Yet Another Review: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds In Manchester

You can always tell when a Noel Gallagher record is doing the rounds.

NME’s website is chock-full of ‘stories’ hung on individual quotes from an interview done weeks ago, comment sections are brimming with “hasn’t released anything good since ‘What’s The Story’” and one of music’s fiercest tongues is busy lashing anybody within hearing distance.

Somewhere in the middle of it all tends to lie a bit of music the chart topping “Chasing Yesterday” in this case; backed by a tour a sell out arena one in this case.

I watched one of Noel’s first solo gigs, back in 2011 at the Apollo. The awkwardness was tangible. Content for almost two decades to orchestrate proceedings from the wings while his brother’s ego bathed in the adulation, he was thrust into the spotlight, asked to play the unfamiliar role of frontman. On Monday night at Manchester Arena, he showed it is a role he is becoming increasingly familiar with minus tambourines on heads.

A master of the B-side, “Do The Damage” is given the job of opener backed up by “(Stranded On) The Wrong Beach” and “Everybody’s On The Run” the latter eliciting the kind of mass sing-along you’d expect from an Oasis gig.

Indeed, Oasis classic “Fade Away” does get the same treatment and some, the entire arena matching Noel word for word (everybody that is except the young couple next to me who judging from their expressions throughout must be huge Liam fans). The guy even nipped out during “Champagne Supernova”. Topless barmaids giving out free beer wouldn’t have had me budging from my spot at that point...at least not until after the solo.

The 20-song setlist is split evenly between Noel’s solo records and Oasis, “In The Heat Of The Moment” the first track from his latest record to get an airing, and one that live really jumps up a notch. It’s quickly followed by the thundering Definitely Maybe-era cast off “Lock All The Doors” and “Riverman”.

As news of Man United’s 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Arsenal filtered through, a gleeful Noel dedicated “Dream On” to the United squad, following it up with the excellent “The Dying of the Light”.

“If I had a Gun” comes sandwiched in between “Digsy’s Dinner” and “AKA What A Life”, proof that even nearly two decades on, Gallagher can still pen a belting stomper.

If the chorus of encore curtain raiser “Don’t Look Back In Anger” doesn’t have every single one of your hairs stood on end you’ve either got no hair or you’re deaf.

And so “how do you top that?” asks Noel. Johnny Marr, that’s how. The former Smiths guitarist brought out to lend a live hand on his and Noel’s “Ballad Of The Mighty I” collaboration.

How do you top that? Not sure you can but “The Masterplan” comes pretty darn close.

Should Oasis reform? God yes. Should it be before another Noel Gallagher record? Definitely not.

Noel Gallagher Won't Copy Kanye West

Ahead of his O2 gig tonight, Noel tells XFM that he won't be selling bags of air from his gig like the controversial rapper.

Bags of air, reportedly collected at Kanye West tours, have flooded online auction sites in recent days.

But after joking that it was undoubtedly "hot air", Noel Gallagher has told XFM he won't be following in the footsteps of the rapper.

The gag began when one eBay user posted a joke ad for a bag of air from a Kanye West tour. Although the site took the ad down, more copycat ads have taken its place in recent days.

Noel was joined onstage by Johnny Marr at his Manchester Arena gig last night, with a setlist that included Oasis tracks Champagne Supernova, Don't Look Back In Anger and The Masterplan. Noel plays London's O2 tonight.

Review: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds In Manchester

Many fans will no doubt single out Johnny Marr's appearance on stage alongside Noel Gallagher as the highlight of their night at Manchester arena.

But for anyone who has followed the careers of Oasis - and subsequently Noel - there can be few better live music spectacles than The Masterplan being performed to a hometown crowd.

The title track to an album of B sides good enough to rival anything Oasis or either of the Gallagher brothers have ever released was what the girl stood next to me in the beer queue was looking forward to most.

Privately, I was too. And it didn't disappoint.

I know it is terribly bad form to start a review with the last song of the encore but it was without doubt the highlight, particularly the electric guitar solo in the middle of it.

And therein lies part of the problem for Noel. He has created such a rod for his own back with his back catalogue, it is hard for anything to top it.

But he certainly gives it a good go and a packed Manchester Arena suggested his popularity is far from fading.

Much of the build up was dominated by rumours brother Liam was set to attend the gig and, judging by the amount of pretty green (Liam's fashion label) clobber on show, it seemed many fans had believed the hype. But it turned out to be just that.

When Noel and his High Flying Birds entered the stage, they kicked things off with (Stranded on) the Wrong Beach, from their self-named first album.

I have to begrudgingly admit, it was a little tame.

That was followed by everybody's on the run, a single from the same record.

It took the first Oasis song to really get us going and that was B-side Fade Away. In the background, slides of someone's childhood played as the lyrics 'while we're living, the dreams we had as children fade away' we're sung by Noel and the crowd.

