Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds – "Live Forever" live, Düsseldorf l 2023 | Rockpalast

He’s neither a classic showman nor a particularly innovative artist. But there are two things Noel Gallagher can do like no one else: write global hits and shoot his mouth off. In the latter regard, only his younger brother Liam can top him. In 2023, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds performed in Düsseldorf, where Rockpalast recorded their concert, including their song “Live Forever.” 💡 You can find the entire concert here: Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds live | ... 🎸 Our Rock & Alternative Playlist: 🎸 Rock & Alternative Noel Gallagher had a decisive influence on the English music scene in the 1990s. For his band Oasis, he not only wrote global hits, but also made the rough-and-tumble, soccer-loving “lad” archetype socially acceptable and, together with his brother Liam, regularly provided fodder for the tabloids. The brothers’ feuds are legendary for their intensity. On top of that came plenty of verbal outbursts, often directed at other artists and bands like their rivals Blur. After the turn of the millennium, things quieted down for the Gallaghers, but their feuds grew worse until Noel finally called it quits and launched his solo project, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. Noel’s comeback was initially more successful than that of his brother Liam with the band Beady Eye. Critics and fans alike were pleased with Noel’s output, which fully showcases his songwriting talent with Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds without directly harking back to the Oasis sound. The self-titled debut shot to the top of the charts in 2011. No wonder, since the album sounds relaxed, fresh, and finally passionate again compared to Oasis’s later work. The second album, “Chasing Yesterday,” was released in 2015, followed by the third, titled “Who Built The Moon?,” in 2017. On September 9 of that same year, the band headlined the “We Are Manchester” benefit concert at the Manchester Arena following the terrorist attack there in May. In 2019, Gallagher and the band toured the U.S. with the Smashing Pumpkins. In 2021, “Back The Way We Came: Vol. 1 (2011-2021)” was released, the High Flying Birds’ first greatest hits album, featuring two brand-new songs. It became Noel Gallagher’s twelfth No. 1 album in the United Kingdom. In 2023, “Council Skies,” the band’s fourth studio album, was released, followed by a major co-headlining tour of the U.S. alongside the band Garbage. 📸 Thumbnail photos: WDR/Thomas von der Heiden #noelgallagher #alternativrock #rockpalast ----- 🎬 More Rockpalast: ► Rockpalast in the ARD Media Library: https://www.ardmediathek.de/sendung/r... ► Rockpalast website and archive: https://www.wdr.de/tv/rockpalast/
