Oasis By Andy Squire
Ask anyone who knows anything about Oasis, and most of them would agree that they're not much of a happy-clappy pop band. Even before their opening song 'Rock 'N' Roll Star' started, Liam Gallagher was put into a bad mood by members of the audience throwing beer and objects on stage.
This set the tone of the night, with Liam singling out one fan in particular, snappily calling him a "fat boy" and "fucking uni boy", directing changed lyrics of songs at him, and offering to meet him outside for a fight afterwards.
Liam fronted 11 of the 19-song set, then making way for his brother Noel to sing 'Half The World Away' and 'I'm Outta Time'. Noel took the opportunity to calm everything down, requesting everyone to take a deep breath and pretend it's not happening.
Despite the awkward performance from Liam, his vocals were spot on, and the band were extremely tight musically.
The show was staged at the recently refurbished Roundhouse in Camden, free to everyone who had applied through an iTunes competition. Fortunately, the night was free from technical problems, which had blighted their tour in Manchester's Heaton Park, Wembley Stadium and Benicassim Festival in Spain.
