Flying on the same day as a show is never the preferred way, but today was just one of those days where the rules had to be broken to make things happen. So we go to the airport in Dublin for an early flight to Paris, fly, and while waiting for our baggage in Charles deGaulle airport, we see some familiar looking blokes sitting over on the bench, obviously waiting for their luggage too. Well, whattaya know, its Oasis. We've never actually ever met them before, but eventually Pat breaks the ice like a trooper, and thank goodness. Turns out theyre big fans of weezer (or at the very least Liam is - hes just a bit more talkative than his brother Noel), and in fact, in Liam's words, weezer is their favorite American band! Now thats cool. After some small talk, its established that while Weezer is on their way to the Olympia gig, Oasis are basically just waiting around till their own TV gig tomorrow. So I slip in a little "do you wanna go to the show tonight?", which is enthusiatically embraced as the plan. When I asked "how many will there be?", they said "A lot." The necessary phone numbers were exchanged amongst tour managers, and the plan was set: Oasis were coming to see weezer tonight!
Off we go thru the busy streets of Paris directly to The Olympia for soundcheck, which is a very nice and rather large venue thats hosted countless famous shows over the years. Come showtime it looked totally full but there was some question as to whether it had actually sold out or not. Well, no matter, it was very full and the crowd was very loud, and thats all that mattered! After the show, the band met up with Oasis (or rather, part of Oasis, as some of them bailed right after the show for parts unknown), namely Liam Gallagher and Gem Archer and some of their friends/crew, for a rousting round of conversation which was frequently quite hilarious, such as when the Oasis men went into detailed and hysterically funny acting out of several choice parts of the Metallica documentary! Contrary to what you may have read in the press, Liam was warm, friendly, and funny as hell. I guess having just seen his "favorite current American band" didnt hurt the mood! Top men, the lot.
