Noel Gallagher was joined by Johnny Marr and Paul Weller on stage at Brixton O2 Academy last night (September 6).
Marr joined the show seven songs in to play guitar on Oasis’ 1995 classic ‘Champagne Supernova’ before the pair performed ‘Ballad Of The Mighty I’, the track Marr guests on for the second Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds album ‘Chasing Yesterday’.
Weller, introduced as “my neighbour” by Gallagher, came on during the encore to play two songs by his old band The Jam, ‘Pretty Green’ and ‘Town Called Malice’.
The show marked the end of the tour for ‘Chasing Yesterday’ and was the first time Gallagher had ever played at the celebrated London venue during his 22-year career.
As well as songs from both High Flying Birds albums, the gig saw Gallagher play Oasis songs ‘Talk Tonight’, ‘D’Yer Wanna Be A Spaceman’, ‘Half The World Away’ and ‘The Masterplan’ before the concert ended with ‘Wonderwall’ and ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’.
Weller had joined Gallagher on stage during his headline set at Festival No 6 at the weekend to play the same two Jam songs. Both he and Marr have regularly joined Gallagher on stage.
Having played 121 shows in support of ‘Chasing Yesterday’, Gallagher is due to continue work on his new album with producer David Holmes. The Oasis documentary Supersonic which features contributions from both Noel and his brother Liam Gallagher is in cinemas from October 14.