It would be nice to believe they were his, but it didn't seem likely.

Our first taste of new album Chasing Yesterday came in the form of In The Heat of the Moment but it wasn't until songs later we heard the one I had been eagerly awaiting - Riverman.

If you'd closed your eyes during the intro, you'd have been forgiven for thinking Wonderwall was about to be unleashed.

But the true identity of the Weller-esque track was soon revealed and you got the feeling Noel knew it was his best work of late, with his face scrunching as he sang the words "find me the girl who electrifies the storm".

Along the way, we heard The Death of You and Me, from album one, and The Mexican, from NGHFB's latest offering.

The latter when performed live - as it does on the album itself - illustrated Noel's definite lurch away from Oasis towards his own, individual sound

And would we ever have seen Noel doing a 360 spin during a song without his brother looking on and taking the proverbial? Well, we did last night.

Johnny Marr Joins Noel Gallagher On Stage In Manchester

A Smiths legend formed an impromptu Mancunian supergroup as he joined Noel Gallagher on stage at his homecoming show.

Johnny Marr made a surprise appearance to perform alongside his pal at the gig at the arena tonight.

The 51-year-old guitarist, known for his killer riffs, was unveiled as the special guest to a rapturous reception at the end of a night which saw Noel mix songs from his new solo album with a raft of Oasis classics.

However, rumours of an appearance by his brother Liam proved unfounded.

The former frontman sparked a frenzy earlier by Tweeting: “Hometown gig Monday night, keeping it dangerous. LG x”.

However, there were no reported sightings of him at the show.

He did, however, again take to Twitter to express his pleasure at Man United’s FA Cup defeat to Arsenal across town at Old Trafford.

Noel Gallagher Calls Ed Sheeran "A F*cking Dude"

Noel Gallagher has said that Ed Sheeran is the only person to ever tell him they did not want to play a gig for Teenage Cancer Trust.

However, he added that most artists who did not want to take part in the charity event that he curated in 2013 initially said yes, but then got their agents to pull out of the gigs for them. Sheeran then agreed to take part the following year.

"You'll be there on the phone listening to someone blatantly lying to you. People say they can do it and then get their publicist to call up later and say, 'Oh we can't do it now, he thinks his cat's gonna have a stroke that particular afternoon'. You’re there, cajoling, with some cunt who plays a banjo about whether they're gonna turn up," said Gallagher in an interview which features in this week's issue of NME.

Discussing Sheeran, Gallagher commented: "The only one fucking person that has ever ever ever said 'I can't do it, I just got back from Australia I can’t be fucking arsed man, I'm fucked, but I will definitely do it next year' and I crossed his name off the list was Ed Sheeran! He actually called me back, you know what I mean, he said, 'Right I'm ready now, I wanna do it', and I thought, 'You know what, what a fucking dude'."

Noel Gallagher recently jumped to Ed Sheeran's defence after previously criticising the singer, stating "I won't hear a word said against him". Speaking to NME earlier this year, Gallagher remarked that he couldn't live in a world where Ed Sheeran headlines Wembley. But in an interview with Shortlist, the Oasis man revealed he'd had a change of heart about the pop star, mainly because Sheeran followed up on his word to appear at Gallagher's Teenage Cancer Trust concert at the Royal Albert Hall. "The only person that has ever said that and called me back the next year is Ed Sheeran. And I thought, 'You know what, you'll do for me man.'" He added: "He's a good lad and I won't have a word said against him."

Previously asked by NME if he'll be going to Sheeran's Wembley Stadium gigs, which Sheeran offered him tickets to, Gallagher said: "No no, they're for my daughter. She'll be going and drinking his champagne and possibly playing Top Trumps with James Blunt in the dressing room afterwards. I've given her a list of people to insult while she's there."

Noel Gallagher's new album 'Chasing Yesterday' is Number One in the Official Album Chart and has been confirmed as the fastest-selling album of 2015 so far. The album was released last week (March 2). Official Chart Company data reveals that the album had 89,000 combined sales, including 1,700 streams that now count toward the final chart position.

Gallagher is Number One ahead of Sam Smith's 'In The Lonely Hour' and Ed Sheeran's 'X' as well as the albums by George Ezra and Royal Blood.

Is Liam Gallagher Going To See Brother Noel Live In Manchester Tonight?

Tabloid Alert

Oasis fans may want to keep a Beady Eye peeled for Liam Gallagher in the audience at his brother Noel Gallagher's gig at the Manchester Arena tonight.

For Liam has just posted a cryptic message on his Twitter account saying: “Hometown Gig Monday night, Keeping it Dangerous LG x”.

Fans soon began to speculate that the tweet means Liam is heading to watch his big brother when he plays with his new band, High Flying Birds, at the arena tonight.

