NOEL GALLAGHER'S HIGH FLYING BIRDS - Council Skies Tour (Full Show) - TORONTO CANADA - July/03/2023

[@mathewaconley7810]

In my mid 40’s now and was born in Liverpool, England, a stones throw from where Noel grew up in Manchester. I have called Canada my home for almost a decade now and got my Canadian citizenship a few years ago. I have to say, having seen Oasis 4 times live back in the day, It was emotional being there in my current home of Toronto, and just seeing this man walk out in his same unassuming aloof sort of way and then immediately strum his guitar the way he does. It’s so homey and comforting. The whole album is so good and I love it. His best solo album since his first. I’d say this one is my favourite as it is more personal to someone from the northwest of England. Council skies indeed.

[@sesipro]

Thanks for sharing your story. Canada is lucky to have you. There's a recent Jools Holland interview with Noel on YT where he explains how he came up with the album title. I tried to reflect that with my thumbnail. 😎

Taking my 20 yr old musician son to see NG sat night in Boston.... Happy Tears will be shed....

[@TX2_Fanpage_]

I literally cried during live forever

[@johngazzola7293]

To the girl in front of the camera bouncing the whole gig. Thats how you do it. Well done.

[@sesipro]

Yeah that's what I like to see at live shows too. Unfortunately the security guys killed the vibe a bit by telling her and other people just enjoying the music to move out of the aisle back in front of their seats

[@colinsmith5388]

She is a breath of fresh air no phone just having it good on her

[@mordorf]

would love to next to her

[@galagalaxia6286]

yeah that's how everyone should celebrate i mean you paid for the gig so get moving lol

[@Jominycrocket0]

Totally bummer of a “ Concert” by Noel. He played for an hour. Christ Noel if you headline a concert at least break a damn sweat.

[@davidarmitage289]

Thanks so much for posting. Great to go back to that amazing show on a beautiful summer night in TO! I shed tears when Noel played Don’t Look Back in Anger ….brought back so many great memories from that year in the 90’s

[@sesipro]

Thanks for watching and sharing your sentiments of walking down memory lane, great to hear!

[@TobyCurrall]

This has to be one of the albums of the year, noels a legend

[@JC-be4fu]

I'm crushed...couldn't go to the show due to sickness that day. Thanks for posting this video! Noel, PLEASE come back to Toronto for one more show!! PLEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!

[@paulostrihon9030]

This was my first concert since covid ... such a great performance from the Chief!

[@tomipcfto]

Love the visuals playing behind the band. The one for Council Skies is the best. Has that aesthetic similar to “shock of the lightning”’s video.

[@TheBassgoddess]

Thank you for posting this !! Amazing show. I was there up front. It was my first time seeing Noel live. Love the new album.

[@sesipro]

Congrats on the prime seating, hopefully it didn't set you back too much! The new album is 🔥

[@ksjones16]

I was there and I think I can hear myself singing. Thanks for posting

[@sesipro]

Awesome! My pleasure! 🤘

[@sesipro]

EPIC! Good on ya! 😁

[@TX2_Fanpage_]

@@sesiprothanks it was a very special moment for me!!!

[@wmoor086]

Fantastic Canadian crowd! Thanks for breathing some life into this tour Toronto

[@sesipro]

I was impressed by the number of dedicated UK fans who made the journey to see them

[@theselector4733]

​@@sesiproThat's Noel's entourage 😁

[@Atonam_real]

This is splendid! I am fairly young but I wish was there if it was possible.

[@paulwalters7984]

I was right there near where this was filmed…. and it was incredible

[@JC-be4fu]

Lucky you! Tell me, was there a large crowd on the grass as well?

[@sesipro]

Yes the lawns were packed with people!

[@damnyankeefl]

sounds fantastic, gosh I wish I'd seen this show.

[@SlayerVids]

Living rock legend

[@paulostrihon9030]

Thanks for sharing ... I literally had goosebumps when he played Live Forever

[@sesipro]

Thanks for watching, glad it gave you the feels!

[@TX2_Fanpage_]

Same I’m not trying to make this about me but I’m the one he dedicated it to I love Noel so much and hopes he comes to Toronto or Detroit again soon!❤️❤️❤️

[@jimilove7773]

Thanks for the great sound/vision! We missed the Saratoga NY show because some loser called in a bomb threat supposedly. We will be playing this vid tomorrow night in my jam room on a big screen through the pa 1 week to the day! Would have been our 3rd time seeing noel. Keep calm and carry on! Again, thanks a million!

[@sesipro]

What a bummer! Really sorry that happened for your event. Glad my recording could offer a little something to make up for it. ✌️

[@jimilove7773]

@@sesipro Thanks so much we are shooting for the event to be held next Saturday! Cheers, Jimi

Going to see the chief in December can’t wait

[@sesipro]

🎸 rock on! 🎸

[@themightyi67]

@@sesipro praying to god above he plays think of a number

[@sesipro]

Doesn't look like they've played that at all during their NA stops but maybe for the home crowd they'll add that. Regardless, it'll be an epic event no matter what at those bigger stadium venues!

[@themightyi67]

@@sesiprohe’s added the masterplan back to the setlist which wasn’t in when I saw him in Dundee last year that is more than enough 😅

[@Live0nnn]

Going Nowhere had a pedestrian crowd. Probably the best tune on the list. But hey, it's how some people learn the hidden gems, much like Liam now playing Roll It Over. Otherwise, great audience and atmosphere.

