If you listened to our 1996 Oasis Vintage Pop Stardom episode of the Greatest Pop Stars podcast, you’d know that host Andrew Unterberger and his longtime partner Lisa Ebe were planning on going to see Oasis on the Live ’25 tour in Dublin, Ireland last month — but were hardly positive that the Gallagher Brothers would make it to the show intact. But not only has the full band made it to each of the 22 dates on its much-anticipated stadium tour — the lads’ first tour of any kind since breaking up in 2009 — but Oasis has been receiving the best reviews, the most attention and the overall greatest feelings that it’s been able to claim since the mid-’90s, when it was arguably the biggest band in the world.

In this bonus Pop Star Performance Review episode of Greatest Pop Stars, Andrew is once again joined by Lisa to discuss the Oasis show they saw at Croke Park in Dublin — and also the second Live ’25 show they saw a couple weeks later, much closer to their New York hometown at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. They compare and contrast the two shows and the two experiences of seeing the band, and try to capture exactly what it’s been that has made this tour so special both for them, and seemingly everyone else who’s gotten the chance to see it so far.
