Noel Gallagher's acoustic wonder-show

Nov 10, 2006, 12:20 GMT

Noel Gallagher wowed a handful of fans in Los Angeles yesterday (09.11.06) with a secret concert.

The Oasis star was joined by the band's rhythm guitarist Gem Archer as he performed a selection of classic songs to celebrate the launch of Oasis' greatest hits album 'Stop The Clocks' for the listeners of local Radio station Indie 103.1FM.

Noel's brother and the group's frontman Liam was absent, as his sibling, Gem and a percussionist only introduced as Gary took to the stage after a screening of the band's tour documentary, 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down', at the Wadsworth Theatre.

After playing popular B-sides 'Talk Tonight' and 'Fade Away', Noel stunned fans with a cover version of The Beatles' hit 'Strawberry Fields Forever', after jokingly introducing it as "the new song I've been working on and it's doing my f***ing head in".

Noel was also in fine humorous form when he told a fan to "f**k off" after he requested to hear a drum solo.

He quipped: "You're obviously on some very serious drugs. Someone should take them off you and put then in my dressing room."

As the night was coming to an end, Noel announced he was "going to get absolutely hammered after this" and signed off saying, "Thank you for coming but you should be thanking me , because I'm not getting paid and it cost me money to get here!"

'Stop The Clocks' is out next week.
