Take That setlist from opening night of This Life tour revealed as concert-goers 'lost for words'

Take That have finally kicked off their This Life tour - and fans are already praising the "brilliant" opening concert and its setlist of nostalgia-filled bangers.

Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen opened the tour in style at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield this weekend, giving thousands of fans a night they would 'Never Forget'. The performance - which featured everything from waterfalls, spinning stages, and pyrotechnics - has garnered rave reviews online, with some fans saying they were "lost for words."

The tour - which stops off in Middlesbrough on May 24 - is designed to take fans on a TV special throughout the band's over 30-year career. And while they belted out newer songs, such as Windows, concert-goers were treated to a trip down memory lane with hits such as Shine, Everything Changes, and Rule the World featuring on the setlist.

They even treated fans to a performance of I Found Heaven, a song from their debut studio album Take That & Party that Setlist.fm states had not been performed live since 1992. The trio also got the chance to perform one song each
