Just got back from Manchester. It was a brilliant gig. The high flying birds are really powerful. The songs sound so much better live than on record.

Yeah, top gig. The two performances I'd seen on the telly leading up to the gig were a little shoddy which had formed a small doubt in the back of my mind, but last night was excellent, Noel's voice was on top form and his band backed him up perfectly. The madferit's were out in full force too, including the one person who held up a cardboard cutout of Liam's head bang in front of Noel throughout the whole of the gig  . The setlist had a nice blend and the whole gig flew by tbh, very much like a high flying bird, lol. Ideally, I'd have swapped Supersonic, Little By Little and TIOBI for Fade Away, The Masterplan and Slide Away, but can't grumble. Also, was having a few cans outside the pub around half an hour before he was due on stage, and out jumped Noel from a car right near us. He'd left it late. Had probably been to Peggy's for his tea. Best song (besides the Oasis classics, which obviously sounded timeless and went down a treat): Stranded On The Wrong Beach - sounded excellent. Worst song: If I Had A Gun - still enjoyable but it was sped up slightly and would be better peformed acoustically live, imo. |

Oh yeah, seeing as I mentioned If I Had A Gun...
Before Noel came on stage they played a remix of the track with a female on vocals, sounded terrific, and really quite dark compared to the released version. I'd like to know more about wtf this was.

 Did you see the pissed Scottish bloke sat on the bench? He came over claiming his name was Rab C Nesbitt so my brother told him his name was Ryan Giggs, to which he screamed "EVRABAAADY, AT'S RYAN GAGGS!". Many supposed City fans didn't look too happy when they turned around to see what was going on. The bloke asked for a free beer by blagging that he was selling t-shirts outside after the gig and would do a trade, a t-shirt for a beer. We gave him a free beer anyhow.
