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.

Unfortunately I don’t think they’ll be playing at the Venue any more.

Saw them at The Elephant & Castle Coronet, night Liverpool won the Champions league on pens after being 0-3 down , they even waited till pens had finished before coming on stage to ‘ you’ll never walk alone ‘ ( I shit you not ) Unreal Night .
Saw them in Edinburgh last night. Saw a Charlton fan sporting the new away shirt, from a distance. Sensational show and I’m not sure I’ll attend a better concert for the rest of my life. I would urge anyone who’s been put off by the prices to cough up as if you love their music, it’s a moment not to be missed.

Any Lifers heading over the pond for the North American shows? Flying to Toronto tomorrow (thank god i didn't book Air Canada) and from what I have heard its gonna be a hell of a show.

I was in Dublin over the weekend and went to see them Sunday. There whole thing was out of this world good. Without doubt the best night of my life. I can't get over it four days later. It's hard to put in to words, it was like stepping back in to the 90's for 3 days. No drama, everybody having a good time and everybody on the same page. I was at Knebworth but this was different. We all loved Oasis back then, we need Oasis now. I needed it. It was more than a gig for many of us.
croke park equally as amazing, we got in early as was a pretty seamless journey in managed to get a taxi to about 2 mins from ground and then could drink in there.
cast and richard ashcroft were also brilliant really good choices for support, croker trumped wembley as our seats were next to stairs and handy for loos and drinks literally could go wee and get a pint in 2 mins.
off to coldplay tomorrow night at wembley ( mrs bday present ) doubt it will be anywhere near as good but a gig none the less.
Saw them in Toronto last night. All I can say is if you want to be able to listen to an utterly incredible show without the dickhead count that tended to rock up back in the day in the UK, then head to North America. Missus is Oasis mad so ended up right near the front on the floor and other than the pot being passed round (its legal over here) that Liam was loving, I would honestly have hapily had my 10 year old kid down here. Everyone here for the music, no twats - an all round brilliant evening!

Richard Ashcroft was brilliant too
Wembley arena would be perfect
