"Yesterday my Oasis fandom came full circle. I took my 9 year old daughter Jill to her first gig (along with my fantastic friend Ming!), and we made a sign for the show, as well as a gift bag full of Canadian snacks and goodies (hats, chocolate, ketchup chips, Jos Louis, of course 😉). We waited for hours at the budweiserstage in the heat, and made so many new friends with other fans! About 15-20 people, all there for Noel. He soundchecked quite late but after our car broke down that morning over an hour away, and we hustled downtown, we made it and he came out to sign for us after soundcheck! Jill gave Noel a card, some chocolate roses she picked out for him and got her WTSMG record signed (already signed by Liam a few years back). Noel was in a bit of a rush but he signed for every fan there and kindly took a pic with Jill before he left. Later that night he spoke to Jill in the front row - he called her “Little Jill” (my heart just about exploded!!) and told her since her first gig was this one, it was all downhill from here 😂 He spoke to her many times that night and even dedicated Live Forever to her! Me and Jill were both in tears of happiness! 😭 All I could think of was my first Oasis gig at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto in 1998, and how I myself cried during The Masterplan. As I said, full circle. Jill sang her heart out the whole show and Noel made her feel so special. I can never thank him enough, also Mike Rowe for jumping up to personally hand her his setlist, and Jess for bringing her a pick. A massive thank you to all the Noel fans who stopped us many times on the way out shouting and pointing “hey! It’s Jill!” And taking her picture with her setlist. The kindness of Oasis fans blows my mind, and I am so grateful for the people who make these shows such a pleasure to be a part of. Thanks to themightyi and your spectacular band for giving us both a night we will never forget, and bonding mom and daughter closer than ever ❤️" 📷 lisa_rock_photographer
