Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2007 1:09 pm Post subject: Your most memorable Oasis gig

It was in the 29th January, last year in Lille for the DBTT tour. I unfortunately couldn't stand with the crowd because I had a monstruous pain in the back, but it WAS my best souvenir of Oasis live. A unique experience, and as my friend St0rm will say, probably better than s.x (hehe). Anyway, Liam was wearing a grey suit jacket with nothing under ( ) and terrible shades, and Noel, cool as ever, his blue polo and jeans... The thing that they played Songbird and the Masterplan this night, and they didn't do that in Paris in October. And Songbird makes me melt everytime I listen to it, sigh.... An Oasis is quite difficult to describe though, you have to fucking live it to believe it. Do I need to add that I'm already excited about the next tour ???? _________________ I suppose I do get sad, but not for too long.

i'm buzzing already about the next album and tour and nothing has been announced yet ive seen Oasis many times and every gig was a day to remember for the rest of my life (and others as im always telling people about them). a few moments i'll pick out were seeing fucking thousands of people singing along to Lyla at the city of manchester stadium in 2005, ive never seen so many people in one place singing and going wild and the atmosphere could have blown the planet up. also at the beginning of the gig when the fence had to be repaired before the band could play, noel looked at the giant screen behind him which was streaming a live feed of 'Live 8' and said to the crowd, "bet you're glad you're here instead"..... another was hearing the band play 'step out' at the reebok stadium in 2000. holy fuck, it was amazing as was 'gas panic'. _________________

I've never had the opportunity to see them. From what I can tell Liam's voice is massively disappointing live.

Oasis have been in Montreal twice. - The first time in 1995 I reckon. I was six years old so, yeah. - They scheduled a gig in 1997 I think but was canceled due to a monstruous ice storm. - Their last gig in Montreal was in 2002 for the HC tour. I got seriously into Oasis not ever a year after. - They played Toronto in May 2005. I'll remember this time all my life as the day I could've seen Oasis live. I think I'm gonna go in my room and cry now. _________________ "If you're not in it to become bigger than The Beatles then it's just a hobby" - Noel Gallagher

That is my intention. They play Toronto often, so next time I'll make the trip. _________________ "If you're not in it to become bigger than The Beatles then it's just a hobby" - Noel Gallagher

I've seen some damn good concerts. It will take a lot to beat them The other gripe I have about Oasis live is that their setlists consist almost entirely of singles and crowd-pleasers. I prefer it when bands make really long shows with a totally surprising setlist where you just go "I can't believe they're playing that". It's all about the suspense. Sure I'd LOVE to hear Oasis' classics live, but I would also love to hear some lesser known b-sides too. The Smashing Pumpkins are a great example of a band who crafts their setlists masterfully. _________________

Well they do play a lot of b-sides in their concerts. Acquiesce, The Masterplan, Half The World Away were regulars on the setlist back in the day. On the DBTT tour, they brought back Bring It On Down which is a fucking great idea. And there are a lot of #1 singles they practically never play, D'You Know What I Mean, All Around The World, Stop Crying Your Heart Out... Those songs could be obvious choices for a band playing all the hits at their gigs, but I think they try at least a bit to make it unpredictable. _________________ "If you're not in it to become bigger than The Beatles then it's just a hobby" - Noel Gallagher

I was speaking of their most recent tour. This was the setlist (I don't think it changed): Turn Up The Sun Lyla Bring It On Down Morning Glory Cigarettes & Alcohol The Importance Of Being Idle The Masterplan Songbird A Bell Will Ring Acquiesce Live Forever Mucky Fingers Wonderwall Champagne Supernova Rock 'n' Roll Star Supersonic The Meaning Of Soul Don't Look Back In Anger My Generation Not counting the songs from DBTT and My Generation, every song they played was a single, with the exception of Bring It On Down, and two songs from The Masterplan, which are both still incredibly popular Oasis songs. Not to mention they didn't play anything from Be Here Now or Standing On the Shoulder of Giants, and only played one song from Heathen Chemistry. If they had dropped Gas Panic or My Big Mouth or Let's All Make Believe in the middle of there, then we might be getting somewhere. It would also be nice if they changed their setlist from show to show. _________________
