......Meanwhile, at Staten Island, a mellow (and noticeably sober) Evan Dando played a stripped-down alt-rock set with the latest configuration of the Lemonheads, including former members of the Descendents.

Already denser than the prior night's Killers set, the audience went manic for atmospheric British pop balladeers Doves, in the U.S. for another brief tour in support of their excellent third release, Some Cities. Shaggy-haired Aussie rockers Jet followed with an air-raid intro and instrumental jam that segued into the raunchy "Cold Hard Bitch." The band, who have opened for Oasis for the past month, played Get Born favorites "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" and "Look What You've Done." They even sampled a new song, the acoustic love ballad "Eleanor," packed with harmonizing ooh-ooh-ooh's.

With genre-bending alt-rock idol Beck headlining Coney Island on Sunday, Oasis closed out the Staten Island show with their massive Brit pop. The brothers Gallagher brought out old hits like "Fuckin' in the Bushes" and "Wonderwall," as well as the newer songs "Lyla" and "The Importance of Being Idle." On their Nineties hits "Don't Look Back in Anger" and "Champagne Supernova," singer Liam Gallagher stepped aside and let the crowd take over on the chorus. By this point, several in the audience had jumped on their friends' shoulders, trying to feel as carefree as they were when they first heard the song in grade school.

the part commenting about "on their 90s hits, "don't look back in anger"......" that bit talks about liam singing it. it was poor wording more than anything, i doubt the reviewer somehow thought liam and noel were the same person.

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

colincarrot: Hello! I'm new here and looking to download Liam Gallagher bootlegs from here and found this thread here - forum.live4ever.uk.com/thread/86703/liam-gallagher-tour-2017-2018 - with a list of concerts but if I click on any of the links... (1/2) Sept 23, 2024 10:47:13 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: Why has the banner gone black? Oct 11, 2024 12:36:27 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Halloween theme I reckon bonehead's barber Oct 13, 2024 14:08:59 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: spooky! Oct 17, 2024 8:13:01 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Well my Halloween theory might not have been true... I wish the banner came back in its original form
