Oasis!!

Serious question…what’s Liam going to do, when Noel is singing and playing the good songs…?

Will he join in or just stand around awkwardly? Maybe he will do a Bez and get the maraccas and tamborines out?

Errrr – Liam sings pretty much every Oasis song. Isn’t it basically just Don’t Look Back in Anger and Lidl by Lidl that Noel sings (of the more well known stuff?

Liam sings pretty much every Oasis song

From memory, Whatever and Acquiesce are both Noel vocals, there are definitely others. Liam will do what he always did: swagger offstage and snort a few lines 🙂

Oh yeah – of course their most well known song – Wonderwall. God, who cares if they ever hear that again, really ?! lol!

Was originally going to apply for tickets but glad I didn’t.

Now I’ve just got 5 nights of disruption and the lingering stench of lager piss in the streets to look forward to.

Whatever was sung by Liam originally but I put prefer when Noel sings it in A rather than G:

You decide, I’ve chosen performances that are both pretty good.

I have found a list…

NOEL/OASIS STUDIO TRACKS

The following sets contain those Oasis tracks which had Noel on lead vocals on their main studio versions:

ALBUM TRACKS

1. Don’t Look Back In Anger

2. Magic Pie

3. Where Did It All Go Wrong?

4. Sunday Morning Call

5. Force of Nature

6. Little By Little

7. She Is Love

8. Mucky Fingers

9. The Importance of Being Idle

10. Part Of The Queue

11. Waiting For The Rapture

12. (Get Off Your) High Horse Lady

13. Falling Down

So only ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ from that list that I would suspect will make it’s way onto the set-list for the upcoming tour.

“Half the World Away” is also sung by Noel.

True, but it isn’t an album track, just like Masterplan. My original response was in relation to the suggestion that Liam won’t be doing much singing (just doing a Bez), but I was simply trying to point out that he is the primary vocalist. When I saw them, everyone pissed off to the bar when Noel started singing :O

It’s a big Oasis tune though.

But I agree Liam is the lead singer. Noel is rolled out for the odd song in much the same way as Brian May and John Taylor where in Queen.

If Noel sings DLBIA will he do it in C like the original or B as he does with the high flying birds? Better in B IMO which means down tuning the guitar a step or capo 4 (IIRC) and changing the chords.

When Noel does Oasis songs with the High Flying Birds there’s much more feel to the songs than when Liam sings them, you can tell Noel wrote them and sings from the heart. He’ll sing soft and loud as appropriate and make sublte changes of voice to sound happy or sad or angry. He sometimes changes the key to suit his current voice such as DLBIA in B and Whatever in A. In fact having got used to the newer versions the originals sound flat and not just because they’re down a step.

What will be the Encore do we think?

For the rest of us… Edukator prefers Noel on vocals.

Yeah, this amused me. Noel wonders what’s going on then takes over and gets into it:

More Oasis dates announced. Who would have thought it? There will be some unhappy people who paid £500 for standing tickets

Only 2 dates so far but…..

But…..not on general sale. Only those who were thrown out of the queue mistakenly or got the 504 error

I wonder what random prices these will sell for then.

The whole pricing strategy is a bloody joke.

I wish I could say more but I’ll get into trouble.

Ticketmaster do as they’re told and let’s just say, “dynamic” is so very true. Lots of people behind the scenes during these sales, being told what to do, in the moment.

I’ll bow out now or I could be unemployed and on a plane back to Blighty.

This is bloody shocking. Ticketmaster just has a monopoly on everything to do with live music. Oasis left the decision on ticket pricing to their promoters, but their promoters are “Ticketmaster”…..

Only if you want to see big acts. I’ve probably been to 60ish gigs this year and haven’t had anything to do with Ticketmaster. They can still **** off though!

Damn right.  Best to book direct if you can.

And we’re away.

The UK competition regulator has launched an investigation into the sales of Oasis ticket sales, including how “dynamic pricing” was used.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is investigating whether ticket selling platform Ticketmaster breached consumer protection law.

The pricing was decided by Band and there Management.
