My First Gig was Wembley Stadium 22 July 2000 and it was the best day of my life and here's my story.

Jen and I arrived at Wembley Stadium at 9:30am and we went and stood in the que to go in. There was hardly anyone there where we was standing so we was glad we was early. By 13:00pm it was packed there was thousands of people there it was unbelieveable i could'nt take in how many fans there actually was it was great. Cigarettes and Alcohol came over the speckers and everyone was just singing over it then Robbie Williams Let Me entertain You came on and everyone Booed and shouted Get Him off!!!! At 15:30pm we was all just wanted to go in and we was all standing there waiting for the turnstiles to open then this football just came up from the bottom and we just started throwin it back down the bottom and they were throwing it back up to us at the top. The football was then throw back up to us again but it hit the sign just above the turnstiles and everyone just cheered.

The Turnstiles then opened and we just all legged it into the stadium. Then this massive crowd of people just came out of nowhere and me and Jen got swept into this massive crowd. We ended up in the Pit the secnod row from the very front it was amazing i just could not believe i was actually standing there. The this man came on stage with a camcorder and we was shouting 'Oasis Oasis' and 'Who the f**k are you who the f**k are you well f**kin well tell us then' and 'Who's the w**ker in the black who's the w**ker in the black tell us who the f**k you are then' It was well funny!

At 17:40 Doves came on stage and they were absoulity brilliant at the end of one of the songs we all cheered and the singer said ' i don't mean to be rude but could you do that again but a little bit louder' and we all just cheered. 19:00 the happy mondays came on stage they were good Bez was walking along the stage and he was freaking me out coz he kept looking at us and all we could do was cheer he was funny though. Then half way through a song Liam Gallagher came running on stage and we all started chanting 'Liam Liam' it was funny coz Liam walked up to the female singer kissed her then walked to the edge of the stage looked at us all and then walked off. Shaun Ryder was'nt impressed but this was Liam Gallagher from oasis it had to be done!

At 20:30 Fuckin' in the bushes came over the speakers and we all just went mad it was excellant we was all chanting 'Oasis Oasis' then finally Liam,Alan,Gem,Andy and Noel came on stage. Liam was looking at us all giving us the famous two fingered salute while the thers were sorting them selfs out. Liam then walked over to the mic and shouted ' if you think i'm over the moon for being here then your f**kin' tripping' and then he said 'This is for Bob Geldof,this is for f**kin simple minds this is for all those other f**kin idiots who start, i'm glad you made it' F**kin live aid' ' and i bet you wish this was fuckin free in all' and then Noel said 'Can i just say peace and love to every single person in this whole stadium thank you very much this is called Go Let It Out' They then started playing Go Let It Out and Liam shouted 'This is lazy arse who has been sat on his arse al year'. We all just started singing and jumping around it was excellant. Who Feels Love was next and half way through he changed the lyics to Thank you for the sun the one who shines on everyone who deals drugs and theres a million years between are fantasies and fears i've got drugs. and then he shouted 'I an't no celebraity, i an't no fanny, i an't no dick head man i'm a rock start, i don't fuckin arse about, were only here coz of you' I ot takin out during Who Feels love so i watched Oasis from the side of the stage standing next to Sonia from Eastenders. Supersonic, Shakermaker and acqusices was just unbeleivable live it was excellant. Step Out was next and Noel said 'This is called Step Out if anyone is remotely intrested' It was during this song i could not believe what happened.

I was Stood watching Noel, Gem, andy and Alan on stage doing Step Out when i noticed Liam at the side of the stage looking towards the sits in the upper part of the stadium. I don't know why but i shouted 'Liam Liam' and i thought he won't hear me when suddenly Liam turned round and Looked down at me and started walking towards the edge of the stage towards me and Jen. I got my Camara and i was trying to take a picture of him and Liam saw me trying to take a picture so he knelt down and began posing for me waiting for me to take the picture, He was waiting ages coz i was having problems. When i took the picture Liam stood up and threw the tambourine towards me and Jen but as i went to pick it up Sonia from Eastenders did. I looked up at Liam and he was pointing At us and then at the stage going come here and we was like no you come here and he was like no you come here. I could not believe this was happening i was having a laugh with The one and only Liam Gallagher from oasis with no Security guards at all. I lent over the Barrier and then two Security Guards came along then. Liam then looked at me and jen and walked back towards the stage waiting to go back on. I shouted Cheers liam but i don't think he heard me!

