Oasis Knebworth 1996

I sat, along with thirty other people, in theaters last night singing and enjoying the amazing tunes of Oasis' Knebworth 1996 performance. How is that this music/concert event still resonates after 25 years? Answer, it's biblical!

I was 16 in 1996 and obsessed with oasis , I didn't go to Knebworth but I lived through it I know about the hype , the sheer size of it ,the difficulty in getting tickets . I saw oasis 11 times and know about the euphoria the buzz the magic of being down the front so I was well prepared for this film .. or so I thought . I was almost in tears seeing them again at the peak of their powers and listing to the fans stories just took me back to that time . This is how concerts should be fans and band as one in the moment . Well documented, brilliantly edited a fantastic snapshot of a fantastic time

Go see it.

Saw this at a movie theater in Dayton, Ohio and it was fantastic!!! I remember having these shows on bootleg CD's in the late 90's but actually seeing the concerts and unseen footage was unreal. Oasis has meant a lot to me since 1994 and this movie just blew me away. Liam and Noel what can you say, there are no others like them. They were hilarious during both nights and Liam, what a voice. Who could've better sung Noel's perfectly penned lyrics?

Fantastic set and the commentary from the fans that actually went to the shows was a special touch. This movie made me realize how great concerts really were before cell phones wherein you lived in the minute and enjoyed every moment of the show. This movie brought me back to 1996 when I was 21.

So glad to see how much Oasis means to millions of other people just like me. Mad fer it!!!!

This is what people who don't like Oasis will never understand. Sure, there are technically better bands and there are more competent lyricists, stronger vocalists, better singers and more proficient musicians but what that band MEANT to people, well, that can't be bought or taught.

Oasis were a band of the people, for the people. For two nights to still resonate so strongly 25 years later that a film is made about them says it all. It wasn't about gimmicks, pyrotechnic light shows, 360 degree revolving stages, pyramids, dancers and 40 costume changes. It was about 250,000 people forgetting their troubles, forgetting themselves and singing along to every word as five lads from a council estate lived the dreams of every single member of the audience and millions more around the world.

My fear is that such a musical moment may never happen again. The world has changed; the optimism of the 90's has given way to fear, mistrust and falsehoods. Films like this are a welcome reminder that society used to be so much more cohesive and maybe, just maybe, we can get back there.

To start I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WAS 25 YEARS AGO!!

My husband and and I were/are true Oasis fans and have continued to follow the brothers separate journeys since the spilt.

We were lucky enough to see Oasis 3 times (Earls Court, Finsbury Park & Hammersmith Apollo) and missed them twice in Paris due to brotherly bust ups causing cancellations but never managed to get tickets for Knebworth, so it was great to hear tales from fans who had actually made it!

This is an amazing time capsule piece as it really reflects on how much things have changed. This gig was Pre social media, mobile phones and internet, as we know today, it reminded us of the buzz just trying to get the tickets in the first place.

Had a little tear as they talked about the Prodigy supporting, it was a nice touch with some great shots of the amazing Keith Flint RIP.

It's brilliant that Liam & Noel were actively involved in the project, although I suspect they were never in the same room at the same time! LOL

Only downside 'Some Might Say' it was a little pricey to see it in the cinema... a hefty £15.95 each with no discount if you are a monthly paying customer, that's amost as much as the original gig of £22:50!

Oh how times have changed 'D'you Know What I Mean?' So just 'Roll With It' pay 'Whatever' and 'I Hope, I Think, I Know' you'll enjoy it!
