6/9/98 Manchester Academy
Who can top Oasis?(Except for OCS, cos they're in a league of their own). One band and I never thought i'd say it after seeing the amazing Be Here Now tour twice. Like i said, one band. Embrace. I can't put my finger on it and say 'that was why it was a good gig'. It might have something to do with the fact that Danny spoke to the crowd, made sure they had enough water (unlike the security guards)and more importantly sang with power, in tune ("Who the f**k said i can't sing"-said Danny) and with pure feeling made it a mind-blowing gig with real atmosphere and good feeling. Highlights include Last Gas, All You Good Good People ("you can sing to this if you want"- said Danny) and The Good Will Out. Although I could mention the whole set of over 18 songs. And a big 'well done' to Richard McNamara for his solo piece ("He's only sang it twice"-said Danny). You didn't have to look so nervous lad. I could see it cos i was about 1 metre away from you. Oh yeah, and i got the plastic that the water bottles were wrapped in and Danny opened......... Well, thats my review, if Noel or Liam see it, erm, i'll run shall i? Hannah
