Noel may be absent, but so is the chaos of early Oasis, leaving Liam free to get the detail right in a volley of on-point anthems
sits in front of the drum riser, drawing the eye as a giant digital clock counts back the years to 1994. A songwriter of classic pop who died last year at age 94, the US artist seems an unlikely totem for a band –But Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher brought a Bacharach album to the photo shoot for the cover of the band’s debut album, – a photograph fondly recreated in spirit onstage tonight in an attempt to perk up this bland arena space.
The two legendarily volatile Gallaghers remain at loggerheads since their split in 2009, with Noel refusing to participate in this retro lap of honour, despite. Not only that: appetite for the 90s remains at fever pitch as music, fashion – and hopefully, soon, politics – look back at the decade many gen Z-ers and millennials identify as the last time there was any under-recorded, non-socially-mediated fun, or much hope for the future.
In addition to Liam, the loud electric guitars are the night’s star turn. There are three: Bonehead’s, Mike Moore’s and Jay Mehler’s, creating resonant, pile-driving approximations of Indian ragas layered over with tunes that milk-deliverers could whistle, and still do. The less familiar songs – like Cloudburst, or I Will Believe – are instantly located in time and space thanks to the mantric glam drones at their hearts.
