Oasis Band • Page 74

Piss cup, what is this, NOFX?

 

DEFINITELY plenty of cups being tossed around - but based on the overall vibe of the crowd, I don't think anyone was throwing piss cups either....

And for how long the wait was for beers .... I also don't know why anyone would even want to throw their full or half full beer cup!

The show was absolutely epic - but - either Oasis fans drink WAYYYYYYYYYY more than even Scottish rugby fans, or Murrayfield was woefully underprepared....

I left my seat the second Cast played their final notes, got in the beer line, and did not return to my seat with beer until the first notes of Bittersweet Symphony played (last song of Ashcroft's set). Yeah .... about an hour in the beer line.

 

Meant to ask but out of curiosity, do you remember when the "front standing" room got full? I imagine for North America and MEtlife, there won't be 4k people lining up before gates but just trying to figure out what time to get to Metlife.

 

Also aside from my beer complaints, I cannot overstate how phenomenal this band still is.

What a show. Just triumphant. And SO glad I got to see them with a UK crowd.

Edinburgh was absolutely buzzing and taken over by Oasis fans the whole weekend. And that's even with it falling during one of the already busiest weekends in the city with the Fringe arts/theatre festival coinciding.

Was also lucky enough to get into the Oasis x Adidas pop-up shop on Friday - I joined the virtual queue at ~9AM , was 660th in line... able to walk around and enjoy the city all day, then got a notification around 4PM that it was my turn to go in, and they were still pretty well stocked with merch. What a time.

 

The beer lines at Wembley were crazy long too but the show was phenomenal. One of the best nights of my life haha.

My friends and I travelled to Italy after and it was kind of a shock not seeing every other person rocking Oasis merch.

The pop up shop was well worth the wait. Kind of a madhouse inside but I grabbed some cool items.

 

We got on the Front Standing queue around 3:30 and it was already long. So long that we were afraid we wouldn't make the cut. But then we got inside and the floor was only a third full. So either my perception of the line was way off or everyone was just hanging by the concession stands.

I don't think the US crowd is going to be as proactive (or even aware) of the front standing thing. I think this time around for Metlife we might just get there at 5pm on the dot as gates open and see if we can still make it up front.

 

They're playing in NJ on my birthday. Was going to try to go but it looks like its not really feasible, and crowd wise, I don't know how it'll compare to the UK.

 

Also surprised to see these comments about long lines for beer. At Wembley we did several trips to get drinks and we would basically leave and come back before a single song was over. I think the trick is to avoid stands that are close to entrances and bathrooms.

 

Was at MetLife for MCR and enjoyed several drinks. The trick was to go to the bar that is essentially in an enclosed location up the escalator which I recommend if you are on the floor.

 

I know the tricks at MOST venues lol so it's probably just because I've never been to Murrayfield.

I actually spent the first 5-10 minutes scoping out FOUR separate lines before committing to one and probably just picked the wrong one. Hahahaha we carry on.

 

North American pop-up shops!

 

Got my time slot for Chicago.

 

Does the link mentioned take you to a North American store? Can only see items available for international shipping right now.

Didn't buy as much as I wanted to in London due to limited space in my carry on haha

 

signed up for nyc...not sure i'll actually be able to make it there though.. was hoping for american dream!

 

Pretty meh on most of the stuff that will be at the pop-up. My only real wants are the event shirt and poster, which aren't there to begin with.

 

Yeah I can’t make the pop-up store, but will hopefully get some merch at the show

For anyone that’s bought merch so far, what’s the fit of the shirts like? Also, were there posters available?

 

The fit of the Wembley / tour shirts fits me perfectly. Not sure if that helps. Posters were being sold at the show.

Haven't worn any of the shirts I bought at the pop-up yet.

Edit: The shirts have a more skinny fit, which is what I prefer.

 

Going to the NYC pop up on the 30th. London one cost me more than I wanted haha.

 

Leftover bootlegs up

WONDERWALL - BLACK

and over 300 more items

 

I know they probably won't play this live on this run of dates but I think the way Liam's voice is back on top form at the moment.. I think he could pull this song off live and it would sound fucking massive with the rest of band being sounding phenomenal at the moment live
