OASIS
Leeds: Main Stage, 21:30
'This ain't no f**kin' funeral' snarls Liam right from the start aware that
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^這還不是我們他媽的葬禮!
everyone has the same thing on their minds. Is this the last Oasis gig ever?
Are these Oasis' final moments of stardom? The hell they are!
A disappointingly lacklustre 'Go Let It Out' dedicated to Reggie Kray opens
the show. Liam's voice, although strong and precise, doesn't have the high
energy it could.
'Who Feels Love?' is the second song lifted from the fairly well- criticised
'Standing On The Shoulder of Giants' album and again there is something
unconvincing about the Gallagher's enthusiam.
It might have something to do with the tempremental sound that wafts
unsteadily from the stacks of speakers. All is not well. Feedback squeals and
crackling is just not good enough for the ulitmate headline performance of
the whole weekend.
The recently changed Oasis line-up, with new members Gem and Andy throttling
along, knock out 'Gas Panic' with what seems like less drive than they should.
"They played this before the Celtic/Rangers match yesterday", says Noel,
playing the intro to 'Digsy's Dinner' before going straight in to 'Roll With
It'.
Noel delivers all the between-song banter. Liam has very little to say.
Stalking the stage and pouting as usual, he seems pensive and there is a real
lack of his expected cocky chatter.
It's mid way through a cracking 'Wonderwall' that things pick up suddenly and
with a startling resonance. The band begin to loosen up and look like they're
enjoying themselves.
The sudden lift gives 'Stand By Me' and a sensational 'Cigarettes And
Alcohol' excitment that hasn't reared it's head before.
Noel's more uptempo mood lends him to comment on those split rumours. "We're
gonna split the huge amounts of money Vince Power is paying us and get
absolutely f**kin sh*tfaced!" he blasted. A sigh of relief is breathed over
Leeds.
Last song of the main set 'Live Forever' is dedictated to "the Leeds
supporters who got it at Turkey" and then they disappear.
Encores come in the glorious shape of the epic 'Champagne Supernova' which
was superb. Liam gets impatient that things are taking their time in between
tunes. Noel says "don't worry mate, if we over-run you can f**king buy this
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
place" to which Liam replies "I've got this divorce coming through I've got
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
no money."
^^^^^^^^^在作安可曲的時候,Liam對於曲和曲之間拖延的鳥事感到很不耐煩,
結果Noel對他說, "別擔心嘛, mate,如果我們延誤了時間和流程,
大不了你把這個地方買下來就是了哩..." Liam則回應,"我最近因為離婚
可是要負擔大筆的贍養費,沒錢啦!"...^-^~
And surely there couldn't be a more fitting ending than a rollicking 'Rock
And Roll Star'. One verse in, Noel calls a halt to the song, making the stage
crew train all the lights on the crowd saying "this is the last show of the
tour, I want to see all those people going mental."
Meanwhile Liam couldn't have chanted a more suitable lyrical finale than
'it's just rock'n'roll' over and over, if he tried.
After all that's quite right, whatever happens now doesn't matter. They came,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^
they saw and no matter how much they've been slagged off, they conquered. Get
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
in there! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Cheers!
最後一段讓我想起Stereophonics的"墓碑笑話"

A long moment. Very long.
Everyone waited for something to happen.
Nothing did.
