Next Single - Double A-Side - 8/7/02

Backstage at the Finsbury Park gigs Noel told Radio 1 their next single will be a double A-side: 'She is Love' and 'Little by Little',
with 'My Generation' as an extra track. But he said the choice of the new single wasn't his:

"I don't pick singles anymore. I can't be bothered because they're all good. I'd have gone with 'Songbird' myself."

"If I pick singles that I sing, it means I've got to sing them live for evermore and it means I've got to
turn up and spend most of the day on the video set and I fucking hate that."

"'Songbird' might be next - it all depends on how things go."

Finsbury Park, A Massive Success - 6/7/02

Oasis performed three huge gigs at Finsbury Park over the weekend, and they got a great reception. Kelly from the Stereophonics, Electric Soft Parade and Spencer from 'Big Brother' could all be spotted in the crowd.

The band played 3 sold out, open air shows at Finsbury Park in front of 40,000 fans. The band's set was comprised mainly of songs from their current album 'Heathen Chemistry', as well classic singles including 'Some Might Say', 'Live Forever' and 'Don't Look Back In Anger'.

However, their set closed with a rousing cover of The Who's 'My Generation', dedicated to Entwistle by singer Liam Gallagher. The bassist was found dead in a Las Vegas hotel room last week.

Liam, dressed in a full length coat with various patterns and patches stitched on, was on fine form throughout - berating journalists for the mixed reception to their new album, and proclaiming himself the true spirit of rock and roll.

Unfortunately, by the time Oasis took to the stage at 8.30pm, Finsbury Park resembled a mud bath in places, with persistent and heavy showers throughout the day plaguing sets from support bands including The Coral, Soundtrack Of Our Lives, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and The Charlatans.

Organizers also put artificial flooring across the grass at the front of the stage to ensure the safety of concertgoers.

Oasis played:

'Fucking In The Bushes'
'Hello'
'The Hindu Times'
'Hung In A Bad Place'
'Go Let It Out'
'Columbia'
'Morning Glory'
'Stop Crying Your Heart Out'
'Little By Little'
'D'You Know What I Mean'
'Cigarettes And Alcohol'
'Live Forever'
'Better Man'
'She's Electric'
'Born On A Different Cloud'
'Acquiesce'
'Force Of Nature'
'Don't Look Back In Anger'
'Some Might Say'
'My Generation'
