that said, assuming Noel wasn't feeling the jeebies he could have just played the gig himself as lead vox, he's a better vocalist than Liam anyway...Originally posted by WojBhoy:They did a great job filling in as makeshift head-liners at V at the weekend when Oasis pulled out - listened/watched their covers of Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova and both were great.

Not the place to talk about Oasis, granted, but anyway! Listening to the SP support boots that yeah posted (thanks again, by the by, if you're reading this yeah) has moved SP back up in my estimations. I never didn't like them, but I lost interest for a bit. Wonder if they're playing anywhere in the near future that I can get to?

Snow Patrol and Keane cover Oasis as Gallaghers miss V Festival
Chelmsford's makeshift headliners happy to fill in 'for best crowd ever'
Snow Patrol covered Oasis on the final night (August 23) of V Festival 2009 at Chelmsford, after they had to fill in as headliners for the illness-stricken band.
Gary Lightbody's men topped the bill after Liam Gallagher caught viral laryngitis.
To make-up for their absence, the group covered 'Wonderwall' and 'Champagne Supernova' acoustically during their encore, with frontman Lightbody declaring: "The mighty Oasis should be here tonight!" and telling the crowd not to boo them
Earlier, Snow Patrol had discovered that despite jeers greeting news of Oasis' cancellation earlier in the day, they were warmly received as headliners by the V Stage crowd.
"Already you're one of the best crowds we've ever played to," Lightbody declared after just two songs. "It's a dark, dark time but we'll try to shed some light on it."
The band then dedicated 'Run' to Elbow, who had played just ahead of Snow Patrol. Lightbody declared them "a national treasure".
Enjoying loud crowd sing-a-longs throughout their set, 'Shut Your Eyes' saw the band played the halves of the V Stage arena off against the other with a series of shout outs.
Following the Oasis covers, Snow Patrol completed their encore with their own 'Tiny Little Fractures' and 'You're All I Have'.
Snow Patrol played:
'If There's A Rocket Tie Me To It'
'You Could Be Happy'
'Hands Open'
'Spitting Games'
'How To Be Dead'
'Somewhere There's A Clock Ticking'
'Set The Fire To The Third Bar'
'Make These Go On Forever'
'Run'
'Shut Your Eyes'
'Chasing Cars'
'It's Beginning To Get To Me'
'Take Back The City'
'Open Your Eyes'
'Wonderwall'
'Champagne Supernova'
'Tiny Little Fractures'
'You're All I Have'
