Noel: “At the London Olympia, a prestige gig, I encountered strobe lights for the first time. I got lost in them, feeling far too detached, but knew I had to play. I was caught in a slow-motion, black and white time warp. All I could see were old-time movie flickers of Jimi laughing at me as I tried to keep in touch with the tempo. I still can't handle strobes. Everything was designed to let it 'flow', but it was sometimes hard not to just melt away.”
