I saw Oasis on their 1994 club tour and, post show, wasn't convinced that it was worth the $8 cover. I came away thinking that the band couldn't decide if they wanted to be Paul Weller or John Lennon but, in either case, they weren't on par with either artist.

Surprisingly, I liked Beady Eyes' debut disc, Different Gear, Still Speeding, as there was an energy and a sense of urgency in the songs that I hadn't heard in any of the later period Oasis material. Sadly, my opinion flipped back the other way after hearing Beady Eyes' "iTunes Festival 2011" EP as this phoned-in performance from Liam reminded me of everything I disliked about Oasis.

Check out this live video of the band from earlier this year that was filmed at Webster Hall and decide for yourself...



Tickets for the show at Terminal 5 are $43 (in advance + a $8.85 'convenience charge') and $48 DOS. Black Box Revolution is opening the show and doors are at 7PM.
