    Robbie Williams Triumphs At Roundhouse Comeback - Video

    Robbie Williams performed his first full live show in three years at The Roundhouse in London last night (October 20).

    The opening night of the BBC's Electric Proms, the former Take That star was more at ease in front of the 3,000 strong crowd than his wide-eyed appearance on the X Factor earlier in the month.

    Kicking off with recent single 'Bodies' and 'Reality Killed The Video Star' opener 'Morning Sun', Robbie slowly eased into the set.

    He told the crowd: "It's a bit nerve wracking, my first gig for three years. Thank you for making me feel comfortable."

    With third song 'Come Undone', it was the Robbie of old as he gained swagger and stage presence. Backed by a 38 piece orchestra and producer Trever Horn, he has plenty of support too.

    Robbie, of course, came under criticism for his X Factor performance on October 11 where he was visibly nervous. Joking to the crowd last night, he said: “You nearly made me cry then when I realised it wasn't the X Factor!”

    After rattling through crowd pleasers 'Angels', 'Millennium', 'No Regrets' he finished with a cover of the Buggles song 'Video Killed The Radio Star' – the inspiration for his album title and a nod to Trevor Horn who was in Buggles.

    You can see a video of the gig below. The set-list was as follows:

    Bodies
    Morning Sun
    Come Undone
    Blasphemy
    Starstruck
    Feel
    I Will Talk and Hollywood Will Listen
    Supreme
    Deceptacon
    No Regrets
    Won't Do That
    You Know Me
    Angels
    Millennium
    Video Killed the Radio Star
