rock and roll with it

Some pictures taken with my phone from last night's Oasis concert:

This is Oh, who arrived at the venue with his fellow concert crasher both clad in similar Oasis polo-tees. Not bad huh? Die-hard fan leh!

When we reached the place at 7.30pm, the crowd was really small and the sitting sections were almost empty. However, lots of people were still streaming in slowly. There were so many Mats and Caucasians! Famous faces spotted (after the concert) include Cassandra See, Lim Yu Beng and ESPN football pundit Jamie Reeves. When the gig started just after 8.30pm, the Indoor Stadium was nearing capacity and it looked something like this:

We were at the lower priced standing area, so this was the best picture I could get of the stage:

For a closer picture, see here.

I may be biased, but I think they were good. Oasis is never going to be the type of band that goes pouncing around the stage, and yet they managed to rock the house down with most of their popular hits as well as songs from their latest album (but none from Be Here Now, strangely). It was so good they decided to name the building beside the Indoor Stadium after the band, ha!

It did seem, though, that Noel Gallagher was having a bad day at the office. He sounded like he was having difficulty reaching the notes, and was really quiet throughout the whole show. Nevertheless, the stage was Liam's for the short one and a half hours, but it was a shame that when he tried working up the crowd, most of the people couldn't make out or hear what he was saying in his heavy British accent. Only the Caucasians responded. Duh.

No matter. Just seeing his beloved band play made Oh a satisfied man. There goes another item on the Things To Do Before I Die list. Let's see what's next... Hmm, this should be interesting: Visiting a nude beach in the buff. Ha!

Oh, and the gig-alert bell just went off again. Up next: the extremely talented and wildly entertaining jazz sensation Jamie Cullum.
