Beady Eye, which includes former Oasis members Liam Gallagher, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock, made their debut in Glasgow at the Barrowlands. Since I was able to afford it somehow, I dragged some pals along to what ended up being a fantastic night out.
Taking to the stage with the Stone Roses' track 'I Am the Resurrection', it was pretty funny to hear (and join in with) the crowd responding by chanting Liam's name, which he ended up replying with "try f***in' harder!" They ended up playing every song from their debut album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding', apart from Wigwam.
I was surprised to hear that ex-Oasis member Paul Arthurs, who left in 2000, was in the crowd (probably because I was quite intoxicated). Apparently, he told the Daily Record newspaper that "[he] wasn't going to miss this one, Beady Eye's first gig, in Glasgow." which shows that he still has respect for his former band members, which I think is genuinely praiseworthy.
Overall, it was a fantastic night, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone if they end up playing here again.
