Yeah, I kind of regret being more of a homebody when things weren't as expensive (and my health was better). Definitely missing out on some fun things now because of how different circumstances are these days. Glad I was able to see blink-182 (and MCR) at least once back in 2011.
Completely agree. I looked at how much we've spent this year on concerts and while I always anticipate it being quite a bit, this year was my breaking point. I want to prioritize more smaller shows, try to find cheaper resale closer, etc. rather than buying up front a very expensive concert.
I just tried joining the queue to see availability, and there were 60k ahead of me. they’re either gonna add a 3rd night in NJ or they’ll finally announce that Boston date. The demand is crazy
got 2 for 9/1 MetLife! Was trying for 4 and kept coming up unavailable. hope some pals can get resale.
Realistically, they're going to play for a max two hours (Gallagher brothers have never been ones to over-extend themselves) and Oasis is notorious for NOT changing their setlists on tours. Big question will be if any BHN songs make the list.
They can play Wonderwall 20 times for all I care. Just as long as they play Some Might Say, I can die a happy man
tried to go back in and get one more for Chicago today and got put at 130k in the queue. Better luck next time I guess!
I wonder why they didn’t add a second Chicago show? Seems like with the demand everywhere, Chicago would’ve for sure had a second date too
Liam has been showing BHN a lot of love during his solo career. Even Noel playing Go Let It Out at Radio City was surprising. Since I'm seeing them in both London and NJ, I'm wondering if the set lists will switch up based on the markets. I can see Step Out going off in the UK but an unknown to most American audiences.
Yeah the UK vs US singles market being different in the 90's really drove a lot of different output styles. British bands tend to have a wider amount/variety of b-sides since, from what I remember, songs that were eligible for radio play HAD to have a physical single. In the US, songs that we remember as being huge hit singles ("Longview" by Green Day for example) never had proper single releases in the US and were promo only radio singles. Thus the UK market had a lot more B-sides, one-off singles in those days which is a long way of saying that I think the London gigs will be more B-side/non-album heavy. This whole phenomenon was the reason the band released The Masterplan in the US in the first place in 1998.
