The 2009 performance of Oasis at Marefield Stadium in Edinburgh has been identified as the most “ground-kaw” concert at the venue in the last two decades, according to new seismic data analysis.
British Geological Survey (BGS) revealed the last Scottish of Galaghar Brothers Gig Peak economy is at the top of the chart for power.
His June 2009 show, registering the summit of 215.06kw, was more powerful than doubled as the strongest event, red Hot Chili Peppers‘2004 concert (106.87kw).
It also left behind the kings of Leon in 2011 and Taylor SwiftDemonstration in last June. The measurement was taken from the stadium from 4 km from an seismic surveillance station.
At the end of this week, the Scottish conclusions have come out as the much awaited return tour of Oasis to come to the capital, Increasing the possibility of another “astonishing” phenomenon.
The power output is not related to the band or congestion volume, rather it is the speed of fans who jump and dance on time to music, with the height of crowd jumping and weight also potential factors.
This means that the current coast of seismic production of Oasis fans can be compared to previous years.
BGS Cesmologist Calum Harrison said: “In 2009, the seismic signal generated by Oasis fans was compatible with the energy of 215kw, which were enough at their peak – the iconic scooters shown to power about 30 scooters were now album cover.
“Our network of sensors across the country is sufficient to take the speed of the ground at a distance of one source miles that may not be detected for humans – and is sufficient to register exact timestamps when events occur.

“Peak Energy Reading was recorded in 2009 at around 8.30 pm on the evening of June at a time when the band first took the stage and performed the Rock ‘N’ Roll Star, which could not have more fittings in terms of topping our seismic music chart.”
BGS holds a collection of ground motion recording from seismic sensors across the country, dating for several decades.
Mr. Harrison said: “In this example we are looking back in only 20 years, although geological processes are on a large scale that can be difficult for humans to understand.
“Improving our understanding of historical earthquakes is an important part of BGS research that is trying to understand and reduce seismic risk across the country.”
Ahead of the Gigs sold in Marefield, which begins on Friday, Mr. Harrison said that it is “certainly possible” they can top the output of the previous gigalum in 2009, saying: “We just have to wait and see.”
He said: “The main contributor is going to be how energetic the crowd is.
“If they are jumping with music, how high or how fast are they jumping?”
