Where Were You While We Were Getting High?


Post rock blues. That's what we're suffering from. *winks at Pong*

What a night that was. The gig was kinda crazy, but in all fairness, it wasn't really because of Oasis.

Their performance was really just alright. Firstly, the set was more or less predictable, word was out they'd do a cover of The Who, and they actually played Champagne Supernova right after Wonderwall. Somehow that just didn't work for me, two of their most hyped-about songs from arguably their best album back to back. And they weren't very entertaining on stage. But that's what Oasis are about, isn't it? Plenty of lan-lan attitude. All the photos in my camer (taken by Boon. not bad eh?) showed Liam in the same pose. So, no point posting them up.

To their credit, they played lots of their older songs, which were really why so many people became fans. They played mainly stuff from What's The Story Morning Glory? and even Definitely Maybe. All my favourites, such as Cigarettes And Alcohol, Acquiesce, Live Forever and Masterplan (the latter two being really heartfelt). We huddled closely and held ice cream hands during Don't Look Back In Anger. Pity though, they didn't play Supersonic or Roll With It. They should've just not played any of their new songs.

The crowd around us was very enthusiastic. The crowd in front of us was very tall. Anyhow, everyone was screaming along to every single word and jumping up and down. I even got punched in my left jaw by this dancing maniac of a guy beside me.

Found it rather odd also, that the last song (My Generation) was played with the audience lights turned up.

After the gig we all huddled around the table and watched the self-made porno clip starring the now famous NYP couple. How many people get to do that the first time they all go out? Haha. We rock.
