E Center in Camden, New Jersey

The E Center in Camden, New Jersey was the host to Oasis tonight. Their song list included Don't Look Back in Anger, Roll With It, Live Forever, Cigarettes and Alcohol, Wonderwall, D'You Know What I Mean, Stand By Me, Rock 'n' Roll Star, Shakermaker, Supersonic, Some Might Say, Bring It on Down. Noel performed a great acoustic rendition of the Bowie classic We Might Heroes and Don't Go Way.

Also the concert was approximately one and half hours (which included one encore) the crowd was on their feet through the whole performance. However, Noel was a tendency to sing flat when he is accompanying Liam. But when he (Noel) sings alone his voice is just as good as Liam's although different.

I have never seen Oasis live until tonight and although I liked them enough (obviously) to pay to see them. I like them even more now. Their performance was tight and spot on. Their opening act which I have never heard before tonight was Cornershop. They had an interesting blend of classic Indian sitar music with British pop. It was a good choice for opening act. The crowd also responded well to Cornershop.

All in all if you are not an Oasis fan you should see them live. It is really hard not to appreciate their performance and their talents after you have seen them live. I have been lucky enough to see also kinds of bands in different venues across America and I would have to say production wise and entertainment wise Oasis is one of the best I have seen.
