U2 & Noel Gallagher Desire, Mumbai 2019-12-15 - U2gigs.com

[@deveshukla]

I'm an Indian and Im sorry that very less people know who noel Gallagher is. They just witnessed a legend and they don't even know it.

[@hootowler6476]

I was screaming my fucking brains out when he entered not gonna lie xD

[@NirvanaaBliss]

i was there and i couldnt believe my eyes..

[@jumpboy29]

No one is better than Noel at backing vocals on a chorus, his story about he & Edge partying with Confidence man was a pretty good one

[@rajeevbat]

Just a gentle reminder at the end... This is still Larry Mullen's band!

[@reach2prasanna]

Haha so true

[@ferpiopiogm]

It's odd seing noel coming up the stage that humble like...I'm gonna play with the band I admire most. I like it

[@rodelnavarro5345]

Wish Noel was also here in Manila.

[@christellechris2408]

Excellent !!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍respect ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️U2❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@reach2prasanna]

One of the biggest surprises I have to say to see Noel. However, I am disappointed he didn't receive the thundering applause he deserves from the crowd. Maybe they were taken completely by surprise and didn't know how to react or most didn't know who he was. For those who don't know who he is, well, he is the biggest rock n roll star of the 90s and 00s from Manchester, UK. The principle songwriter of Oasis. Please check him out.

[@nobrakesukspeedway]

Prasanna J They’ve obviously heard his new guff. I’m surprised he didn’t come out playing the tin opener or something

[@masudtv]

Prasanna J I don't think he and Oasis are that well known in India

[@pratyushpandey6277]

@@masudtv exactly.. Thats what gets me.. Oasis deserves a much bigger fan base.. Bt they aren't knwn here that well.. Explains y oasis never did a gig here

Crazy it was !!! I was there to see the Gods play !!

[@bobbybansal]

Bono tried hard to excite the crowd about Noel Gallagher coming on stage but the crowd is dead as a body, no cheering...probably these U2 fans don’t know who Noel is, what a shame! The legend from Oasis !

[@Xanchs4593]

I can guarantee you the people at the rear end went nuts when Noel came out . It was an outroar. I guess people at the front end were not as knowledgeable so you don't hear much excitement. It would have been better if the two audiences had switched their places.

[@lltaraslebid6047]

@@Xanchs4593 I am not sure about it

[@lltaraslebid6047]

@Bobby B It is not a shame, but of course it is strange that U2 fans don't know who is Noel himself

[@Xanchs4593]

@@lltaraslebid6047 I am sure of it. I was there.

[@lltaraslebid6047]

@@Xanchs4593 ok then :) but why people, who do not know such singer as Sir Noel Gallagher, are standing so close to the stage - that is the question

[@kaustuvdg6198]

Man! How cool this is.. at 3:28 Bono pulls out the wrong harmonica, tosses it away, signals to Larry to keep it going, and they all improvise the rest!

[@thankyou2532]

i didnt know harmonicas sounded that different.

[@kauztuv]

@@thankyou2532 Oh yes they do. There are harmonicas in all kinds of scales. I believe Bono is using a blues harp.

The best drummer in the world theres no one like you.

[@Moderador_el_llanto_del_ánina]

Awsome

[@mickymichaell7590]

No cheers for Gallagher? Mumbai shouldn't host these events. In the North-East, they would've gone crazy!!

[@inderpreetsingh7176]

Trust me, i went hysterical. Crazy. We even started singing don't look back in anger. I wish he had sung one of his.

[@riazrocks.1976]

they should have quoted oasis

[@designyourlifenow]

People were like Noel Who? But then I also think most people did not know that Noel Gallagher tours with U2 and did not even notice the acoustic guitar on stage...

[@kauztuv]

This is audio captured from a phone. People did go wild but you can't hear it here.

[@mythilihariharan676]

Not true! The crowd went nuts when he walked out. I was in the front and couldn't stop screaming cos Noel freaking Gallagher showed up outta nowhere.

[@SaiAbitathaDUCIC]

The Larry Larry chants were truly amazing.

[@pranavchaware]

In my opinion, the reason why Noel didn't receive the expected applaud was that Oasis wasn't played on MTV, Channel V in 90's as much as other pop & rock from US stars. That's why maybe not many people know Oasis & Noel. I'm saying this because I've been listening to english music since 2000

[@キラキラくりくり頭]

Oh yeah, Noel's guitar could be clearly heard and his contribution to the song is amazing.

