You should be OK, they left the stadium in different vehicles.Quote:

In your opinion, for some, like me, they are the sound of my youth and I’ve paid over the odds to get a ticket.Quote:

Those two enjoyed it.
As for 'mug punters', fuuck me the amount of adidas x oasis stuff on display was frightening. Kids doing so I can do, 50 year old men doing so need to be put on some kind of register somewhere.
Well played, Sir. 👏 👏Quote:

Looked quite the occasion and the photo taking from behind of them walking out together is going to be iconic.
Hope you have a great day 👍🏻
You'll love it butt.Quote:

Oasis were decent enough. A typical Oasis performance really, sounded ropey in parts but nobody cares as they're there for a singalong, bit like a karaoke in the Live Lounge. I'll be interested if Liam Gallaghers voice can do 40 more gigs mind.
My lad loved it, so it's points in the bag for me.
I was a big fan of the first two albums but lost interest after that. I had never seen them live before last night. I don't normally do stadium gigs and have never seen one in the principality. So paying over £100 for a ticket hurt!
I thought it was superb, bloody loved it! If i had payed £300 it would have been worth it in my opinion.
I am a man that’s paid good money for an experience I’m going to remember until the day I die. I’ll probably get more entertainment in the one and a half hours they’re on stage than I did the whole of last season watching CardiffQuote:

I was ****ed, but i can say that i heard Slayer live while getting a workout, and because i'm tighter than cramp it didn't cost me a penny, Rounded off with a visit to Aldi western Avenue for a load of 30% off items. I know how to live...... :hehe:Quote:

She must've been local? What the fuuck was she thinking about?
Attending a paupers funeral would be more entertainment than last season down the City 😁Quote:

However, if you like or liked Oasis and got a ticket, good luck... What a moment in history and from all reports I've read it sounds like they were very good, if that's what you're into, wonderful. Also, it's brilliant for the city and quite an occasion.
I won't knock people for going, and you never know, Bucks Fizz may also reunite and make a come back, intellectually and musically dwarfing Oasis.. Now that would be a gig for the ages.
We have 'Karen's' tooQuote:

Last night they were unbelievable LOL, genuinely night and day from what went before. Couldn't have hoped for a better two hours. That was gig 115 for me and up there with the best - just an awesome set, stage set-up, setlist and crowd. Only 3 songs from after 1995 tell their own story!
They're only doing the same as David Beckham, Gary Barlow, Michael Caine etc.Quote:

I went to the CIA gig back in 96, despite thinking Morning Glory not being as good as their first album. I lost all interest by the time their third album came out and would have absolutely no interest in seeing them this time round even if the ticket prices were cheap. But fair play to those choosing to spend their hard earned dosh on experiences that would interest them.
I go to fair amount of gigs still. Horsegirl in Bristol Theckla a couple of weeks ago was very good. Really looking forward to seeing Bodega in a couple of weeks at Bristol Trinity.
From reports of my Brother, Mates and lots of reviews it was absolutely superb.
That is all i have heard, classQuote:

People on Twitter banging on what a great place Cardiff is helped my 4th of July hangover today :)
I’m going to try and catch them in NYC I think.
