Liam Gallagher Makes First Live Appearance Since Announcing The End Of Beady Eye

No comments













He appeared with The Who Band in London alongside Eddie Vedder, Ricky Wilson and Wilko Johnson

Liam Gallagher has made his first live appearance since announcing the split of Beady Eye.

Gallagher appeared at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire earlier this evening (November 11) as part of the The Who Hits 50 tribute night in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust, singing The Who's 'My Generation'. Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder also appeared at the event, which saw an all star cast singing songs by The Who of their chosing. Vedder sang 'Naked Eye', 'Won't Get Fooled Again' and lead all the performers - Gallagher not included - in an encore of 'Listening To You'.

Other artists to perform with the house band included Wilko Johnson, Kaiser Chiefs' Ricky Wilson, Geddy Lee of Rush, The Strypes, Tom Odell, Amy Macdonald, Andy Burrows and Rizzle Kicks. Ricky Wilson was joined by Phil Daniels, the star of the 1979 film Quadrophenia for 'Bell Boy', which was originally released in 1973.

The Who Band featured Simon Townshend, Pino Palladino, Billy Nicholls, Frank Simes, Loren Gold, John Coury and drummer Zak Starkey, who played with Liam Gallagher in Oasis. At the beginning of the evening Daltrey explained that his bandmate Pete Townshend was not present as he was "at home looking after the dogs. I think he'd rather do anything than hear his songs played back to him! He doesn't like playing them himself!"

Roger Daltrey also performed two of his own songs with the band, stepping in to sing 'Substitute' when the song's guest vocalist for the night - Manic Street Preachers' James Dean Bradfield - fell ill. Daltrey finished the night with 'Young Man Blues'.

'The Kids Are Alright' was performed by Wilko Johnson and The Strypes, while Def Leppard's Joe Elliott sang 'Love Reign O'er Me' and Rush's Geddy Lee headed up 'The Seeker', flying in especially for the performance from Canada. Scroll down for a full list of performers and the songs they played.

The evening also featured video tributes to The Who and Teenage Cancer Trust from Paul McCartney and Iggy Pop as well as performances from comedians Johnny Vegas and Rich Hall, and an emotional short film about the work of the charity by Shane Meadows. The evening was compered by BBC Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans.

The evening's setlist was:

'Can't Explain' - Andy Burrows
'The Kids Are Alright' - Wilko Johnson + The Strypes

Kaiser Chiefs Andrew White Wants To Poke Noel Gallagher In The Eye

No comments
















Kaiser Chiefs are breakfasting in West London and attempting to make sense of the latest attack on them by Noel Gallagher. Having previously dismissed the Leeds five-piece as ‘indie rubbish’, Gallagher has now threatened: ‘If I’m at a celebrity football match and I’m up against somebody from Kaiser Chiefs then they’re going to hospital and that’s the end of that.’

When asked how he would react if Gallagher walked into the room right now, Andrew ‘Whitey’ White, the band’s lead guitarist, says, ‘I think that I would poke him in the eye.’

Lead singer Ricky Wilson is more relaxed. ‘You’ve got to hand it to Noel,’ he says. ‘He is a genius at getting people talking about him.’

Nick Hodgson, drummer and chief songwriter, nods. ‘I don’t think it’s worth getting riled about,’ he says.

‘Every time Noel puts out a record he has a rant at some band. With his last few records it happens to be us in the firing line. I just see it as a bit of sport. I’ve learned to enjoy all the abuse that’s levelled at us. We should be used to it by now.’

Taking their name from a South African football club, Kaiser Chiefs made it big in 2005 – but had already been together seven years. Their album, Employment, spawned major hits in I Predict A Riot and Modern Way. Their follow-up, Yours Truly, Angry Mob, gave them their first No 1 in Ruby and a No 2 with The Angry Mob.

Their recent third album, Off With Their Heads, is another triumph, shot through with the Kaisers’ irrepressible melody and wit. Though Noel Gallagher might well take issue with that...

There’s a widespread belief that musicians lie about in bed all day, but nothing could be further from the truth. If you’re touring there’s always an early flight to catch. There’s nothing I hate more than an early start. I was saying that to Liam Gallagher once and he said to me, ‘I don’t mind the early mornings and I don’t mind the long nights. It’s the afternoons I hate.’ Maybe he’s referring to the moment when the hangover kicks in.
