The high priest of rock and roll stepped out with nothing to prove...and a whole lot to offer as a solo artist.
It was an immaculate set of Oasis classics and tunes from the Birds’ self-titled new album, delivered with affection and expert composure.
Opening with Oasis’s much-loved B-side To Be Free, punters knew they were in for a feast.
Haunting solo ballad If I Had A Gun already caused terrace-style chanting that Noel has become accustomed to over the years.
He ditched the band for an eerie Wonderwall that mashed its old swagger with a newfound calm, before the lads came back for something fresh – dancey and energetic current single AKA What A Life.
Don’t Look Back In Anger was a fitting sublime finale.
Noel’s said his band name – an ever-changing cast of gifted mates – is basically a joke.
But those Birds are certainly soaring.
