Ray Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 out of curiousity how long did their set last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
french_disko Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 out of curiousity how long did their set last?went on at 8:55 and played till 10:10. Came back on for a encore from about 10:15 - 10:30. I enjoyed them - particulary the older tracks though. That was also the most "Ned" crowd I've seen in a long, long time.

french_disko Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I wonder if the Ian Brown crowd will be worse.That crossed my mind. Judging by the crowd at the gigs I've seen him at in the last year then the answer would be "yes". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DustyDeviada Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 It was a really good show, interesting comparing it with Franz Ferdinand a couple of weeks ago.The Oasis gig was better, frankly. FF were more exciting in terms of movement onstage and the cool camerawork and stuff, but when it comes down to it, Franz Ferdinand only have a couple of songs with killer choruses, but Oasis have loads and loads, and a catchy chorus goes a long way.But I must agree, there were far too many bams there. Why break into football songs everytime Liam left the stage. Made me embarassed to be Aberdonian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToasterCoaster Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Walking down King Street last night (against the returning Oasis fans) I don't think I've ever seen so many obviously out of their faces on pills, since I last went to the Priory.

lynne Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 for a band of oasis statur i think an hour and a half is a pretty pathitci performance! Good gig though. My 7 year old nephew loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DustyDeviada Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 for a band of oasis statur i think an hour and a half is a pretty pathitci performance! Good gig though. My 7 year old nephew loved it!I know what you mean, I'm a casual fan, bought the first two albums and the latest but none of the rubbish in between, and perhaps more importantly I didn't pay for my tickets, and I enjoyed the gig.But if I had paid 30 quid I might have been pissed off at the length of the show.That said, i'm used to Mark Knopfler concerts lasting close to three hours.

Show length was quite good.On my watch it lasted til 11pm.Maybe I'm wrong.Yep, you're well wrong, I had dropped two people off at the Hardgate at picked Mrs Deviada up from Belomont Street by 11pm.Finished around 10.30, around 90 minute set, including break before the inevitable encore and pauses for bams to sing "Stand Free".

Paulscoconutass Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I didn't go but don't care much for their newer stuff - after Giants. I think it would be the perfect time to have a final tour, best of cd, and go their own ways; Noel would be much better as a solo artis. It's also shite that they never play anything from Be here Now, it's my favourite album by a mile.Town was also full of dicks last night after the gig.

rowan Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 All in all i got what i expected from the gig, a good groud surf and some decent sing along's! Fair doo's that the ned / waster ratio seems to be getting higher and higher but isnt that the case in most places now.. look theres even one infront of me now "oi Ned, fuck off"Oh and well done to Pistol Pete for his steril effort as the base of the three man totem pole..

Taylor_dB Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 They got a pretty bad write up in the EE. Basically questioned if they've still got it. I was offered tickets for free last night, I declined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well if that bastion of rock journalism the Evening Express said it was crap then it must have been. I'm sure the Gallagher brothers are devastated at receiving such a damning indictment from such a well respected authority on music.

slippy Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I thought the gig was good. Oasis are still a great band to see and have loads of great tracks. There were an awful lot of pill munchers there like. They werent on for long but they were still quality. Liams the man. I thought he done well to keep his cool after everything that was thrown at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardcoreMazz Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I dont see why everyone is complaining about nedsi went into this gig with my Taking Back Sunday t-shirt on and my long-ish hair and got no hassle at allIn fact i ended up standing with a group of lads, some of them wearing burberry hats, and chanting along to every songi found that it doesnt matter if you knew anyone there, you could pretty much go and stand next to anyone, put your arm around them and chant "Stand Free". Although it did get pretty shit after they had chanted it about eight times and i just wanted to hear the band playbut Shack were complete baws likeAlso i would like to applaud the people who were blowing up the condoms, they brought great amusement to me and my mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
