This DVD is the reason you love Oasis, the noise, the attitude, the sheer magnatism of the front man and lead guitarist. Liam Gallagher shines in this DVD concert that was recorded at Maine Road (Manchester City's football ground, and the one true love of the Gallagher bro's after their mam!) and Earls Court in London in 1996. This was probably the height of Oasis-Mania in the UK and it truly shows in this amazing DVD.
The picture quality is fantastic and the sound, as long as you have a stereo system to run it through, is spectacular. Anyone who has been to an Oasis concert can testify to the truly ear-shattering sound of the Gallagher bro's live show. So run it through your stereo and crank up that volume until the neighbours complain, it's the closest you'll ever get to knowing what Oasis are like live without seeing it in person.
The presentation "Oasis-There and Then" consists of tracks taken from both the Maine Road gig and he Earls court gig. The vast majority are from Maine road however, and rightly so in my opinion. The songs are intercut with snippets of interviews with the entire band taken in turn, the major interviewee is Noel Gallagher and as always he's very amusing, remembering tales of their first London gigs and getting hit in the face with beer glasses! Liam also gets interviewed and comes across every inch of the rock star he is: Moody, awkward, quiet... and probably drunk...
The only reason this DVD didn't get 5 Stars is simply due to the lack of extras, the only thing you get on here is a song index which is useful of course but where are the behind the scenes features? Where are the information gallery's? Not so much as a discography is on offer on this DVD, but dont let that put you off, the majority of features on DVD's are window dressing anyway, watch them once or twice and never watch them again.
So what more can I say, buy this DVD today, you wont regret it...
