I really hope that this energy and confidence carries through all the way to the European tour, the summer and the festivals, and right into North America.  |

Noel dedicated Digsy's Dinner to Kevin Bridges who was in attendance (had to look who he was - he's a comedian):
And the Sun already has a positive review of the gig (but I can't see the whole article without subscribing): www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/scotlandfeatures/caughtlive/6360283/Rocker-Noel-flying-high.htmlRocker Noel flying high
By CHRIS SWEENEY NOEL Gallagher soared into Scotland last night with his High Flying Birds band - and also swooped to grab the number one spot in the UK album charts.The rock superstar ripped the roof off a jam-packed SSE Hydro in Glasgow. -->So Noel is confirmed to be #1 in the charts!!  |

I fully expect Noel to get completely blathered tonight and write another kickass Tales blog. |

ITHOTM & BOTMI stuck out as highlights for me when I saw Noel in Dublin. They are up there with his best. Crowd seemed really into them. A friend of mine cited ITHOTM as a highlight too and he hadn't heard it before. I've been saying it for a few weeks now. The more I listen to "In The Heat of The Moment" the more I realize it is a BEAST of a tune. Noel sounds great singing it. Very powerful. Same with Mexican. It may sound wonky on the album, but live it is absolutely stunning in my opinion. |

Remember when Beady Eye got slagged to shit because the only videos people were getting excited about were Oasis ones like Champagne Supernova..... Oh the irony I never liked the idea of Beady Eye performing Oasis songs. Especially ones written by Noel Gallagher.........AKA.......the guy who quit on them. I said it years ago, the moment Beady Eye started playing Oasis songs would signify a white flag going up to surrender. That's exactly what happened. It's a little different for Noel since he is a solo artist and not a new band trying to forge a completely new identity. I loved that Beady Eye were sticking to their guns originally and avoiding Oasis tunes. Thought the band needed that policy for a long long time. Once album sales declined and concert venue attendance lagged the big Oasis guns were called in. Didn't like that idea one bit. Seemed desperate to create a buzz. I know some people probably loved it and had a great time at those shows but it would be the beginning of the end for a band called Beady Eye. The retreat started then. This is something I constantly don't understand when people make these posts like this. While Beady Eye wrote some great songs on BE like Iz Rite and Flick of the Finger, tunes that sound like true rocker anthems, all the while playing safe with simple acoustic sets for the rest. Like Lennon2217 said, when they started playing Rock N Roll star, Cigs and Alc., Wonderwall, etc. it meant that the crowd wasn't caring for their material but past material. They even played Champagne Supernova in Japan early last year for goodness sake. What is crazy for me to see is that Everybody's On the Run, which started off as a little tune Noel wrote back in late '08 etc. and played it for a soundcheck in Brazil that was thought to never truly see the light of day outside of a leaked recording put on youtube, has turned into a anthem. And now, 'Heat' literally was first heard last October and the crowd goes wild for it already. The same magic didn't happen with Beady Eye. Why, I don't know, but it did have to do with them stretching their musical creativity too far, eventually heading full on into a wall where fans rather got excited for older tunes. It's very sad how Beady Eye's chapter ended, because I do think there was alot of wasted potential, mainly because of their lackluster debut, and their second album being not as hyped up as the first. Also, to really sum up the answer to liamgallagher1992's post, Noel isn't just playing old Oasis songs, he's reinventing them. Champagne Supernova is a great example. |

I think the "X Factor" in the Gallagher brothers very much swung from Liam in the early days to now Noel. The general public in the main like Noel much more than Liam, he's engaging and funny and since going solo very much acts like a "star". Tonight he was an engaging and totally comfortable front man, the first time I've truly thought that. BE were doomed to failure because they didn't have the raw song writing talent Noel has and the fact Liam was losing "it" whilst Noel was gaining "it". |

Even though I wasn't into Oasis at the time of the '09 split, I can see how further apart an already divided fanbase could become. It's unfortunate it happened that way. |

Do The Damage should have been on the album. It's a great, great little track. Too good to be a b-side. I'm not sure whether to be aghast or impressed that Noel is two albums in and he's already building up top material to fill up his solo version of "The Masterplan". Do The Damage I'd Pick You Every Time Freaky Teeth Alone on The Rope Shoot A Hole Into The Sun Simple Game of Genius Also, In the Heat of the Moment. Epic live tune. People have been fucking playing down this track since it came out. Fools  . You'd think hardcore Oasis fans could sniff out a PRIME Noel Gallagher stadium stomper when they hear it. Oh, I agree. I'm going to confess (with some shame) that I wasn't a giant fan of Do the Damage at first, but hearing it a few more times, and live, has completely changed my mind. As we've already known for some time, most of Noel's b-sides are good enough to be other people's singles. As for In the Heat of the Moment, I was one of those people who was a fan from the very beginning and I knew it was going to be fantastic live. I wasn't wrong. |

The 3rd or 4th chance we have had to hear new material played live? And I signed in to champagne supernova and Don't look back in anger. I just think it proves really we all know we love to hear Oasis songs more than anything either Gallagher will put out now (in the main) and the shit Beady Eye got was slightly OTT |

What saves them is the fact they're rearranged with a choir etc and the fact Liam isn't (in latter Oasis) screeching them out (CS anyway). |

A pic of Noel. doing his point to the sky moment. It was epic live as it seemed quite a moment. The crowd were chanting his name and he just stood with the spotlight on him pointing and looking up.

If you were hearing a set full of Noel songs, he'd be playing same places as Beady Eye were BE didn't have the songs or the talent. NGHFB was the 2nd biggest selling album behind Coldplay in 2012, that's a massive, massive achievement . The amount of new, young fans I saw around today was surprising even to me. He's a solo artist in his own right even without Oasis songs. The reaction to WAL tonight was really immense. Just don't agree he'd head the way of BE without Oasis songs at the gigs, that's nonsense to be honest. |
