Oasis fans have been left impressed with the band’s live shows in Cardiff and Manchester, with one aspect of the performances in particular being praised by those in attendance
Oasis fans have been thrilled by the Gallagher brothers’ reunion tour. Noel and Liam Gallagher have received praise for their first joint performance in 16 years after the rock legends kicked off their comeback tour earlier this month in Cardiff before moving on to Heaton Park in Manchester.
The band’s live gigs have been a hit with the crowd, with gig-goers noting “one thing” keeps getting better each time the brothers take to the stage. A video clip of the Gallaghers performing together at Heaton Park was posted on the Oasis Reddit page, where it sparked a wave of compliments for the reformed group.
A fan pointed out that Noel’s musical skills appear to be sharpening with every show. “Noel’s guitar playing is getting better every night,” the fan said, clearly impressed by the older Gallagher brother.
“After seeing Anais’ [Noel’s daughter] Instagram story of her dad playing the Champagne Supernova solo last night, I couldn’t help but notice how Noel is seemingly getting better.
“Makes a lot of sense, with how little lead guitar he had done since (even before) Oasis originally split up. He definitely seemed a bit out of his element playing solos again, especially at Cardiff night one (makes sense).
“But now he seems to be getting more confident, in his playing and body posture (moving around more), just thought I’d share.”
Other supporters echoed this sentiment, observing that the High Flying Birds frontman appears to have become much more at ease onstage since Oasis’ first gig. One admirer commented: “It’s only been three shows and he already seems more confident than the first night in Cardiff.”
However, not everyone is stunned by Noel Gallagher’s showmanship, with one observer highlighting the ease of his guitar solos.
They wrote: “I see comments saying Noel must of have given his blood, sweat and tears for weeks on end in preparation to play these.
“I can barely play guitar and can play this stuff so I’m sure the guy who composed them and has played them 1000s of times wouldn’t have had too much trouble remembering how they go.”
A defender of Gallagher’s work replied: “Noel’s the first to tell you he’s not a good lead guitarist. But it doesn’t matter because his solos serve the song.”
Another fan added: “Correct, but there is a marked difference in his ease and attitude since the start. Of course there would be. The songs aren’t incredibly difficult, but the end of the tour I think he’ll be flying.”
Meanwhile an attendee of the first gig in Cardiff suggested the ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ craftsman appeared “nervous” during the bands inaugural reunion show.
