Is that the same parka we're seeing?

Despite suggesting that he may never perform live again (after the disbandment of Oasis in 2009), Liam Gallagher has become a mainstay on the British live circuit.

If there's a festival wanting a big-pull headliner, he'll provide his services; if there's an open-air event to be had, LG will have it; if there's a helocopter to fall out of, he'll fall out of it. 

This weekend (3 and 4 June) he'll reprise his role as conductor of 100,000+ people at Knebworth Park, something he first did at those era-defining Oasis concerts in 1996. In celebration, we've pulled all of the photos of the frontman shaking his maracas and clasping his hands behind his back. Turns out we have quite a few of them. 

One question remains: is the parka that features throughout these pictures the same, well-worn piece or part of a monotone wardrobe featuring rails and rails of raincoats?
