'I was at Oasis' first night - there was one moment where Noel's mask slipped over feud'

The moment Liam Gallagher seized brother Noel's hand and held it in the air as the brothers walked on stage in Cardiff was a sight Oasis fans have been waiting years to see and won't easily forget.

Reuniting alongside best mate Bonehead, the brothers played a blistering set to an adoring crowd - as 90s nostalgia packed every inch of the Principality Stadium.

After the initial burst of brotherly love put a very public end to their 16 year feud - it was suddenly back to business for Liam and Noel. The pair barely glanced at each other on stage as they ripped through the hits of their back catalogue from Hello to Supersonic.

For second song Acquiesce, Noel and Liam sang together but it was the only time they interacted at all during the two hour set. Fans hoping for banter between the tempestuous Manc brothers might have been disappointed.

Noel in particular maintained his signature stoic look on stage, focusing on his guitar and the crowd in front. That was until one moment in the second half gave away how he was really feeling to be back with Liam.

He infamously broke up the band in 2009 after one bust-up too many saying he 'simply could not go on a day longer' working with his younger brother.

While Liam had made no secret of the fact he was willing to put it all in the past, Noel continuously shot down any suggestion they could be on the same stage again.

But on Friday night they were back - but was it for the eye-watering pay packets or the perfect way to celebrate the thawing of their feud.

Somethings had not changed. While Noel maintained a concentrated focus, Liam kept up his reputation as the natural comedian of the group.

"I see you're all still on the glue down there," he told the standing fans. Later when asking the crowd to turn and around and hold each other for Rock 'n' Roll star, he quipped: "C'mon now you don't need GCSE's for this one."

When frontman Liam left the stage, it was Noel's time to shine as he slowed things down with mass singalongs of Talk Tonight and Don't Look Back in Anger - the latter causing swathes of the crowd to grab hold of their mates and some to even shed a tear or two.

But it was during Half the World Away that Noel finally cracked himself.

Watching the euphoric reaction as the lyrics to his 1998 track were roared back at him, a misty-eyed Noel finally broke and stopped singing as he stepped back from the microphone and took in the emotion of the occasion.

As a close-up of his face was beamed across the big stage, fans were stunned to see the famously grumpy brains behind Oasis even appear to have tears in eyes for a brief moment.

It was the one giveaway that confirmed Noel was truly glad to be back. While Liam has been tweeting daily since the news of the comeback was confirmed last August, little has been heard from Noel.

But last night fans got a chance to see for themselves just how much it really means.
