Noel Gallagher's Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere (Vol.2) Part Eighty

From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.

Yes comrades. It's been a while I know. Not sure what was said the last time we spoke. Had a bit of much needed time off. It was great to be sat round the house doing fuck all. Good practice for the future. Back in the States for the last leg of this tour. Think I've got maybe 9 gigs left? Not sure.

Seems to be dragging now though. Been on tour with that band Snow Patrol and that young 'un Jake Bugg - who I believe has had a #1 album back home. Big shout to the little 'un! A #1 album at 18 years of age!! Pretty mad eh? I think so anyway.

Been to Portland and Seattle and . . . can't remember where else. I know I'm up in Canada now. Somewhere on the road to Winnipeg. Somewhat predictably it's - and I can't overstate this enough even with big fuck off capital letters - FUCKING FREEZING - and I mean - FREEZING!!!!!

Wolves, polar bears (of which I'm neither), mad men and the military can surely only experience such weather conditions? Oh . . . and penguins of course . . . and Eskimos . . . and Russians.

It's colder than Margaret Thatcher's blood one would imagine.

ONWARDS.

GD.

Jake Bugg On Touring With Noel Gallagher And More

Jake Bugg has said it's been amazing to go on tour with Noel Gallagher - because he'd never even left Britain until this year.

Ex-Oasis star Noel tracked down Jake to be the support act on the European leg of his world tour after watching the then unknown appear on Later... With Jools Holland.

Jake, 18, said: I'd never been out of the UK before this year - and now I've been to Germany five times, and France three times, plus loads of other places.

"It was incredible. We played 8,000-seat venues each night, and everyone came in to watch me.

"It's not like when you support someone in the UK and everyone's in the bar till the main act comes on."


His debut album entered the chart at number one after facing fierce competition from Leona Lewis' third album.

"I didn't think my album would even get in the top 40, to be honest," he said.

"So to hear that I was battling Leona Lewis for number one was pretty mad. I couldn't really ask for any more."

Jake Bugg's eponymous debut album is out now. He begins a UK tour on November 12.

Review: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Snow Patrol And Jake Bugg In Calgary

It’s been a long time since we rock and droned.

Last night’s co-headline blitz from Northern Ireland’s Snow Patrol and veteran Brit-pop ringleader, Noel Gallagher with his High Flying Birds, paired up for the kind of double-bill that rarely rolls into town.

The groups are massive across the pond, but venues the size of the gawd-awful sounding Corral are par for the course in this part of the world. The shame being that if Snow Patrol is your favourite band, well, you’re seeing them in a venue that simply does nothing but take away from the experience. The Jube, on the other hand, would have been perfect. But what do we know?

In any case, the stark contrast and bright spots for both Snow Patrol and NGHFB were still welcome respites from winter nights.

On a stage lit with colourful floating sharpie lights and a backdrop featuring a variety of animated images, singer and frontman Gary Lightbody led Snow Patrol through a balanced set highlighting last year’s Fallen Empires album.

Following an instrumental mix of Berlin, Lightbody showed his mettle through Chocolate from Final Straw (some would say the group’s finest hour), Take Back The City, Hands Open and Crack The Shutters.

It’s easy to complain of same-iness through the group’s, frankly, patented brand of swirling soundscapes, but, indeed, through six albums Snow Patrol have created a “sound” for themselves. Derivative, perhaps, but you know it’s them.

The group’s main set had yet to conclude at press time, but the group has been hauling out heavy hitters such as Dark Roman Wine, Chasing Cars, Open Your Eyes and Just Say Yes most nights of the current North American tour.

The return of Noel Gallagher was hotly anticipated by most of the 2,500 in attendance at the Corral — and why wouldn’t it be?

The luxury of hindsight was never required to fully understand that he was the heart, soul, brains and creative force behind Oasis.

Sure, he’s a crabby bastard (almost charmingly so) but he’s a ridiculously talented crabby bastard.

The loudest cheers of the night may have been reserved for a number of his former band’s reworked and stripped down covers, but material from last year’s self-titled debut shone equally as bright.

