General Comments

When I went to Oasis I was expecting a normal crowd of rock lovers but what I experienced was different as people got more drunk and people got more restless waiting, some started to fight, then when Oasis did come on (6 hours after I got in) I had to jump to get air, then at about 3 songs in I had a choice, stay have my neck broke, fall on the floor and be trampled or climb up and crowd surf out. I chose the crowd surfing option and escaped unharmed, but being the hardcore Oasis fan I am I ran back in but to a much normal atmosphere you would get at a rock concert. Overall they were brilliant but I only recommend going if it is at a seated venue or your a confident or heavily built person.

    Good god you can tell this guy is an Oasis virgin! I recently went to the Manchester gig and experienced the same as usual - total chaos. After the barrier snapping upon the first surge of 20,000 rowdy Mancs I realised the boys are back in town.AFTER 7 HOURS OF WAITING they kicked off with turn up the sun and proceeded to nail a full set list of absolute tunes old and new. I was also cover is flying cups of urine and ended up on the floor 3 times- do you see me complaining,and you call yourself a hardcore Oasis fan! so final thoughts if you cant stand the fire get out of the kitchen and stop moaning!

    But what did they SOUND like? What did they play? Were they good live?

    Frankly at a gig as big as that one, if you get near the barrier, you have to expect the rowdiness, the crowd pushing and the general bad behaviour. If you can't take it, stand back. You should have also expected the drunkenness considering the amount of time people spent waiting around, the typical Oasis audience and the bad weather in Manchester.

    Personally, I LOATHE large gigs as they never have quite the same ambiance, which is why I didn't go myself, but it would have been nice to have been told how the band were, rather than how the crowd were because Oasis have written some belting tunes in their day and played some pretty fantastic gigs.
