Here are Robbie Williams BBC Electric Proms 2009 video, photos, and set-list, and review of his Oct. 20 performance which kicked off the annual concert series. Performing live at the Camden Roundhouse in London, the concert was broadcast across 250 cinema screens the UK and twenty-three countries in Europe.
According to The Telegraph, (in an article referenced below) this has set a Guinness World Record for the most simultaneous screenings of a live concert. For the singer-songwriter Robbie Williams who rose to fame initially with pop band Take That it was his first full concert in three years, it was a critically acclaimed performance in stark contrast to his recent and much discussed X Factor appearance in which he was visibly nervous.
His forthcoming eighth studio album, Reality Killed the Video Star will be released on November 9, 2009 in the UK. It is his first album since the world multi-platinum selling 2006 album Rudebox. He performed both old and new songs, including Millennium, Come Undone and Angels, as well as a cover of Trevor Horn’s Video Killed The Radio Star to which the title of his new album references. Horn is his producer and that night led the 38-piece band and orchestra at the concert. [Source: Robbie Williams beats X Factor nerves with comeback gig at Electric Proms]

As NME reports he paid tribute to his Take That band members, introducing ‘No Regrets’ as “a song about the band I used to be in.”
“I’ve got a new best mate and his name’s Gary Barlow,” he said. He also changed the final lyric of the song to “I guess the love we have is officially alive”, as opposed to “dead”.
