I’ll look back in 20 years on the enjoyable experience I had. No doubt you’ll look back with misery and regret.
Someone have a different music taste than you? Impossible that!
You seem to be trying to justify getting scammed by a couple of Mancs.
Like an OAP who hands over a wedge to a Nigerian phone caller.

My lad loved it, so it's points in the bag for me.

Re: Oasis playing in Cardiff
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 Cardiff

I do my running in Bute Park, went down there the evening Slayer were playing, very close to where i live. Couldn't get through to Blackweir so had to cross the footbridge over the Taff into Pontcanna. For a half mile stretch of the river i could here them clearly, so i was doubling back on myself for about an hour. 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:

Take a tape recorder and mic next time and you can do bootleg copies, do they still exist?
Last night at approximately 4:45pm on Westgate Street there was an irate female (rather podgy) lycra clad cyclist who was having an apoplexy as she couldn't get through the crowds.
It was a sight to behold to watch her having a hissy fit. In fairness the crowd were a rather sedate lot and looked at her bemused. She was lead away by the Police.
She must've been local? What the fuuck was she thinking about?

I don't want to get the Daily Mail readers frothing, but some cyclists are *****, especially the ones in 'Full kit' I prefer the scallies with an Uber bag on their back and a face covering, they do so much more for the local economy.....

Re: Oasis playing in Cardiff
Not my cup of tea and in my opinion the whole narrative (or what we now call 'vibe') of 'britpop' was one of the worst things to happen to British music. Britpop dominated the music industry and media at the expense of better musicians, in particular black and female artists. IMO it was quite a flag waving, shallow misogynistic time.
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.

A few Mates watched them in TJ’s, Newport around 95. I saw them in Cardiff at the Ice Rink around March 1996.
Anyone there at that gig, anyone see them elsewhere in their early day and anybody going tomorrow?
The March 1996 dates were in the CIA, the first night support was Heavy Stereo (Gem Archer's band) and the second night were the Manics. This was my first ever gig, aged 14. The Manics were great (first Welsh show after Richie vanished, and only the second since that sad event) but Oasis, despite me being a massive fan, were a little underwhelming.
Fast forward to 2005 and I saw them again at the Millennium Stadium as part of Noise and Confusion - they rattled through a shoddy 90-minute set which saw most people leave during their encore. Foo Fighters were on just before and basically upstaged them with a solid stadium rock show.
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.
Or do you have to receive a honour from the Royals before you can start avoiding tax?
