One of the best live acts I've ever seen.

You must have got them on a good night.

Will be interesting to see if this is a one off cash grab, or if they want to have an ongoing presence on the circuit like Springsteen and the Stones. If they want the rivers of gold, they can't sleepwalk their way through the first round of shows in each country.

Got Oasis tickets for the Saturday night in Sydney.

My condolences mate.

 

[Zidane98]

Anyone hitting up the Pan Pac masters in Gold Coast?

7 games in 6 days of heat/humidity for a bunch of 40 plus blokes coming from veterans winter season in Victoria should be interesting....

Noel Gallagher was great live when I saw him about 10-12 years ago.

 

[Jatz]

I never thought I’d ever get to see them live. Would take a fair bit for me to leave disappointed.

 

[Jatz]

That's not as bad as I was expecting. Think I'll still give it a miss.

There's still tickets available for The Killers in December which I might go to though.

Where are The Killers playing? Only know their mainstream stuff but I do love those songs.

They're only playing Hot Fuss, out at Qudos on Dec 7.

Pretty much why a lot of people are going, then you have the wannabe influencers getting tickets cause it's the cool thing. Read so many posts/tweets etc by people who weren't born when Oasis put out their best stuff saying they have tickets.

Killers are 10/10 mate. Worth going if you can get a ticket.

Flowers is brilliant.

Wait, so you can't get tickets to a band if you weren't around when their best stuff was released?

No, more a reference to they have NFI who they are and are getting tickets to the gig.

You've never listened to bands that were popular before you were born or discovered them?

 

[SM]

What a crazy stance. I only discovered Oasis properly in the late 00s, I suppose that means I'm not a true fan.

 

[Jatz]

I get his point. It's more those that are getting tickets just to be 'seen' at the event, rather than for any particular love of Oasis.

Will look into it.

Off to see Pete Murray in December as well, this time just at a local venue. He was the first concert I ever went to many moons ago.

Only been to 3 concerts so far (yeah yeah, I know) and I'm about to more than double that in the next 12 months.

I'd fall into that category. As someone not overly interested in concerts or festivals. Never been interested in Triple J Hot 100 etc.

But alas not buying tickets

It's funny, I love music. Always been a big part of my life.

Never been into concerts though haha. I assume it's because my parents never really did it so it just never became a big thing for me.

I don't really get it. I doubt anyone is forking out $2-300 just because 'everyone else is doing it'. People may not be ultra hardcore know the whole song catalogue back to front fans of Oasis, but everyone buying tickets will be buying them because they enjoy their music.

 

[SM]

I'm seeing Green Day on my birthday next year. I'm a huge fan of this increasing trend with bands playing a whole album on the anniversary of that album, so they're doing Dookie and American Idiot which is great.

I don't doubt it at all, it's complete 'influencer' behaviour. If something is popular, they'll be there.

It makes absolutely no difference to me at all but I'm sure there'll be plenty there that don't know much more than Wonderwall.

Yeah not sure about that sort of concert attracting that many of that sort. I'm sure there'll be plenty there dragged along by partners who don't know it that well but that's true about anything in life. I don't really get his point about people being born post-Oasis as having anything to do with it though.

 

[Jatz]

Trying to determine whether I ask my heavily pregnant wife whether she'll mind me skipping out on her and the two kids for a night to see the Killers

 

[99 Problems]

Probably spent more money than I’d like to know on them over the years but I don’t think much beats a day out at a concert/festival.

I love a day out at the footy but would take going to a good gig with mates over it every time. Got tickets for Oasis and it will finish up a pretty solid year of shows coming up

 

[chef]

Got Oasis tickets, cost a shit load but I'm happy to spend it on things I like. Can't take it with you.

Surely get a parent to look after the little ones and give her the night off to come with?
