Of the stuff off the new album, I thought the ones that played best live were Pretty Boy (crowd liked the yeah yeah chorus) and Open the Door (that fun heavy beat). Weakest to me was Council Skies. I couldn't hear the guitars really at all. Bad news for folks who said the singles were the weakest on the album, because that's all he played. Couldn’t hear Gem was a theme of the night I thought! Someone needs their ears examined. Fabulous show anyway.

I don’t have words for how good a moment Going Nowhere was. Unbelievable. Helped in part by the fact that there was another big fan right in front of me who was equally aware of what was happening. Whole night worth it for that one imo.
Great show overall. I think a song got cut between Love Will Tear and DLBIA, because his tech went to hand him an acoustic then ran back, got the 355, and they had a conversation before he played DLBIA.
New songs all sounded good. I can’t tell if the 3 backing singers are the Roxy girls from 2019 or new ones? But they sounded great either way. Plus a new keys player behind Gem.
Everyone seemed to be having a great night, this augurs well for the tour. Thanks for putting up with my ramblings this evening.

Why does he insist on not playing Wonderwall when he knows that in USA don't know any other song?

Great show. Much better vibes than 2012 lol. Most people there for garbage but the Noel fans represented pretty good. I was like a kid again when he played Going nowhere

Not a bad setlist. I'd replace Black Star Dancing and Little by Little. The crowd loved Little By Little so getting rid of that is a hard sell. Agreed about Black Star Dancing. In terms of the flow of the gid I’d replace it with Holy Mountain. EDIT: except… Gem does get to do a big fuck off guitar solo in Black Star Dancing, so they’d need to find another one of those for him.

The Joy Division cover needs to go. Why not play the cover of Mind Games instead which is amazing?

Well that's what I was afraid of, Noel's not playing any of the album's best tunes. Is the DOYS tour all over again hahaha
On good notes: - pretty boy sounding very good live (thx real drums by Charrock). Although I hope Noel plays it electric, it's going to have even more punch for a set opener - very nice to have We're Get There In The End in the set! - but I'm not happy to see Open The Door among the few chosen from the new album - We're On Our Way is a good song but I don't see the live appeal - BSD sounds better live but there were so many better options - yay, Masterplan!! Love to see it live and Gem kicking ass on that solo - going nowhere sounding amazing, so nice! - glad Live Forever indeed made the set - joy division made their way on set as predicted. Still not sure how I fell about it
Bold not to play Wonderwall and disappointed about not seeing the rumored falling down there in the set. Hope to see it down the tour

This just made me think… prior to last night, when was his last show without horns? Might have been from the first NGHFB album era.

I am perpetually amazed by how obsessed people on this forum are with middle-aged men's bodies. 🤣🤣 I'm a middle aged man and would love someone to be obsessed with my body. Not even my wife is!
