include it in a list of 20 of their best songs. It isn't anywhere near as good as, say, Champagne Supernova (which I love the studio track of, as well as the live performances; it's also Rick Beato's favorite Oasis song).

I admit, I let reports of the brothers Galaghers' behaviors color my opinion of them.

So did I, back in the '90s. So did a lot of other people. Oasis could have been a much more succrssful band. Their worst behavior sold a lot of tabloids, but probably didn't help record sales much.

Thanks again for giving them a second chance!

I should add that what's on the screens is also spectacular and often includes closeups of the band. highplainsdem Sunday #4
