Face Of Cheam

When the tickets went on sale, Kasabian and The Enemy, were also billed. Then Reverend & The Makers were added and it was all taken shape. However, as we got there the big screens announced that the Enemy had pulled out. This resulted in an extended set by the Rev and Oasis coming on five minutes earlier. However, as it was raining also meant we missed an extra half hour in the pub and was stuck with it being £4 pint of Carlsberg. The Rev played a similar mix that he did a couple of days ago at the Koko. Laura looked good on the big screen in her short shorts! Kasabian played for an hour and again did a good mix of their new album and classics ending as always in their singalong anthem LSF.
Oasis changed their set slightly from their arena shows of last year and there was a welcome return of Live Forever and the Noel sung Half The World Away. They also played My Big Mouth from the Be Here Now album which wasn't quite as well received. The sound was pretty good considering the conditions and in the encore Don't Look Back In Anger was sund entirely by the 80odd thousand in the crowd. A very good outdoor show in my first gig visit to Wembley, despite the weather. A good connection on the overhead lime to Wembley Central also meant the travelling problems you normally get being negated, as I was able to meet my brother who had just seen Thunders last show of their tour at Hammersmith, in Wimbledon for a late pint.
