Oasis & Gallagher Brothers - General Discussion

Saw them at MSG in NYC a month or so ago Remy. It was the first time I had ever seen them and I thought the show was great, although my buddy, who likes Oasis like I like U2, was disappointed. He wanted them to move around a lot more and play some deeper cuts.

The new album is pretty good, but nothing like Don't Believe the Truth. I think I can put up a pretty good arguement that DBTT was better then What's The Story.

I think 3 off of Don't Believe the Truth. Layla rocked, but I was so pissed they didn't play Turn up the Sun or Mucky Fingers.

A ton off the first album, which I am personally not a fan of at all despite Oasis being one of my top 5 bands of all time.

But make no mistake about it, the tunes from What's the Story are the ones that got the crowd psyched up the most. The big 3, Wonderwall, Don't Look Back (acoustic), and Champagne Supernova were all unreal live. The crowd got so into those.

If you are not going in with high expectations, I bet you will be surprsied at how good they are live.

It was great! It was a great show, though Liam's voice still wasn't very good at some occasions (for which he apologized during the show). Noel's songs were much better, I like them more anyway. But overall it was a great show, I really enjoyed it. They have a lot of great tunes, a good live band. Not the best concert I've ever seen, but it was worth the wait, standing in the rain for half an hour and worth the money too.

They played 5 or 6 tunes I didn't know, and half of them I liked regardless. Of course songs like champagne supernova, what's the story, wonderwall and don't look back in anger (performed accoustic as the start of the encore) were the real smashers. They ended with I Am The Walrus which was pretty awesome, great music.

I saw a classmate of mine standing next to me, he was supposed to see them in Germany but he traded his cancelled/rescheduled tickets for tickets in Amsterdam. And in front of us there was a couple from Belfast, they were real die-hard fans, dancing and singing a long like crazy ones whole the time (singing at each other etc.). Couldn't help smiling all the time, it must be great to be such great fans. I asked them if they liked U2, and the girl instantly started singing Streets, they liked them, but not as much as Oasis, which they have seen for over 7 times now. Great party.

And a couple of guys were bored so they throwed at least 15 to 20 glasses of beer in the sky, guys around me were wet like they came from a long swim.

Oh and afterwards I ran into a (lovely) girl who had a song called Noel of 2, named after.. You know

And the support act was horrifying, man I hate (9 out of 10) support acts They were called Twisted Wheel, what a noise.
