09:00 - 13 December 2005 Fans lined-up at 7am to be first to the barriers as Oasis opened their winter tour at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre last night. More than 8,000 people packed into the Press and Journal Arena to hear their Mancunian heroes. The five-piece group's set featured everything from old hits to tracks from their new album Don't Believe The Truth. There was no sign before the gig that the Gallagher brothers had paid a visit to the Gar- logie Inn, despite a long-standing friendship with the owner. The huge crowd roared along to virtually every tune during the 90-minute set and even entertained the band with renditions of various Pittodrie favourites in between numbers. Proving the group have lost none of the arrogance of their youth, guitarist Noel at one stage replied: "Who are you again?" www.pressandjournal.co.uk/ |

After last week's outpourings over John Lennon, all that was missing was a live set from his most-hyped disciples.
And as the echoing piano chords on the recent single, Let There Be Love, show, Oasis have not forgotten their debt to the bespectacled Beatle.
It is as much in evidence now as it was in 1995, when they plundered the intro from Imagine, produced Don't Look Back In Anger and the world seemed theirs for the taking.
Comparing bands with other artists is usually a mark of complacency, but the brothers Gallagher have always been a rock anorak's dream when it comes to trainspotting the sonic rip-off. New album Don't Believe The Truth pilfers from the Stones, Velvets, Kinks and Stranglers as well as Lennon himself.
Most of the thousands who packed out the Press and Journal Arena at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre last night already knew what to expect though - honest, workaday rock'n'roll, the stuff football chants are made of.
In that sense they were not disappointed, especially since the new LP, while hardly a return to form, is at least a gesture in the right direction. Turn Up The Sun is as momentous live as it is on record, an elephantine swagger replete with huge, tectonic sweeps from the rhythm section.
But for those of us who rate Oasis not by who they imitate, but by what they should have become, something is missing even now. The sense of purpose that marked their explosion on to the scene in 1994 is long-since gone.
After two dead albums in 2000 and 2002, they have rediscovered some venom to defy their critics, but that is not the same as rediscovering their demons. Tracks like Songbird remain passionless homages to a lost cause and it is telling that it still takes an11-year-old staple like Rock 'n' Roll Star for their fans to truly raise the roof.
The problem is most evident in Liam, whose vocal cords sound shot to pieces. He is left either straining for notes, or flattening his familiar nasal Mancunian twang into shouts and verbal punches.
That they became Britain's biggest band at the expense of being its best will burden them for the rest of their careers. This was a competent enough performance, peppered with glimpses of what might have been, but it remains too little and almost certainly too late.
