Free Music Review: Melodic Sludge Wall of Sound
Hit: 5 Stars

Put this set on your stereo, walkman, whatever, and turn it up loud. Because this live concert by Oasis in front of 70 thousand enthusiastic "punters" as the British call them, in the last days of the original Wembley Stadium, is a pure wall of sound that amplifies the band's melodic oevre to mind-blowing levels. Some reviewers have called the sound muddy, poor, like a bootleg. No Way. What this is, is the feeling of standing in front of a 100-foot tall speaker at a monster stadium and letting the music shoot you into the stratosphere at Mach 5.

Oasis came virtually out of nowhere in 1993-94 and within less than 2 years were the biggest rock band on Earth, if not in the US. Former guitar tech Noel Gallagher's natural flare for melody stemmed from his wear-his-influences-on-his-sleeve adoration of the Beatles. Add inspiration from 60's jingle-jangle guitar bands like the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield, Glam-era 4-on-the-floor giants like TRex, Bowie, and Slade, and even 90s Grunge in a roundabout, competitive way, and what you got was an original sound gladly nicking from earlier acts- but in a clever, creative way. Re-inventing classic sounds. That is, until some of their later material started becoming too derivative and self-parodying.

There was a time when Noel and Liam proudly boasted of being the best thing since sliced bread, and though after a while it all got a bit tiresome, it was undoubtedly their pure chutzpah that helped propel them to becoming one of the biggest bands of the 90s. Not to mention the incredible tunes- just listen here for proof.

The controversies, especially from Liam's endless diva outbursts, ultimately made the band look foolish. But I guess that's what happens when you have competitive brothers in the same band- look at the history of the Bee Gees for example.
Liam's cocky, rougher edge comes across well in this set, with his cool one-of-the-lads comments and straining cigarettes-and-alcohol voice making him the perferct front man- a true rocknroll star!

Pick up this set, and roll with it.
