If you're a news anchor like Joe Donlon or Irika Sargent or Marie Saavedra, today is always gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you — after they say, "Charlie De Mar," or "Sabrina Franza," or "Jermont Terry, CBS News Chicago."

What was the occasion for such a groaner of a dad joke specific to our business here? Why of course, Oasis, whose hit "Wonderwall" we paraphrased there, performed at Soldier Field — touring for the first time since 2009.

The sold-out show kicked off at 7:30 p.m. Chicago is one of only three U.S. cities on the band's world tour.

Fans were thrilled for an occasion they thought would never happen.

"I saw them in 1994 on their first tour at a club in Boston called Local 186," said one man Brian, who noted that the club was tiny.

"I never thought I'd be able to see them, but when this got announced, he texted me, got tickets, and we're super-excited," said Brian's son, Declan.

"I have been to probably hundreds of concerts in my lifetime, and I cannot remember a show where the crowd had so much energy from start to finish, so that's what I want to experience here in Chicago," said Jennifer Weinberg.

Formed in Manchester, England, in 1991, Oasis was one of the most dominant British acts of the 1990s, releasing hits like "Wonderwall," "Don't Look Back in Anger," "Champagne Supernova," and "Slide Away." The band's sound was fueled by singalong rock choruses and the combustible chemistry between guitarist-songwriter Noel and singer-sibling Liam.

The group split in 2009 after many years of infighting. Noel Gallagher officially left the band just before a performance at a festival near Paris.

Even before the dissolution, the brothers Gallagher had long had an antagonistic relationship — to the point where they rivaled if not surpassed the Everly Brothers — the late Don and Phil Everly — and Ray and Dave Davies of the Kinks among famous brothers in pop music who had high-profile and public fallings-out.

As noted by Biography.com, Liam Gallagher hit his brother on the head with a tambourine and walked offstage during a show in Los Angeles in 1994 — the year Oasis first burst onto the scene.

In 2009, a fight between the brothers at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris led to one of Noel's guitars being smashed, and that was the end of the band.

In 2019, Liam Gallagher told the AP he was ready to reconcile.

"The most important thing is about me and him being brothers," he said. "He thinks I'm desperate to get the band back together for money. But I didn't join the band to make money. I joined the band to have fun and to see the world."
