![]() The performance may not have been as polished as what they ultimately became, but it's a welcome throwback to a couple of brothers and their mates who became the biggest band in the world, and this was their finest moment. Kicking off with Columbia, followed by the b-side of Acquiesce, Oasis launched into hit after hit, merging classics such as Live Forever, Supersonic and Cigarettes and Alcohol from Definitely Maybe, to Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Champagne Supernova and others from their latest release at the time, (What's The Story) Morning Glory?, as well as teasing new tracks from Be Here Now, it was a setlist that not only defined a generation, but welcomed a new selection of fans of which would stick with them through to the end in 2009.
