I’d want to be Noel Gallagher at this very precise moment singing this song. It doesn’t get much better than this.

He says “feel free to join in on the chorus.

The crowd, “no we’ll sing the entire thing.”

Incredible.

Having 70,000+ people sing your song word for word back to you with admiration has got to be a surreal, goosebump inducing experience.

Thousands of people singing, an English song in . . . Argentina, finishing the lyrics like this. . . this is the best moment an Artist can ask for. You can see it in Noel’s face.

I know this song already made the playlist, but this live version is one of my favorites. It must be amazing to be on the receiving end when they sing the chorus.

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play?
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Slowly fade away

So I start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And so, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger, I heard you say

Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a rock 'n' roll band
Who'll throw it all away

I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, 'cause summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
'Cause you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And so, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger, I heard you say

So, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger, I heard you say

So, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger, don't look back in anger
I heard you say
At least not today
