“So America, it’s official: Are we dating?” Liam Gallagher asked the crowd Sunday night before launching into “Wonderwall” – appropriately the group’s only top 10 hit on the U.S.-only Billboard Hot 100. Liam took the crowd’s booming cheers as a yes: “America and Oasis, the new hot couple, yeah?”

It’s an on-again, off-again romance that just needed a 17-year cooling-off period to really reach its full, two-sold-out-stadium-nights potential. Below, find our favorite moments from Oasis’ final weekend in the U.S.

The first favorite moment was Paul McCartney being there and obviously enjoying the "fabulous" show: https://www.democraticunderground.com/1034151170

The Full Moon

Aside from the fireworks finale, the real champagne supernova in the sky was the full moon that was perfectly positioned to the right of Oasis’ big screen on Saturday night and to the left on Sunday night, adding a gorgeous glow to every special song fans had waited a decade-plus (or longer) to hear live. It added some extra moonlit magic to an already off-the-charts magical night.


The Crying Girl

After performing “The Masterplan,” the first song of the encore, Noel Gallagher took a moment to call out one particular fan on Saturday night. After asking her name and not making it out, he said, “I can’t really hear you, but this next song is for you. She’s been in tears all night, this girl.” The Rose Bowl big screen then cut to the fan, uncontrollably sobbing. “I hope that hasn’t been a review of the f–king gig,” Noel quipped, as she shook her head no and mouthed, “Oh my God!” If she hadn’t already been wailing, we’re guessing that getting “Don’t Look Back in Anger” dedicated to her by the band would have set off the waterworks.

The fourth moment was Liam dedicating "Live Forever" to "the people who couldn't be here" and the memories that evoked.

The fifth was wondering, after the US finale, if "the rabid response" to Oasis here might mean they would be back "for a visit to their long-distance love."

Some of the fans whose messages I've seen on various social media platforms sound like they're going to have a very hard time coping if this reunion tour turns out to be a farewell tour.

1. Imagine being that girl,

having Don't Look Back in Anger dedicated to you in front of 80,000 people.

2. Noel dedicating that song to her was sweet, and she'll never forget it. But for her sake I hope she'll

have a chance to see them again and won't cry all the way through.
