:cheers:

I have been enjoying the concert videos all summer, but man, almost no one is actually seeing the band perform. They’re singing loudly with their friends in GA 100 yards from the stage. They all seem happy, so good on em, but I suspect most of these happy drunk twats are lying about what they actually saw.

I saw this band in 2001 and boy do i wished i was drunk as hell. But no, i was very close to the stage and sober.

Lucky for me Neil Young and Crazy Horse came next and gave me one of my favorite experiences in live music.

Last night in Toronto it started raining during “Stand By Me” and it was so fitting. It got a little intense, but “Live Forever” in the pouring rain was emotional. Great show.

Sort of why I have skipped this entire tour. Let those inebriates forget about it and the variable pricing die, and I will see them in a more polished state later. No rush.

I don’t drink and had a blast in GA, so I’m not sure what you’re on about.

Someone I was chatting with online argued that Oasis has more iconic songs than The Beatles. From my perspective in America that seems ridiculous but I was wondering what others think about it especially those in the UK. I’m a fan of both bands.

Why would you engage with this person?

I really wish Richard Ashcroft was opening for them.

This cage the elephant band is dogshit.

They used to be really good. A little bit normie, but good.

one song was a pixies rip off, sounded like Where is my Mind?

Another song sounded like kid rock.

Okay I have no idea what song this could possibly be. Sounding like Kid Rock is a wild accusation.

you think I’d hop on this forum and make shit up?

Spoiler: show

I probably would.

Great show in Chicago tonight. Liam and Noel sounded very good. Of course, the crowd being American at a stadium show, it sucked. But the band was awesome.

Glad to hear the show was good.

Why are American crowds so lame compared to other parts of the world? It wasn’t that way 20-30 years ago. What happened?
