John Walker's concert review of Oasis generated replies from both sides of the spectrum. Here is an indication of some of the responses received by Consumable:
Hear! Hear! This is one of the best written, well-thought posts I've seen in a while. All I have to say is ditto. I thought this show was one damn, live-loud-and-be-proud shows I have had the fortune of seeing. The music on CD converted to greatness on stage!
- Joyce H.Someone who drove 100 miles to see Oasis was highly disappointed, however...
Sad is the absolute disrespect the current crop of Anglo exports shows for their audience. At the Oasis show in Indianapolis, they left the stage after playing for a mere 20 minutes. Hardly enough to make much of a determination about what kind of live act they are.
It is short-sighted to turn a deaf ear to the new music being made today. I could almost have agreed with your preimse if not for the contempt Oasis showed for those of us who drove 100 miles and paid hard-earned money to see them - and if you hadn't felt the need to be insulting to other bands. - James G.
