Oasis playing in Cardiff

[Heathblue]

Whilst never a fan back then, although I've been out lately to see a few oasis tribute bands and enjoyed them, I think there is a public now fed up of manufactured and packaged music and would like to just go out and see instruments being played, singers singing and not miming, hopefully it's a start of the guitar music comeback, my lad has never been so busy giggling, he's not long finished his 1st of 3 gigs today.

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.

I want to guard against hyperbole…but every news organization has been gushing about it, even some putting it up there with The Pistols in Manchester, Prince’s half time show’ Queen at Live Aid as one of the greatest gigs ever.

That may well be over the top and of course they aren’t everyone’s cup of darjeeling, that being said Cardiff and Wales is painted in a great light and I really can’t see any other show that they do having the impact of last night.
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.

Back home, worth every penny. Mad for it.

Didn’t go but have been out with friends tonight who went last night. They had a brilliant night, did say that that Oasis really didn’t have to sing because the crowd sang every word. What a great week with the Blackweir gigs and Oasis for Cardiff though, it does put our city on the map.

What a night. One that will live long in the memory. Worth every penny.

If it is anything like last night, i will very surprised if you don't think it was worth every penny!.

It certainly was.

An emotional evening, as Underhill said earlier in the thread, it was the sound of our youth and last night provoked a lot of nostalgic memories. I even enjoyed my missus company for a few hours.

Cast, Ashcroft and then Oasis. Great night.

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.

What kind of sophistry is this?

There has always been plenty of guitar bands around but not mainstream. If you lad loves that type of music, tell him to listen to James & The Cold Gun, Slate, Eurekas, Soundwire, The Family Battenburg, Pigion Wigs, Dactyl Terra. All welsh bands. He might not like any of them, but there are plenty of guitar bands about
