Liam Gallagher gave a brilliant performance of his new Christmas-themed single, All You’re Dreaming Of tonight (December 5th). Gallagher’s performance was streamed via video on the hugely popular talk show, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
Fallon previewed the All You’re Dreaming Of performance via his official YouTube channel. The performance, which has already gathered over 64,000 views, can be watched in full here.
The All You’re Dreaming Of is the first taster from Gallagher’s Livestream special, ‘Down By The River Thames’, which is set to premiere later tonight. The ‘Down By The River’ stream will be available via MelodyVR. A socially distanced gig, of course, the special stream will be a crowd-less, outdoor event. ‘Down By The River’ will see Gallagher and his band singing a varied repertoire of some of his greatest hits whilst floating along the River Thames on a huge barge.
In an official statement, Gallagher gave some details surrounding his upcoming performance. The Rock ‘n’ Roll Star said he will sing “tracks from my two number 1 solo albums as well as some stone-cold Oasis classics, some of which you haven’t heard me sing for a long, long time.”
Gallagher shared the ‘Down By The River’ setlist to his favourite social media platform, Twitter. From Morning Glory to Wall of Glass, ‘Down By The River’ will retell the pivotal moments of the British icon’s still-thriving career. The setlist reveal garnered over 18,000 likes and was received excitedly by avid fans.
Not long after, Gallagher took to Instagram to share a clip of his memorising All You’re Dreaming Of performance. Within the post, Gallagher wrote the playful caption: “Yes brothers and sisters not long to go remember your watching from your homes so no throwing pints of p*** about c’mon you know LG x”
The post was met with joy from fans, receiving over 50,000 likes. One particularly impressed fan wrote: “You should release this gig as a live album!”
Unfortunately, this once in a lifetime performance will be a standalone gig for the Britpop legend. Despite the subsequent changes to the music industry following the Covid-19 pandemic, Gallagher revealed recently that he has no interest in following the new artist trend of Zoom performances.
In a recent interview, Gallagher conveyed his sustain towards performing via Zoom. The Wall of Glass hitmaker believes Zoom gigs could never compare to the rush of performing live: “You have got to go big all the time, I’m not into doing gigs on Zoom. It’s not for me, it’s ridiculous.”
All You’re Dreaming Of is the latest release from Liam Gallagher. NME said of the Christmas track: “It’ll be a crime if he’s not rolled out on ‘Jools Hollands’ Hootenanny’ for an 11pm tearjerker after a few eggnogs, beckoning us out of 2020 with a song of love and hope for the future. Yes, this is Liam Gallagher we’re still talking about. It seems 2020 has made even him get a little sentimental.”
All You’re Dreaming Of is out now.
