Well never thought id see the day..i know its that rag reporting it but their generally right on these kinda things. I guess thats our multiple nights in Croke Park band sorted for next Summer then✌
I'm gonna try and get a ticket for Manchester too. That would be epic. Be epic hotel prices, but hey ho
Points to the Oasis discography…. a lot of pain and disappointment there…
In fairness that "Be Here Now" album was a big let down after the first two for many. It was just cocaine fuelled bombastic stuff. Noel is on record for saying he is always amazed at people who say that was their favourite album.
they didn’t deliberately hold back tickets. There was a bunch of suite tickets that went on sale cause box owners didn’t want them and the normal production holds. promoters don’t hold back tickets for a laugh, they want them all gone on day 1 if they can.
As long as he does not stipulate that it has to be the HFB repertoire, and the French wan with the scissors does not make an appearance I would be happy. I only like one song from HFB "The death of you and me" and that's it.
The only French person I would make an exemption for showing up, if Eric Cantona made a guest appearance for a performance of Liam's "once" with Noel backing. That would be laced with irony.
Certain tracks on that Album bring back some really great memories for me
Jesus that's rough, I was only thinking earlier who the full lineup would be. I'm sure someone will ask me how it's rough and that HFB are great musicians (I'm sure they are).
It's nothing Oasis fans haven't been listening to for the last 30 years or so anyway. I'm glad to see they can still provoke this level of anger personally!
That's more of an age thing though? Would you listen to "Be Here Now" much? I know I can't remember the last time I listened to anything from it.
But maybe something like "Girl in the dirty shirt" would be great live?
I always seem to come back to Definitely Maybe / What's the Story and a scatter of Noel B-sides when he was with Oasis.
It certainly brings back some meories alright. I remember being in secondary loving both Oasis and Blur, but lads who loved Blur would have serious arguments with lads who liked Oasis, and vice versa.
When you think back the amount of great bands in the mid/late 90's(even early noughties) was staggering compared to what's around today
Cocaine and listening to NWA. I remember the video for do you know what I mean premiering on TV and there being extreme levels of hype.
Heaton park is a terrible venue, its miles out of Manchester and a nightmare to get back from.
Thanks for letting me know! Not familiar with it.
Surprised they didn't go with the Etihad for Manchester given their leanings tbh.
Don't go away is an excellent song.
That's the one with the Helicopters roaring? Like a scene from a Vietnam war film. I suppose it got peoples attention anyway.
I remember My younger brother (massive oasis fan at the time) had a look of bemusement on his face when I asked if it was "Be here now" was any good. He had rushed out to buy it.
I did think the CD cover looked great though! I listened to it a lot initially. But I can't honestly say any of those songs stood the test of time for me.
Any word yet on how to access presales?
It's alright. But that became overplayed by the UK radio stations IMO as it was used in the aftermath when Princess Diana died, and the mass hysteria associated with it.
God bless your memory!!! Tha's exactly what happened. That, and Elton John.
I can still remember as if it was yesterday going in to hmv to buy be here now the morning it went on sale, mad to think it's almost 30 years ago.
Most bands have a difficult 2nd album, BHN was oasis' difficult 3rd album.
Nowhere big enough up North to host Oasis. It probably kills some of the Nordies that Dublin aside this is UK gigs only, and here they are playing Dublin for the Ireland leg of the tour.
lot of helicopters and people running about … a few smoke bombs thrown in too. What did it all mean ?
All around the world was a song Noel had from the very early days and was rumoured to be his masterpiece…. It wasn’t a bad song…. But it was a let down Oasis artwork was always great. I believe the same guy did all of it… or at least most of it.
The Etihad is unavailable next Summer, they are extending one of the stands there.
you can fit an extra 10-15k a night in Heaton, probably more flexibility with doing multiple nights as well
It's funny when you think about it the memories come back. Power of music/nostalgia.
This concert would want to be heavily using the first two albums - Liam's best solo stuff IMO. Noel's stuff does not excite me. He has said most Oasis fans hate his solo stuff. I can understand why to be honest.
Surely the two brothers singing Liam's "One of us" is a must? Given the content/context of the song and video?
The fella that did all the artwork is called "Brian Cannon'
He has a youtube channel called "Microdot" some real interesting stuff on it.
Not to be a party pooper, but it sounds more like a case of Liam joining Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds than an Oasis reunion.
I'd much rather see the Morning Glory line up. Alan and Bonehead are still playing very well, no idea about Guigsy.
Ticket***er never put up prices.. Is that against some consumer laws ? (helps with their business model of 'dynamic pricing' aka Gouging )
No, you'll see the price at the point of sale, up to you then if you want to buy at that price.
Suppose having the 4 ticket limit is fare. I'm guessing they'll do that 'Aisle Seat' bollocks
I'm guessing extra dates (IF they happn) could be the Thursday and Monday, would they be able for 3/4 shows in a row ?
He's either Married With Children or a Rock n Roll Star…. D'you know what I mean?