Others thought it could mean Liam, whose latest band Beady Eye split last year, is planning a surprise secret gig at an intimate venue in Manchester at the same time his brother is playing to some 15,000 fans.

Or, of course, it could be Liam just teasing fans by talking in riddles - as he has been known to do in the past.

Most likely is it’s Liam’s response to Noel reportedly saying earlier this week that it could be dangerous for Liam to come to his gigs - as he’d in all likelihood get mobbed by fans.

Whatever the meaning, at least it appears that the Burnage brothers are finally mending the rift that saw the dramatic split of Oasis back in 2009.

The brothers are back on speaking terms, and Noel told the M.E.N. last week that he would consider an Oasis reunion - if the right offer were made.

He said: “I’d do it in the morning, if somebody puts half a billion pounds in my bank account. That’s not million; billion. Sterling. I’m there.”

But he also talked about enjoying going solo.

“When you’re writing lyrics for someone else to sing, it can be a bit tricky - particularly with Liam because you’d show him lyrics for a song and he’d go, ‘Is this about your ******* bird?’,” he says.

“I’d be like, ‘Let’s have a look ... erm, no. Just pretend it’s about your bird’. Now, with the songs I write, I’m free to get as personal or vague or existential as I like. I’m not a slave to anyone.

Noel Gallagher's: Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere Vol 3: The Good, The Bad And The Bubbly (Part 2)

Noel's back with his award winning tales from the road. Enjoy!

Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere Vol 3: The Good, The Bad And The Bubbly:

So where were we..?

Nottingham I believe. What a night that was. Even the soundcheck was great. Only our third gig and it was soaring...majestic...like an eagle or something!

The crowd were immense. Did I spy a leg bomber out there somewhere? I think I did! Always a welcome sight.

I'm STILL fannying around with the set. Almost there with it now. It's getting better...man!! (Ha-ha!)

Legged it straight off stage for a 4 hour drive up to Glasgow. Mind numbingly boring. It was made barely bearable by the Terry Tibbs Phone-in on Talk Sport. My god it was funny. Get on it if you can, it's fucking insane. Arrived into Glasgow at 3am...

Fuck me I need a haircut (another thing I forgot to do before I came away!). Problem is see, I have Irish hair and as any Irish man will tell you we have hair that doesn't grow in straight lines. Mine grows but doesn't get longer, it gets wider!!!

If I didn't rely on myself so much I'd have fired myself from this tour already... If I don't mention it anymore I might forget about it and let myself off, so let's move on.

The next day I'd agreed to do an in-store record signing thing at HMV in Glasgow...There were people there of all shapes and sizes and...even a few girls...real ones. I did feel a bit like Father Christmas at a grotto somewhere in the 70's.

There were some tears..not mine I might add...

Some guy had gifted me, as some kind of reward for his musical journey since '94, a betting slip in which he'd kindly placed a £3 bet for me on Man City to beat Burnley next Saturday! Let's hope the blues do the business and...well...The Milky Bars will be on me!!(that's a 70's joke there for you).

After signing all sorts of shit for about an hour it's fair to say R-KID has banged out a few cagoules in Glasgow... I might have been the only male in the shop not wearing one!! They do look good though, I must say.

The Hydro is, so my Scottish aftershave drinking pals tell me, a world class venue! I'll let you know in about 2 years, when this tour finishes, if that is indeed true. I'll tell you what is world class though...TRULY world class...is that fucking crowd.

Holy shit-balls... I've seen and done some shit in my time but I'm damned if I can remember anything to match that Saturday night!?! One of THE BEST nights I've ever done, ANYWHERE.

The kind of night you live for... A real privilege to have been there, nevermind actually being onstage. All downhill from that now surely? Saying that, they might have something to say about that in Manchester!

The toe-stub is...and there's no other way of saying this...a cunt. You know 'The Stub'? Of course you do! We've all done it, you know...stumbling round a bedroom minding your own business then all of a sudden...AAAARRRGH YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!!! You stub your toe on one of the bed legs...and whisper silently but very forcefully...'BASTARD!'. Middle toe...left foot...(my favourite actually)...STUBBED... STUBBED JERRY!!!!

It's fucking sore. I have a slight limp. Iree Nancy laughed her beautiful little arse off... it's all bruised and sad looking (my toe NOT her arse!). Good job I'm not known for blaming it on the boogie so to speak... I shan't let it affect my performance.

You currently find me with my foot up in Manchester, and you better be good tonight because the Glasgow massive booed when I suggested tonight might be the only place in Britain that could even compare with Saturday... Just saying.

I must go and literally hop in the shower, but before I do let me thank everyone who has bought my new record, pushing it up to where it belongs...on the topper most of the popper most! FANK YOU!!

ONWARDS.

GD.

PS: Today I will be mostly listening to THE LONELY SURFER by Jack Nitzsche.

Get on it..
