Oasis - Familiar To Millions [DVD]

Description

Recorded at their 2000 Wembley dates, Familiar To Millions celebrates not just nearly a decade of dominance by the Oasis lads but also the fact that it is still actually possible to get them on the same stage at the same time. Moreover, while the band certainly had their troubles prior to arriving at the Twin Towers (not least Noel Gallagher's decision to stay at home for many European dates), this finds all concerned on blistering form with even the newer band members sounding like they were born to play with the monobrowed ones. The chosen set list also wisely skimps on selections from their recent work preferring instead to concentrate on the likes of "Cigarettes And Alcohol", "Wonderwall", "Supersonic", "Shakermaker", "Don't Look Back In Anger", "Champagne Supernova" and a superb Noel-sung version of Neil Young's "Hey Hey My My". The actual concert footage itself, though, is the only the tip of the iceberg, with special features including a discography, graphics that were specially filmed for the dates, multicamera angles on Cigarettes & Alcohol and a documentary by Grant Gee, previously responsible for Radiohead's Meeting People Is Easy documentary. The most entertaining aspect of this DVD by far, however, is a Gary Crowley-conducted pre-gig interview with the siblings in which ex-cokehead Noel gleefully admits that he can remember absolutely nothing whatsoever about recording (What's The Story) Morning Glory? . -- Warren Wayans Gallagher brothers Noel and Liam reconvened for Oasis' summer 2000 world tour. Included here are highlights from the band's two performances at London's Wembley stadium. Tracks include 'Wonderwall', 'Don't Look Back in Anger', 'Roll with It', 'Cigarettes and Alcohol' and 'Stand by Me'. Review: Oasis on top form! - This DVD captures oasis in their prime! Fantastic quality picture and sound with a setlist including forgotten songs such as Step Out and classics like Cigarettes and alcohol. I got the DVD cheap and it was very well packaged along with prompt delivery, I would give it 6 stars but desertcart won't let me! Review: Sheer magic! So MANY classic songs, delivered with real passion! - These songs will genuinely Live Forever, (I don't think I ever said a truer word). The crowd gave them plenty of support, though the banter wasn't all positive, a real shame. The tunes, however, "shiiiine" bright as always.
