ML: The standard view in books and profiles is that you were scarred by your childhood and you channeled that into songwriting. Is that how you see it?
NG: I wouldn’t say I was scarred, but everybody’s childhood makes them what they are.
Music was an escape for me. That three minutes was to take me to somewhere else, other than drudgery of cold Northern England in November.

starting a post for crowdsourcing any oasis reunion videos/audio coming out of cardiff tonight. i suspect we will be getting a mess of crappy snippets of audio or video from phones first, maybe a complete song or two, until some pro recorder uploads a complete file. that may take days. i trust there will be several for this show eventually since it’s the first. however if anyone finds a decent livestream up and running we want eyes on that fast. so like or save this post in your drafts now. then any decent links you find share them in the comments (or reblogs). i’ll edit this post to add any links found and build a list. starting below with the l4e thread for the gig since it’s already hopping. adding the reddit one too although it’s already become a sprawling mess.
if you’re lucky enough to have tickets and are in cardiff what are you doing get off your phone and enjoy yourself!

this video from friday’s gig doesn’t have the greatest audio but its on the screens during Hello and Acquiesce close enough it looks like hq footage. towards the end (@07:08) during noel’s second part of acquiesce the camera catches liam with his face points up at the sun but eyes closed like he’s really savoring the moment religious experience style.
because we need each other we believe in one another and i know we’re gonna uncover what’s sleeping in our soul
near the end he raises the maracas to tap his temple like committing it to memory
