Oasis - Round Are Way (UK show The White Room, 1995 / official video / Maine Road, Manchester, 4/27/96

From Rolling Stone's Australian edition: https://au.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/oasis-40-best-songs-list-66458/round-are-way-1995-66464/

‘Round Are Way’ (1995)
Back in 1995, when Noel was coming up with more good songs than he knew what to do with, “Round Are Way” — its title a Slade-ian misspelling of the Mancunian expression for “in our neighborhood” — was one of three tracks consigned to the B-side of “Wonderwall.” Essentially an update of Madness’s “Our House,” this merrily nostalgic ode to growing up in the Manchester suburb of Burnage features a stomping glam-rock beat, “Got to Get You into My Life”-like horns, burning blues harp from Nine Below Zero’s Mark Feltham, and evocative lyrics about naughty paperboys and 25-a-side football matches. “Round Are Way” is still rightly hailed as one of Oasis’ finest non-album tracks. —D.E.

hot. 🔥

He looked very stoned for that White Room appearance, too. But he was still able to sing perfectly.

He's said that there are a number of TV appearances and concerts he can't remember. And at least one album (Heathen Chemistry, 2002). Noel had cut back on drugs and alcohol long before Liam did.
