In general Oasis have never been a band to change songs too much live, which is something Ive always liked. Going to an Oasis/NGHB gig have always been about the songs and the crowds reaction to them. That statement is so wrong. Oasis never sounded like their albums live. Yes, they often kept the structure of the songs but they instrumentation was often different and many of Noels guitar fills varied a lot from the album versions. Especially up until 2003 their live versions had so much more edge than the album versions. |

I do miss Noel's banter though. It's a hallmark of a bygone era, as is Liam's on stage gibberish. Really do miss both.

Yes Oasis didnt play every single note the way they were recorded, but compared to say Bob Dyland or David Bowie they didnt change much. For the record the Oasis way is how I prefer it anyways, Id like to recognize the songs my favorite band play live. |

I wonder if coke was the only thing that made Noel play those long outros. I mean, they were obviously rehearsed, so thought out. He didn't just snort one before the gig and started improvising...
So what made them decide to add so much to the songs back then, and what made them forget they ever did it!
I mean, if you show Noel a clip of G-mex, I bet he doesn't even remember them playing the songs like that...

I like the gmex gig but its a bit annoying that they wasted half an hour on three songs (all around the world, champagne supernova and fade in/out) for pretty much average guitar solos. Lets face it noel is not jimmy page and even by led zeppelin these endless solos are pretty dull and boring. |

Compared to the first HFB album gigs, Noel is practically dancing at his gigs this year! He's actually showing a bit of movement on stage. Also, that bit on Lock All The Doors where he slides the guitar strings across the mic stand is awesome.  It would be cool to have longer outros and things like that, I definitely agree, but Noel is never going to be like the Dave Matthews Band or other bands that are known for jamming and improvising. The fact that he can just sing a song straight, playing his guitar, with just his band and a couple visuals, and have thousands of people singing along, is good enough for me.  I think Oasis and Noel have always sounded better live than the albums anyway. Hearing songs like Champagne Supernova and DLBIA in New York this summer, for me, was electric. |

I say open with an hour of I'd Have You Anytime, leave the stage then
do a 30 second version of A Simple Game Of Genius as an encore.

Noel's on stage soloing/improvisation is, ahem, a weak point (his on record soloing, otoh, is often pretty good). See What A Life as proof. He does absolutely nothing interesting with that song. There are four guys on my street who could come up with something better, in all seriousness. And his current guitarist will not be setting any areans on fire with his guitar work. I feel like the guy requires incredibly deep concentration to hit his standard marks. Let's not scramble his brain completely by asking for some crazy fills and solos. Given who is up on stage, I'd say they're wise to play it straight. Agreed, but again, what happened in 97-98?! |

I think if Noel would read this thread he'd quit touring for ever since and talk about it in every interview how hated it so i would suggest to delete all that.

In general Oasis have never been a band to change songs too much live, which is something Ive always liked. but if you really think about it, there have been several songs they changed up live thru the years. i totally get what the o.p. is trying to say. for example, the extended intro to 'stranded on the wrong beach'. the subtle, little extras and modifications that can really give the songs an extra boost and make them come alive in a live setting. |

(songs like big mouth, walrus, shock, etc. etc.) i regret that i never made the trip to see them on that tour. |

They played My Big Mouth, and Liam sounded really good that gig |
