Beady Eye

What we witnessed on Saturday was a band with the eagerness of please of newcomers with something to prove. There were no hints of diva behaviour. despite playing at a smaller venue after packing stadiums for the last 20 years A solid performance by a sober and energized Liam and the brilliant Gem and Andy. I hope this band stays together and delivers a masterpiece for their second album.

Liam and boys were so on it and tight. Best show of the year! Can't wait to see them again!

I've seen 3-4 Oasis shows and this b.l.e.w. i.t. a.w.a.y.! Liam was on fire! literally sweating through his Pretty Green. You still couldn't understand half of what he said, but it was well worth the admission. Bravo Beady Eye, Bravo....

Already seen beady eye once in Manchester and was over the moon with them being in new York while I was visiting, they were ace just as they was in Manchester, great to see them in such a small venue!!

Liam sounded amazing and the band rocked. I thought the crowd was into every song. If anyone has the chance to see Beady Eye live in the coming months they should not be missed. I thought the new songs were built to be played live as they flowed perfectly. Highlights were the opening track Yellow Tail that should be on the next record and then straight into Four Letter Word and Beatles & Stones. Loved Man of Misery, Two of a Kind, Bring the Light, Wigwam. Fantastic debut cd so if you don't have it buy it now as you will not be disappointed! Five stars for this show and should make a great start to the summer concerts to come.

One of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Great band, great sound, crowd was very into it, all in all, an amazing performance!

Beady Eye was spot on. Liam's voice sounded amazing. Before the show, the guys came outside to greet fans and sign autographs. I couldn't ask for a better concert experience.

One of the best shows I have ever seen! They came on did an hour and 20 minutes. Liam really interacted with crowd and proved why he is still one of the greatest frontmen. He came over after the show and shook hands with the fans and kissed mine. Then the guys signed my cd.

Beady Eye sucked. They went onstage at 8:15 in the afternoon and were done by 9:15pm. Liam sounded decent but the crowd was tiny and the band was uninspired. One of the worst gigs I have ever seen. I think it was the last show of their US tour and you could tell they could not wait for it to be over.

Been a long time waiting for this! The concert was way better than I thought it would be.

I'm a huge Oasis fan--even when they fell flat in the states, I was there buying all the disks and loving it. I caught Noel a week earlier at the Beacon and thought it was amazing so I was ready for a great show from Liam. Not the case at all, first of all the mix was awful -- his vox was crazy louder than the bands instruments and there wasn't any vocal effects so it sounded like fingers on a chalk board for the 1st 3 or 4 songs. it was then when he walked off the stage, came back and the vox effects were put in, only now I was just fed up with the less than average material, lack of a guitar solo's and Liams "Stadium Attitude" in a 1000 person venue...I tried to focus on the band but it didn't work so I rode it out for about 3 more songs and left before the end of the show--bummer. The best part of the show was how the guy in front of me nailed some dork waving his T shirt with a beer cup from 20' away! Lets face it, Noel is a brilliant songwriter and Liam was voice and attitude of Oasis -- Liam on his own is just average at best. I appreciate that he's giving it a go post Oasis but I won't be putting any more time into this project.

Christmas came early this year to Terminal 5, NYC - Liam's voice was spot on and the band did not disappoint. Beady Eye is a "Real Rock n Roll Band" all inclusive with great musicans & the greatest frontman of all time - Liam surprised the audience with a stroll through the photography pit and greeted the fans - the connection was electric. I have seen Beady Eye play several times this year and can't wait until they return. All I can say is Thanks guys - you are the greatest!

Beady Eye gave a great show at HoB in Boston. I'm pretty familiar with their new CD and the songs sounded great live, after the sound man realized Liam's vocals were waaay too loud for the first few songs. Once that was 'fixed', I thought Liam was in fine voice and felt he made an effort to please, even toying with the audience down front. I never would have considered him playful back in the day... I felt fortunate to see the band at a small venue. Hope they continue to tour and we see em again soon.

Sound quality at the House of Blues didn't seem that great, very loud and 'shouty'. Beady Eye only played for 1 hour. Music was unique, not like Oasis. Enjoyed Noel Gallagher at the Wang Theatre in Boston much more. The seating upstairs at House of Blues is very comfortable.

The band sounded great, they played every song from the their album I believe, with a couple of covers as well. The show was short, a little over an hour, but then again, they only have 1 album of material to reference. It was a good live show, Liam Gallagher was entertaining, great frontman.