[@deadfool3344]

Noel's backing vocals are spot on 👍

[@jagnoorsingh2031]

So you're telling me that Noel was in India but didn't sing Don't look back in Anger?

[@mrcowlick7537]

No, I'm telling you that NG was in India and he did one U2 song and dipped

[@Akkul]

Jagnoor Singh Not a big fan of U2’s music but was pretty shocked and excited to hear Noel came to India. At least this opens the door for the High Flying Birds to come and perform.

[@mrcowlick7537]

@@Akkul and by extension RKID LG too

[@jagnoorsingh2031]

@@Akkul Well I don't think India has a lot of people listening Oasis for him or Liam to come and perform here and I won't be surprised if someone ever told me that most of the crowd didn't know who Noel Gallagher is.

[@Xanchs4593]

@@jagnoorsingh2031 From where I was standing a lot of people knew Noel and shouted his name. Btw he did come back for the final song 'One'. Yes we all wanted him to perform don't look back in answer so bad.

[@krishakothuru8721]

why didn't anyone fucking tell me Noel Gallagher was coming to India ?? I would die to breathe the same air as him

[@keithnmick]

Noel flew to Mumbai for this? His tour ended Nov 30

[@deadfool3344]

No he supported U2 throughout their tour.

[@keithnmick]

@@deadfool3344 only for their Australian tour....check his website for a list of recent shows....after AU he played a full length show in Bangkok then went home

[@reach2prasanna]

Also, knowing Noel and his personality, I didn't expect him to play second fiddle to anyone. Now after searching on KZbin, I find Noel has played impromptu with U2 many times before. I think Noel is trying to take his music outside the English speaking countries.

[@celticwarlord4204]

Well considering oasis has a huge following in argentina, japan, and korea.....

[@phisheswonder]

Bono called for that extended outro

[@chuckofalltrades]

Livid that the genius' one (and possibly only ever) appearance in the country is to play rhythm guitar on this track. I thought I was the only one losing my shit when he came on stage. For those who don't know who he is - check out Oasis' discography in full. You'll find at least 25 songs better than the big W (which by itself is not such a bad track, really).

[@eddunne4190]

Fxxking brilliant

[@POSNER001]

lol. what happened to the first harmonica?

[@chriswalton720]

Harmonicas are tuned to specific scales and he grabbed the wrong one for the key they were playing in. A typical harmonica can’t play in any key like a guitar or piano can.

[@chrisbarclay]

Chris Walton true

[@Balfour.]

U2 and Noel having some fun at the other side of the world. Meanwhile salty Liam throwing shit on Twitter.

[@Bob-hq5lj]

At least Liam is still relevant.

[@Balfour.]

@@Bob-hq5lj how?

[@Bob-hq5lj]

@@Balfour. Come on you know.

[@Balfour.]

I mean I'm aware that U2's music turned to shit many years ago and they're milking out and old album. Noel at least put out a couple of relatively successful singles recently, and Liam did what? How is he relevant compared to the others?

[@Bob-hq5lj]

@@Balfour. Liam has had two chart topping solo albums and sold out worldwide concert tours over the last 3 yrs. He has continued to carry the mantle of former Oasis stardom with style while at the same time remaining relevant and exciting to a new generation of musicians and music fans. Noel however has retreated into self indulgent musical subversion and become a mere shadow of his former superstardom and its a pity.

[@makeyourself1988]

Is he still a support act for U2?

[@masudtv]

What happened to the human rights supporting band I used to love? Why are they playing in fascist Modi's India?

[@mrcowlick7537]

For the people, man. For the people. This ain't Modi's India.

[@truelovewontwait]

Really? And they still refused to play all in Indonesia all these years for supposedly humanitarian issue here? Not buying that. With the recent regime change, that reason is not going to stick anymore. But I could be wrong. Maybe Bono loves Bali only.

[@SaiAbitathaDUCIC]

Because Modi is not fascist. Jai Modi! Jai U2! Jai Noel!

[@zoso25]

They actually showed Smriti Irani in their 'successful' women digital montage, so I presume they're aware of BJP and it's leaders... Maybe they were too overawed by the 'exotic' India rather than really get into politically touchy issues.

[@mrgman3229]

Noel has crossed over to the dark side
