REVIEW: THE LONG WAIT - FOR THEM AND US - WAS WORTH IT
Western Mail
|July 07, 2025
NOEL Gallagher once said that a music fan will never forget how a song makes them feel.
Noel says a lot of things, but on this point he’s winning. So for Oasis’ first gigs in 16 years (which is also when I last saw them) the anticipation was high.
I was 13 and 14 when the band’s first two albums came out, and their songs melted into my brain in an osmosis-like fashion. They still remain some of my favourite tracks ever and I can sing along with an almost unnerving dedication to What's the Story... from start to finish.
You could say my expectations were high. Were they met? Put it like this, 14-year-old me is very happy right now even if I can’t hear much outside of the ringing in my ears.
