Critiquing Oasis

[SpookyFrank]

Their last UK gigs were in Heaton park in 2009. I went, it was shit. Miles back, pissed it down, ropey sound, full of tossers

You can't do a week of back-to-back dates in the same park. I call bullshit.

e2a: Bullshit on the 'advert' posted earlier, not you seeing them in 2009. Nobody would lie about that to get kudos points would they?

I took my brother to his first gig - Earls Court, when Morning Glory was out.

I was at that gig too.

The Bootleg Beatles

Yep.

I have no kudos points when it comes to music on urban as my posting history in this sub forum demonstrates

I’ll let my mate know. He was their FOH engineer back then, is still working for NGHFB and will almost certainly be at the controls for whatever happens next summer

I think it got lost a bit as it was an open air venue, maybe the wind a factor? I’m sure this technical feedback is helpful

The all-important local angle Stroud man on cusp of Oasis reunion | Stroud Times Famously Gloucestershire band.

 

[Sweet FA]

They used to have good support bands, Oasis. I got to see The Verve,

Verve were supposed to be supporting when I saw them in Sheffield in 1995 but were replaced by Pulp at the last minute.

Ocean Colour Scene

I mean wtf was that about?

The Guardian getting excited:

‘I’ve waited 25 years for this moment’: Oasis, the reunion – and what made them great

Their sneering vocals, seething guitars and thermonuclear charisma electrified the 90s. But will a reunion be a Champagne Supernova – or a Digsy’s Dinner? Our music writers weigh in

Fair amount of rose-tinted glasses going on there, but then I wasn't 15 in 1994.

This is what listen to that dirge does to you

 

[ouirdeaux]

I didn't like them very much when they appeared. Most of the time, if you don't like a popular beat combo, and you ignore it, it will go away, like most other annoyances of life. They did, more or less, and now they're back. Such is life.

 

[Sue]

Verve were supposed to be supporting when I saw them in Sheffield in 1995 but were replaced by Pulp at the last minute.

That sounds like a massive win, given the terribleness of The Verve and the fabness of Pulp.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Also had to sit through… Ocean Colour Scene

I had to sit through them once as well, but had a pretty good view and the luxury of being paid by them to do so

I don't think I'd heard them at that point but I was blown away - lyrics, Jarvis' dance moves, the lot. Common People was about to be released and Different Class came out later that year.

Setlist:

1. Babies
2. Monday Morning
3. Mile End
4. Razzmatazz
5. Underwear
6. Acrylic Afternoons
7. Do You Remember the First Time?
8. Common People

Oasis were on excellent form; tight, fast (for them) loud and they were all in a good mood. It was their first arena show and first time playing Don't Look Back live, basically a greatest hits + b-sides set:

1. Rock 'n' Roll Star
2. Columbia
3. Digsy's Dinner
4. Some Might Say
5. Shakermaker
6. Live Forever
7. Up in the Sky
8. Acquiesce
9. Headshrinker
10. (It's Good) To Be Free
11. Cigarettes & Alcohol
12. Married With Children
13. Take Me Away
14. Don't Look Back in Anger
15. Talk Tonight
16. Whatever
17. Slide Away
18. Supersonic
19. I Am the Walrus

I get the excitement some people are feeling, I was 13 in 1994. Oasis have gained a lot of new fans since they split.
So, if they are doing gigs? Tickets will be like gold dust. I did meet Noel Gallagher once in the 90's.
Off his head on God knows what, sees me wearing a Manchester United shirt? Looks like he wants to
take a swing at me. His then wife, dragged him off and mouthed "Sorry". Arrogant berk. Liam seems to
be alright if a little mad.

Early Oasis? Great. Later Oasis? Rock and Roll Cliche of a band.

Unverified. Take its authenticity with a pinch of salt.

Noting the dates, Oasis fans be prepared to dig in for Glastonbury tickets - this has got Sunday headliner written all over it.

Ugh Kasabian and LCD Soundsystem supporting. I’d rather watch the washing machine go round.

That’s more or less all their good songs in one set. Them plus pulp would have been a great night

Not sure the Oasis youthful energy and swagger works as well when they’re 50 something and millionaires

 

[Yossarian]

They weren't all that when I saw them at Glastonbury in 1995, probably not going to bother 30 years later - still regret not going to the other stage to see the Prodigy that night

You've got a good memory.

 

[Steel Icarus]

You've got a good memory.

Yep, he remembered the Setlist FM website very well

 

[Sweet FA]

You've got a good memory.

I remember the gig; google remembered the rest. (And the show's on YouTube which helped ).

 

[savoloysam]

The problem with Oasis goes along the lines of bringing in coked up football loving piss heads into the rock scene.

One of the twats from Kasabian said it best when he said something on the lines of Rock music being music for the outsiders who were considered to be a bit weird ( ) and that Oasis opened up the doors and made it cool for everyone.

 

[BigMoaner]

Haven’t listened to them for years but for a few years growing up they meant a lot to me and nearly all my mates. It was the energy, don’t know how anyone can deny there’s a certain energy in a performance like this. It just felt different at the time.

Definitely fake as Dua Lipa is already doing some of those dates in June.

I saw Liam Gallagher supporting the Rolling Stones in 2017/18... His stage presence and set was excellent..I think I enjoyed him more than the Stones.

On a related note to the sound engineer: it needs to be LOUD. Saw Blur at Wembley Stadium last year and it wasn't loud enough. Saw Oasis at Glastonbury in 2004 and it wasn't loud enough... Oasis need to be loud.

You sure that's not age related hearing loss?
