Who do you think you're foolin?

Robbie Williams concert on the weekend was good.. I dont think I can honestly say it was the greatest ever though. Slow start-up, but the vibe picked up about halfway. Production-wise was pretty amazing with visuals, lighting, fireworks/fire balls. His egotistical man-boy charm was very endearing.

He played all his popular old(er) tracks.. nothing off the new album, so I thought, until he came back out for his encore (in Adidas gear that was branded with his "RPW" initials) and did Rudebox.

But no Lovelight... which is his current track playing on the radio.
Although going by Chris Coco's Blog (tour DJ), Lovelight was filmed at the 2nd show in Perth.

Lovelight was produced by Mark Ronson, who also plays bass/electric guitar, percussion, beats + scratches (he does 4 others on Rudebox) with his trademark horn-infused soul, bordering on disco maybe? Robbie hits those high notes, eh? Its actually a cover of Londoner Lewis Taylor's criminally unknown track from his album Stoned (Part 1) released in 2005. Admittedly I didnt know it until RW remade it, so there you have it. Criminal, I tells ya.

So here's the original.
