There has be rumors that these two great tracks aren't performed live because they are complicated and "unplayable" (from a technical viewpoint) live, I remember (probably) that Noel has said something like "we've tried to rehearse it in the studio, f-ed up and gave it up"

Now the theory has got an additional confirmation:

(Noel's quote from the today's newsroom)

"This is the first time we've ever not played an album live in the studio together," Gallagher points out. "This is all virtually hung around a drum loop and a bass line, and then we just start and we build it from there. So we were trying to create it like you would create dance music; we weren't really set on the arrangements. We had the songs, the words and the melodies. The rest of it was all up for grabs."

Coupled with shifts in the band's personnel (Zak Starkey left the band and was replaced by former Robbie Williams drummer Chris Sharrock for the current tour), the new method has made for some uncertain moments in the band's live performances.

"Number one," he says, "we had to break in a new drummer, and number two, we had to play songs off a new album that we'd never played before. It had all been done on the computer. So for the first few weeks, it was a bit — I gotta say, it was a bit shit, it was a bit, fucking, 'Oh, my God, this isn't going to work.' But it clicked in the end."

That probably explains why they they don't play Bag It Up and The Turning (High Horse Lady, Nature of Reality and Soilder On are probably not performed live for another reason )

It's a shame because Bag It Up and The Turning are great tracks, and can you imagine Liam singing the latter's chorus at the Wembley Stadium with the whole crowd jumping up and down... ah
