6. Re this tour being historic - I want it to be more historic than Taylor's Eras tour, which was a lip-synching pop diva

showing off what I admit was a very impressive catalogue of pop songs.

Oasis are guitar rock, and I hope their reunion will lead to a resurgence in what to me is quintessential rock. The British Invasion of the '60s was all about guitar rock, and it not only led to an artistic explosion, it picked up a lot of the role folk music had previously played in terms of political messaging.

Something that IMO pop music focusing on costumes and dancing really isn't able to do as effectively. Because the theatricality - along with the very unfortunate trend to committee-written pop hits - distract from and muddy any message the artists might have.
