Who cares how much of it was for show: after dispatching with on-the-nose opener “Hello” (“it’s good to be back”), they launched into raucous B-side and fan favourite “Acquiesce,” the only duet in their canon, with a clear message of fraternal bond.
Oasis are back, but in many ways, they were never really gone. Since the infamous backstage fight in Paris in August 2009, the Gallaghers have continued to cast a long shadow over British music, with brilliant songs sewn into the fabric of our lives and the entertaining/childish/depressing (delete as appropriate) soap opera of their relationship a constant fixture.
Oasis was more than the music; it was an attitude, a feeling, a way of life. It was tangible in Cardiff all day: bars were full by 2pm; the city centre was a cross-generational sea kitted out in Oasis clothing, football shirts and bucket hats, those nostalgic for the warm embrace of youth shoulder-to-shoulder with those not even born when Definitely Maybe and (What’s the Story) Morning Glory changed music. And it was just as long since Oasis sounded this alive, a chasm away from the post-peak noughties version trudging along often joylessly to increasingly aggro crowds (although even sat in the stands pints often rained down.)
After the barrage, Noel’s solo slot, arriving earlier than usual, slowed things with melancholy B-sides “Talk Tonight” and “Half the World Away,” sang along like a family favourite. Trippy and expensive visuals aside, there were no concessions to the modern stadium gig. It was all about the brothers: Liam, in great voice, stoic and snarling, was in his element in sleek black anorak; the bearded Noel, who quickly loosened up, often looked on increasingly happy like he was remembering what this was all like. It was a thrill to hear them in unison on a mammoth “Slide Away”, the great 1994 anthem.
“Nice one for putting up with us over the years, we’re hard work, I get it,” Liam said before “Champagne Supernova,” their epic masterpiece that provided an epic finale. “Where were you while we were getting high?”, once a routine question, is now a wistful reminisce about simpler, headier days. Oasis, somehow, against all odds, rekindled that old spirit.