[@riffraff8829]

新曲ジワるわぁ✨

[@Justin-cg3cu]

Nice one

[@sesipro]

Thanks for watching

[@tashrif46]

Canadian crowd appreciating the genius more than the snobbish American crowd.

[@sludford]

American crowds for NGHFB have been awful. They sit on their hands until they hear Wonderwall or Don't Look Back in Anger. They don't know the solo material at all.

[@MsFranzg]

Perhaps ppl just needed more time to listen to the record. The crowd in NYC seemed very into it. Also, they only played 1 city in Canada, so very die-hard group. It’s not an opportunity to slag off on Americans. The American journos have been - uncharacteristically - positive in reviewing both the record and gigs. They’ve never been into Oasis or the HFBirds.

[@ChristopherPoitras]

​@@MsFranzgNoel seems to do good in certain sections of the US. Chicago, NYC and Boston seem to be his best. Some places I wonder why he even bothered. Should have only done a small handful of gigs.

[@tashrif46]

Should have gone to the show. I already regret it 🤦🤦🤦

[@galagalaxia6286]

i miss the "old" noel who played the solo patterns himself instead of just the chords

[@yoshimisang3317]

Pleasing Mr.High Flying Birds ..to give me your ..Songlist,🍍🌽🍞🥝🥦'🤔

[@sesipro]

It's already in the description and marked in the video chapters but here you go: SETLIST: 00:00 Pretty Boy 05:12 Council Skies 09:57 We're Gonna Get There in the End 14:10 Open the Door, See What You Find 18:22 Easy Now 22:53 In the Heat of the Moment 26:30 AKA...

[@dutertreangelot9290]

I'm a huge NHFB fan but a 1h05min gig is not very generous my dear Noel. Come on!! Think of a guy you admire, Bruce Springsteen!!

[@sesipro]

Both Garbage and NGHFB had set duration of 1h5m so was exactly equal amount of stage time but yeah a 90min set from each of them would've been more awesome especially with their extensive music catalogs.

[@pastywhite6669]

Agreed. The Stones and U2 perform for almost 2:15 every show. It IS disrespectful.

[@simontunnicliffe2107]

Only 4 songs from his new album? would've thought 5 at least, Think of a Number or Dead to the World should've been on there too. Still looked a great gig though.

[@yobculture]

Noel is smart enough to know that he could never recapture the magic and perfection of the recorded version of “Dead to the World.” That’s why I love Noel, because he knows what he can and can’t do. “Dead to the World” is an absolute masterpiece. He admitted that it’s a hard song to sing and couldn’t do it justice live. He jokingly said people could listen to it in their car after the show on their way home.

[@jamesmcmillan4140]

There’s 5 from the new album… and he said he wouldn’t play dead to the world live as he doesn’t want to ruin it. But yea would be cool if he played think of a number/ love is a rich man more. I reckon he’ll expand the setlist when he gets back to the UK

[@MsFranzg]

Yes to the other replies. As he has often does, he tests out his setlist in the first part of his tour and adjusts based on peoples’ responses. He’ll be touring this for at least the next year. And probably come around again to the US.

[@dfinchermd]

who is the cutout carboard figure, stage left?

[@sesipro]

it's Manchester City FC's manager Pep Guardiola

[@dfinchermd]

@sesipro Thanks, I just saw NGHFB with Garbage in the Washington DC area and noticed him there. Great show.

[@teckertime]

Where is Mike Rowe?

[@sesipro]

He's on the extreme far right of the stage. You can spot him when I zoom out.

[@teckertime]

@@sesipro Thanks

[@Atonam_real]

Question still is, who exactly is Sally? 🤨

[@jimbobkentucky]

Sally Cinnamon

[@sesipro]

There's a theory that Sally could be referring to a girl by the name of Melissa Lim that Noel met at an Oasis SanFran gig in 1994. She seems to have helped Noel through a rough time in his life where he was ready to quit the band but convinced him not to. Here's the video explaining things, pretty interesting stuff: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4eYfp6Mp7echqs

[@sesipro]

@@jimbobkentucky definitely a possibility since The Stone Roses were a big influence on Noel

[@TX2_Fanpage_]

Sally is the song from the stone roses it goes “Sally cinnamon your my world” and we named our cat that too!

[@cromwel1st]

Ringo son on drums ?

[@kypdur4746]

The drummer is Chris Sharrock, from the last version of Oasis and latterly of Beady Eye. You've got 4/6ths (2/3rds for maths lovers) of an Oasis lineup on that stage, and arguably the most talented bits. Roll on Wythenshawe

[@pieterbalk-ht7kq]

Releasing a new album and then playing six Oasis covers…..

[@yoanzapryanov9345]

It is a bit of a stretch to call them covers.

[@MsFranzg]

“Covers”?! They’re his songs. And he knows his audience, is endlessly grateful to them and, as he’s spoken about in many interviews, believes wholeheartedly that as an artist you owe your fans. Notice how he mixes it up tremendously with his setlist…. the guy’s got 30 years worth of tunes for Pete’s sake.

[@madcorndog]

A good chunk of the people there to see him probably just wanna here Oasis stuff.
