Robbie Williams: Live at the Albert (2001)
Member Rating:  
British pop star Robbie Williams paid tribute to the swingin' style of Frank Sinatra and the great song standards of the 1950s on his 2001 album Swing When You're Winning, and this video -- recorded during a performance at London's Royal Albert Hall, with a 58-piece orchestra backing him up -- features Williams performing a set of classic standards and big-band favorites for an enthusiastic audience. Robbie Williams: Live at the Albert features Williams and the band swinging through 16 numbers, including "Mack the Knife," "Ain't That a Kick in the Head," "One for My Baby," "Let's Face the Music and Dance," "Beyond the Sea," and "The Lady Is a Tramp." ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This DVD really took me by surprise. Robbie Williams is a captivating entertainer. Although his personality is simply riotous-crazy, surprisingly, he actually has a respectable vocal range, and sustains a tender, sensitive quality in his voice! You would need to have some understanding of his personal/professional biography to fully appreciate the uniqueness of this particular performance. I'm somewhat confident that I would not enjoy his more mainstream pop concerts, but I would have dropped big money to attend this concert. I loved the mix of music, and the energy of the evening - it was just fun! This is a DVD I definitely plan to purchase and share with my friends. Caution: if you're sensitive to language, several f-words are used throughout the show.

This is an emotional, well-done performance by one of Europe's top pop stars. Unlike anything he's done before or since, this video showcases Robbie's true vocal talent and ability to put on an entertaining yet intimate show. Even if you've never heard of Robbie Williams but love swing and big band music, treat yourself and check out this show. You'll rush out to buy the CD, I guarantee it!

Great show.Mr Williams is a true artist, wish I had been there to see the show. If you like music from te 50's and Sinatra this is for you. Relax and enjoy over a nice glass wine, he is something else. Spend an evening with Mr Williams at the Albert Hall, you will never forget this unique exprience. Robbie you are the best. Brilliant show.
