Anyone attend the opening gig this evening and if so your thoughts?
Everything I’ve read so far sounds really positive
There’ll be plenty of detractors no doubt, but I’m now really really looking forward to seeing them at Wembley Tickets were stupid prices but I’d always expected that would be the case if they ever reunited; hope they keep their mojo for at least another month!!!
Set list looks a right old riotous walk down memory lane
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal
Friend was at the Cardiff gig last night . Great show apparently. Seen them in 97 at Slane Castle. Back up to REM . Very decent Also at Reading in the early 2000s . Foo Fighters played before them that night . Crowd had nothing left for the Oasis . They were still pretty good though.
I saw them in Atlanta in 2005. The venue was a smaller version of the Hollywood Bowl.
I've never been to an England away game, but this was certainly as near a feel to one as I could imagine. Although I find the Burnage Brats annoying, they were good!
I'm glad those who've paid gazillions got a show out of them.

I saw them before , including just before they split. Not the best band, or best live performers, but there's something about Oasis gigs - feels like 60,000 people on a wedding dancefloor belting out every word of 25 songs you've loved for 30 years...
Cardiff looked great, as soon as you hear Fckin in the Bushes and them walk out you start to get fomo - then you see the setlist and know it would have been great fun. Like you say let's hope they keep the energy going for the whole run because by all accounts they were on it last night
I'd like someone to interview Damon Albarn about it all just for a laugh - I always remember that rivalry as being quite large, and tinged with class and regional elements.
Oasis's first two albums far exceeded what Blur were coming out with at the time for me. But by the time Be Here Now came out I'd started to listen much more to Blur. Oasis had more intensity but Blur had far more longevity imho.
Have got four Spanish friends coming over to stay with us the night of the Wembley gig, so am excited for them but I definitely wouldn't have put out the money on those tickets at the minute. Should be a great night though.

Saw them a few times first time round, house mate was a big fan. Never a huge fan myself, but can't argue with some of the early stuff.
There was a Brit pop documentary some time in the 00s in which Damon Albarn must have been hungover or something for his interview, whilst Noel was on sparkling form, giving the distinct impression that Oasis won that war. But I agree, by virtue of being a bit more poppy and I'd argue more creatively interesting than Oasis, their stuff has definitely aged better. Oasis were always a bit pastiche anyway, and definitely sound 'of that time' now.

I think early Oasis were quite something. No coincidence looking at their set list from last night that all the songs were their early work. Which, I believe, Noel had written in his bedroom when he was 16 or something. Incredible.
I found Oasis quite irritating when they first came on the scene, all this Brotherly fighting with each got on my nerves, but at the time the Country and the Country's music needed them. I grew to like them and I got annoyed with some of the disrespectful snobbery comments about them and their use of easy guitar chords, take the song Columbia that only has three chords but It's a superb track. I've learnt to play a few of their songs because they are great songs 'Wonderwall' being an example. Working class lads making the big time Is fine by me.
My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.
Saw them at Wembley circa 2008/09 absolutely pony. My mate got tickets for the Heaton Park gig on the 19th. Even if they’re pony again - it’s a low bar, Richard Ashcroft is supporting - saw his Stevenage Borough gig end of May - absolutely fantastic performance, the fella is a legend in my book.
I saw them at the old Wembley in 2000. Was in a large group of mates for a long afternoon drinking in the sun if memory serves. Doves were really good as the support act and Happy Mondays too. Can’t remember the Oasis performance but who cares it was a truly memorable day overall.

Noel was a Hacienda regular and acid house devotee (and has often said the 'communal' theme in his lyrics was inspired by acid house and part of the reason their crowd warmed to them).
However it was only this week I learned that the Columbia riff was inspired by this mad Italian house track that would probably sit better on the Frankie thread.
The set list looks dominated by the first two albums and the better bits of the third, which is understandable / inevitable - but I reckon there was room for some of the 00s tracks that did match up to the 90s stuff, eg Hindu Times, Gas Panic, Shock of the Lightning.
No Stop Crying Your Heart out either, bit of a surprise.
Generally think Liam is a knob, but I did laugh when I read that he sang "there are many things that I would like to say to you, but I don't speak Welsh."
My brother-in-law was at Cardiff last night, sent me a few photos and videos. He was miles away from the stage but it still looked pretty good. Crowd on their feet even in the faraway seats.
At Glastonbury in 1994, I went to see Pulp on the NME Stage (I think it's now called the Other Stage) Oasis were the next band on (or they might have been on just before, details are a hazy!) They played their single Shakermaker which had come out the preceding Monday. They were already being hyped as the best new band around, I thought they were ok but I was more taken with some other newish bands I saw that weekend (still can't believe neither Tindersticks or Little Axe are playing stadiums!!)
Anyway the following year both Pulp & Oasis were headlining as has been well documented & I saw them both and they were both fantastic. Oasis had really improved as musicians since the year before. (Alan White on drums a million times better than the previous bloke)
The year after that I went to Knebworth but I thought it was awful. Sound was terrible and the place was full of scallies & ne'er do wells. Dreadzone and the Manic Street Preachers were good though.
My eldest is 15 and would've loved to have gone to see them on this tour, and I was up for taking him but we both changed our mind after seeing the prices.
To anyone on here that's going, have a brilliant time!

I have/had similar opinions of him but there was absolutely no denying his stage presence the night I saw them.
Saw oasis in 1995 at Earl’s Court and best concert I’ve ever been to, Liam was amazing that night. Also went to knebworth and the prodigy were unbelievable, where as oasis weren’t particularly good. Saw stereophonics at Finsbury Park last night, really good gig, although not a great venue

Saw Prodigy at Brixton Academy around 98, great memories.
I was there last night. Cardiff centre was good fun; just chilled and great pubs/bars. In fact it was a great atmosphere all evening; maybe to do with the age of everyone there, but also no large groups due to ticket demand. There were people from all over the world, whereas normally there would be a fair percentage of locals etc Having a stadium so close to the centre is a f**king great idea...who would have thought!..all the local businesses benefit and the fan experience is excellent Richard Ashcroft: If Carlsberg did warm up acts...underrated legend. His voice and energy are still great, played the Verve classics and some of his own...oustanding Oasis: Everything you wanted them to be, was them from the nineties, what's not to like...standard Oasis set with singalog anthems, ballards, energy, but now more love than anger, but delivered as if they meant it. For most people there it’s part of a soundtrack from their younger years and tunes like Live Forever are still as relevant.

I was at Stereophonics last night aswell and thought it was a terrible venue and far worse than when I saw Oasis there in 2002

Totally agree, me, Mrs Andybrat and two daughters in their 20s there last night and ll thought it was epic. Any band that finishes with Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova have to be special. Just back home, feel like I’ve been out on a real bender which is another good sign

Proper jealous but as I’ve said makes me look forward to it even more
