Wow This is the Place live. It could have been a huge Oasis classic.

Overall I thought it was a great set, very weird seeing a performance in a empty theatre and Noel himself at times looked like it was an odd setting for him, but that didn't really take away from the sound
I love what the band has become, they're a tight unit and the different backgrounds they have really add colours and flavours to the whole thing, I was thinking whatching it about how far this has come since the start of HFB, with just 5 guys and Jeremy and Tim in the band Also I read in that infamous S*n interviews Noel says his bad is made up of 14 people now, I wonder if whenever they're allowed he plans to get the Roxy girls in permanently, at least when touring the UK
As for the songs themselves, thought Black Star Dancing and This Is The Place were the absolute highlights, rich, groovy sound and a lot of energy, they're a great example of how the unit has come into its own Loved Gem's solo on BSD Fort Knox, Holy Mountain, It's A Beautiful World and What A Life sounded great, but that's no news as they're always gone down well live A Dream was a nice little surprise, thought they did a pretty good job and I'm glad we got to hear it, I was hoping Blue Moon Rising would get a play too Wandering Star is better live than on the record, but I think I've moved past the need for it (still lovely lyrics tho, romantic bastard) Dead In The Water was brilliant, he's always straining a bit when singing it, but I think it adds to the performance We're On Our Way wasn't bad for a first airing, thought they found a good way with the instrumental albeit maybe a bit too fast, Noel struggled a bit with the verses tho (and I believe they struggled with the volumes of all the backing vocals too) DLBIA is always great, I'd love to hear it electric again though, but not gonna take anything away from him That cover of The Mighty Quinn was nice, really unexpected and that's not something you say a lot about Noel
Also I thought the interview was really good, nothing shockingly new but while he can be a c*nt while talking about nearly everything else you can see the genuine love when he talks music and creating and it's always interesting to listen

Was surprised how good 'Black Star Dancing' sounded live. Prefer it over the studio version. 'The Mighty Quinn' was a cool treat too. Worked well. Overall ('Wandering Star' aside) it was a strong set.

Yeah it was good, I agree Black Star Dancing did sound good, it’s grown on me that track since it was released. Nice Version of DLBIA as well.

Great set list, The Mighty Quinn brilliant! It was all about the interview for me. There was no new information but it was a different style of interview than I've ever seen him do before. Very open and humble. However to say he doesn't look at his spot in the charts I don't believe as he sits there with his 10 number 1 albums accolade.

When he said from BHN to DBTT was pretty forgettable (that hurt, btw), did he mean DOYS is this amazing masterpiece or did he just forget about it? Hmmm, I don't think he meant that I think he meant as in the style of songs he was writing He did mention 'bar a few tunes' and from his songs that he wrote, I think we know that he likes Go Let It Out, Little By Little and SCYHO from that era. Other than that he probably doesn't relate those songs to any massively fond memories. I think he does like DOYS era songs - Falling Down he's always raved about (and he should do it live!), Shock Of The Lightning etc, but I think it's more because it went in a different direction, slightly. A different style to what he was writing. For all DOYS' faults, I don't think the good songs off it were ever 'Oasis by the numbers', which is what I think the criticism of a lot of BHN-HC is.

The 00s are largely forgettable and all. There’s maybe one great album to made out of that era. I don’t see why it’s so controversial for Noel to say that

This was the first time ever that I enjoyed This is the Place. The bongos (or what) on Dream were brilliant and BSD was great as usual. The vocals on Holy Mountain were abismal, he was holding the notes at the end of verses and completely ruined the song, and the cover of The Mighty Quinn was just scary and sounded like I Saw the Light by Johnny Cash. But the interview was good too so 1.2 hours well spent. He's not hitting the notes on the Chorus of dead in the water like he used to as well Could it just be lack of practice? You have to think, this is now well over 1 and 1/2 years without any live performances other than rehearsals, and the 'live' performances are very sporadic, as are rehearsals (which we know only started in what, April?) Then again, for Liam in 2017, the rest had clearly done him good, though I suppose with the style of Liam's voice it was more about power rather than hitting certain notes etc. Noel's voice has never been and never will be anywhere near as powerful, it's more about his range. Dunno, I'm not a singer, but I imagine a severe lack of practice doesn't help. Unless you're blessed with just a naturally consistent voice (Tommy from DMA's being the perfect contemporary example of that), then I guess an extended break would be tough. It's one of those things that would normally be ironed out by the first few gigs of a tour, but obviously, this isn't a tour, it's just one-off performances every now and then.

He’ll say something else tomorrow. I like those albums but I think you have to be in the hardcore to really like them.

He relates music that he's written/been a part of to times in his life and clearly that was a happy time.

Really enjoyed the gig.
Interview was alright, nothing new though.
Find his try-hard constant comments about City pure cringe though.

It's definitely a factor, which is why as you said usually you'd notice bands get it going after a couple of gigs while on tour, but then Dead In The Water has always been a bit on the edge for him, it's really high

Anyone else think the acoustic was turned up too high for Dead in the Water? Seemed to be way higher than the WBTM version and not particularly better for it in my opinion.
I absolutely love Fort Knox. Sounds massive live.

That it was more about reflecting where he/they are now, than where they were. There was only two songs on it that were released before 2017. Pretty mad when you consider that.

I know the summer of ‘05 was marred by 7/7, but I still have extraordinarily fond memories of that time, a big part of which was due to DBTT being everywhere in the UK during that period. And, while the circumstances were tragic, the crowd singing Live Forever at Milton Keynes a couple of days after the attack was something I’ll never forget. It wasn’t really until the US tour that the state of Liam’s voice became apparent, and in hindsight, Zak never really clicked with them live, but for those brief few months when Oasis was on top of the world in the UK again for a bit, it was magical.

When he said from BHN to DBTT was pretty forgettable (that hurt, btw), did he mean DOYS is this amazing masterpiece or did he just forget about it? I was wondering that too. Forgettable? There’s 6 U.K. number 1 singles within those albums I think. Which the public are far more likely to remember than any of his HFB songs

I love this cover of Mighty Quinn. I think it would make a great closer for his next tour, similar to how Oasis used covers sometimes as a closer.
