At the end of last year, our kid LIAM GALLAGHER announced a handful of UK arena
shows (4 nights in London) for this month, to celebrate the 30th birthday of Oasis‘ masterpiece debut LP Definitely, Maybe.
All shows sold out in no time. TUTV was lucky to get
one for last Thursday, June 6, in London at the O2.
This was not a regular concert, it was a celebration of one of the greatest debut albums ever, by one of the greatest bands in rock ever, performed (including B-sides of the singles, a Noel tribute (!!), and Beatles cover ‘I’m The Walrus’) by one of the greatest frontmen ever.

– SUPERSONIC –
– LIVE FOREVER –
3 generations were present for a sort of Best Of The Oasis Proms. I saw 12-16 year old teenagers with their mum or dad or both, 25-40 years old fans who weren’t born or were too young back then to hear/see the Gallaghers & Co taking the UK by storm in the early 90s, and 50-70 years old people who were there when the band started their turbulent journey that ended in 2009.
All together, 20.000 fanatic fans welcomed Liam as a hero. Every individual present, (including me, of course), old and young, sober and drunk, sang every single word of
every single song along. It was absolutely fantastic to be there amidst that euphoric
mass. I never experienced so much love, joy and togetherness at a concert.
People hugged each other (I also got some), put their arms around the shoulders of friends/family and smiled from left to right and back. I’m still amazed, even after years
of going to concerts, that music still has that enormous power to unite people.
We all felt SUPERSONIC!
The set included some B-sides, a Noel Gallagher & his High Flying Birds cover
and The Beatles ‘I’m The Walrus, which Oasis played a lot in the early days.
