(LOL! EDITING a second time to add this line because sometime since I posted this yesterday, Rick changed his video's title from what I quoted for this thread's title to "My Strange Oasis Haircut Story." )

I think he means "greatest band I saw in my youth who are now doing a great reunion tour" - but I enjoyed watching this anyway because he's so enthused, reminiscing and also mentioning people he knows with a connection to the band. One very happy fan boy...though he was already in his thirties when Oasis released their first album.

Editing to add that Rick's done a few other videos about Oasis, none of which I'd watched. I just watched part of one I'll post below, though, since it has Rick talking about his favorite Oasis songs, including his very favorite, which is the same as mine - Champagne Supernova, which I posted the music video for earlier today, at https://www.democraticunderground.com/1034147633 .

1. Rick talked in that video about Tim Smith, his friend since the '90s, who'd gone to that Oasis concert

with him, and who later would play bass in Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.

I ran across one of those performances without planning to yesterday, when I was looking at covers of Champagne Supernova. Although that's my favorite Oasis song, I still don't like Ian's singing. I have never liked Ian's singing, and that's the reason I've never been a huge Oasis fan. Liam is often compared to John Lennon, but I was never a fan of John's singing, either (I loved Paul's voice).


Anyway, while looking at covers of that beautiful Oasis song, I came across this performance from Noel's High Flying Birds, with Tim Smith. I do prefer Noel's voice here to Liam's.