Liam went back on stage and went up behind Noel and said 'Shall we let Noel Carry On' and we all shouted 'Yes' and Liam shouted 'You F**king Cheeky Bunch of bas***ds' and he then said 'Shall i come down there and join ya' eight F**kin Years and you not asked' and Noel went 'nine Actually but whos counting' Thenlaim said 'Is it really professional this gig, yeah is it, is it really f**kin smash hits, are you having a good time, is it F**kin pro? F**kin hope not' Then Noel said 'Once again i would like to express my peace and love to everyone this stadium thank you very much for being here, This one's called Gas Panic. Gas Panic as just unbelieveable i actually think this song sounds better live.

The sound was just massive i just could'nt get my head round the fact i was actually there in Wembley Stadium watchin oasis live it was mad. At the end of the song Noel said 'How does it sound out there, loud enough for ya' and liam said 'You don't want it to be professional, Genesis' Then Noel said 'Hang on a minuite don't f**kin knock Genesis, anyone who's got a bold headed drummer and looks like a tw*t for a singer' Liam then walked over to Noel and Noel said 'I was talkin about Phil Collins, Don't start' and liam said 'I'll start it in the Bedroom, This is for all the alcoholics and believe it or not right but Noely G is a bigger Piss head then i ever have, ever been, so this one's for Noel' and Noel said 'Don't that take some believeing hey! if there was 40 cans of beer in my house i was only getting 2 do you know what i mean, which leads me nicly on to the next song'. They then went into Roll With It. At the end of the song Gem and Andy started talking to each other and Liam said 'New Boys are havin a chat, Discussion' Then Noel said 'If i was still doing drugs i'd be paranoid as f**k man, I keep think Matt Deighton gonna come on and kick me off, The mind boggles' They then started Stand By Me which i think is excellant live!

They then played Wonderwall and just before they played there next song Liam waled up to noel and was whisperin something in his ear and they were both laughin and as Liam was walkin away Noel said 'F**kin do that again you Little twat' and they both started laughin and Noel said 'He's just apologised refusinly in my ear then, honestly he did' Liam said 'I apologised for makin so much f**kin money for him' and Noel said 'You don't have to apologise for that, anyway f**k that this is called Tax Man HA HA!' and they started playin Cigarettes and Alcohol and went straight into Led Zepplin's Whol Lotta love which was excellant.
Liam then went off stage and left Noel to do don't look back in anger startin off by saying 'Up for a sing song' and we all shouted 'Yes' he let us sing the chorus in which he replied after the 1st time 'Top of the world man' and at the end we sang 'Don't look back in anger, don't look back in anger we heard you say' and then he done it. It was brilliant i just love that song. Liam came back on and they did Live Forever which was Brilliant especally at the end when on the massive screen it came up with John lennons Face which was made up of writting which was going on through out the song. Then Noel, Gem, Andy and Alan left the Stage and Liam said 'Pain in the arse i'm not doing an Encore, i'm stayin here' and we all started chanting 'We Love you Liam we do, we love you Liam we do, we love you Liam we do, oh Liam we love you'. and Liam said "you know i'm in one of those f**kin moods, one of those moods you get in, that you can't get out off, f**ked up mood, yes it's true i am a f**ked up twat' and then Noel, Alan, Gem and Andy came back on and laim walked off. Noel then went into Hey Hey My My by Neil Young dedicating it to everyone who worked at Creation. Noel's Voice was amazing in that song. They then did champagne Supernova and then lastly Rock N Roll Star which saw me and Jen houting 'Tonight i'm a rock n roll star' at each other it was mad.

The gig was brilliant i just can not believe i was there seening it on the Tv Afterwards was just mad lookin at all the people there and going I was There. It felt great saying that coz i've waited 5 Years and it was well worth it. As for my Mate Jen she was just as mad about it as i was (She's a massive Alan White Fan).
Cheers oasis thanks for making this the best night of my life!
