THE entertainment at the Oasis concert started early on Friday night – before you actually got into the CIA in fact.

Maybe it was the extraordinarily long queue that caused tempers to be a little frayed.

And some over-exuberant revellers attracted the attention of the South Wales constabulary as they were led away in handcuffs after having what seemed to be a slight difference of opinion with security staff.

Once inside the band opened with some old favourites, much to the delight of the crowd.

The excitement was too much for many fans who couldn’t resist the temptation of lobbing their expensive beer – £3.60 for a can of lager poured into a paper cup – into the path of some poor unfortunate soul minding his or her business 50 yards away.

And just as I was thinking, ‘Glad it’s not me being drenched in warm Danish ale’, it happened.

From the balcony above, some punter decided to give their Tuborg a whirl which left me soaking and smelling like a brewery.

My companion and ‘friend’ thought it was the funniest thing he’d seen for a while.

Welcome to an Oasis gig. They are a great live band and the old numbers from Definitely Maybe like Slide Away and Cigarettes and Alcohol really got the crowd going.

However the mood changed noticeably with the new stuff getting a frostier response.

But their majestic performance of Masterplan and Champagne Supernova showed they still have what it takes.
