Richard Ashcroft put a video from Saturday night up on his Twitter and you wouldn’t be human if it didn’t affect you.

Not going to add anything which hasn't already been said.. but it DID NOT disappoint!

Absolutely incredible gig, sound excellent, visuals top-class and the band was tight as!

If they play next year, I reckon I'll definitely go again to be fair.

Missus got me one of the Navy Firebird tops.. it's an absolute beaut.

Anyways, now the long train back to Sligo!

Surely theres an arguement here for the Phionex park next year, make it 150,000 capacity and do two or 3 nights.

Love this photo. Liam and Noel on either side and a sea of people with hands aloft, singing their hearts out in between them.

If they are doing Europe and UK next year I reckon they will be back here as part of it.

They are very proud of their Irish roots and I think the phenomenonal gigs at the weekend will help.

The big question I have is could it possibly be topped? It can't possibly be better, no way.

I told my wife yesterday that I had POD - Post Oasis Depression - and I still have it today!

As much as I love going to Slane and making a weekend of it, the PP would be so much more convenient for most.

I would have to disagree, I am no spring chicken but I have never seen that level of hype over any band playing in Ireland or the UK. Even U2 coming back for a gig or two in Croker would struggle to excite people the way these gigs did. From this forum itself, the pop up shop in Grafton street, to the days and weeks leading up to the gigs and to the actual gigs itself, it's been non-stop hype, but all in a good way. Oasis were the sound of a generation particularly for those in their 40s and 50s and even older, obviously I can't speak for everyone, but there is nothing musically these days or in the last 20 years that would excite that generation the way Oasis would, hence the madness of the last few weeks, or even since the gigs were announced.

Slane is a great venue, something magical about it, however it's a nightmare to get to, and get out of, so I would prefer Croker. However since I didn't get tickets for Croker, I will move heaven and earth to go to Slane if they do decide to play there, hopefully they will do what U2 did back in 2001 and play two nights there.

Surprised they didn’t do Belfast, not sure where they would play there anyway!

Im not an Oasis fan per se. I think a few of their songs are copied from stuff from the 60s & 70s.

However, I do recognise the crying. People link a particular song to meeting their first time love, remember when a song came out when they were younger & free to do stuff they cant do now. A holiday with the lads/lasses when Oasis was top of the heap. All builds into fervent & very real memories that tugs at the heartstrings.

Let me tell you a story. I was 17 years of age in 1988 & me & my first real girlfriend broke up. I was bawlin' so a pal said why dont you go & drown your sorrows. I replied that knowing me my sorrows would learn to swim. Fast forward to 1991 & U2's Auctung Baby comes out. Just read the lyrics of Until the end of the world. That blew my mind. Memories & favourite groups/ songs are indelibly linked & will be forever.

Wow, that looks absolutely amazing, thanks for posting that link.

My first ever gig was, as a young fella, U2 in Croke Park in 1985. Myself and my son went yesterday and entered early to get pit tickets.

What a gig, it's in my top three of all time. Slide Away and little by little were spine chillingly good.

RA was superb. Drugs and Bittersweet were incredible.

As an aside, RA's bass player looked and behaved on stage like Mani. Was it him?
