Manchester Metropolis Stadium – 2005 “Firstly, let’s get it out of the best way. The hair. It was a less complicated time, Kevin Pietersen had simply coined the ‘skunk’ look and I used to be experimenting with a neighborhood hairdresser who was an enabler. I am unsure concerning the shirt both, however hey ho.

“It additionally seems to be, by the look of my eyes, that I do not bear in mind a lot concerning the gig. However I do. Type of. I can bear in mind, Tremendous Furry Animals apart, the assist acts not being nice, so we performed a recreation of playing cards on the pitch.

“I bear in mind large queues for beer, which is unusual because of the quantity of p*** that was being thrown about. I imply, there was a great deal of it. In all places. Particularly over me, that stunning hair do/shirt combo and the again of my leg.

“The set checklist was not a basic. It began on Turned Up the Solar, had Mucky Fingers, a Bell Will Ring and the encore had The Which means of Soul. I do know they have been selling an album, however after I go to Heaton Park on Saturday, if it is a toss-up between listening to these ‘hits’ once more or being coated in p***, I will take the latter.”

“The identical group of buddies and I had tickets to Knebworth. It was our first yr of uni and Nathan had stayed all morning on the cellphone to get them. With my mum and pop away on vacation, the plan seemed set.

The flight landed within the UK within the early hours of Sunday morning. I had a couple of hours’ skip, then needed to get to King’s Cross for a practice to Knebworth.

“Dressed within the Oasis summer time uniform of sunhat, Kappa t-shirt and Adidas, me and my pal Harv agreed to satisfy pals Paul and Toby on the beer tent. Clearly, that did not occur as there have been round 120,000 folks within the queue.

“We had obtained our tickets a couple of months earlier after making precise cellphone calls to folks – quite than sitting on Ticketmaster’s web site all day. It value £22.50! Fortunately, that was within the days earlier than money-grabbing Liam and Noel selected to tear off their very own followers with dynamic pricing.

“What can I bear in mind concerning the gig? Candy FA. It was 29 flipping years in the past. I used to be drained and drunk. I bear in mind the Manic Road Preachers have been on at about 5pm and I lastly succumbed to Kavos exhaustion and fell asleep standing up. However as we have been packed in like sardines, I remained on my toes.

“After I awoke later, the precedence was dodging what we assumed have been bodily fluids in plastic cups and luggage flying above our heads. From what I’ve seen on YouTube, Liam, Noel and the boys have been good. And Stone Roses’ John Squire too. The very best bit – simply to say I used to be there. It was a particular time earlier than the world went to absolute sh**.”

Andrew Jameson –Some May Pay

Heaton Park – 2009

“I went to certainly one of their Heaton Park gigs in 2009 with some mates. The gig was nice however significantly memorable as we additionally obtained a refund.

“I used to be a scholar, so I had no qualms taking him up on his money-back assure and gratefully acquired it a couple of months later. Noel, a bit miffed that his untimely promise value the band £3million, later known as us all “cheeky c***s”. No regrets!”

Kelly Williams –Monobrow Glory

G-MEX Area, Manchester – 1997

“Within the days when Oasis posters smothered my bed room partitions, I used to be taken to my very first gig in Manchester by my dad and step mum in 1997. Wearing my Adidas trakkie, I watched in awe as an enormous globe spun behind my idols on the stage as they sang ‘All Round The World’.

“That is when my dad introduced we would have liked to hurry out through the encore in any other case we’ll ‘by no means get out of the automobile park’. I’ve by no means forgiven him for that, or for cringing me out along with his dad dancing within the crowd.

“However Oasis songs have been the soundtrack of my youth. I fancied each brothers in flip and undoubtedly had a factor for the monobrow. This time at Wembley, I am staying till the top.”

Studying Pageant – 2000

“I first noticed Oasis at Studying Pageant in 2000, simply weeks after my 18th birthday. Shock horror, the build-up was affected by rumours they have been about to separate up. The rain poured down, Liam was hit by a bottle, and Noel barely stated a phrase.

“However they have been good, with a stellar model of Fuel Panic residing lengthy within the reminiscence. What little of it I used to be in a position to piece again collectively the next morning, that’s, having seemingly left an necessary a part of my mind someplace in a subject in Berkshire.

“Finsbury Park in 2002 was simply nearly as good, however absolute bedlam. I bear in mind casting envious seems to be on the lads who had bravely climbed bushes to get a greater view, as a fella subsequent to me was sick in a cup, then hurled it in direction of the stage. Pretty. Drive of Nature by no means sounded higher – try the bootleg.

“However the much less stated about Glastonbury in 2004, the higher. Liam’s incongruous white parka was the one factor that stood out in a muddy sonic sludgefest.

“The well-known Manchester Metropolis followers obtained to play the Etihad in 2005 – I used to be there the evening the present needed to be halted as a result of a crowd surge induced the entrance limitations to interrupt. You may have gathered by now that Oasis gigs have been typically chaotic. And Heaton Park in 2009 was precisely that.

“My recollections of the final time I noticed the band (till their triumphant Cardiff comeback final weekend) aren’t nice. A drunk Manc with sideburns so lengthy they need to have been unlawful p***** up my mate’s leg, there have been fights in all places you seemed, and the swirling sound was atrocious. So good luck to everybody going this weekend!”

“I noticed them in 2008 at Wembley with my then-girlfriend (now spouse). I wanted a pee about 10 minutes earlier than they have been attributable to come on stage, and guaranteed her I might have ‘a great deal of time’. A rock n roll band like Oasis have been by no means going to be on time, not to mention early. I used to be flawed.

“Standing on the urinal I heard a booming cheer as they walked out on stage, adopted by the primary chords of the opening music (in my panic, I neglect which one it was). I then spent the following hour looking for my girlfriend whereas concurrently making an attempt to keep away from being coated in pints of urine (and failing each!).

“In between every music we have been phoning one another to no avail. We could not hear one another in any respect. In a really bizarre coincidence, I ran into an previous mate who I might not seen or spoken to in additional than years, and ended up on his shoulders in search of her, and I finally did.

“Nevertheless she wasn’t actually within the temper for talking to me. I daren’t inform her that I wanted one other wee!”
