With their debut Number 1 album only out a fortnight, opening their tour in a demanding Glasgow was a brave shout.
With only the one LP worth of tracks to choose from, it was made very clear that they were only playing that and nothing else despite the obvious desire of an Oasis/Stone Roses littered set.
Launching into the trippy guitar of Just Another Rainbow to kick it all off showed they were shuffling the record's order to maximize its live potential.
Although the album has been getting mixed reviews - I personally think it's about an 8/10 with some of the best guitar I've heard in years - since its release, that didn't stop their entire UK tour selling out in seconds.
But with only 10 tunes in their arsenal, and at £70 a ticket, it meant the 55-minute-long set wasn't exactly well received by some.
Prices aren't set by them so you have to accept that, and to be perfectly honest, seeing them both in Scotland's finest venue was a wee privilege on a school night.
Even with a strong performance from both the icons, it was a tough pill to swallow paying that much and not getting a blast of something from the glory years. Both put in a great shift, with Liam's vocals the best I've personally heard them, and Squire going about his effortless business as if he's jamming in his living room.
Highlight of the night was a strung out Love You Forever which saw the former Roses guitarist turn into Jimi Hendrix for a bit.
With Liam declaring they had no more tunes and ready to send everyone home, they must have discussed the need for a cover of sorts, and delivered a bouncy version of Rolling Stones' classic Jumpin' Jack Flash - sending most punters home happy.
Obviously still a work in progress, the duo are continuing to operate at the top of their game after 30-odd years, and hopefully this particular show grows - and they make a return with a bigger body of work.
