Now, most importantly, the Gallaghers have done the once-unthinkable and kissed and made up – they triumphantly arrived on stage hand-in-raised-hand – and they’ve brought a near-perfect set with them. It’s almost exclusively culled from that extraordinary period between 1994 and 1996 when Noel was effortlessly knocking out Oasis B-sides as spectacular as their epic singles, and we get plenty of these and more. Liam, all surly swagger with his zipped-up raincoat and tambourine, sings most of them and has, thankfully, been looking after his voice. He talks a lot of bollocks between songs, but that’s par for the course. Who cares anyway when they range from the irresistible riot of Cigarettes and Alcohol (which comes with the witty warning “Rock’n’roll may seriously damage your health”) to an achingly pretty Whatever or the blissful catharsis of Rock’n’Roll Star.
