Promotion

To promote the release of Progress Live on home media and CD, Take That released a music video of their track "Eight Letters" which featured as the closing track on the album Progress and the final song they performed on the setlist of Progress Live. The music video shows highlights of the shows, including behind the scenes footage and the band performing and greeting the fans at the finale. The camera then pans away from Take That as they leave the stage, before receding further to reveal the stage set with the 60 ft mechanical man as it stands arms wide and its heart beating, standing out against the night sky. [1] The song was also released to radio, where it was playlisted by Radio 2 on its first week of radio airplay. [2]
