Выступление Робби Уильямса в Альберт Холле в 2001 безусловно стало одним из наиболее ярких событий в его карьере. Исполнив песни из репертуара Фрэнка Синатра, Робби в необычном для него амплуа не только продемонстрировал широту своих вокальных возможностей, но и своей легкой подачей, не выходя тем не менее за рамки традиционного исполнения, сумел приблизить шедевры 20-40-х годов к молодой неискушенной публике. Советую по возможности посмотреть DVD "Robbie Williams Live at the Albert Hall", который до сих пор является одним из наиболее продаваемых музыкальных DVD в Европе. Ниже интересный фрагмент из концерта. Исполнение Робби популярной еще в 1927 песни "Me and My Shadow" в дуэте со своим давним другом Джонатоном Уилксом.

[spoken]
Robbie: (american accent) Johnny and Robbie
Jonathon: What you talking like that for, you're from Stoke!
Robbie: I dunno but I can't stop here pally

Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the seashore clings to the sea
Like you'll never get rid of your shadow
You'll never get rid of me

Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happens, we've got us.

[Me and my shadow]
We're closer than pages that stick in a book
We're closer than ripples that flow in a brook
[Strolling down the avenue]
Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look
Closer than a miser or the bloodhounds to Liza

Me and my shadow
We're closer than smog to all of L.A.
We're closer than Ricky to confessing he's gay??
Not a soul can bust this team in two
We stick together like glue

And when it's sleeping time
That's when we rise
We start to swing
Our clocks don't chime
What a surprise
They ring-a-ding-ding!
Happy New Year!

[Me and my shadow]
And now to repeat what I said at the start
They'll need a large crowbar to break us apart
We're alone but far from blue

Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar
We'll hit a few late spots, and then a few more
We'll wind up at Stringy's and maybe ? show
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
For my shadow and me!

[spoken]
Jonathon: Can we do that again
Robbie: No, I'm too tired
Jonathon: Please Rob
Robbie: No, I'm swung out
Jonathon: I'll give you some money
Robbie: I don't need money
Jonathon: What about a cup of tea
Robbie: Not thirsty
Jonathon: I'll won't tell anyone you're gay.
(Both Laugh)

Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar
We'll hit all the late spots, and then a few more
We'll wind up at Stringy's and maybe ? show
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
For my shadow and me!
