Oasis
The Black Keys
Noel Gallagher linked past and present during a 90 minute set at Dublin's 3Arena last night (March 4).
Ireland's largest indoor music venue saw Gallagher and his High Flying Birds playing the same set list as they had 24-hours earlier at Belfast's Odyssey Arena, mixing a handful of early Oasis numbers with tracks from the singer and guitarist's two solo albums.
Support came from Black Rivers, who performed a number of songs from their recently-released self-titled debut LP, including 'The Forest' and 'The Ship'. While the crowd remained mostly static throughout, they did perk up slightly when the band which consists of former Doves members Jez and Andy Williams played two tracks originally recorded by their previous group, 'Rise' and 'Black and White Town'.
"Let's cheer up with 'Black and White Town', a good song," quipped Jez in response to the rather muted crowd. But they were only here to see one man, and directly following the Black Rivers' set, Judy Henske's 1963 track 'High Flying Bird' was played into the venue as though to signal Noel and his band's impending arrival.
Arriving onstage at 9pm with his band and a ten-member choir, which sat directly behind the group facing the crowd, Gallagher opened with two tracks from first solo record 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds'. '(Stranded On) The Wrong Beach' and 'Everybody's on the Run' were followed by the first Oasis track of the night, a more acoustic version of 'Definitely Maybe'-era B-side 'Fade Away' the track's wistful tone punctuated here by a series of nostalgic photographs that were projected behind the group.
"What about you Dublin?" Gallagher asked the packed venue. "I don't say this many places, but it's truly great to be back. Thank you very much."
Three tracks from new album 'Chasing Yesterday' followed as the band played 'In the Heat of the Moment', 'Lock All the Doors' and 'Riverman'. Gallagher dedicated 'Lock All The Doors' to "my former right-hand man Bonehead who's out there somewhere" a nod to Oasis founding member Paul Arthurs and introduced a three-piece brass section for 'Riverman'.
"This song contains a saxophone solo. Do not be alarmed," he joked.
Two more Noel solo numbers followed before the crowd were invited to sing along to Oasis single 'Champagne Supernova', which they happily did. "I started playing this tune one day in rehearsals and everyone joined in," revealed Gallagher before opening the track on his acoustic guitar.
While the choir departed the stage after 'Champagne Supernova' (the only track they'd actually been deployed on), the brass section returned for 'Dream On', and there was an amusing moment when an assistant attempted to hand Gallagher the wrong guitar before 'The Dying Of The Light'. "You just can't get the staff," he laughed.
Noel later played back-to-back Oasis tracks a rocking version of 'Shout It Out Loud' and 'Digsy's Dinner' before closing with his new album's final track, 'Ballad of a Mighty I'.
The band re-emerged, however, for a four track encore. 'Alone on the Rope' was followed by a stripped down version of 'Don't Look Back In Anger', which sparked another massive sing along between band and crowd. 'AKA... What a Life!' and Oasis anthem 'The Masterplan' closed the show.
Although 'Chasing Yesterday' was only released on Monday, earlier this week it was reported that Gallagher was already halfway through making his third solo record.

Radiohead
Johnny Marr has been asked in an interview with musicradar.com is there a guitar he regrets letting go?.
He said "[Laughs] That's a tricky one. Noel Gallagher's got my black Les Paul that I used on the album The Queen Is Dead. But he's a good boy, so I'll let it go. There's another answer to the Noel thing: I was drinking a lot in those days! But I like to help other musicians out.
"I know that I got a lot of helping hands when I was starting out. Some people were very generous to me; without them, I wouldn't have gotten to where I am. What goes around comes around. With Noel, the guitars went to a really good home. He wrote some great stuff with them, so it all worked out.
"I've given quite a few away over the years. I gave one to Chrissie Hynde, and Bernard Butler has my ES-335 12-string that I used on Strangeways, Here We Come and with the Talking Heads. I've given [The The singer- songwriter] Matt Johnson a guitar, too.
"I've been very happy to hang out with the Radiohead guys, and I loaned them guitars for In Rainbows. You recognise kindred spirits. I'm proud of that kind of thing."

Noel Gallagher has been speaking about Johnny Squire joining Oasis onstage at Knebworth in 1996.
He told the current issue of the NME "If Oasis ever wanted a guest, it was always down to me to ask... because if Liam's asking it sounds like, "You gonna play with us or what, you c*nt?" So I'd only ask people I like. Anyway when John Squire came on at Knebworth [to play 'Champagne Supernova'] he had flu, so stayed in the tour bus all weekend."
He added" He's an enigma and just kind of floated on, did his thing and came off again. I don't think he'd ever played that loud live. He brought this little amp with him, and when he came onstage he just stood here, turned to me and went 'f*cking hell'".

Noel Gallagher has said Kanye West is a f*cking dumbass in the current issue of the NME.
He said "I read in the papers this morning that he got onstage at the Grammys, saying to Beck 'You should respect artistry and give Beyonce that award.' That c*nt needs to look up the description of the word 'artistry'. If Beck the player of 14 instruments, is not an artist, then f*ck me. Kanye's a f*cking dumbass."
He added "His interview with Zane Lowe a few years ago was f*cking priceless, but he does have this thing where he thinks he runs the music business. Imagine if he'd got up at the Brits in the 90s. I'd Have knocked him out."

Noel Gallagher has blamed his brother Liam's beard for Oasis not cracking America.
He told the current issue of the NME "He's had some bizarre looks, but the best thing about Liam is he truly doesn't give a f*ck. We used to walk into rehersals and we'd look at him and be like 'Oh my god, wow, Ok, Ok, alright, that's bizarre', but yeah he's had some cracking hairstyles. Saying that, though, I've had the same hairstyle since 1994. At least the lads pushing it forward. He's got a beard at the moment? I often blame the beard for us not really cracking America".

I don't know anyone who's got his phone number. The one he gave me he never answers. He lives in a big stately home and I imagine he's just stoned thinking "What is that f*cking noise?". That 'United Nations Of Sound' record was a f*cking great record. I should make a record with him.
When asked "Would that upset Liam?" Noel replied "Oh, that would be war. The fact you've now put that in my head means I'm definitely going to follow that through. Hopefully he might give himself a black eye".
