Dollymarie Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Take That gigs have always been the best, Kylie put on a bloody good show last year at Earls court last year, but the "show" that the Take That boys do is just beyond comparison, yes I might still be on a high from last night, but thats still me opinion.
