Rock icons Liam Gallagher and John Squire wowed audiences at the O2 Forum Kentish Town in London on Monday night (25.03.24) with a captivating rendition of The Rolling Stones’ classic hit “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.”
The dynamic duo, both renowned figures in the rock music scene, treated the sold-out crowd to a night of memorable performances. As part of their encore, they delivered a high-energy version of the iconic 1968 single penned by Sir Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
Prior to their electrifying finale, Liam, aged 51, and John, aged 61, showcased tracks from their collaborative album ‘Liam Gallagher John Squire,’ opting to steer clear of songs from their respective bands Oasis and The Stone Roses.
The concert kicked off with the single ‘Just Another Rainbow,’ setting the tone for an engaging evening. The audience enthusiastically joined Liam in a spirited singalong of the rainbow’s colors during the song’s chorus.
Introducing ‘I’m a Wheel,’ Liam playfully asked the crowd, “hands up who wants the blues,” before John Squire launched into the distinctive 12-bar riff, captivating the audience with his musical prowess.
Standout moments included performances of ‘Mars to Liverpool,’ ‘You’re Not the Only One,’ and ‘Love You Forever.’ During the latter track, Liam briefly exited the stage, allowing the band – featuring bassist Barrie Cadogan, drummer Joey Waronker, and keyboardist Chris Madden – to showcase their improvisational skills, with John Squire delivering an impressive solo.
Amidst the music, Liam took a playful moment to interact with the audience, jokingly urging one fan to “finish off that sambuca” as the aroma of the Italian liqueur filled the venue.
Overall, the night was a testament to the enduring talent and stage presence of Liam Gallagher and John Squire, leaving fans exhilarated by an unforgettable musical experience.
