i'm drunk too. who gives a fuck. gives an excuse to post stupid threads bout vaginas cocks and gnomes. just fuckin do that instead

I know what u mean Kalas...Im not too crazy about the setlist myself...They really shouldve had a (even slightly) different one for this marquee gig. Everything else was mega though...The intensity of the crowd and Liam definitely OWNED New York City last night!

why should you NY fookers get a BETTER show than anyone else? arrogant cvnts!!!!
Oasis are gonna do their best every gig, just because it's at MSG don't mean sh!t!!! ya feel.
BTW, i hope they play a different setlist & play longer in Sydney!
Sydney is the best City in the WORLD! i want balloons too.

Kalas you're right, 100% right... and it's annoying when people are too up an artists ass to step back a see reality (go to www.ryanadams.org and you'll see JUST what I mean)...

they didnt HAVE to do anything different, but it's the simple fact it was probably never even considered that's the issue.. it's that attitude that has not allowed them to get bigger outside of the UK... as much as I hate Coldplay you watch, their MSG shows are gonna be something big and different...

and to anyone who thinks Oasis looks at NYC the same as every other town you're crazy, its the captial of the world, and most important city in the US. if ONE show is reported on this tour that will be the one... but they just played it like it was Antwerp, Cardiff, or Indianapolis...

THATS A GREAT POST..CHEERS

Liam didn't fuck off stage half way through, first of all the gig was at the end, one song to go actually (plus encore). And he didn't "fuck off", he fucking lost his voice and apologized. The real FANS should be supportive, not fucking pissed at him.
If you wanna be pissed at someone be pissed at the fucker who booked Oasis for 3 gigs in 3 days.

Now kalas, I don't want to go into another Guns N' Roses discussion with you but I'll use them to make a point. In 2002 they played MSG (sold out in 15 minutes), and it was, according to everyone, fans and band members, magical, some of the band said it was the best gig of their lives. They played the exact same setlist as the previous gigs, and still it was magical. Why? Because of the atmosphere. They didn't have to open with a different song or have a longer setlist, because just being there with a packed Garden in the greatest city in the world made the same songs more special. Like you mentioned, NYC is one of the most special cities in the world and the performers AND band know that, and that's what makes it special, not an extra acoustic set with Noel or a 3 hour gig.
Unfortunately I couldn't be there, but from the SEvERAL reviews of the gig (including webby's, which everyone respects very much) the band was "feeling it", and the audience was too. It's too bad that you weren't, probably because you expected something different even though Noel said they don't like to give a special treat to fans from different cities many times before. I bet you you won't see a 3 hour long set (with Noel acoustic) in the UK tour, even though in the UK they will be playing stadiums and the people there actually buy their albums.
They've been using the same setlist for all the gigs this year, and that DOESN'T mean they like all of the same. For example, Toronto had a lot of happy fans and the band was clearly having a great time. Chicago not so many, Liam even suggested some of the "fans" should bring a pillow next time. MSG, from 99% of the reports on this forum and others, was one of the great ones, and I would say it was probably their best gig in 2005.

As for Oasis playing live, it's not a big show with people running around or fire works or crowd chats. With Oasis it is about the music, and about seeing our favorite band playing the songs we love so much LIVE, right in front in our face. See Liam in flash and blood owning the place with his loud singing is gonna be SPECIAL to anyone who truly loves this band. ("I carry madness everywhere I go" for an opening line, how fucking great is that?)

Cheers

I totally agree with what Kalas said.
I wasn't at MSG so I can't talk about that gig specifically but I have basically stopped going to see Oasis live these days because I just don't think it's worth the effort and the money.
Don't get me wrong, if I hadn't seen them live before or only seen a couple of their gigs I'd be right there but the turning points for me came at Finsbury Park in 2002 and Nottingham on the same tour. Then I saw it again at Glastonbury last year on TV.
Basically, there is just no interaction with the crowd anymore, no set changes and it's all pretty personality-free play-the-hits-and-a-few-new-ones-and-let's-get-off type stuff.
This is someone who saw them at Maine Road in 1996 by the way so I know what to compare it to.
That gig was just amazing, as it would be because it was a very special gig for them, but that whole vibe of Oasis gigs has gone. The last time I saw it was at Wembley in 2000. I was there the second night and I know Liam was pissed out of his mind but at least they were TALKING to the audience a bit, rather than just standing stock still in silence most of the time.
I don't know whether they think it's cool or whether they just get a bit bored of touring these days, but still I think they desperately need to put a bit of CHARACTER back into the gigs and have a bit more fun - that's what it's meant to be about at the end of the day.
They need to get that interaction back with the crowd for me, and also change the set round a bit more, spring a few suprises and, as a lot of people on here have said, think seriously about reintroducing Noel's acoustic spot.
Rant over ;D

we all know that for ME it was special
you rule kalas