Opening with the Oasis nugget (It’s Good) To Be Free, Gallagher and his mates immediately segued into the NGHFB album opener Everybody’s On The Run to raucous applause and the anticipation of when he might speak ...

“Good evening — hullo,” he began, before carrying on a conversation with one fan near the front of the stage.

“Do I know you? Yah, I know you! Do you live here now? No? Wot’s that? Where? Vagina? Haha, don’t we all?”

At least one overly chatty Saskatchewan fan notwithstanding, Gallagher seemed to be having a good time with the Calgary crowd through skin-tight interpretations of Dream On and If I Had A Gun. Later Gallagher gave his five-piece band a break, holding the spotlight himself through a gorgeously sparse acoustic version of the Oasis monster Supersonic.

Willing to give just enough to the old fans while raking in the new, he ended beautifully with Don’t Look Back In Anger.

Earlier, 18-year-old fellow Brit Jake Bugg opened the evening with a short, tight set for the sparsely gathered masses.

The influence of, er, Oasis can be heard immediately, but standing on stage armed with only a guitar and mic, the kid showed some serious chutzpah through tunes such as Two Fingers, Someone Told Me, Country Song and Note To Self.

Bugg’s self-titled major label debut came out last week and we should all be paying attention. The kid can play guitar like a mofo, sing … and he writes his own songs. Yes, Jake Bugg is the anti-Bieber.

Another On This Day In Oasis History...

On October 29th 2002, Noel Gallagher played an acoustic set set at the Fairplay charity gig at London's Astoria to raise money for the Make Trade Fair campaign.

Below is the NME.COM's review of the night, and a number of videos.

NOEL GALLAGHER and CHRIS MARTIN teamed up to perform a cover of Smiths' 'STOP ME IF YOU THINK YOU'VE HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE', as part of an amazing night of collaborations at the LONDON ASTORIA.

They were then joined by Ms Dynamite for a cover of [/a]'s 'Three Little Birds', and her own songs 'It Takes More' and 'Dy-Na-Mi-Tee'.

She was then replaced by Noel, who performed a duet of Coldplay's hit single 'Yellow', and Oasis' 'Live Forever'. During the duets, Martin appeared overcome, telling the audience that it was one of the best moments of his life. Their set also included a cover of [a]' 'Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before', a song that originally featured on the legendary Manchester group's 1987 album, 'Strangeways, Here We Come'.

Noel Gallagher's set ran:
'Talk Tonight'

On This Day In Oasis History...

Lord Don't Slow Me Down is a rockumentary film, looking back on British band Oasis' Don't Believe the Truth world tour which took place from May 2005 to March 2006. The film is directed by Baillie Walsh. It went platinum in the UK. The DVD was released on October 29th 2007.







Pre-release
A handful of fans-only private screenings took place around the world with the world premiere of the film at the Directors Guild Theater in New York City on November 4, 2006 as part of the CMJ Film Festival. The UK television premiere was on Channel 4 on November 19, at 11:50pm, although it was a heavily edited version with approximately 40 minutes cut from the original 95 minute version. The film was unveiled to coincide with Oasis' compilation album Stop the Clocks, released on November 20, 2006. A preview of the film was included on the Let There Be Love DVD single, released in November 2005.

The film features a new Oasis song also called "Lord Don't Slow Me Down", written by Noel Gallagher and recorded during the Don't Believe the Truth sessions, Gallagher described it as being "one of the best things, like The Who, The Yardbirds and the Jeff Beck Group combined, and it's got two drum solos on it!". He has also said that his girlfriend thought it was the only Oasis song you could dance to. The song was left off Don't Believe the Truth because Gallagher felt that including it would have meant he'd have been singing too many songs on the record. Italian footballer Alessandro Del Piero also appears in the video signing a shirt for noel.




















The DVD set contents:

Disc One:
Documentary tour film Lord Don’t Slow Me Down in stereo and surround sound.
Bonus audio commentary featuring the members of the band.

Bid For A Signed Guitar By Former Members Of Oasis And More

A guitar signed by some legendary figures from the Manchester music scene is to be auctioned for charity.

