Yep I specifically remember being so psyched to see Gem & Andy’s first show! I think Detroit was the first? Too lazy to google it haha I also recall that Oasis did a radio session in Toronto on that December mini tour. Played WFL, SMC, TT and RNRS. I seem to remember that version of SMC to be my favorite and more rocking. Use to have an MP3 of years ago. Yep Edge 102! That was where the photo above was taken!

PS also met Gem that day and because I had only *read* his name online, I called him “Jem” and promptly died of embarrassment when he said “its GEM.” 🤦🏼♀️ He was so sweet though!

Good eye! Yes this was in Toronto at Edge 102 on Dec. 7, 1999 just after they played The Night 89X Stole Xmas in Detroit. Met Liam that night! I caught them in Philadelphia on that same tour. First gig of the new Oasis lineup featuring Gem and Andy. Bummed the "new upcoming" single wan't played at the show (Go Let It Out) and with the extremely short setlist (5 songs). On the ride home, Y100 played an exclusive live acoustic take of "Who Feels Love?", a world premier so that was cool. Yep I specifically remember being so psyched to see Gem & Andy’s first show! I think Detroit was the first? Too lazy to google it haha

- yes we went to take a photo and he playfully put my cousin & I in a headlock...and I held tight to that man like you couldn’t believe haha

Yep I got that it was a silver marker. Called him a 'clumsy vagina' and said 'this isn't for you.' and went into Wonderwall LOL First anti-dedication I've ever seen live

Yesterday I asked Noel to re-enact a photo we took together 19 years ago when I was 15 years old and he did it! I am in love with this side by side comparison! 😆 The man just keeps getting better with age! http://instagr.am/p/BfdfeS8lGxF Was that photo from the Christmas USA 1999 tour? Good eye! Yes this was in Toronto at Edge 102 on Dec. 7, 1999 just after they played The Night 89X Stole Xmas in Detroit. Met Liam that night!

Oh my god what a day... I can’t even begin to say what a LOVELY person Noel is and he’s happier than I’ve ever seen him! He was so sweet and re-enacted my photo from 19 years ago. He sat down and talked to us for like ten mins. I got a selfie and a hug and he couldn’t have been more wonderful, kind, genuine and interested. We got lots of attention during the show which made it all the more amazing of a day! I am on cloud nine and not coming down any time soon We also got to catch up with the rest of the band who were also wonderful! Gem is doing AMAZING (I told him we worried after his accident) and he was joking around, as lovely as I always remembered. http://instagram.com/p/BfcAf-Ll_zM http://instagram.com/p/Bfb9TZolEUI

Sounds so cool! Definitely going to give this a watch.
Reminds me of the TV show Clueless - I was a teenager when it came out and lost my shit because getting Oasis tickets was a plot line and Cher & Dionne were mooning all over Liam & Noel on MTV hehe - here's the episode for anyone who wants to see:

Disagree - Dying of The Light is the closest to an Oasis anthem we’ve had in yearssss For me personally, You Know We Can't Go Back is pure 90s Oasis. I like Dying of the Light but have some personal attachment to If I Had A Gun so I prefer that one. Yeah love YKWCGB too but for faster songs Lock All The Doors would fit the bill for me as for classic Oasis tunes.

Best bet is to show up at stage door at 3 pm and be prepared to wait a while. Typically between 3-4 pm is when he’ll arrive for soundcheck and sign. That being said, the other night in Boston it was 6:05 pm. Hence my question above - wondering if it was because of footie Good luck!! I'm looking to get some stuff signed from NG as well! It looks like it's gonna be some heavy rain on Tuesday though.. do you think this would change anything?? Hope not!!

Noel should be playing The Dying of The Light instead of If I Had A Gun during live shows.

Question: was there a football match on today (Sat. Feb. 17) that Noel would have watched in the afternoon? I ask because he didn’t come out for signing in Boston until very late, at 6:05 pm from what I see on IG. Follow up question: is there a match he’d be watching on Tues. Feb. 20? Please help me out any footie fans Chelsea vs Barcelona, Champions League, kick off 7:45pm UK time Tuesday 20th Feb As a football fan Noel may watch this Thanks! Hmmmm I’ll have to keep me fingers crossed he sticks to his souchcheck schedule

At venues where you can get near the back door he soundchecks around 4 pm but you should arrive at 3 pm and wait. Barring a football game he’ll arrive sometime in there However sometimes he plays venues with complex “load in” areas - those venues are impossible to do the signing and he doesn’t come find you (can’t blame him).

Go to the stage door (not the front) at 3 pm and wait - sometime between 3-4 he'll come as long as there's not a football game on He usually signs for fans beforehand. Good luck!
