Tbh, after hearing the Earl’s Court and Maine Road stuff I thought Knebworth sounded pants. Still great of course but it sounds like a lot of cocaine was consumed by everyone. I love John Squire too but even his input was too drugged up for me. Admittedly it does sound a little flat production-wise in the same way that other Live recordings do. Why you need it: Noel’s mixed a new version of ‘D’you Know What I Mean?’, hinting at what could have been if they’d shown a little restraint.What: The overlong yet underrated 1997 album is being reissued with B-sides and previously unheard demos.

Didn't Jonny Marr play lead guitar on champagne supernova at Knebworth? On a dark red Les Paul? Or am I getting this mixed up with another big gig? I used to have a bootleg dvd of that and I would play along on the guitar note for note. Managed to get the whole thing playing through my surround sound…. Fun times. Then life happened Why you need it: It was the single release that instigated the infamous Britpop chart battle with Blur in August 1995. Blur topped the charts, but this is still a huge tune that any Oasis fan worth their salt will have.I know it's an important cultural moment but everything of the Knebworth shows I've heard suggests they were far from their best gigs. Pre-internet, end-of-history nostalgia reaches a psychedelic peak in this enjoyable documentary about Oasis’s pair of 1996 gigs at Knebworth House in Hertfordshire. This may be due to the excessive strain that the plastic envelope exerts on the trifold cover and hence on the records; in fact, record n. 3, which is sandwiched between record n. 1 and n. 2, is perfectly flat.

Blu-ray - Single Disc Blu-ray including the feature length cinema film plus Saturday and Sunday nights of concert Why you need it: It’s the Gallagher brothers doing what they do best: fighting. It also features references to that ferry incident in the early days, which Liam recently compared Noel’s response to Kevin Keegan.They played two nights in Cork, Ireland on August 13 and 14 but I can’t remember which night I attended, the 13 I’d bet on! Why you need it: A copy of this cassette was given to Creation Records boss Alan McGee following a gig in Glasgow. After one play, he signed the band immediately. History, right here. Why you need it: A few months later they’d play their era-defining shows at Knebworth, but these gigs are the biggest (and best) Oasis shows available on home release. Liam and Noel Gallagher are executive producing a new feature documentary about the Knebworth concerts their band Oasis played in August 1996.
