Oasis playing in Cardiff

[Wash DC Blue]

It’s a pretty big deal for Cardiff and Wales, Oasis kicking off a sold out World Tour in Cardiff.

They are far from my favourite band, massively overrated in my opinion.
But news wise it’s pretty big and I think that they are more important now than they were then.

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?

Yuk!

I once saw U2 for a quid. There were maybe 500 there.

I’ve never been switched on enough to the early thing.
Maybe a couple of years when I lived in Camden 1996 and saw bands like Pavement and Wico at ULU etc..

I did see The White Stripes at a tiny venue in Bristol just before they went big, to be fair.

Don’t ever recall them playing the Ice Rink. They played the CIA in March 96. The night I went Liam cut the gig short after about half an hour as he was supposedly unwell. Then he was in the window in Jurys and the fans were singing back and forth to him. I wasn’t. I was tamping having just paid treble face value for a ticket off a scouser outside.

I saw them at the Top Rank in spring 94. Think it was around the same time they played at TJs, but doesn't seem as well documented as their Newport gig. I tried to get a ticket for this weekend but aren't too bothered that I didn't get one.

If a fight doesn't break out before the first song.
