Knebworth '22

Product Information

As well as his storming solo material, fans are also treated to a raucous rendition of ‘Cigarettes & Alcohol’ where Liam sings as if his life depends on it, an emotionally-charged ‘Wonderwall’ where Liam engages with the crowd with some classic LG banter asking if they are sure they want to hear it. It transpires that they really do and sing along with Liam showing his appreciation by responding with “Biblical, biblical, biblical!”

And, just last month, Noel said in an interview there was "no point" in an Oasis reunion as the band sell "as many records now" as they did when they were together.

From here on, it’s sure-fire Oasis bangers with Cigarettes And Alcohol (Liam sounding more like Johnny Rotten’s sneering Mancunian cousin than ever), Some Might Say, Supersonic, Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova (dedicated to his mum) predictably initiating an audible increase in the already impressive audience decibel levels. Again, these renditions really hit the mark and, while they may not stray that far from the original template, it’s a great excuse to wallow in nostalgia and remind ourselves just what an impact those young guys made on the musical landscape. Toby says the answer to that is that it's something the world needed, more than we could have possibly imagined. Gallagher strolls on stage, deliciously on-brand in a cagoule, shoulders down, face rising up to meet the microphone as he blares out Morning Glory from Oasis’s 1995 LP (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? as a how do you do. In a musical landscape increasingly dominated by acts pumping out ancillary video content on socials, servicing fans 24/7, he feels like one of the last bastions of the idea that singers should not be approachable, or like the rest of us; that they should come mob-handed, with bone structure and maracas. Will Oasis catch reunion fever? Damon Albarn’s got money on it

At a time when it's easy to feel powerless to the weight of the world around us, hopefully this film can be a small reminder of what we're capable of overcoming. It's a love letter to live music and being together again."