Hopes were high for December 9th, 2011's Beady Show at Terminal 5. However, what I was expecting to be a catchy, fast-paced show turned into the Liam Gallagher Three Ring Circus. First, his vocals were at least 1.5 times to 2 times louder than any of the actual instruments, which meant that his voice was grating against your ears and overpowering the other musicians, spoiling many of the songs. Second, he mumbled most of the lyrics so to make the vocals unintelligible. Not only was he louder than anyone else, but I couldn't actually understand the words coming out of his mouth. Third, it appeared that Liam was the only one allowed to move about the stage. It was as if no one else was able to move beyond the little imaginary 2 by 2 squares on the floor, giving the whole affair a static feel. That, along with the fact that Liam didn't take off his coat and wouldn't actually pick up the mic (he just cupped his hands behind his back and awkwardly crouched to reach the mic) fostered a low energy atmosphere (at least from where I was standing). Overall, I was underwhelmed, and wished I could hear the actual music better. I guess it was just one of those cases where the album's better than the show, or maybe the mixing was just bad this particular time. I don't know... but I'll think twice before seeing them next time around.

Great show Friday night, the band seemed to be in great form and the crowd was excellent. BE are not very creative on stage, but prefer to stick to recreating the album versions of the tunes. And, they do an excellent job of it. I'd recommend to anyone.

I wanna live the experience again and again.they come up and showed the world who's in charge. Liam's Champaing Supernova. I recomend this show 100%.

Great atmosphere seeing Beady Eye in a venue like Terminal 5. The band loves New York and the vibe was so positive. Liam was interacting with the crowd and this debut set of songs is built for a live show. So many highlights but hearing the b-sides Man of Misery and In the Bubble With a Bullet made this show for me. Can't wait for the next cd and and selected shows in 2012

I went into the show not really expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. Having seen Noel Gallagher's solo effort just 2 weeks earlier, I wasn't really sure what to expect from Liam Gallagher and the rest of the members of, the now defunct, Oasis. But, I was pleasantly surprised. As a matter of fact, I'm underselling it. It was a night of good ol' fashioned, no holds barred, rock 'n' roll. Beady Eye had the crowd rockin' and rollin' the whole time. Liam's years of experience as a frontman really show as he has the crowd eating from the palm of his hand. With his voice sounding stronger than it has in years, Liam Gallagher, along with Gem Archer and Andy Bell have moved away from Oasis and into a band that sounds all their own.

This is my second Beady Eye review for tickemaster, but then I saw them play in two venues! The San Francisco show was great, but the LA show was an epic rock & roll experience. In LA the audience was more excited, and this in turn got the band excited. They were smiling and moving around more than usual, and Liam was interacting with the crowd to an amazing degree. He signed autographs from the stage, even. He complimented my hair! It sounded great, it looked great, Liam was magnetic, and we in the front row were in a frenzy. I love Beady Eye's songs, which are straightforward British invasion rock, but even if I didn't I would check out a show just to have the opportunity to see one of the greatest rock & roll frontmen of our generation up close and personal. Oasis played stadiums, Beady Eye is playing clubs -- what a great treat for us fans.

I saw Beady Eye at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco on December 2, and although things got off to a slow start, by about the third or fourth song the band hit its stride and the show started rocking. The audience was a little bit small and restrained, but down in front the crowd was loving it. The band seemed to feel the lack of energy from the house, so they played to the front row rather than the rafters. That's okay, as I was in the front row! Liam is as magnetic as ever, maybe even too much so. The man is a born rock & roll star and well worth catching in a small venue. He dominates the stage and the songs, which are actually quite good. The songs are retro British invasion rock, "Beatles and Stones" (the name of one of the songs), and they are a lot of fun. The lights were distracting, however, sometimes illuminating the front row of the audience (where I was standing) and backlighting the band. I didn't come to see my fellow concert-goers, I came to see Liam Gallagher!

Seeing Liam,Gem,Andy,Chris and company was awesome, they have a lot of talent and i hope they keep playing nice tunes. The venue was amazing San Francisco has a lot of good places to Rock,

Beady Eye rocked. the crowd was pumped and Liam was brilliant. His voice was amazing and the band was having a great time with smiles on their faces. Liam handed me his towel and shook my hand as he walked by taking photos and signing various items for the fans in the front row.

Let's face it. Liam Gallagher has one thing many don't, star power. This charismatic singer commands the stage like no other. The band took the stage at 10 pm and delivered an hour and twenty minute set of blistering great rock songs. Opening with Four Letter Word, and then soldiering on through all of the songs on their debut album, Different Gear Still Speeding. The band does great with this set of new songs. Oasis fans understand that this is not Oasis. That said, they sadly didn't turn out in numbers. The Regency Ballroom is 1,400 capacity and the room looked at about 700 in attendance. People who didn't see this show really missed out. Beady Eye rocks and commands the stage, period. Gem, Andy, and Chris, create a great rock band. The songs are stylish, full of melody, and just plain outstanding. I can't wait for this band to return to the Bay Area. Five Stars

