Oasis Gig



Yes, finally they did come to town afterall, the last time when they were supposed to, they were curtailed by the Bali bombings … which they did say something about, but due to their very heavy Manchester accents I had no clue what they were going on about….

Anyways, coming from a true blue Oasis fan, the gig was worth waitingfor.. well for me lah. It wasn’t as energetic as the RHTCP’s concert but that would comparing chickens and ducks, this was a straight up, yrue rock and roll thing.

As it would be expected the crowd was of the late 20’s age group, seeing that Oasis’s heyday was in that excellent Britpop era of music I the early to mid 90’s. As usual, most Singaporeans would go to concerts just because they hear songs on the radio. Seriously, don’t waste your money….

There were people just sitting down, buy the CD then?



There was no denying that most of the crowd were clued in fans, though you could botice the subtle change in the raucous crowd’s volume as they switched from anthem’s to their current stuff, nonetheless appreciative.

For me, Morning Glory, Champagme Supernova and Don’t look back in Anger said it all about ‘em, to the point that the last 2 gave me chills down my spine when they were playing it, and tis was awesome to hear the crowd singing in unison. Wished they played the acoustic version of Wonderwall as well…

Great gig, one worth waiting for, too bad they didn’t play either ‘Whatever’, “Supersonic” or any stuff from their be here Now album…..

Note:
I’ve officially turned 24 as of now, another year, same old thing. As most people would know, had a bash last Friday for my closest of kin, won’t deny that I did have fun but did left a rather sour aftertaste, oh well… that’s life …. But thanks guys, for contributing to an excellent soiree! CHEERS! (btw, oo many pics to upload or to choose)
