I was a fan in the day. Still like them too.
I first met Noel Gallagher when he was a roadie for Indie band, The Inspiral Carpets. Their keyboard player (and band leader) Clint Boon I knew because at the time I worked with his then girlfriend. We shared a love of Aussie bands The Church and Hoodoo Gurus, and the recent Paisley Underground bands, so became mates and I would go and see their early gigs.
One gig was at Corbieres bar in town, and he called Noel over as he knew we were both Manchester City supporters. He was a decent lad at the time, and often chatted seeing each other around town or at games.
When he joined Oasis and they went mega here, I saw them a few times, from the tiny Boardwalk club to their two nights triumphant homecoming at God's Little Acre, aka Maine Road. I loved that they were open and loudly City fans, and to see them wearing City shirts in photo shoots and onstage even in America (Billy Duffy from The Cult did so first) gave them a big connection for me and many others. (This was when Man Un*ted were at their peak, and City were in the doldrums, unlike these days ;-) )
I loved and still play their first two albums, but not the rest, and no, I made no attempt to get a ticket for the gigs next year. I prefer to keep the memories of how it was in the day. Besides, I hate stadium gigs nowadays. It was of a time and a place for me.
Good luck for those going, I hope they enjoy it.
