Well, you'd think they would, as it is their job. But in this case they did it without the aid of music, for twenty five minutes, at their gig in Manchester on Saturday. The band were forced to stop playing early on in the concert, after a barrier broke and proceedings had to be put on hold until it was fixed. Noel announced to the crowd "Alright look I've been told the barrier at the front has broken down so if everyone can just take one or two steps back we'll start playing again. Otherwise we can't go on with the show. If anybody does get injured though make sure they get a fucking t-shirt on the way out."
To pass the time, Noel apparently told jokes and urged the fans to sing: "Who the fuck are Man Utd?" but Liam evidently got bored with this, and shouted "Let's just get somebody in the crowd to get their tits out." So a lot of girls did, to great applause. Noel commented "Can you imagine what the people outside must be thinking with all this cheering going on and no music? They must be wondering what the fuck is going on. You wouldn't get this at a Coldplay gig would you?"
The problem was eventually solved and the band went on to play tracks from new album 'Don't Believe The Truth', as well as some classic Oasis tracks.
