HEY! Here is my review for the Febuary 5th show which was at West Palm Beach
Auditorium in Florida :o) It was the happiest day of my life!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Today was the best day of my life and I feel like crying but maybe I'll do
that later.
Ok so I'm wearing my Liam shirt which is the black one from India with blue
wide legs and my black imatation converse and my OASIS HAT!! And my hair has
two pig tails with the hat on top. And in my pockets I had two letters and two
colored pens (just incase I met Noel and he had to sign my stuff) and I had
the sketch of Noel that my best friend Shajon drew!! And i had my walet and my
tickets and my camera, and i think that is it.
So we get to the auditorium at 5:15 and we just go near this crowd which has a
tour bus near it... and we saw this guy walking towards a van and my sister
could have sworn it was BONEHEAD! So we were like 15 feet away and they had
that tape saying "don not pass" but who gacve! So we thought it was Bonehead
and I screamed "BONEHEAD!" hehe but i didn't tink he heard me. So then we were
just lookin at the people near the tour bus and we saw all these guards and
all there and we kept looking. Meanwhile behind us, a line was forming to get
in. So we told my sister we'd stand in line and gave her the cameras and told
her to take a pic of Noel or anyone who came. So we go there.. which is like
50 feet away... and then my sis yells to us "Noel Divya it's NOEL" and I look
that way and start RUNNING, running like someone was chasing me and I got
there near the crowd who were standing in front of the "do not cross" signs.
So I saw that they weren't letting us go so I turned, ALL BY MYSELF and walked
to the back of the tour bus and there he was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was
standing 3 feet from him and i heard security tell me i wasn't to go near him
but then I heared my sister scream from the other side "go take an autograph
or something.. so I go in front and I aam the FIRST person in front of him and
others following behind me and I shake his hand!!!!! (it was soo soft!!) and I
remove everythin from my pocket and go "oh my god Noel this is for you.." it
was the poem., and then he looked at it and he turned it around and examined
it and then he PUT IT IN HIS POCKET!!! and then I said " oh can you sign this"
and it was the poem I had for Liam but i just made him hold it and i gave him
my navy blue pen and it had the cover on it so I and he both were trying to
take it off!!!!!! (so my hands were touching his!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) So
then he signed and then I am still standing in that same spot and he is using
MY pen to sign the other peoples paper and all. And then I remove the drawing
and open it and ask him to sign that.. I said "look Noel it's you" and he just
signed it without sayung anything cos everyone was asking him questions too!
And then while he was signing other stuff and i was still hogging the place, I
say "OH MY GOID I AM STANDING IN FRONT OF NOEL GALLAGHER!!!" and then another
time I said "WHAT SHOULD I SAY???" And my legs were trembling!! OH MY GOD!!!!
I was also saying that I am the happiest girl in the world and at one point i
said, "Noel I love you" and he looked and me and said nothing but he did
smile!!!!!!!1 And then my sis said "go stand next to him and take i'll take a
picture" and I was like WOW!! And I went and touched his shoulder and i was
fuckin sooo close to him and i took the picture!!!!!!!!!!!! already she had
taken like 5 pics of him!! And his face was soo fresh and he was REAL!!!! And
he looked whiter and he looked GORGEOUS and he was a bit short but i didnt
notice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was wearing rectangle sunglasses and his hair was
perfect and he was wearing a sweater which had cream on top, then half was
light blue and a bit of navy blue
(love the sweater!!) and those black jeans.. yes the same ones which he put MY
POEM into!!! LOOK! I was face to face with this guy!! And I was like oh my god
oh my god out loud and it was oh my god!! I said when he was signing stuff..
"I'm never washing my hands"! Then he was giving back the pens cos he had like
two in his hand.. this one girl took her pen from him but then he said to
me!!!!! "here's your pen" !!!! aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!! that pen has NOEL'S
fingerprints on it! And he actually knew that it was MY pen!! Then when he
was leaving he shook hands again and I reached to shake his hand and i touched
it ans he was about to grab hold of it but it slid away and I touched his
RING!!!!! OH MY GOD !!!!
So then he left and we went running to catch up to the line and we were still
one of the people in fronT! And then we stopped and said oh my god a billion
times and we yelled and screamed and everyone was staring cos I was telling
everyone I met NOEL!!!!!!!!!!!! And then we just waited and made friends with
some girls from Ireland who were there to see Oasis! And ofcourse talking
about my luck with NOEL!!!!!!!!!!
Ok Well we were standing against the bar that seperates us from the stage and
there was space for the guards to stand so Terry was just walking around and i
heard people say he was Liam's body guard so I yelled "HEY TERRY!!!!" and he
said "hi" in his British accent and he SMILED!! he seemed soooooooooooo
nice!!!!!1 oh my god i am soo happy!!!
Then we were there foir an hour and at around 7:20 they took us in. They
checked us but I told the lady i had a camera and she just checked and that
was it and then i gave her my tickets and said "I MET NOEL GALLAGHER ahhh!!!"
And she smiled/laughed. And then we run down these stairs and into the stadium
and we went all the way in the mosh pit and we were like in the front front!!
And it was soo close to the raliing! i was only an inch away from the railing.
So we stood there telling everyone there too that we met Noel and then finally
around 8:30 Cornershop came on and they played many songs but the third one
was "Brimful of asha" and then we could see the roadies and all in the corner
of the stage and then Noel came and sat in the corner and he was enjoying the
music!!!! And then my attention was on him all the time!! Before Noel came I
was just thinking.. "oh my god i met NOEL GALLAGHER and got his photo taken
and an autograph and i TOUCHED him on his shoulders and his ring and his soft
hands" and i just could not believe it!! Remember we were right in front!! So
then they really got boring with that 25 minute song!! But I liked the guy who
was playing the sitar.. he was not the one who had long hair but the other
one. The lead singer didn't make eye contact with anyone in the audience and
he looked bored and tired. Then on the last song which i think was that 25
minute song, Noel came playing bass for them!! We were all yelling when he
came!! it was awesome! Then everyone left the stage and the roadies and all
started clearing and setting up the stage.