Pop fans will get the chance to bid for the instrument - signed by everyone from The Stone Roses and Noel and Liam Gallager to Elbow and Peter Hook - on e-Bay.

The man behind the project is Altrincham resident Adam Masters who hopes the piece will fetch “at least four figures” for the three respective good causes it’s being auctioned for.

Adam said the money raised will be spent at Francis House Children’s Hospice in Didsbury and Claire House Children’s Hospice in Liverpool - via the organisation Children’s Hospice Arts (Chart UK).

Adam said the auction will run for 10 days from November 1 and he said the item is a “must have” for all music fans.

He said: “I’d seen an article in a guitar magazine - Bryan Adams of all people had done a similar thing with artists like Led Zeppelin and Sir Paul McCartney and The Who. It went for some obscene amount of money. i just thought what’d be really good would be if someone did one for the Manchester bands. We’re the musical hub of the UK.”

The third good cause will be chosen by a mutual friend of Adam and Suzanne whose daughter Lucy died - the guitar is dedicated to her.

Anyone interested in finding out more about the auction should visit here.

Review: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds And Snow Patrol at Rogers Arena

Snow Patrol/Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds

Roger's Arena

Thursday Night

Noel Gallagher might have told NME magazine in a newly released interview that he doesn’t hang out with musicians because they’re f------ idiots, but that didn’t stop him from joining Snow Patrol for the North American leg of their Fallen Empires tour.

The former Oasis guitarist/songwriter and his new band Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds took to the stage with a tight bluesy cover of Oasis’s (It’s Good) To Be Free.

Most of their set was a tidy mix of Oasis covers with a bluesier edge and Gallagher laying somewhat off that nasal falsetto, and a few more tracks from the first NGHFB album.

Gallagher took a moment mid-set to playfully insult some guys up front who were shouting at him. “It’s whose birthday?” he asked. “I don’t give a f---.”

Then after chiding another audience member for bringing a small child into his swear zone, he went into a stripped-down version of the Oasis super-hit Supersonic.

In the years since Oasis collapsed under the weight of brotherly strife, the elder Gallagher has become the grumpy uncle of Brit pop, his curmudgeonly pronouncements no longer particularly shocking — almost charming.

NGHFB is a bit moodier than Oasis, touched with Mikey Rowe’s catchily dystopian keyboard flourishes and Russell Pritchard stepping heavier on the bass. It lacks Liam’s breathtaking disorder but it isn’t, ultimately, that different from its predecessor. Does it have to be? Wouldn’t it be OK for Noel Gallagher to produce more or less the same work, performed with precision indefinitely?

Not to disappoint the fans, they finished with a rendition of Don’t Look Back in Anger that had the sparsely populated stadium standing and singing along.

Co-headliners Snow Patrol took the stage to a dark instrumental remix of Berlin from the Fallen Empires album that gave its name to the tour. An animated sphere projected onto white screens at the back of the stage promised a stark contrast to NGHFB’s low-fi show.

Lit with floating lights, the five-piece from Northern Ireland opened with Chocolate from their 2004 breakthrough album, Final Straw. Where Gallagher brought bravado, frontman Gary Lightbody opened with a self-effacing, “You all right, everybody?” Bouncing around the stage, he eased into the vocal cartwheels he’s known for with Take Back the City from 2008’s A Hundred Million Suns.

He then stopped to thank opener Jack Bugg and his co-headliner at length. As Lightbody leaned in to whisper a secret proposal to the audience, it was clear that Snow Patrol had a different plan for the evening.

Noel Gallagher Is a Sole Model

Noel Gallagher keeps his favourite trainers as sharp as his tunes.

The 45-year-old has donated a pair to shoe site javari.co.uk’s trainer exhibition at London’s Covent Garden Piazza, running until Sunday.

Noel said: “I tend not to wear my favourite trainers.

“I know it’s nerdy but I tend to just look at them now and again then stick ’em back in the box, then they’re always brand new aren’t they?”

Bless him.

Beyoncé, 31, Jay-Z, 42, and Mo Farah, 29, have also donated footwear.
