I've been reading Some Might Say. It really made it clear to me how insane the demand was for Oasis in 1996. Being a new fan in the US in 1996, I obviously didn't fully appreciate this at the time.

I am NOT desiring an Oasis reunion. But reading the book made me wonder. In a hypothetical situation where Oasis was going to have a one-off reunion gig at Knebworth. Would the demand be even higher than it was in 1996? It seems like a crazy question but to be honest, I feel the range of response would be 'not even close to the same' to 'even more'. I have zero sense for what the right answer is.

That was just insane. Times have changed.

Realistically, probably not, but might come close. Lot of people who are barely casual fans would top up the numbers. Don't laugh. The number of people I know who went to see Blur who don't even own an album and only know Song 2...I'd ask why are you going then and they'd say oh for the experience, be a good atmosphere, historical etc. You'd get a shitload of that lot for Oasis...especially if it's a one off gig. People want to say they were there.

Good points. That's possible. No question it would sell out.

All the Wonderwall-only fans would show up for sure. At least here in the U.S.

Given solo Liam did two shows there, I think a full-blown reunion could sell out four or five shows tbh.

It wouldn't reach the demand of 1996, but they only sold a tiny fraction of what they could have sold back then, as well.

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

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
