I was buzzing watching it last night. I still hold true to my statement that this was fucking peak Oasis (after Boney/Guisgy/Whitey left)
Hard to believe that gig was 20 years ago come October. Does anybody remember what night was on PPV? I remember being on either messageboards/mirc and one of the members was at the gig and I am sure was calling someone else on the board to let us know new songs were being played (THT, HIABP) but that got me thinking. Did anybody have a mobile phone in 2001? Did they use a payphone? Fuck, I just can't remember the full story Was exciting times back then.
Yeah, probably not "their best ever" (that would be sometimes 94-95...1994 US tour perhaps), but definitely one of the greatest shows in Oasis history. That entire "10 Years of Noize and Confusion" micro tour was fucking amazing. The band was in top form and the setlist was fantastic...they played songs they hadn't played in a long while, plus She's Electric (!!), Noel's acoustic set done with the electric guitar, and of course the two songs from HCV which they premiered during those shows and sounded amazing. And yeah, we had mobile phones in 2001 Steve...I had one and I was one of the last people in Europe to get one.

Noel wailing his way through She's Electric in 2001-2 is one of the low points in Oasis history.
It’s an enjoyable set to watch because it was filmed professionally and the band were on form - so many of those early 2000s shows they just look bored.
But Liam’s voice is shot to pieces and the solo Dwayne songs are dogshit.
Was exciting times back then.
