Fuck off Ashcroft you pie eating wannabe wanker. And when you’ve fucked off, fuck off a little bit more.

Not sure if you are joking or not . I like most of his stuff. I've seen some absolute shit on the tv about oasis myths. I even saw some crap about a bridge that casts no shadow. That song is about Ashcroft and he is extremely talented.
 
Seen them at Maine Road in 1996 , superb and watched Liam at the Co-op Arena last year who was excellent - wasn’t lucky enough to get a ticket this time round but have to say the atmosphere in town whilst working there yesterday was something I have rarely seen if ever , genuine excitement and anticipation , the stalls , the guitar sculpture , huge queues to buy merchandise , this was 5pm Thursday more than 24 hours before the gig .
 
Seen them about 20 times, tiny venues like the apollo 2k wolverhampton 1300 max, Watford coliseum 800 capacity. Barcelona, Amsterdam and across Europe. Numerous stadium gigs. That might of been the most enjoyable gig tonight, watching with my best mate and close family was quality. Loads of groups that were similar singing their hearts out was unreal.

It's because us parents, who are now in our fifties, brought our kids up right - City & Oasis!!

My daughter, who is 30, is a Blue and could probably sing every lyric to 90% of all Oasis songs

I'm a proud dad!!

Bit soppy this. My 12 year old said to me before school this morning, knowing i was going tonight - send me videos of Oasis. I was a bit taken aback and asked if she liked Oasis, she said duh she's listened to them for years in my car, which surprised me. She said she knew we were within an hour of our UK holidays destination when, I put Oasis on, I did. I didn't even realise i did it but as soon as she said it realised I did, the last hour was always Oasis and me singing badly and loudly. Without even knowing it we had our own little Oasis moment and memory!

I've now got to get tickets to take her to see them together!

I reckon this will be repeated constantly at these gigs, family too young to see the last time Oasis played together and Family having a unique moment watching them together having only heard them on CD /record etc before.

Reading numerous examples of older fans taking the younger generation who didn't get chance after 09 is great, and hearing how it's special in each way / occasion is great.

Musicians are not like footballers. Musicians are far better in their 50's than they are in their 20's.
They might be less creative in the studio. But, from a live perspective, after 35 years experience, they generally put on a better show.
It's an absolute nonsense to say Oasis between 1994 -1996 were at their peak. The drummer they have is better than Tony McCarroll. Andy Bell is a far better musician that Guiggsy.
If Liams vocals hold out, these gigs should be Oasis at their peak.

That’s bollocks if you look at Morrissey / The Smiths back in the 80’s / early 90’s compared to now!
Morrissey puts on a great show - but half of his tour is cancelled !

I can only go off my experience.
Stone Roses were better live at Heaton Park than they were at the Apollo in 95
New Order are far better live now than when I seen them in the 90's. That's even with no Hooky. Depeche Mode are a far better live now than when I seen them at their peak in the 90's. That's when they had Alan Wilder. The list goes on and on. It's the same for James, The Charlatans and so on.
You're looking back through rose tinted glasses, back to a time when you were young and you have cherised those moments.
But, if musicians play for multiple hours every single day, for 35 years, they get a lot better. They perfect their stage routine and put on a better show. They have better gear. It might not have the edge and vitality they gad when playing in the Hac, 40 years ago. But, they are better musicians. There is absolutely no reason why Oasis can't put on better performances now than they did at Maine Rd or Knebworth.
As for your Morrissey comment. The Smiths don't play together. Morrissey is not going to be better than the Smiths. Johnny Marr is a once in a lifetime guitarist, a generational talent. I guarantee you now that Johhny Marr is a far better musician now that he was 40 years ago.
