this is what you get when you send a Jonas Brothers fan to an Oasis gig to write a review for the local web ezine.....IMO, webby L4E

There was time when a ticket to an Oasis gig was an all-access pass to a world of possibilities. After all, one of the Gallagher brothers might berate the audience, or quit the band, or maybe even assault a band mate with a tambourine.

And to think those were the good old days.

It’s not that the Gallagher brother haven’t flirted with greatness – they have – but no matter how many hits a band has, and no matter how many albums it sells, Oasis is proof that the ups and downs that come with battling booze, drugs and each other just isn’t conducive to being consistent.

Exhibit A: Oasis’ gig Wednesday night at GM Place.

With a crowd barely big enough to fill half the stadium, Noel and Liam’s greatest feat was managing to play an entire set without once acknowledging each other. These two are so disconnected they won’t even risk glancing in each other’s direction, in fear of accidental eye contact. The only thing worse is Liam’s disconnect from the audience, which often borders on outright apathy. When not singing directly into his mike, Liam spent most of the night with his back to the crowd, staring at the large LED screens, occasionally sipping his water at the drum kit or just sauntering around on stage wasting time until his whiney vocals were once again required.

The four other players in Oasis – really, who knows who they are, since more members have left this group since Quitters Anonymous meetings were permanently suspended – might as well be digging graves and, by the vacant looks on their collective faces, punching a clock just might bring them more joy.

But perhaps that’s what happens when you’re just the hired help and your two bosses are the much-maligned brothers Gallagher.

Perhaps, like the audience, the band is just biding its time until either Liam or Noel goes berserk and punches one of the crew. And honestly, that might have been kind of cool to see.

After all, it would have been the most exciting thing they’ve done in years.
