    Great news, the gig was good enough value for €40 but this will up the show a notch too.

    Apparently SeeTickets are arriving this week:D.

    Id say he'll change the setlist as well.

    So far he's added Whatever.

    I don't mind however it changes just so long as Noel keeps all these songs;
    The Death of You and Me
    AKA.... What A Life
    If I Had A Gun
    I Wanna Live In A Dream (In My Record Machine)
    Wonderwall
    Don't Look Back In Anger
    Little by Little
    Its Good (To Be Free)

    I'd like him to add Stop The Clocks but I doubt he will.

    He has said Stop the Clocks sounded sh*t live, plus the complicated backwards guitar solo makes the album version sound near impossible to replicate.

    He always plays Whatever when he's in Japan. I honestly can't see him changing much, i'd love to see A Simple Game of Genius added and The Turning but wait and see.

    Can't wait for the gig. The one in the Olympia was just magic. Do people really still want to hear him play don’t' look back in anger and wonderwall ?

    Personally I could really do without these as they've been done to death and he doesn't even sing them - the crowd do.

    Don't get me wrong, if there played I'm not going to sit down and sulk. I'll join in with everyone else but i'd rather they were replaced with two other songs.

    I see what you mean, DLBIA and WW have been played more times than Noel would care to consider but at least it will save a lot of bitching from the fans who will be seeing Noel live for the first time.

    Good thing with WW is that Liam has always sang it live, I know there's been radio interviews etc with Noel singing the song but at least now most fans will get to hear his version at the shows.

    I'll be happy if he leaves out like The Importance of Being Idle, perhaps Supersonic, but hopefully Little by Little will stay there as it wasn't played at every show on the last two Oasis tours and its still a great tune.

    Noel will probably add songs like The Masterplan and She's Electric because he mentioned them in some interviews.

    Waiting For The Rapture and Cast No Shadow would be good too.

    I reckon we will find out on Feb 13th, that is when his UK arena tour begins.

    NO.

    Mucky Fingers was good last time, more of that kind of thing.

    Sad Song and Listen Up would be good also.
