Brit rocker Noel Gallagher brought the crowd to its feet at his recent Melbourne gig – even though it took a little coaxing from the man himself!
After finding the audience’s reception “weird” at the seated venue for his show with High Flying Birds, the singer ordered everyone to stand up and enjoy the set.
“The gig was a bit weird to start with,” Gallagher wrote on his official blog.
“It was all seated and the crowd remained so for the first three songs. It was like they were at the cinema…Anyway, I felt as though I must speak to these people…
‘Do you HAVE to sit down?’ I asked.
‘NO!!’ They shouted back as one.
‘Well… Can you stand up, please?’ I asked again, slightly annoyed.
‘YISS,’ they replied in an Aussie accent and up they all stood… Just like that!!"
Although by the sound of it the singer quickly saw an uglier side to his demands...
"That did lead to some particularly bad dancing, I must say, but it was a price worth paying,” he joked.
