10 Biggest Shows In Rock History

After grunge started to fade into '90s obscurity, most rock fans found their muse in the Britpop movement. As opposed to the sad laments you would hear out of a Nirvana record, the sounds of someone like Suede or Pulp ended up being much more exciting for your average listener. At the center of it all was two brothers from Manchester, whose band was about to pull off one of the greatest gigs of the century.

It was staggering to imagine Oasis' journey at the start of the '90s, going from an indie band on Definitely Maybe to one of the greatest acts in England off the strength of What's the Story Morning Glory? Though they could have easily worked for years off of those records alone, all signs were pointing to Knebworth, where turned into the apex of their entire career. Playing to over 125,000 people over a weekend, these stood as the pinnacle of the Britpop movement, with Liam Gallagher's snarl ringing out over the field while delivering Some Might Say and Champagne Supernova.

This did end up being a bit of a last hoorah as well though, with Oasis never really being able to equal their previous magic on tracks from their next album Be Here Now. On these few nights though, it looked like the Gallagher Brothers could go nowhere else but up.
