After a assembly of headlines on the combat brothers was crowned with the words “The weapons have silenced”, Oasis appeared on stage to a deafening roar, opening with the suitable “Hello” and his chorus of “It is good that he returns.”
The brothers had a brief moment of the hand, but largely maintained their distance on stage. Noel, 58, focused on his guitar, while a 52 -year -old Liam covered with Parka, growled in the microphone with arrogance that has not been attenuated in the three decades since the band launched their first album, “perhaps perhaps.”
A crowd of more than 60,000 at the Principality stadium was treated with a two -hour set rhythm that attracted a lot in the first album and its 1995 follow -up, “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory”, along with a pure of later and sides of fans.
Song like “Supersonic”, “Roll with it” and “Rock ‘N’ Roll Star” sounded as thunderous as ever and caused mass singers.
“Turn around,” a Liam that bottled the tambourine urged the crowd before throwing “cigarettes and alcohol”, another classic. “Put on each other as they love each other.”
There was moving in “Live Forever” when an image of the Liverpool Football Club Digo Jota player, who was killed in a car accident on Thursday, was projected on the band.
Noel gave his turn to the main voices for several songs, including the moving “Half The World Away”, and the program ended with fingerers with some of the most durable songs in Oasis: “Don’t Looking Back in Anger”, “Wonderwall” and “Champagne Supernova”.
The multicolored projections, sometimes weakly psychedelic, formed the main technological accessory to a show in which the approach was directly in the songs. There were little jokes, although Liam paused between songs to verify the audience was having a good time.
“Was it worth the 40,000 pounds paid for the ticket?” He asked at one time, referring to the fight for the seats that saw some fans pay hundreds to see a show.
‘Very, very special’
The show in Cardiff initiated a Live ’25 dates in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Then, come in North America, South America, Asia and Australia, which end in Sao Paulo on November 23.
Before the show, the streets around the stadium were filled with fans who gathered in groups to sing the band’s successes and picked up cube hats with the Oasis brand to 35 pounds ($ 48) each.
“It’s very, very special, emotional,” said Rob Maule, 44, from Edimburg, Scotland. “I am here with three of my friends, friends of childhood, and we used to see oasis throughout the country.
“For us, it is something generational. It is a chapter of our lives,” he said. “And then the second generation, as people are taking their children. It is really special.”
Vicki Moynehan wine from Dorchester, in the southwest of England. She said her life has changed since she bought her ticket almost a year ago.
“Seven months of pregnancy will not stop,” he said.
Rock choirs without songs
Founded in the streets of the working class of Manchester, England, in 1991, Oasis was one of the dominant British acts of the 1990s, launching eight albums No. 1 of the United Kingdom.
The sound of the band was fed by rock choirs and the fuel chemistry between guitar composer Noel Gallagher, a Beatles and Glam Rock -loving musician with a skill for memorable songs, and the younger brother Liam.
Then and since then, the brothers have often changed the spikes, on stage, in the study and in interviews. Liam once called Noel “Tofu Boy”, while Noel described his brother “The most angry man you will ever know. He is like a man with a fork in a world of soup.”
‘An incredible absolute explosion’
The announcement of the United Kingdom tour in August caused a frenzy of ticket purchase, complete with error messages, timeline queues, discontinuous hopes and anger for the prices that increased in the last minute.
Some fans waiting online for hours at the Ticketmaster site complained that they ended up paying 355 pounds ($ 485) for regular foot tickets instead of the 148 expected pounds ($ 202).
Ticket problems caused questions in the United Kingdom Parliament, where the Minister of Arts, Chris Bryant, criticized “practices that see fans of live events detached by price increases.” Since then, the Britain competition regulator has threatened Ticketmaster, which sold around 900,000 Oasis tickets, with legal actions.
No plans have been announced for Oasis to record any new music, and the tour is presented as a single.
The music writer John Aizlewood said it is an opportunity for Oasis to “attend the band” of the band and remember people the power of the Oasis brand.
“There should be a feeling of great joy and affirmation of life about these shows. And I think they can only play it well, then that can be a great burnished of their legacy,” he said. “(There is) this durable love for oasis, and love means money.”
Fans were determined to enjoy the moment.
“I am the older brother of four brothers, so I know they will fall,” said Stephen Truscott, of Middlesbrough in the northeast of England. “(But) the first night, they will have an incredible absolute explosion. It will be the best.”
