He's been writing music for 30 years. Best writer of my generation!

[@Greenyandeverygenre]

Who's up there with him? british songwriters? I'd stick Paul Draper up close to him. Noel is more professional than the others, more of a musicians musician if you get me.

[@dan-3268]

Noel hasn't lost it. The voice isn't any different from the recorded tunes, if not better.

[@teckertime]

Only Noel can open a show with a B side. Brilliant....

[@davidoasis1991]

teckertime and finish with one!

[@Francklyynnnn]

The real question is how the hell Do Your Damage only became a B side it could easily be an own single in my opinion...

[@Carlos-ej9hj]

Noel, Noel...

amazing

[@AJLaSaracina]

+Michael Rhomberg The setlist posted in the comments says "the Ballad of the Mighty, I" was played but I don't see it in the time stamps you provided. Was it not played?

[@minimikee]

+AJ LaSaracina Yeah it either wasn't played or it was deleted because it's not on this video.

[@LuisVelezNueve]

It's a fabulous thing to notice that this is a great great set list, plenty of Noel solo work, with just one Oasis classic. That is just an indication of how Noel's solo career stands by itself in such a good quality.

[@maximthefox]

Lets face it, Oasis was pretty much Noel's solo work anyway.

[@Bucboy1001]

This audio is stunning. Well done. Also, this performance is the reason why Oasis won't reform. Noel is on fire at the moment.

[@meanstreak1977]

Bucboy1001 Absolutely! I just saw him in Houston and Dallas two nights in a row, it was fantastic!

[@rkid727]

Was in Dallas too and I can say he sounded amazing. Can't ever see Oasis getting back together. He has it too good now. He's totally loose on stage.

[@Bagpipe13]

Bucboy1001 RIGHT ON THE BUTTON

[@ARIXANDRE]

Bucboy1001 Spot on, mate. If Liam could get an act this tight, he'd forget about a reform as well.

[@herrschnupke4044]

Bucboy1001 He is man!

[@hollywhinney9368]

Me and my brother where sanding outside this gig since we heard he opening chord to 'Do the Damage' and we realised this is where the secret location gig was (We where crossing the road to a restaurant and heard it) My First Noel Gallagher gig and i was outside with closed doors and couldn't see Noel for most. Imagine that a 16 year old and a 12 year old outside in london our own, but who cares, music makes people stand outside to listen to their idol.

[@MCFCRuss]

Holly Whinney I was outside Maine Rd in 96 similar sort of age

[@jprmac1]

I saw Oasis at Slane Castle in 2008 (2009?) with about 80k other people. They were amazing. Must have been one of their last gigs together

[@dunkymacfarlane4117]

[@LouieBM]

Dream on is such an under rated tune, literally one of my favourite tracks from his solo career

[@CharlyBown77]

*Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds one of the best bands of all time, I saw them opening the Joshua Tree of U2 in Mexico and they are really good, Noel Gallagher great musician, great songwriter, great voice, great arrangements, your backing vocals are just amaizing. the sound of the brass section is awesome. Greetings from Mexico*

[@13491Bram]

This is unreal. Lock all the doors. Such a tune live.

If this is what you do in your free time, you need to spread your wings and fly to get a life

[@paulmartin9008]

Wow. Haven't been stirred by a performance this much in a long time. Always been a big Noel fan. Oasis ruled the world when they unleashed their sound upon the world. Now this. Noel's really found his voice. Sounds better than ever and love watching him play guitar. It hangs on him like it's the reason it was invented. And that's taking the quality of the songs for granted. I watch this guy and think if anyone ever sold their soul for the talent here it is... did I mention I'm a big fan.

[@YlmazDALKIRANscallion]

His voice is gorgeous.

[@Dolencd]

Only Noel spends the time in between songs dissing people! What a fucking legend!

[@kristiannielsen7529]

What a performance What an artist What a life

[@BoedoNico]

Insane quality. He is on fire.

[@filliphulles2867]

If Oasis gets back together, they're going to make one of the best albums ever. Both Noel and Liam are on fire.

[@thebatman4279]

I agree. Liam's songwriting has sharpened fantastically and Noel's voice keeps improving.

[@ZorgR]

dream on

[@geoffhughes3988]

@@thebatman4279 ha! I'm sure Noel would have no problem letting his brothers songwriting team write songs on an Oasis album. Get real.

[@rusa8582]

@@fer.rodriguez he write it a few

[@filliphulles2867]

@@fer.rodriguez He cowrite's with songwriters now and musicians. You don't think Liam's been around long enough to have learned how to compose songs? When Oasis was called The Rain, they had original songs that Noel didn't write and they weren't bad. But Noel is the true genius behind Oasis and Liam's voice was and still is iconic. Listen to Listen Up live from Jones Beach, Long Island. If only he kept his raw mid-90s voice.

[@garymclatchie7299]

This is arguably one of Noel's best sets. And it also pretty much says oasis are done. He doesn't need them.

[@lenlagher]

Thanks for the amazing 50fps quality. Definitely the best quality of a Noel Gallagher gig on KZbin!

[@absoluteradio]

Kaben you're very welcome - glad you like it. It was a joy to shoot and a really fantastic gig. Noel and his team are really top people.

[@cardenw]

***** Fantastic recording, I've listened to your show online for a few years now too :) Thanks

I can't think of anyone else who still writes songs like this. If his game was an A+ in 94-95, it's still at least a A-. So god damn consistent!!

I listen to this radio through internet when i'm in the office everyday. I love that music and the style and format of each radio program. Congratulations and thanks for uploading this magnificent gig of my favourite singer Noel Gallagher. Regards from Argentina! :D

[@thebatman4279]

This version of Riverman is bloody amazing. Love the horns!

[@harrisonglen7522]

I miss this Noel; the quality of songs in this Setlist proves his solo career far greater than Liam’s. Makes it more remarkable how Liam smashed 2019 far more than Noel did

[@haakonht]

The dying of the light, such a fucking tune, he's never lost it.

[@herrschnupke4044]

Noels voice sounds powerfull! Great concert! And they left the "na na na" out in "In The Heat Of The Moment" which was a good idea :-)

[@amocorn]

Just saw Noel in Milwaukee. Splendid. Noel sets the standard.

[@dannymann88]

Had the pleasure of being there for this....absolute brilliance...

[@mavisevelyn618]

People who give Noel hate and say that Liam is the truly talented one are just crazy. Liam's voice is good for edgy rock n roll songs, like if noel sang cigarettes and alcohol for example then it wouldn't be as good of a song. but Noel's voice is just wonderful, it's perfect for songs like don't look back in anger and the masterplan which are amazing songs, and i think that songs like wonder wall and stop crying your heart out would be better if noel sang them. also he's the true mastermind behind oasis and i think he gets less credit than he deserves. copy and paste this message on noel related videos if you agree.

[@tmx63]

Tim Smith, possibly the most criminally underrated guitarist of the modern era.

[@edwilkinson4388]

Noel's never sounded better, his voice has aged well, unlike his brother's and countless others
