The rumours are that a new album is indeed on the cards! 

 

 

They've surely exhausted pillaging the complete canon of Messrs Lennon and McCartney by now?

The Mad Fer It Frog Chorus will be next 🐸

I'm just chuffed for my friend Christian Madden who's playing keys. I've known him for nearly 30 years and we've done countless gigs together in numerous guises, from when he was just a lad. He's the most down to earth and honest Lancashire bloke you would ever wish to meet. I'm very proud of him tonight.

One small mercy. At least there's no talk of a new album.

No it`s just a cash grab to pay for Noel`s no doubt very expensive divorce. Not knocking him by the way, I like Oasis and Noel`s solo stuff but sod paying that kind of money to see any band.

His Substack is an essential read for me every Saturday morning.

 

Thrilled he's getting what I hope is a good payday here.

The DVD and live CD should net him a bit.

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

I've only seen bits on You Tube, but it's a good set. It will be interesting to see what changes (if any) take place over the dates of the tour.

I’m a massive earlies fan. They were always amazimg live  and the first album should have been huge.

The radio this morning seemed to suggest they opened with Gary Glitters brilliant 'Good To Be Back'? Odd, seeing how opinionated they are.

The song is called Hello, it's the first song on their second album, and briefly pulls a line from the Glitter song.

[Supernaut]

Oasis come out in support of Gary Glitter! Shocker! 
 

Why do conspiracy nuts rule the web nowadays? Get back to the pub corner where you belong. 👍🏻

[Doctor J]

I heard they order a lot of pizza. Coincidence? 🤔

[ian61]

God knows what I heard then cause the clip defo sounded like a live band on a big stage singing the GG tune and it sounded nothing like Hello. More radio trickery it seems.

[Doctor J]

Try listening 2 minutes 20 seconds into it, perhaps.

[PaulWarning]

I see there's a predictable storm about Gary Glitter getting a royalty payment for Hello, but it does seem the obvious song to start with, but as Glitter is bankrupt maybe his victims (creditors) will get it?

edit, anyway he's still in jail so won't do him much good, Mike Leander will be pleased though

Well I think it’s fair to say the doubters were wrong and that that audience absolutely loved it. 
 

Just my humble opinion but in the mid nineties they made playing guitars cool again and I’m grateful for that as I bought their first two albums, bought a nice fender strat with a work bonus and started playing again which led me to taking up bass again and playing live in several bands which had always been an ambition. 
 

They are making a lot of people happy at this moment when the rest of the world is a bit of a sh*t show 

 

PS My 23 year old daughter and boyfriend have tickets for London. She wasn’t even born during their heyday.

Unlike other people they ripped off were influenced by, Glitter was given a writing credit. But he transferred outright ownership of his music when he sold the rights in 1997.

Did they close with How's About That Then?

Did anybody really suggest for a second it was going to be a bomb?

 

They could have come out and farted three blind mice to rapturous applause but both the Noel and Liam bands are, at bare minimum, stadium-level outfits and these are songs they've been playing for decades so I'm not surprised they sound great. I'd probably manage to do some vocal warm-ups with 50m on the table too. 

[AndyTravis]

Everything I’ve seen suggests a fairly polished performance with good amounts of energy etc,

 

Nice to see Bonehead bashing out the Barre chords.

 

Shame I didn’t get tickets, but will be listening intently on Saturday next week as Heaton Park is about a mile from my house…

Any clues yet to what basses Andy Bell is playing on these gigs?

He used to be fond of old Burns and Eko basses, as well as sometimes playing a Fender P.

From the limited number of non-Liam-and-Noel pics I've seen of the Cardiff show, he was playing his black Burns Bison.

Yes. Many people were suggesting there were clauses written into contracts in the event of Liam and Noel having a bust up before the tour was done.
