Oasis’ comeback was terrifying & spectacular all at once but there’s an incredible moment I’ll never forget
THE solid concrete floor of the Principality stadium is shaking so hard underneath my feet I’m scared it might collapse – but the fear is the price I paid to watch Oasis’ spectacular comeback.
Liam and Noel have never been in better form – both vocally and instrumentally – and from the looks on their faces the enormity of the final adventure they’ve embarked on felt overwhelmingly real.
The set list made me feel like I was being punched in the face – repeatedly – by the Nineties.
Liam’s vocals were out of this world – he ought to pie off Clarks and get an advertising deal with Halls Soothers because whatever he was sucking in rehearsals clearly paid off.
And Noel, who has never failed to impress me performing live, was the cherry on the cake with his masterful ability on the guitar sure to inspire generations of young musicians to come.
Like millions around the world, the only hands I ever expected to see the Gallagher brothers putting on each other would be when they were reaching for each others’ throats.
To see them standing as brothers in arms – albeit with guitars rather than guns – is a moment I’ll never forget.
