Rock N Roll Star
Sunday, June 19, 2005
For all you Oasis Haters, piss of, last nite Oasis proved why they are the greatest Rock N Roll band on the planet. The show was at Meadowbrook which was fine except it drunken college kids were running amuk. We missed Nic Armstrong, he came on 1st and that would mean sitting thru Jet so we opted out of that one. I will check out Nic when he makes his tour thru and hits the stick which I hope will be this fall. Anyways, Oasis came out and played 3 songs from the latest cd and the radio favorite Layla actually sounded good. People have been dissing the new Oasis cd but once you see the tracks live, it makes more sense and I am loving the new one even more. By the end of the show Oasis had played 7 tracks off the new cd, I think that is a record for them when promoting a new cd. Mucky Fingers sound excellent live, The Importance of Being Idle captured Noel's ability to lead the band on vocals and Turn up the Sun started the whole show off. The crowd favorites were played, Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Champagne Supernova, Live Forever in full band mode, not acoustic. Columbia, Cigarttes & Alcohol, Whats the Story, Morning Glory were huge, stadium rockin wall of sound that was perfect note for note. Songbird and Little By Little made it from The Hindu Times and Fuckin in the Bushes from Standing but no songs from Be Here Now which suprised me. Probably the best song of the night was Rock N Roll Star, not a song I would expect a lot of people to know but the whole crowd sang along. This song is Liam's anthem, it wraps up all the cockiness, drug induced british swagger that Oasis is known for into one blitzkrieg of sound. Oasis's new drummer Zak Starkey (Ringo Starr's son) was featured big time on an amazing solo that drove the crowd wild. I was not expecting this to be one of my favorite Oasis shows since the crowd kinda sucked but its up there as probably #2. Musically, the Fox show is one of my faves, it was the last show of the tour and they kept playing but this one was loud, in your face, pure rock n roll. It has been years since I have seen Oasis like this, even all you haters would be reconsidering had you seen this show. If Oasis comes back again on this tour, everyone needs to go, that way you can experience music at its finest.
