Oasis’ World Tour Opens with a Bang in Seattle
Bathed in violet light, the stage of Seattle’s WAMU Theater was set last night for an evening of prodigious musicianship from fabled Britpop stalwarts Oasis, who began the North American leg of their world tour to a sold-out audience.
Solo artist Matt Costa, with his raspy yet beautifully crisp vocals and understated acoustics, opened the show, followed by Ryan Adams & the Cardinals, who took the stage for an all-out detour from Adams’ alt-country style into fully-fledged rock territory, replete with drilling drums, dueling guitars, and tremendous, gospel-eque harmonies. Adams’ wistful vocals and melodic guitar playing threatened to steal the entire night’s show — but as proved later, no one can take the limelight from the Gallagher brothers.
