That's the best version of Live Forever I've heard him do since god knows when. Absolutely nailed it.

What a version of WMWN! Needs to keep that one in. The organ is a lovely touch.
The band are excellent now and clearly at the point where they can put a bit of their in own marks on the songs.

These are his best run of gigs - band, stylist, vibe - since before I had greying hair and a proper job! (And I’m in my early 40s folks!)

Just about to set off back to Manchester. Great gig, crowd were unreal. Was down at the front and the solo songs going down just as well as the oasis songs. Stand by me a real highlight.

Was just gonna say this. I've been way too busy with work lately to keep tabs of everything but have just listened to WMWN from yesterday and really noticed how great the band sound. I suppose on songs like that, that aren't bonafide classics that we all know and love, they have more creative freedom and it sounds great. Liam's voice sounds as strong as you'd expect after a year off too. So it's all very positive.

Has it ever been done better? Serious question. It's everything that song should be from the defiant start to the perfect John-homage end. Band is fully on it now. Happy for those who get to see him in this phase. Long may it last. It’s my favorite of his solo tunes and I saw it live when I flew over for the Dublin gigs; it came off good then, but this version is outrageous. I concur about the band — it’s difficult to become a singular musical entity when cherry-picking musicians and tossing them together, but they’ve obviously done so. I’m wildly impressed by the sonic power/precision. This is a legitimate rock n roll band now, ladies and gentlemen.

Just watched the iPlayer footage and was blown away at times. I can’t remember the last time he sounded that good on Hello, Wonderwall but especially Live Forever.
I’ve listened to tons of live versions of LF, and simply can’t recall the last time he nailed it like that. Which is kind of ironic as people were also raving about Noel’s LF rendition earlier this week.
Since about 2018 his voice has gotten so much stronger, I’m guessing due to his Hashimoto’s treatment. And to top it all, he got the second verse of Acquiesce right 😂

Genuinely prefer his voice at TRANSMT to what I've heard of Knebworth

Genuinely prefer his voice at TRANSMT to what I've heard of Knebworth I agree and I’ve said as much before. He’s obviously not got the same range or lung control, but when he’s on point now, I prefer the deeper tone of his voice to the higher, nasally tones.

I think Knebworth he's way too off it despite his obviously much better range then. Now he's getting everything from what he's got. Then he was driving a ferrari at 30mph

Not liking these big gaps down the middle of the crowd. Safety thing id imagine but seems odd not having people directly in front of the middle of the stage aka liam

"NONE OF THAT FUCKING KPOP NONSENSE FROM IRELAND, DUBLIN." I imagine he's referring to the band Inhaler based on his past tweets and replies...? What's he got against those poor guys?

I've just finished watching the highlights on IPlayer (yes I'm still up) and what a great gig it was. I thought that we got more songs than the Reading highlights. Why Me Why Not/come Together is up on YouTube already. I'm sure that Edith what's her name said that there would be more of Liam's set on IPlayer than what was shown tonight after the highlights had finished? Just checked and they do seem to have full sets on there or at least extended highlights of other artists, we'll just have to wait for Liam's set Yeah, the full encore has been added to Liam's set. I watched it again this morning before dinner. I couldn't resist it.

Liam and his band are just so good now. I'm surprised that Liam dropped Columbia and Fade Away last night and I hope it's not for good. Why Me Why Not is one of my favourite Liam solo tunes, it's so good. As for the sound last night I thought it was much better than the Reading one the other weekend.

I can't wait for the Isle Of Wight festival next weekend now as Liam should be good.
