Our exclusive video of the band, which you can watch on The Sun's website, playing the track inside the rehearsal studio in London told me everything I needed to know about the reunion so far - and I can confirm they sound incredible.
An onlooker who heard the rehearsal told me: 'Oasis have never sounded better.
"They were playing Cigarettes And Alcohol and Liam's vocals sounded really good, which is probably down to the two packets of Lockets he was sucking throughout the rehearsal.
'You could hear Noel's lead guitar really well and he sounded so good too.

'To hear them playing live, and playing so loudly, was an incredible moment.'
Today I showed you pictures of the brothers going in to rehearse together for the first time since Oasis split back in 2009.
While Noel hopped on the tube, Liam was driven in by a car - with him joking to a fan 'I'm afraid of getting mobbed, I'm really famous.'
The motormouth rocker also took the mick out of Noel's rather glum expression and said: 'He's laughing [and] giggling telling jokes.

'Couldn't shut him up yesterday. Time of his life.'
The brothers will kick off their tour in Cardiff's Principality Stadium on July 4, with Bonehead, Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Joey Waronker.

Naturally the reunion made history, with over 10 million fans trying to get their hands on the British shows alone.

Every show, including those in the USA, South America and Australia, all sold out within minutes of going on sale.
But those not lucky enough to get a ticket will be able to get in on the action thanks to a huge concert film being put together by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight.
I'm already counting down the days until the first night but watching this video has sent me over the edge.

Oasis Murrayfield performance breaks band's 2009 ground shaking record
Oasis have now beat their own personal peak power record with Tuesday's crowd generating the highest peak power reading of 261KW Oasis gave an even more ground-shaking performance at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium at each of their three gigs than at their 2009 show in the capital, according to analysis of seismic data. Noel and Liam Gallagher's last Scottish gig at Murrayfield 16 years ago had topped the chart for the most powerful seismic concert at the venue in the last 20 years, the British Geological Survey (BGS) said. However, their comeback shows at the stadium on August 8, 9 and 12 proved to be even more ground-shaking, particularly while the crowd danced along to their famous hit Cigarettes And Alcohol. Oasis have now beat their own personal peak power record with Tuesday evening's crowd generating the highest peak power reading of 261KW, followed by Friday (206KW) and Saturday (160KW). It's no wonder the band beat every other artist's ground-shaking levels though after Oasis shared some memorable fan moments from their recent Murrayfield gigs on Monday evening, with one clip showing thousands of fans on the standing pitch enthusiastically bouncing along to their tunes. BSG said: 'The peak power reading on each night was registered around 8.40pm whilst the crowd was dancing to Cigarettes And Alcohol. 'The energy detected by the seismic monitoring stations is driven by the movement of the crowd jumping and dancing in time to the music, rather than the volume of the concert, with bigger, more energetic crowds generating larger signal.' Oasis played three incredible sold out gigs at Murrayfield with an estimated 70,000 people flooding to the venue to hear them each night. The peak power recorded at the Oasis gig in June 2009 was 215.06KW, beating the Red Hot Chili Peppers in June 2004, Kings of Leon in June 2011 and Taylor Swift in June last year. The other top six acts to give the most ground-shaking performances at Murrayfield over the years are the Foo Fighters in 2015, Harry Styles in 2023, Beyonce in 2023, Robbie Williams in 2025, Bon Jovi in 2011, Spice Girls in 2019 and One Direction in 2014. The BGS retains an archive of continuous ground motion recordings from seismic sensors around the country, dating back several decades. The organisation is the national body responsible for recording earthquakes, operating a network of monitoring stations around the country. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

'I moved from America to the UK and gardening is so different in Britain'
An American man who now lives in the UK with his British wife has shared three big differences he's noticed when it comes to gardening in both countries and some of them pleasantly surprised him Many people in various countries across the world enjoy gardening as it allows them to bond with nature and savour the joy of growing their own produce. It can prove therapeutic for many and there's an array of plants and blooms that can flourish in domestic gardens. The fundamentals of gardening involve grasping soil composition, selecting appropriate plants according to climate and cultivation conditions, and efficient planting methods. There are certain straightforward tasks that must be carried out in every garden, such as sowing, weeding, watering, pest management and general upkeep, like cutting the grass. But, there are some gardening distinctions depending on the nation. TikTok user @grande_americano is a man from Texas in the US who lives in Suffolk with his British wife. He offers his followers glimpses into his life in the UK, including how it differs from America and in one of his clips, he discusses how gardening in America contrasts with gardening in the UK. He then outlined three differences he has observed to share what he has learned with his friends in the US. 1. Brits don't say 'yard' or 'yard work' The Texan initially observed that Brits don't employ use the terms 'yard' or 'yard work'. He clarified: "Gardening means everything you do in the yard. When I grew up you did yard work, which was mowing, trimming, edging, and a garden was a separate thing." He explained that a garden typically means a space for flowers or vegetables, but in Britain, the term "garden" covers the entire outdoor area - what he would call the yard, lawn, and the spots where flowers and vegetables grow. The expat also discovered that when a Brit mentions having a garden party, they're actually referring to an event held in the yard 2. The soil is 'nice' Moving on, the TikTok creator said: "The second thing is the soil is nice. I did a little bit of gardening today and it was actually somewhat pleasant to be able to pull weeds and dig around and not be hitting rocks after a half inch of top soil, like I would be doing in Texas where I'm from." He found that there's no limestone or dolomite to chip through in his UK garden, unlike in Texas. The American described the soil as "nice, rich dirt." 3. No 'weird' critters in the UK The final difference he noticed is the lack of " weird critters" commonly found in Texas, such as scorpions or venomous snakes. He commented: "I did see quite a few spiders and slugs and snails, [I] even saw two newts." Despite seeing "plenty of critters wandering around" and "lots of good fishing worms" in the soil, he noticed that they go about "minding their own business." The Texan added: "I've been told that there are some snakes here in the UK and possibly one viper, one venomous snake but I've been told that you'll be lucky to ever see a snake, much less a poisonous one." The American man acknowledged that although he might get used to grumbling about the weather, it is actually the mild climate, along with the moisture and humidity, that produces "such beautiful lush gardens and scenery and countryside that we all really love."