Beady Eye hit the stage with a snarl and a swagger and Liam proved his point that he can write decent songs, albeit a little more lightweight than his brother. The songs actually sounded better live than on the CD, so maybe they missed Noel in the studio. Don't understand why there were fewer people at this than at the Noel concert 2 weeks ago. Noel was decent but restrained and although his singing voice was fair obviously lacked the live charisma of his brother, but the songs were a little more nuanced and he played some Oasis songs unlike Liam, who felt he had to prove that he didn't need those -and he didn't. Beady Eye definintely had more of the Beatles/Stones trashy rock star thing going on and ulimately that made for a slightly more satisfying show from Beady vs Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

Disappointing they weren't able to perform at the Warfield - turned out to be way overpriced to listen to them for an hour at the Regency Ballroom (although a very nice venue in itself). The sound system was way too loud for the small room, distorted the music to the point of being unrecognizable at some points - not to mention that the band seemed completely uninterested in what they were doing up there. Was the drummer the only one awake?! The lighting was more of a distraction than a cool part of the show. Bottom line - don't go expecting anything like Oasis.

Liam Gallagher came to town with his new band BEADY EYE a short time after his brother Noel played to a huge audience at the Orpheum Theatre. Liam unfortunately picked a night when many events were in town, including STING & MY MORNING JACKET at other venues, so he played to a very small audience at the Regency Ballroom (the event originally scheduled for the Warfield). He still put on a very good show (a bit over an hour, so kind of short). While Noel (who wrote Oasis songs) could play them at his show, Liam plays mostly new Beady Eye stuff or covers. He was way off tune on his first song, but thereafter caught stride and sounded very good. His band is also very good. Unfortunately, most people who show up for Noel or Liam long for the two to reunite and bring OASIS back. Hopefully, they will fight a way to mend their differences

It was obvious from the first three or four songs that the band was suffering from tour fatigue. Liam s voice didn t have the magic and was a bit off-key at times. The band s execution was more dutiful and mechanical than energetic. As a musician, I could empathize: they d been on tour for months, probably opening the sets with the same songs ( Four Letter Word, Millionaire, Beatles and Stones ) and were pretty much going through the motions. As a listener, it was disappointing to have caught the band on what seemed to be an off-night. All of that changed in one song. Oddly enough, the song that flipped the energy switch was a pretty song, not a rocker\u2014the lovely For Anyone. After just missing the highs in the first verse, Liam finally found himself (and the notes) in verse two. The band picked up on it, too; they all seemed wake up from the funk and pay more attention to each other and the music. To confirm that they were back on top of their game, they moved into a no-holds version of Three Ring Circus, a song that is simply perfect for Liam s voice and style. The Roller, Bring the Light, and Standing on the Edge of the Noise brought the crowd to the point where they were no longer thinking about what they were hearing, they were just into the driving beat and energy of great rock and roll. When Liam announced next one s a slow one, I was hoping for Kill for a Dream and my hopes were realized. Sometimes the shift from hard-drivers to a ballad can lose a crowd, but if anything, Kill for a Dream cemented the connection. Liam s vocal on this one was one for the ages: a soulful, melodic rendition with that special edge that only he and a few others can deliver.

Have been a solid fan from Definitely Maybe and knew just what to expect. If you've been to their shows or have the DVDs, you know what's up. Was a little nervous going in - didn't want anything to happen that would tarnish my love for the boys. All the internet squabbling and what not, I didn't want Liam to make me regret being a fan... Delivered on all accounts. The show was EXACTLY as good as I wanted it to be, they threw in 2 new songs, played most of the songs I wanted to hear from the album and generally DESTROYED. Would have loved to have heard from Liam a little more in between songs, but I can definitely say this show was NOT phoned in... If you're contemplating on going to one of their subsequent shows, DO IT! If you're not a fan of the genre, it might not work, but if you're even a casual fan, WELL WORTH IT...

Beady Eye was indescribable! They could pack a larger venue but seeing them in a smaller venue like the Showbox is other-worldly. Being able to see Liam Gallagher that close, the look in his eyes when he sings...well, it touches you to the bone. And it will LIVE FOREVER in my soul because when he jumped off the stage and came to greet the crowd, I TOUCHED HIS HAND, THREE TIMES!!! His voice was very on Wednesday night, clear and meaning the words he sings. Some talk says that he is a show man, smoke and no substance, but he is definitely an artist who loves his craft. It is a night I will hold in my mind forever! Thank you Liam and Beady Eye!

If you are an Oasis fan, go see BEady Eye. Liam was amazing! (His vocals reminded me of him during the 90s) Gem, Andy and Chris were spot on!

I have seen 25 shows @ the TLA. None equaled what Beady Eye did!

Fantastic show. Anyone who is a huge Oasis fan/follower would have a great time at this show. Beady Eye's sound and style encompasses band styles from the '60's to today much like Oasis did.

Great songs, Great band! Liam and the band were very good.

Amazing concert! Excellent sound. All Beady Eye's songs. Recommended 100%!

Good energy! Rock and roll songs! Liam's vocals are back!
