When Noel started his first Solo Tour 5 years ago he played 11 songs of solo Material, there were complaints too, not everyone can be pleased. Noel has since played over 20 solo songs and gave us a handful of surprises over the years (Lord Don't Slow Me Down, Shout It Out Loud, Angel Child, etc). Your post is correct, he's hardly going to pull new songs out now but as far as I recall (and if wrong forgive me) but all these were on the first tour. The only surprise we got on the last tour was D'yer wanna be a spaceman? And that lasted for 1 gig which pissed me off as the next gig was Clapham where I went and was expecting it and he didn't do it  the only other change I remember last tour was "Mighty I" coming back on the 2nd leg of the tour:D People also need to remember on a solo tour he's going to mixing 3 albums of solo stuff up as well as Oasis, I wouldn't be shocked if only 4 Oasis songs with Masterplan and DLBIA being 2 of them |

Noel really needs to stop with the pathetic "SING! CAN YOU SING?" during DLBIA.  |

When did this forum become the fucking Steve Hoffman forum? I don't remember seeing such levels of complaining and entitlement when I joined and it wasn't that long ago. All we need now is a healthy dose of "get off my lawn"-type snobbery and some pointless Beatles discussion and we got the whole package. What did you expect Noel to play for an audience in which at least half of the people are hoping he'll finish as soon as possible so that they can see U2? I saw him multiple times during the last tour and these are, for good and for bad, the songs people like at gigs. You forget that most of the audience are casual fans who maybe haven't even heard Chasing Yesterday and want a) songs they know (Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall), or b) songs they can move and chug beer down to (Lock All the Doors, The Mexican). It's as simple as that. Step away from those two, and if you have a tough audience they'll freeze (Barcelona 2016 comes to mind). It reminds me of that time Bob Dylan was asked about his thoughts on the people that follow his tours and always take the first row at concets, and he said something along the lines of purposefully avoiding playing for them. He almost sounded contemptuous, but it's easy to see why he would adopt such a stance when one reads the opinions of any artist's hardcore fans. Odd to mention Dylan in this particular discussion given that for a lot of his later touring career setlists changed dramatically over a tour and often night to night were different. The reason being Dylan played for himself not the people out front and so that he didn't become bored, it was a challenge. A lot of artists do become more expansive as they get older when they have a wealth of material behind them to choose from. I think its a shame Noel hasn't been the same at the end of Oasis and with his own solo tours. But that's only for me personally, Noel seems perfectly happy and the tours keep selling out so good luck to him. |

I get what a lot are saying, dropping new material in now would be the wrong thing to do, and I think Liam has done too much new stuff as it can spoil the first impression of the record when it comes out. But when someone almost picked the entire set list in order on here before the first gig of Noel's tour, it's perhaps a tad too predictable.

Bono always had an affection for the Gallaghers even if Liam has been less than complimentary to him.
The setlist is lacking which is unfortunate, but what were you expecting? Noel is comparable to a Catholic school primary teacher, to him, the end all be all is repetition. Because in his mind it breeds consistency and consistency breeds excellence.

I was there last night and I have to say I really enjoyed Noels set. The songs definitely sounded better with Gem and Chris and it was nice to hear Little By Little again. It's only a matter of time now before we get noels new single and then I assume it will be added to the setlist at the U2 gigs. Agreed, he was good and the band was tight. Better sounding with Gem and Chris. |

Setlist aside, which I think was predictable but at the same time I understand he wants to play what he knows and the crowd know as well, is DLBIA slowly becoming bigger than Wonderwall?

But that's only for me personally, Noel seems perfectly happy and the tours keep selling out so good luck to him. Dylan's setlists since October 2013 have been even more static than Noel's. That's almost four years and countless concerts. The biggest change was introducing the Sinatra tunes... only to remove most of them again and go back to the previous setlist. Anyway, this discussion is pretty pointless since this is not Noel's gig. The setlist for the upcoming tour will obviously be different. |

I guess although technically he has dozens of songs to choose from, there're only a handful of them he's confident playing. Bob Dylan insists playing obscure new material in front of audience yelling for "Like a Rolling Stone", Noel's never like that. He's not born for the stage or simply enjoying himself regardless of the audience. He need proper reaction to assure himself.
Agree that the point of a Gallagher's gig is to sing along. But he's been playing HTWA and Talk Tonight to death and didn't touch many No.1 singles. Good songs win you over even on first time listen. I think it's fair to say he's too rooted in his comfort zone and although it's totally understandable, you can't help thinking it's a shame not giving himself a chance. Especially given his "I don't give a fuck" persona he likes playing.

In the UK or Worldwide? World wide, "no." It's not even close. Wonderwall is the song that literally everyone knows how to sing and play. DLBIA isn't as ubiquitous around the world. In the UK? For sure. |

SHOCKER: Same boring As Fuck Setlist. I'm sorry god bless Noel but he's not a front man he needs to reassume his position on the side. At least Liam is mixing his setlist up almost every gig Let's get straight, Oasis weren't a band which changes their setlist. They played same songs over and over night after night and we didn't have a problem with that, did we? Speak for yourself, I got annoyed with the lack of changes to the setlist. |

If Noel is regularly going to be encoring with U2 that's pretty good exposure for him.

Did any of you really think he was going to try out new songs on...U2 fans? Who most likely don't give a shit?

Let's get straight, Oasis weren't a band which changes their setlist. They played same songs over and over night after night and we didn't have a problem with that, did we? Oh yes, many of us did. I did, it was so frustrating! Unlike many of you, I really like that Edge solo on "Don't look back in anger". |

Noel looks like he's taking a dump in his diaper while singing. Cool edge solo. Nice. That's so true during the bridge/chorus of "In the heat of the moment", red face, swollen veins, tense neck muscles, taut posture & all. |

Liam is sounding great but needs a better band.
Noel is sounding not so great but has a great band.
Hmm.
