On This Day - Oasis Play Santiago, Chile. Watch in Full

On 5 May 2009, Oasis played the Movistar Arena in Santiago, Chile on the Dig Out Your Soul Tour, a stop that came between the band’s shows at River Plate in Buenos Aires on 3 May and Citibank Hall in Rio de Janeiro on 7 May. In the context of that late South American run, Santiago stands out as one of the sharper snapshots of Oasis in their final touring year: road-worn, still combustible, but fully capable of sounding huge when the room was with them.

Local reviews in Chile were strongly positive. RockNvivo described the concert as a solid performance with good sound and a setlist that left little to argue with, played to a crowd of almost 12,000. Another contemporary review from POTQ said the arena felt surprisingly full, the sound was excellent, and the audience was locked in from the start. Taken together, those accounts suggest Santiago got something more than a routine stop on the tour: it got a band that looked switched on.

The set itself had the balance Oasis were leaning on in 2009. They came out to “Fuckin’ in the Bushes” and opened properly with “Rock ’n’ Roll Star,” before pushing into “Lyla,” “The Shock of the Lightning,” “Cigarettes & Alcohol,” “The Meaning of Soul,” and “To Be Where There’s Life.” From there the show moved between newer material and the songs that could still send a crowd airborne, including “The Masterplan,” “Slide Away,” “Morning Glory,” “The Importance of Being Idle,” “I’m Outta Time,” “Wonderwall,” “Supersonic,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” “Champagne Supernova,” and “I Am the Walrus.” Setlist records show a show built from six Dig Out Your Soul songs, but still anchored by the older anthems people had come to hear.