Then as the lights dimmed, people got closer to each other in the crowd and it
became really stuffy! And then the guy behind me said "get ready! we're gonna
be sweating likr pigs in 20 min" And then came all of the gorgeouses!!! Ok all
came and we were shouting and yelling and saying "Noel" and "liaaaam" and all
that. Noel wore a white nice shirt... with those black jeans!! My guess is
that he just had that shirt under his sweater. So then Liam came and he was
wearing all black.. it was i think black jeans and a black buttoned shirt and
he looked fookin ace like Noel! Ok Guigsy was wearing this long buttoned down
white shirt with i think black pants. And Bonehead came wearing brown jeans
with a creamsih brown shirt which loooked really good on him too. And Whitey
wore I think a black or navy blue shirt and I couldn't make out what color
jeans he was wearing but my guess is blue.
So they came on and the crowd was screaming.. along with me ofcourse and they
said their hellos and started with "Be Here Now" and let me tell you, Noel and
Liam looked quite happy!! Here is the set list :
Be Here Now
Stand By Me
Supersonic
D'you know what I mean
Cigarettes & Alcohol
Live Forever
It's Getting Better (Man!)
Roll With It
Wonderwall
Don't Look Back In Anger

(I might have missed one but I'm not sure. They are not exactly in order
either)
I *swear* to God Noel was the one who first saw me!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was there
singing and my hands were up all the time even though we were squished in the
crowd! See he was singing and he looked down and saw me and some others
singing and all and I kept looking at him and I guess he recognized me because
how many people does he see wearing an OASIS hat?? And he SMILED!!!!!!!! And
then from time to time he looked at me!!! And we were right in the middle so
we could see both the brothers! And so when it came to singing D'you know what
I mean, he said "this one is for the girls in the front here" and he POINTED
TO ME and these other girls!!
I could not believe it!! It was too much!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't cry at all but
it was like i wanted to because I was there seeing the best band and NOEL
GALLAGHER just dedicated a song to ME!!
On the song "It's Getting Better (Man!)" I could see Bonehead perfectly and so
I looked at him!!!!!! And then he looked at me for a few seconds cos I had
been waving and he lifted his eyebrows and
smiled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I was imagining some of this,
I wouldn't mention it but it's unbelieveable to me too!! All I can say is GOD
BLESS MY LOVELY HAT!!
And then I think it was Wonderwall..... Liam always looked at the other side
but he came close to us at the edge of the stage and he didn't look at me! But
then when he was singing, he ACTUALLY looked at me!!!!!!! That was because I
kept waving my hands wildly across, and i was the only one waving in the front
so it wasn't hard to spot me.. And then he looked at me and goes yeah yeah and
waves at me, imitating the way i was waving to
him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never
bullshit. I'll go to fuckin hell if i lied but i didn't! And you know what? It
was my hat!! My hat got me all that attention!! I LOVE MY hat!!!
I couldn't see Alan and Guigsy much. Guigsy was all the way on the left corner
and Alan was all the way back.
From time to time Noel looked at me but Liam looked again at me only twice or
something. I have to say, I am the luckiest girl in the world!!!!!!!!!!! I
mean who actually gets to meet their loves and touch them and get their
picture at a concert?? Not everyone! So I was truly lucky!!!!!! And have to
say to thank God because I prayed to him to let me meet the members of Oasis!!
The crowd was wild!! We all were singing to every song except some had
difficulty with Help. And they were swaying and it was all stuffy and we were
gonna fall and it was hot and all that but that didnt stop me from singing. I
was singing every song soo loudly because I loved all the songs and because
Noel loves seeing his fans sing with him.
I loved all the songs. Some really awesome stuff was Noel's acoustic! Stand By
Me was brilliant!! It had magic in it!! but every song played today had magic
in it!!! D'you know what I mean was awesome too,,,,,, and Noel and Liam
glanced at one another and smiled. how sweet!! brotherly love!!!
The greatest was Champagne Supernova. It was the last song and the lights went
off and the stage looked like it was filled with stars!! which made it
special cos it goes with the song. It was sung beautifully and the guitar
thingy at the end was one of a kind cos Noel was enjoying soo much playing and
playing. I could see he enjoyed the concert today. We impressed him. I have to
say that because this was one of the few concerts that was not sold out and he
thought we wouldn't know any of the b-sides. However, everyone thinks Noel was
surprised when everyone sang "Talk Tonite" because it's a b-side...
I was soo glad that they came back for an encore. At one point, someone threw
their sunglasses on stage and before the concert began there was a warning not
to throw anything. But thankfully Noel went and picked it up and said "thank
you". WOW that was great cos i thought he'd be upset!! And then it
unfortuanately ended!!!!!!! :o( I know this is the best day of my life and
the best concert and that I'm the luckiest!! It might never be the same but
I'll always have memories of this.
The people there werre selling all these different kinds of shirts and I
bought a baby tee for $27 which is awesome; it's the army shirt which has in
the middle saying Oasis in cream color and a grey t-shirt with Oasis in blue
for $22. Plus I got stickers and pins. Outside they were giving out free cds
and i took one because i thought it was an Oasis cd they were giving out but
it wasn't! For a minute I felt like a fool going so close to the van and
taking it from the crowd! hehe!!
That's all I have to say! Well it was quite long but I tend to give a lot of
details. Ooooooooo I'm the luckiest girl in the world!!!!!!
Divya, the Oasis lover and freak
