Amazon.co.uk Review
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

Format:DVD
I bought this DVD about a week ago and wasn't disappointed. It captures Oasis in fantastic form, performing all their classic songs and some newer ones as well. Liam Gallagher, the quintessential Rock 'n' Roll star, is at his swaggering, charismatic best with Noel and Alan White as reliable as ever. The 2 new boys Bell and Archer look right at home in Oasis as well. Every song is performed with the famous swagger and confidence of Oasis, with Cigarettes and Alcohol, Roll with it, Champagne Supernova, Live Forever and Acquiesce standing out as phenomenal performances. Every song still sounds as fresh as it did when it was first released, and Dont Look Back in Anger still sends a shiver down the spine. I guarantee you could put this DVD on whatever song and it would make you want to get up, sing along and just generally rock. The show ends on a high note with a classy rendition of Rock 'n' Roll Star, topping off a stunning performance from the finest Rock 'n' Roll band in the world.

This was the first of 2 gigs at Wembley and this was by far the better of the 2. Liam is brilliant and at his best with Noel excellent as well. During the concert footage you get to see lots of all of the band, not just the Gallagher brothers. The extras are great too, the interview with Oasis was my particular favourite. There is a documentray showing the fans before the gig and it just proves how popular Oasis really are.
This is a must for all Oasis fans and even if your not a fan, you will be after you see this.

Format:DVD
This is the best music dvd in my collection it has just about everything you could want on oasis and is certainly not another JUST the concert dvd, it includes a complete discography of the band (with soundbites), a back and front stage view of the performance with the band (especially noel & liam's)interactions with both the camera's and more importantly the crowd been quite entertaining in parts.
The sound and picture are excellant and the disc also features various film bites (like people been thrown out of the gig)and is very raw (as you would expect)... the setlist itself is really a showcase of oasis music from 'definately maybe' to 'standing on the shoulders of giants' and all the songs are performed with gusto and are well placed in the list.
If i had one small niggle with the disc itself is that the arrow to move between menu's is very small and is easily missed.
However this is a great disc and easily worth the money.

Onto Britain's longest running soap opera. Now I must admit to liking Oasis a lot. Well. I like their songs. Noel and Liam have become caricatures. Read more

Don't let your prejudices put you off this DVD. If OASIS never make another record or go on tour ever again this would be a pretty fine way to remember them by. Read more
