I think only the drummer is completely new to Oasis? Bonehead is quite prominent and a few of the other guys who were part of it later on are playing these shows as well. It's very much promoted as 'Liam, Noel and pals' as you'd expect though
If I was an Oasis fan I'd be wanting to go and see Oasis. Not like it's a band which had a revolving door of members. I would have far less interest in going to see Liam, Noel and pals.
It's being promoted similarly to when the Robinson brothers got back together and created a new Black Crowes line up to tour arenas & stadiums in the US with nobody who had previously been in the band. Which is strange to me when nobody can argue that this is a proper Oasis line up.
I’m not sure you’d want to see them with the original drummer, he was rubbish.
Now I wasn't there, but calling it the best they've been live since 1995 feels like hyperbole considering how much the Knebworth, Earl's Court, Gmex and Wembley gigs are still spoken about

Oasis review: Best they've been since the 90s at Cardiff comeback gig
The band stage a triumphant show in Cardiff, as they launch their long-awaited reunion tour.

But that's effectively what we are going to see. In terms of original band members, Bonehead is the only one. Both Andy Bell and Gem Archer are later additions after Bonehead and Guigsy left and the drummer is completely new and never drummed with Oasis but got the gig from touring with LG and John Squire. Aka, Liam, Noel, and pals

i'm not a massive fan, but i fully acknowledge what they did back in the day.
just look at the support bands. that's some line up, and a massive show of respect to them.
this gig is either a very brave thing to do, or very stupid. but i do hope it goes well.
it's amazing that they are all still around, that's a minor miracle in itself.
Us aswell next Saturday-Heaton park. If you are driving let me know where you managed to park.
As others have said the Ricoh gig was really the beginning of the end and seemed a bit effortless at the time but really looking forward to them both on stage again at last instead of with the separate bands.
Seen them both separately on a few occasions after the fall out. Couldn’t really get on with the beady eye stuff but High Flying Birds have a few decent tunes.
When we were looking at the time hotels in the area were over a grand for 2 nights which was just silly. We are heading up on the Friday and staying 2 nights and managed to bag a hotel for £210 but 30 mins drive away which I don’t mind for a saving of over a grand!
Looks and sounds likes they're absolutely bang on it. Fair f*cken play. Liam's never gonna be what he was but you can tell he's worked hard to be on a good spot. If anyone hasn't seen Supersonic it's on Channel 4 now. Brilliant film. Here's a great little interview with Liam from a little while back while we're at it...
Bugger found it but it had finished - if I hadn’t watched the shit womens game I might have seen it
Got tickets for Wembley because the daughter wanted to go… but never felt so un-enthusiastic about a gig before. Loads of people holding phones up.. in a huge stadium. Nah not for me.
Personal highlight so far has been the video of someone shazamming Bitter Sweet Symphony.
Nah, it was pretty much all the well known bangers which was the right call for a reunion tour. There’s maybe a couple I’d have changed but just personal preference. Crazy when you look at the monster set list and there’s still another half a dozen that wouldn’t have looked out of place on there
The first few songs look great, it all goes ridiculously downtempo after like nine or ten songs.
They’ve always done a low tempo Noel bit and they still slipped in slide away and rock n roll star later on. agree tempo does drop off, it’s all the classics though. You don’t start low tempo when people have been waiting 15 years for a reunion so the second half was always likely to be a bit like that
Not really a lot you can do when some of your best, well known songs are lower tempo
You literally just said there’s another half a dozen songs that could have gone on the setlist instead!Not really a lot you can do when some of your best, well known songs are lower tempo
We've ore booked parking through YourParkingSpace.com at a Sainsbury's not far away. Around a 19 min walk according to Google maps so should do it in around 15 as I generally walk faster than Google maps.Us aswell next Saturday-Heaton park. If you are driving let me know where you managed to park.

More than half a dozen. Not on the set list that have been regulars for them as a band and/or both solo
Whatever
Rocking Chair

Granted there's 2 covers in there but still regularly on their setlists throughout the years.
And this list isn't including a few personal preferences I'd have liked to have seen such as
She is Love

Sunday Morning Call
Be Here Now
I Can See A Liar
Headshrinker
Shock of the Lightning

Whatever was played but yeah, it’s crazy the amount of tracks they’ve got in their locker. I’d personally chuck shakermaker, Columbia, d’yer wanna be a spaceman, don’t go away and cum on and feel the noize in the mix as well. would’ve loved I am the walrus
can’t complain with what they went with though
