A dive in the 90sfrom all points of view. The Oasis reunion, which started with the two Cardiff shows of 4 and 5 July in front of the 150 thousand total spectators of the mainty stadium, already entered history, has moved the hands of the time back thirty years, reviving fans relive The Britpop epic, among the latest large rock scenes. Not only the rediscovery of the two classics of the Manchester group“Defintely Maybe” of 1994 and “(What’s the Story?) Morning Glory” in 1995, which are also the most represented records in the SHOW scaletta (of “Standing on the Shouder of Giants” of 2000, of “Don’t Believe the Truth” of 2005 and of “Dig Out your Soul” of 2008 are zero pieces, to say), back to the top of the sales rankings in the United Kingdom.
