A couple of thoughts now I’ve had a chance to watch it:

As concert films go, this one is incredibly well shot. It looks beautiful and keeps the viewers’ attention without cutting every half-second. The occasional visual interactions between band members captured really humanize the whole thing in a way NG’s live stuff isn’t usually. Noel handing Chris his drumstick was a nice touch.

I mentioned this before somewhere but I’m really enjoying the new Frontman Noel - getting people to sing, clap, etc. is nothing revolutionary but it keeps the shows interesting and makes it look *almost* as if he enjoys being on stage.

But nothing is so perfect etc., so there are a few things I’d change: the mix is good, it’s nice to hear the WBTM tracks with a bit more breathing room than they get on the album. But across the gig as a whole I could have done with slightly less of Mike’s keys and more of Gem’s guitar and Noel’s voice.

Speaking of Noel’s voice, this wasn’t a particularly good gig on that front. His definition of a bad gig is different than Liam’s, certainly, but he’s clearly still finding his way with the new songs, and his voice seemed tired overall.

On the visual front, there were a few moments where the director doesn’t appear to know what’s going on in the song - both sax breaks in Riverman without a single shot of the sax player, for instance. And just as with the audio, I think a few more shots of Gem when he’s doing something interesting would have been welcome.

All in all, an excellent film I look forward to watching again soon.
