About this very rare concert:
"Following his appearance in New York for the premiere of the new Oasis tour documentary Lord Don't Slow Me Down (which involves girls flashing their boobies at the Gallagher lads, and midgets jumping out of cakes?), Noel Gallagher played a glittering acoustic set in Toronto last Tuesday with guitarist Gem Archer. Thanks to James in Ontario, I've got a splendid recording of the full show for you in mp3 (the same setlist he played Thursday in Los Angeles). It is laden with rarities and b-sides, and even a Beatles cover.
I've always preferred Oasis songs that Noel takes lead on, and as Torr says with his characteristic frankness and humor, this is "a glimpse into how great Noel could be without his knobhead of a brother."
