went on sunday and it was absolutely superb. I've seen them about 20 times going back to 95 and including Knebworth and I think this was arguably the best I've seen (my memory and hearing are probably quite impaired now) it was great to enjoy something i first experienced in my late teens, with my kids now.
the other thing i noticed was the crowd has calmed down alot.. I was at Finsbury park as mentioned by a few on here and it was carnage.. punches all sorts.. but now I think those same people have grown up and our kids are alot more sensible than we were... ?
I was on the 10.22 from Wembley Stadium Station and home in Bromley by 23.25. I've been banging on about using Wembley Stadium Station for years on here.
How could you leave before the end??
I got a seat in a block closest to the station, so left half way through Champagne Supernova and was on a train in about 4 minutes.
Surely watching end of the gig is more important than being on a train in 4 minutes!
It depends for me. I've seen Oasis many times before and Champagne Supernova doesn't rank in my personal Oasis Top 20. So listening to 4 minutes of it (longer than the average song) and hearing the last 3 minutes as I exit the stadium was preferable to queuing up for some time, when you are in a crowd of 90,000.
It's down to personal opinion, but to me Black Sabbath's final concert with the line up they had and Ozzy's death a couple of days later has far bigger cultural significance.
Out of the two bands one is miles ahead in terms of significance to music than the other. The other couldn't crack America.
Oasis were/are very very popular in South America. Significance to music isn't all about the USA you know.
Went on Sunday. Amazing atmosphere and the band sounded great. Unfortunately I was too far away to see them other than on the big screens. I would love to watch them in a tiny venue.
