Oasis , ACL Sept. 24
No one seemed surprised much when Oasis didn't show up on stage at their scheduled time. Fashionably late is a fan's expectation of this band. When the Gallagher brothers and company did take the stage, they made their presence known with an array of lights and a pre-recorded throbbing beat. The show began with "Turn Up the Sun," the first track off the long-awaited 2005 release "Don't Believe the Truth." Liam Gallagher followed it with a smooth, catchy "Lyla," before revisiting the album that put their name on the map. "What's the Story, Morning Glory?" earned a roar from giddy fans of the 1995 album of the same name. "Say Maybe," another old-school hit, brought out the sweet side of the usually rough-around-the-edges Liam, who dedicated it to the people of New Orleans. Overall, a perfect melding of songs old and new kept this eager crowd amped and made this much anticipated show an ACL Festival highlight.
