Kasabian pay tribute to Oasis at Earls Court

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Kasabian played one of their biggest indoor shows ever tonight (December 19) in London.

 

The Leicester four-piece played a 90-minute set to a massive audience at Earl's Court as they rolled off hits from their 2004 debut and their Number One album 'Empire'.

 

Kicking off the set with instrumental 'Brown Acid', singer Tom Meighan eventually arrived onstage dressed in a long black trench coat for glam stomper 'Shoot The Runner'.

 

The band then performed the likes of 'Processed Beats', 'Reason Is Treason', 'The Last Trip' and 'Sunrise/Light/Flies'.

 

The show, which was watched by Oasis band leader Noel Gallagher, also saw guitarist Serge Pizzorno and drummer Ian Matthews perform an acoustic rendition of 'British Legion'.

 

Later in reference to Oasis' Earl's Court shows in the autumn of 1995, Meighan told the crowd as he launched into 'The Doberman': "I'm not often lost for words but tonight I am. We were here over 10 years ago and we wanted to be in a rock n roll band. If it wasn't for the likes of Noel and Liam Gallagher we wouldn't be here now. If you wanna be in a rock n roll band it will happen. You will have your time!"

 

There was a rare outing for 'Aponoea' which resulted in the frontman changing the words to 'A-wop-bop-a-loo-lop a-lop bam boo' from Little Richard classic 'Tutti Frutti'.

 

Rounding off the show with 'LSF' a visibly moved Meighan added: "This has been the best gig we have ever done, I swear to God. Merry Chrismas and a Happy New Year. We'll see you at Glastonbury yeah."

That would be good. :D ^_^

 

I can imagine it being VERY pricey though. :lol:

I think there would also be a new record for how quick the tickets would sell-out too. :lol: It's still a very good idea, even if it was only a secret gig. :)

Oh yeah just a won off gig! That would be cool. :lol:

 

I think it will be a while before the new Oasis album comes out so it may be a while if they ever do a tour together. :lol:

In all honesty I'm not sure it would happen anyway, however Noel Gallagher has done a gig with Kasabian in the past. :D I think they should do a set where they take it in turns to do a song each and then at the end they could maybe perform a duet which would be released as a single? :lol: Comic Relief 2009? I'm not sure Oasis and Kasabian would be the correct artists to support that charity. :lol:

A duet would be brilliant! :o I don't think they'd do anything for Comic Relief though. I don't they're the sort of people too.

I gathered the Comic Relief part already, that was a joke. :lol: Imagine them covering something like 'Freak Like Me,' it would definitley be very cool to hear with their rock edge on it. :D :lol:
