You can take lyrics out of context for any recording artist in history and declare them shit. My opinion was fully formed within the context of the song, not out of context. Noel is a superb songwriter, but has always been a piss poor lyricist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the set from Mad Cool that like @jparx, I was at (https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/noel-gallaghers-high-flying-birds/2019/valdebebas-ifema-madrid-spain-139e91cd.html). Wasn't actually expecting that much from it and it wasn't the top priority of the evening, being sandwiched between Bon Iver and Vampire Weekend (Chems. Iggy, Lauryn Hill all played the same night) but it was fantastic. Very much looking forward to seeing him again.

If he's a doing a ten or so setlist you'll definitely get Don't Look Back In Anger, The Masterplan and Half The World Away. Then m money would be on one of Wonderwall, Importance of Being Idle, Little By Little, Whatever or Stop Crying Your Heart Out.... possibly two if he doesn't do All You Need Is Love.

I don't think he'll have any issues subbing the Pyramid even with the first half of his set being solo stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Liam setlist has a way stronger selection of Oasis songs, yet I doubt it was anyone's highlight of 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the iconic Oasis songs (Wonderwall, Rock n Roll Star, Live Forever, Cigs & Alcohol, etc) were sung by Liam so he has all of them in his locker. One thing that usually lets Liam down is his backing band - seen him a few times and they've always been terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at the overall picture rather than fest specific setlists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FakeEmpire Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 I know it's not 'cool' right now but I like Noel's HFB. Saw them on the first record tour in 2012 and loved it. Since then, the solo output has become more interesting so I'm fully up for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petewilson09 Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Saw NGHFBs at This is Tomorrow last year and it was a good night. Not the most energetic of sets I must say but the crowd carries him through. It is not the biggest stage at TIT so if there isnt a strong crowd of actual fans some songs that he does may get a little lost on the pyramid. If he is playing before Macca then will almost certainly be there unless there is a massive draw elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry bear Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 I can’t imagine a scenario that culminated in me buying tickets for, and going to see NGHFB in concert, but I know I’d enjoy it on the bill with Aerosmith and Macca. It’s going to be some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEGABOWL Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Great booking for me, wouldn’t go to one of his own gigs but I like enough of his solo stuff (and the Oasis songs he sang) that a slot before Macca is almost a cast iron cert. Would take a huge draw to pull me elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
