I am back from Oasis!!
My shirt/ dress and bag were soaked, and not all the sweat was mine. Heh. I went into a mosh pit with slippers and survived! Though remind me never to do that again. It was a bit intense at first, and I was worrying about squashing Padma's poster and my toe (which I injured this morning). But in the end I just stuffed the poster in my bag (It got majorly squished, which I will never stop apologising for, but at least it's an authentic squashed-by-maniac-Oasis-fans Oasis poster!) and gave up not trying to get my feet stepped on. The crowd was crazy at first, and there was a whole bunch of jumping and pushing, and I almost fell over but there were just more people to fall onto. But everyone got tired or something after a bit, and there was considerably less jumping and stuff. And everyone got completely drenched in sweat and nobody really cared about whose sweat they were getting on them or whose hair was in their face it was just OASIS OASIS OASIS. (:
We started out pretty far behind, feeling extremely short. Couldn't really see the stage, and most people were taller than even Padma. Hamsty and I had no chance at all. But then the Awesome Hamster pulled me to the front during the concert! Haha. We lost Padma for a bit, but then she found her way in front and we ended up being not five metres away from Liam Gallagher. :D :D :D Thank you to the Extremely Nice People who let me in front of them!! Because Hamsty would be in front of me with people in between, and we would be holding hands and then when they saw us they would just let me cut in front of them. This happened with a few different people. One guy even pushed me in front of him. So thank you!! As Padma said, people are pretty nice at concerts.
They played a lot of songs I didn't know though, which was sad. (Hardcore Oasis fan I apparently am not.) But there was Morning Glory, Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger, I'm Outta Time and Champagne Supernova. So awesome. (: People behind me were shouting for them to play Wonderwall, and before they did Liam introduced it as Some Might Say and they played Wonderwall instead, and everyone just went crazy. And they ended with Champagne Supernova which was (: (: (: words cannot describe. I was looking forward to them playing Talk Tonight, but oh well. THIS IS AS ACCURATE AS I CAN MANAGE, I AM SORRY IF THERE IS INCORRECT INFORMATION HERE BUT EVERYTHING IS A LITTLE BLURRY IN RETROSPECT. OH AND THEY PLAYED THE MASTERPLAN TOO HOW COULD I FORGET THAT!! So much awesome in two hours. (:
Liam is such a... rock star. When he wasn't singing, sometimes he'd just stand at the front of the stage and look down at all of us and just sort of revel in the total admiration/ adoration/ worship (I am not kidding when I use this word) of the crowd. Seriously. Oh oh and I thought he was wearing a trench coat, but Padma and Hamsty said it was a jumper! Hahahaha so cute and it had pockets!
And he threw a tambourine, which flew over my head! Sigh.
I am currently half deaf in the right ear which is a little worrisome but I suppose it will recover in time. I had no voice when the concert ended, I was singing/ shouting to the songs that I actually knew and attempting to scream and encore but I abandoned the latter two because my voice sounded so tinny to me that there was no kick to it. Hahaha. But my voice came back. ): I hope I have no voice tomorrow because then I can tell people that I shouted my lungs out for Oasis if they ask. :D
Sadly I cannot find the thing that connects the memory card to the computer and I am just dying to look at the videos but I can't. ): AND THIS DISTURBS ME but there was a guitarist in front of me whom I took the most/ best pictures of and I WAS AT THAT TIME UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT IT WAS NOEL but I think Padma mentioned that it might have been Andy Bell but I actually still think it was Noel!! Because I went to google their images and it's probably either Gem Archer or Noel but neither Gem nor Andy sing (I think) SO I THINK IT IS NOEL.
I am such a bad Oasis fan. ):
Where were you while we were getting high?
