Man the show was freaking awesome! Luckily I avoided major traffic by leaving when Noel started throwing guitar picks...

I was signing and shouting... good times...

By the way, I never found the famous yellow SUV with Tuesday, where were you girl? I met noel mccartney and columbia 77 from this board and that was it.

Great show. I've been to three shows now. Atlanta 2000, Fort Lauderdale 2002 and now Dallas 2005, and I'd have to say Florida was the best, because of the spur of the moment acoustic set. Last night was great though...

I have been a fan of Oasis since 1994, and this was my first Oasis concert.... (sorry to say). This is by FAR the GREATEST show I have ever been to EVER. The show was awsome, the crowd was awsome, and Oasis was awsome!

I hope they come back to Dallas on the next tour.

Well folks just got back from the concert and had a awesome time. Got to meet Noel breifly which was a added bonus but wanted to let everyone know I taped the show its missing Turn up the sun and part of Lyla do to technical issues but I have the rest of the show Minus My generation so the show clocks in at exactly 74 minutes

This is gonna be the last one I think for a while as I believe my MD Recorder is slowly dying if not on life support at least lol...........

Taped this show couple great lines from Noel about Cowboys and the only crowd setback was some putz behind me yelling Talk Tonight! every other song

Review: Oasis still cocky after all these years

12:37 PM CDT on Friday, September 23, 2005


By CRAYTON HARRISON / The Dallas Morning News



The two brothers who lead Oasis have developed nasty reputations during the band’s decade of stardom.

Now touring behind album No. 6, the pair, famous for its squabbles and boorish behavior, doesn’t act out much anymore. The hooliganism is implicit; when Liam Gallagher stands in front of the stage, staring out into the crowd behind his sunglasses, you just know he’s thinking something rude.

Without that subtext, one would think Oasis was a model of restraint judging by its performance Thursday at Smirnoff Music Centre. The set decoration was positively classy, with muted lights dotting the back wall, serenely bathing the band in blue, white and gold.

Oasis, scheduled to headline this weekend’s Austin City Limits Festival, hasn’t departed much from its musical roots. The group still carries a torch for the Beatles, the Who and other British rock pioneers. It’s dependable, sure-footed music, full of guitar jangle and hip-shaking drums, rarely surprising but usually solid.

While Noel Gallagher handled lead guitar duties, Liam took care of most of the vocals, stooping underneath his microphone and lurching up to it as if trying to reach it with his mouth. His nasal, English whine has grown raspier and uglier over time, sounding endearingly roguish at best and cartoonish at worst, something like a drunken Oscar the Grouch.

He paced the stage, carrying a tambourine by his side, rarely doing a thing with it.

Liam’s voice rang out fine on leathery rockers such as “Lyla” and absolutely triumphantly on the call-to-arms anthem “A Bell Will Ring.” But it sounded worn and frazzled on songs that required a subtler touch or a sustained note, including big hits such as “Wonderwall” and “Champagne Supernova.”

Noel’s voice was much less weathered, a pretty tenor that maintained the band’s cocky sensibility but could handle some emotional range. As the group’s lead songwriter, he has a long tradition of keeping the best songs for himself, from the classic lament “Don’t Look Back in Anger” to the playful boogie of “The Importance of Being Idle,” from this year’s Don’t Believe the Truth.

Another new song, “Mucky Fingers,” had a funky piano stomp and spot-on timing by drummer Zak Starkey, son of Ringo Starr.

Opening act Jet is an Australian band with a hit (“Are You Gonna Be My Girl?”) popularized by an iPod commercial. The band shared Oasis’ swagger, and vocalist Nic Cester had quite a wail. Now Jet just needs a few more iPod-worthy songs.

DALLAS - On their way to the Austin City Limits festival this weekend, the English rock band Oasis stopped off at Smirnoff Music Centre Thursday night, bringing with them material from a great new album and their traditionally cavalier attitudes.

With fellow Brits Coldplay dogging them in record and ticket sales, now would be an obvious time for Oasis to resort to traditional, predictable crowd-hyping, if only to make themselves still feel relevant. It was nice, and somewhat of a surprise, to see the Gallagher brothers -- lead singer Noel and guitarist/singer Liam -- as casual and nonchalant as they usually are. At the same time, Oasis fans know that Noel isn't going to jump around or try to get the crowd to sing along; they know, and were reassured, that when he's not singing, he's just going to stand there like a pole.

And so it went at Smirnoff, where the band, with openers Jet and Kasabian, played to a crowd of about 7,500. They touted their fantastic new record, Don't Believe the Truth, via the opening one-two punch of the melodramatic Turn Up the Sun and the jangly Lyla, the group's current single.

Wearing sunglasses and a sport coat and singing in his pleasantly raspy voice, Noel embodied a detached-cool aura, barely acknowledging the audience -- or his band mates, for that matter. Occasionally, he hung a tambourine from his nose.

Liam got his turn at the mike with The Importance of Being Idle, a '60s-pop-influenced gem and one of Truth's best songs.

Visually, the show was stunning.

Soft and harsh lights accentuated each song. On the majestic Morning Glory, orange and red lights colored the stage like a sunset. For the rowdy Cigarettes and Alcohol, which Noel dedicated to "all the alcoholics" in the audience, twinkling white lights and purple rays created a Vegaslike mood -- fun but still a little dangerous. Yeah, same 'ol Oasis.
