July 22, 20251 yr Author anyway, the buzz about the place for the last 2 weeks has been sensational, I can't remember such buzz for a bunch of gigs no band on the planet could get close to what's happening now IMO no stupid flags or political messages, just people having fun anyway, any spares for london, would love to go again

Although this is Salt of the earth rubbish, its not the same as the Glastonbury middle class faux hippy rubbish. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Ae2M7RXfo/
July 22, 20251 yr My lad and his mates went to 'Gallagher Hill' on Saturday and he said it was a brilliant night. No aggro, sound was ace and lets be honest, Oasis aren't exactly a visual treat so job done. Like LH says, like them or not, no musical act in my lifetime has created this level of interest and probably revenue on this scale. They're massive.

I'm not saying Noel Gallagher is the second coming of Beethoven, simply that what they've achieved here is exceptional in music terms. I dunno, I think culturally this is a triumph of remembered and (unremebered) nostalgia at a time when things arent that great. No one is mentioning the puddle piss albums of the early 2000s like Dig Your Own Hole when they weren't selling huge amounts and struggling to keep relevant. Bit of time away, loads of 20 odd year olds who have never seen them and bingo - bucket hat billionaires. Don't get me wrong Definitely Maybe was a great album and for about 18 months they were fantastically exciting as a riposte to grunge and America and had some great songs like Columbia and Slide Away or Up In The Sky. They lost me around Some Might Say, that sort of plodding stuff that just seems to linger around like a fart in a lift. Then that D'yknow What I Mean was just it. A Northern Soul by the Verve just seem to replace that inventive Northern rock music - but then Ashcroft lost the super talented members of his band and started writing Lucky Man! Pah - don't put your life in the hands of a rock n roll band or something as a wise man once said 😁
July 22, 20251 yr Oh and my meandering point was they are both shit now as well and much bigger bands globally.

July 22, 20251 yr Regret not going to the hill, but wouldn’t have been the same. Seriously tempted to go to New York and kill two birds with one stone… what’s it like for resale over there; just the same?

Seriously tempted to go to New York and kill two birds with one stone… what’s it like for resale over there; just the same? Even worse I imagine. Starting prices were much higher but not sure if there’s as much demand. You won’t get a beer for less than $20 either

I was surprised to see this crop up as we didn't see even a hint of trouble, loads of people with young kids and stuff there just enjoying the night. Always some bellends about that act up.
July 23, 20251 yr Off to Truckfest tomorrow. Be interesting to see how new bands measure up to the old hands bought in to headline.

July 23, 20251 yr Author unlikely I know but if anyone hears of oasis spares for either london or scotland please let me know
