I still have this Vegas munkey on my back. I was front row, smack in the middle of Liam and Noel. I'll post up snaps and a full review later on tonight.

I was there. I was in the lower seating area but still I had a great view of things! Fucking awesome night. I found myself singing my heart out when CS fired up with my friend, who's also the type who just sits back and enjoys the show. Well worth the money.
Jilliam, how do you get so close every time? Do you just show up early or something?

Do you just show up early or something? If its a GA, gig, Im getting there early. If its seats, I always try and spend the extra cash to be down front. Id seen Oasis before, and it was always regular seats. Then when they played Coachella in '02, I managed to make my way to the front row, right infront of Noel, and WOW....since then, Ive made it a point that, If I'm not VIP (front row) Im fuckin outta there!

where to begin.. so first off, i was right up front one person off the gate,right between liam and noel.there were like 3 or 4 FAT motherfuckers taking up a lot of the gate area.it's cool tho cuz i was able to hit my flask and smoke weed without getting fucked with by security. ANYWAY, there was a mad rush down several flights of stairs to get into the general admission area.it was hectic.i made up a lot of time by racing to the outside and speeding past about a hundred people or so. let me say- Matt Costa YOU SUCK!!! fuck off-i couldn't believe that shite. how he landed that gig i'll never fucking know.boring ass acoustic slide guitar.horrible lyrics. Ryan Adams wasn't that great either i'm afraid.i just don't care for his music.the crowd seemed to be into it though.his bass player moves around like a fucktard onstage.awful.one thing i will say is he played WAY too long of a set.it would've been cool if he ended after six songs...try doubling that...BORING. on to Oasis- i've been a fan since '94 but i wasn't at the same place at the same time as them until they came through the hollywood bowl and san diego on the dbtt tour.i saw noel at wadsworth (LA) for the acoustic tour as well.the show i saw on saturday night blew them all away.like i said i was right up front so that makes it a quite different personal experience. identical setlist (obviously).they seemed to really feed off the energy of the crowd.they were talkative and upbeat.everything was so fucking loud and perfect right at the front.i went hoarse singing along to every word.i could see andy and gem giving each other the nod like "yeah this fucking crowd is good". it really does make a huge difference.liam pretty much stood right in front of our section the ENTIRE show.it was so fucking surreal.he gave his tambourine to some fat little kid right on the gate.this show wasn't 21+?? at one point liam actually said on mic something to the effect of "you all smoking pot tonight?" which got a big rise from the crowd.i'd like to see what others thought,but it seemed to me like they really played well and enjoyed themselves onstage.i recall gem and andy sharing a hug onstage toward the end of the gig. standout tracks for me were slide away,i'm outta time,i am the walrus. i've been going to tons of shows for years and this tops anything i've ever witnessed. and after the show...LAS VEGAS WAS RAGING!! with the big fight in town on the same night,shit was crazy.Beatles revolution lounge,the Belagio,MGM Grand,the Venetian...on and on until the sun put a damper on things.you can piss away money in that town like it's nothing. i have some pics from my iPhone, enjoy-

Yes, Gem and Andy did hug each other towards the end. I was right in front of Russell Brand who was singing his lungs out along with everyone else. I thought the Staples gig was amazing, but this was something special. A couple of guys to the left of me started singing the Noely Noely song which Russell reacted to with a big grin. Liam posing at each side of the stage at the end was too funny. The absolute rock star. Sorry for the rambling--still recovering.

Absolutely amazing night! I was up close on the left side, so I felt kind of out of the loop, but Liam finally walked over at the end of I Am The Walrus. Great show all around, Morning Glory was fucking fantastic! That was probably the best tune of the night, everyone was having it! And I think Gem and Andy hugged cos Gem messed up a bit on DLBIA. Wonderwall: I Am The Walrus:

Didn't notice Gem messing up. By the time DLBIA rolled round I was quite, um, impaired.
