be a week and then a day...

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

It feels good to have something happening that we can use the smiley for

Except the day before is going to be scary, because it is ticket day for the RAH.

I'm trying not to think about that yet!!!

However, if we DO manage to get tickets for the RAH then Robbie is gonna be even more awesome

Yeah... the worst of it for me is that, because I am off work on ticket day, I have to try for tickets, but even if I get them there is no guarantee I can go.
How gutting would that be.

But I'm feeling slightly better about it now that I'm getting to have my TT fix on the 22nd. And at least CIN will be televised, and I will have the book to keep me occupied.

If you get tickets you must try and find a way to go!! I'd be gutted for you if you didn't

That's true, I keep forgetting that the books are out before everything else

Apparently they're only showing 45 mins of the gig on TV in the UK. Assuming the gig is longer than 45 mins - it's not very fair for people in the UK is it, really

I posted about this somewhere in this thread a few days ago in response to Jo's question I think

anyway, yeah it's not very fair that all they're showing is 45 minutes since it's not going out in the cinemas here.

Could it be because they're planning to release it on DVD so the BBC can only have the rights to show a limited amount of the concert

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

After last night I'm ten times more excited

I haven't given it too much thought so far - but I've just been having a think: has anyone given any thoughts as to what we might get?

I know we'll get a few from RKTVS, but i don't know what else

Songs i think would go well with an orchestra
- Eternity (I have an orchestral version of this on my iPod which is fab)
- Advertising Space
- No Regrets
- Supreme
- Feel
- Millennium
- Phoenix From the Flames
- Angels (obv)
- Possibly something swing ?

In an ideal world I'd get at least one of my all-time fave Rob songs (Heaven From Here would bring me too the floor, but i doubt it very much) well in an ideal world I'd get every single Rob song EVER But I know I'm going to love whatever he sings anyway.

There was definitely an impliaction of something swing in one of the adverts or bits of blurb I read. And it made me excited.

(doesnt seem to take much these days!)

Yeah I reckon it's too good an opportunity for him not to do something swing...Mr Bojnagles maybe

Mr Bojnagles would make me - it's my fave of the swing set

I know the feeling well

Glad to know something swing has been hinted at

I don't think he would do it but Better Man would sound nice with an orchestra
