Knebworth Anniversary Thread

Today marks the 17th anniversary of the 2 shows at Knebworth Park. What a concert it was. I remember hearing about it from Australia wishing i was there. Anyone attend any of the shows? Those were the days

so true, they went from 0 to super stardom so quickly. It's amazing when you think about it, there was no internet, no mobile phones, twitter, fb nothing and this band managed to become a worldwide phenomenon solely based on their music. They were one in a million

^ Absolutely! I dont think anything like that could happen again.

At that time, it was amazing and it's even more impressive now. Doesn't come close to those Maine Road gigs when I think the band were on real top form but It was Oasis crowning moment. They never got as big or Epic after that. Some support acts like Manic street Preachers and The Prodigy.  But Liam in that White Jumper was a low point.

Definitely.

I often wish they sounded the same at Knebworth as Maine Rd - particularly the 2nd night. It would then be hailed as one of the greatest, instead of more for just the event itself.

That's a good list of gigs @kalas. I know all of them except the Lancashire cricket club one. Is there any audio/video for that one? I'll go look...

Shame at the lack of videos from such gigs.

In all fairness, the Knebworth gigs have never been released because they were pretty shitty gigs overall. But I love the extravagance of the affair.

I don't agree with at all. Do you mean performance, sound quality, set list, what exactly?

Good one. The performance wasn't great, the sound quality wasn't great, the set list was fine, but every Oasis set list is pretty well fine. The point is, there are better gig recording out there, so they never felt the need to release something that wasn't great.

Yeh there are definitely better gigs than Knebworth. Still better than most others gigs

Suppose I'd like to see a gig which we haven't much video for - Finsbury Park is a definite for me personally.
