Oasis skip huge song at Murrayfield despite Noel saying it's 'one of the best I've written'
Oasis played two incredible sell out gigs at Murrayfield Stadium this weekend which came as their first Scottish gig in 16 years. The Gallagher brothers took to the stage in the Capital to crowds of around 135,000 across Friday and Saturday evening and are set to finish their three night run in Scotland on Tuesday August 12.
The Manchester based band have several ties to Scotland after first being 'discovered' at King Tuts in Glasgow and playing iconic gigs such as their Loch Lomond performance in 1996. Despite this, Noel Gallagher has still made eyebrow raising comments about Scotland as he previously branded it a 'third world country' during a now resolved feud with Lewis Capaldi.
However, Liam and Noel, who finally put their long-standing rift to bed after a decade and a half last year, appeared to be having the time of their life on stage. Oasis played many of their iconic fan favourite hits, including Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Slide Away and Live Forever while each gig ended with Champagne Supernova and a firework display.
The band played 23 of their hits to fans but a few of them were noticeably missing from the setlist - including one which Noel Gallagher previously said was one of the best songs he's ever written. A notable tune that was absent from their performance was Stop Crying Your Heart Out (2002) as well as their fourth number one single, All Around The World, which was released in 1998.
Taken from their third album, Be Here Now, the song is nine minutes long, although a shorter version of under five was released for the radio.
The two other singles from Be Here Now - D'You Known What I Mean and Stand By Me - have been played during the concerts.
While other number-one singles like The Importance of Being Idle have also not been featured, Noel once said that All Around the World was one of the best songs he'd ever written.
He wrote it before the band became a global sensation but delayed its release as he wanted to do the production justice.
Noel even compared it to the The Beatles' Hey Jude, which is widely regarded as one of the greatest songs of all time.
Speaking at the time of its release, he said: "...the longer the better as far as I'm concerned. If it's good. I can see what people are going to say, but f**k 'em, basically.
"The lyrics are teeny-poppy. But there are three key changes towards the end. Imagine how much better Hey Jude would have been with three key changes towards the end."
The famous track also features backing vocals from Richard Ashcroft, the former Verve frontman who is the support act for Oasis on their tour. Noel and Liam's then-wives Meg Mathews and Patsy Kensit also feature.
Other number ones that didn't feature are Go Let It out, The Hindu Times and Lyla while other classic album tracks such as She's Electric didn't make the cut either.
The set list from Saturday night at Murrayfield was:
Hello
Acquiesce
Some Might Say
Bring It On Down
Cigarettes & Alcohol
Fade Away
Supersonic
Roll With It
Talk Tonight
Half The World Away
Little by Little
D'You Know What I Mean
Stand By Me
Cast No Shadow
Slide Away
Whatever
Live Forever
Rock 'N' Roll Star
The Masterplan
Don't Look Back In Anger
Wonderwall
Champagne Supernova
