the dreams we have as children/they fade away
I just can't let this go, can I?
I saw Oasis the other day... and it was both great fun to finally see them, and painful to watch because man, they've fallen hard since their glory days in '96. As one critic put it, it's a bit like bad karaoke rather than a concert.
On the other hand, Noel's voice (contrary to Liam's) is just getting better and better (IMO) and The Masterplan and Don't look back in anger were a joy to hear, they sound way better now than on the CD, actually. The four (?) extras had more energy than the rest of the concert put together, but I wish they'd played Acquiesce and.. I dunno, something like D'yer wanna be a Spaceman? or Fade Away or something.
I also wish I'd been old enough back in '95-'96 to seem them at their Knebworth gig(s). :p
