I've only gotten glimpses due to some of the professionally shot ones up on youtube. I just watched the Cleveland YaHoo broadcast one, and was yet again disappointed. Hence this thread.
Did like Fade Away, though - almost perfect to the Warchild Version. But other than that, his vocals seem very coarse, he pulled a Liam during TDOYAM, and just isn't reaching form. And I find the band equally rough, and average at best.
I don't know what it's going on this time around. He nailed the 2011 tour.
I'd give him in between 5 and a 6 (Going with 5 for the sake of this poll). Not impressed, and haven't been all tour around. He can do so much better than this.

Are people deaf or what?
He sounded great when I went to see him. Atmittedly, he had a few performances that were considerably worse, but in general, so far I'd give it an 8.

In Utrecht he was great, the first webstream at Zenith he had a voice infection or something like that. I jusst listened to iTunes festival gig in 2012 but his voice sounds horrible

Most people who are just stuck watching the bootlegs should have just gone to see him, seems they're the ones who have been the most critical this tour. He might not be hitting the notes and maybe the playing is off (I don't know, but all the NGHFB stuff was played differently this time around anyway), but I didn't notice. The only thing that was really off was Ballad of the Mighty I, but that was because it needed Johnny's bits to sound right.
You just have to read the comments from all of us coming back from the gigs to know how much more special it was this time around compared to the previous tour.

I can't be alone in this thought, though: The Cleveland gig Sponsored by Yahoo and broadcast on YouTube, was shocking. It was absolutely dire. Other than Fade Away, I have no idea what the fuck was going on there. And as a side note: While I do have one myself (sadly), an American accent shouting at Noel during the gig not only sounds cringe inducing, but also comes across as VERY sarcastic.  |

Provoking here: Wasn't that the exact same thing said about the BDI gigs with Liam's voice? This is not a desirable comparison or analogy, if conceptually true. |

Noel CAN sing live and it seems pretty clear to me that he's at least a consistent and solid singer 95% of the times,what are we talking about? |

The only problem I have with this tour is ditching BOTMI.
Oh, and the fact that I've not (yet) been able to see Noel this time. But that's not his fault. If I had the opportunity, I would without a doubt have gone.

Guys, the show that I saw in Chicago was fantastic. Period. His voice, the band, his guitar, his humor... all tops. Loved every minute of it.

When I'm at a gig (not only at Noel's but in general) I enjoy and don't give attention to the sound quality, voice or whatsever. I enjoy every moment being at a gig, that's why I pay for.

Honestly, what's wrong with the Cleveland gig? Shocking? Dire? It wasn't his best gig in the tour but it's pretty good. You should listen again to the bootleg... |

O2 Arena here, I give him a 8. Because it's Noel, but a objective vote would be 6.5 (as a non fan).

Milan and RAH are perhaps the two best concerts I've ever been to.

I thought this tour was better than last. It was an extremely intimate theatre, but Noel was up for it. He was spot on for almost every song and really enjoyed himself.

Superb - only because at Rivolli Hall he dedicated riveman to wife on her birthday
General I thought he was good, elements great and elements poor. Think riveman and BOTMI sounded pretty under par to me
O2 was worst for me (went to O2, Rivolli and RAH). Thought he nailed RAH.

I was at the Lincoln Theatre in DC. Very intimate. Very surreal since previously my only experience with anything Oasis related was watching them play massive stadiums. So to have one of my idols just a few rows in front of me onstage was very enjoyable. Noel was spot on for the gig, and the crowd was up for it. My dad was very complimentary of Tim Smith (and I told him that pretty much everyone here hates Tim Smith... don't know why. I guess because he isn't Gem). I think Noel has done a superb job. Especially taking into consideration he was sick for the first few gigs of the tour (notice the tissues on his amp instead of his NME award...cheeky or actually needed?) and when I saw him, he had just recently canceled his Mexico City gig due to food poisoning. I disagree with people nitpicking performances based on the bootlegs. There is nothing like being there, as I have learned first hand. The only bootleg that I permit to be nitpicked is Argentina 2006  |

The point of a gig is not to sound like a record for people to listen to bootlegs of on YouTube.
It is about energy transfer between artist and crowd.
I went to Chicago and Milwaukee.
They were transcendent. The Chicago gig was a PARTY.

To the people who voted poor and who obviously haven't gone to see him: WHERE WERE YOU WHILE WE WERE GETTING HIGH?!

Was fortunate enough to be at the Glasgow and Manchester shows, Glasgow was simply the greatest gig so 10 for that, Manchester the following monday was not quite as good but still comfotably an 8. so easily a 9 for me.

Maybe they just have opinions that differ from yours. Personally, I think Noel's voice has declined somewhat, and that is a crying shame, but it's been coming for years. God knows how he's sounded so good for so long, and in comparison to a lot of ageing rockers out there, Noel is still fantastic. However, I do have one major gripe about his gigs, and that is his band. (well, and his aversion to changing his setlist, but that's a given at this stage...) I've said it before and I shall say it again: his drummer is a plodding pile of blubber that thwacks away at his tubs mercilessly. If he wasn't Paul Stacey's brother, he wouldn't be there. His guitarist seems incapable of even the most simple of guitar solos (and Noel's solos are pretty bloody simple at that!) and is possibly the blandest man I've ever seen - yes, I know you go to see Noel and Noel only, but a shred of charisma (think Gem for instance, for those who saw Beady Eye) wouldn't go amiss. Also, his bassist on backing vox sounds like Simon Le Bon singing 'A View To A Kill' at Live Aid, and should be kept from the mic stand at all times in the future. Get a proper guitarist in and a professional drummer, and I think his gigs would be great. Noel still has plenty to give in a live setting - the songs will always be there, the banter with the crowd seems quite natural to him these days, and for the time being, his pipes are still in decent working order. |
