Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Tame podcast
from News Talks. It'd be.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Walking down the hall faster than a carava where we
while we were getting Hide Sunday you will find me
company the landslide, Hide in a Champagne Supernova and the
(00:34):
sky Sunday you will find me company in the landslide,
Hide in a Champagne Supernova, a Champagne supernover scam four.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Team to twelve on Newstalks. He'd be I reckon if
you were going anywhere in Sydney or Melbourne or Strada
over the last few days, like any shop any more,
any restaurant you were have been hearing that song. Oasis
set to play the final gig of their world tour
(01:12):
this evening. Chris Schultz is there in Sydney, Candy down
the minutes to concert time. Give us a vibe check, Chris.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
It's exactly what you just said.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yea.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
The fans are everywhere. They're decked and head to toe
and ban T shirts, Addie Dash jackets, Addie Dass shoes.
They're singing the songs I heard yesterday Don't Look Back
in Anger. I heard it six separate times, including while
I was eating my dinner. A group of people walk
past just singing it to the streets. It's exactly what's
(01:45):
going on. Everyone here seems to be heading to these shows.
It's captured the zeitgeist of Australia. I want to say,
not in the way since Taylor Swift was here a
couple of years ago. It just feels like everyone is
aimed towards these concerts, the unified behind them, and they're.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Just so happy.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
These people are so happy. They just have the best fans,
Like no one thought this was possible.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
You know.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
They haven't toured here in twenty seven years, and they
famously broke up in two thousand and nine by storming
off stage. That show in ninety eight, by the way,
that did make it to New Zealand that tour. It
was so bad that yeah, Liam headbutted a fan and
got arrested. He got banned from Cathay Pacific for life.
(02:33):
And then in Wellington he played a kazoo instead of
singing the songs. He played a kazoo, had a fight
with his brother backstage. A show notes so notorious, someone
wrote a book about it. So yeah, it just feels
like this is the place to be at the moment,
which is why I've come over for it.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Good on you. I'm so pleasure there. I think it's
very much the place to be. And it's telling, isn't it.
I mean, as if we needed yet another example, but
the fact that they're playing Sydney, they're playing Melbourne, they're
not playing New.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Zeal it's a real shame. You know, the energy that
a big band like this brings to a city. You
can just feel it right just walking around. You see
the fans and in Melbourne especially, these reports came out
from bar owners who were claiming the band had like
saved the year, you know, that said things like, you know,
(03:26):
post COVID, the hospitality industry was in ruins, and suddenly
they were taking in a week's worth of takings in
a single night because fans were all out enjoying themselves,
you know, out and he's filling the bars up until
six am again, like I guess pre COVID times. It's
just that kind of tour. I think too. You know,
(03:46):
there's something about the fact that these two brothers, you know,
they notoriously hated each other. They were so divided, they
had so many fights on stage over the years. You
can't say it was fake like it was real. And
in this moment right the world's quite divided. There's examples
of it happening every day, especially in America, and here's
(04:06):
two brothers who've managed to pick up the pieces and
get back on the road. I gave this tour, this
show tonight. I gave that when I bought my tickets
a year ago, a fifty to fifty chance of happening.
But they've done it.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah they are, Yeah, yeah they have. It's amazing what
a motivator like tens of millions of dollars can be.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I think Nol the reporter, Noel's taking one hundred million
pounds away from this tour. So yeah, they're doing.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Okay, oh my goodness. I mean, honestly, didn't They're good
on them, you know, good on them. If you've, if
you've done whatever you need to do to have that
kind of you know, the support and level of fandom
around the world, then who could resent you for it?
You know, I think it's pretty amazing. So what is
your just talk us to your plan for the day,
then how's it going to work?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
I'm going to relax because tonight it sounds like it's
going to be pretty headtic. It's the biggest show I've
ever been to. I've never been to a concert with
eighty thousand people at it before. I think the biggest
thing I've been to is about forty five thousand. So
I'm going to rest up, Jack. I'm not going to
do a lot of walking because it's you know, it's
at a Core stadium, it's out of town. Yeah, and yeah,
I'm going to try not to hear too many Oasis
(05:15):
songs like yesterday because they were blasting everywhere.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
I reckon just hydrate as well. I reckon lots of
you know, like lots of and I and by that
I mean water because yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, just and
maybe a couple of bananas, bit of potassium in the system,
you know, like you're just going to need you got
to pay some of these things.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Yeah, totally. It's just that, you know, the fans they
bring out. I've been at a Liam Gallagha show before,
and they bring out this XPAC community who are having,
you know, the night of their lives. They're four or
five drinks deep, They've got to arms around each other
and they're singing these songs. You know, they're playing exclusively
songs from the ninety seven ninety eight period, the first
two big albums. Yeah, it's it's just you know, they're
(06:00):
making all this money, but also they're making people so happy,
and that's why I think no one's holding it against them.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
No, no, course, absolutely so. So do you reckon this
is it? Do you reckon they might do? Giving them
made it through this, they might do another tour in
the years to come.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
There's too much money on the table, Jack, one hundred percent.
They're doing more. Shot for sure. I can't see this
being it. Money talks. Yeah, and nostylege is huge at
the moment too, you.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Know it is especially with that generation. I suppose this
is the this is the first thing for that generation,
or not the first thing, but you know, it really
taps into a generation who are probably feeling nostalgic for
the first time in their lives. You know, Hey, it
sounds amazing, Chris, have a wonderful time tonight. I'm so
envious and I can't wait to hear all about it.
(06:44):
But we'll be thinking of you.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Thank you, Jack, you appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Really look forward to it. Chris Schultz is in Sydney,
ahead of the final Oasis concert tonight. You can see
more of Chris's takes on Oasis and the Vibe on
a substack. Boiler Room is the name of a substack.
We'll pick a good Oasis song just to play out
the hour in a couple of minutes.
