Oasis - Live by the Sea

There & Then	Oasis - Familiar to Millions: Live At Wembley Recorded at their 2000 dates from Wembley Stadium, England, Familiar to Millions celebrates not just nearly a decade of dominance by Oasis 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 ha...	Oasis: Lord Don't Slow Me Down For all intents and purposes, Noel and Liam Gallagher are Oasis. So in Oasis: Lord Don't Slow Me Down, it doesn't really matter that the rest of the band (which includes Ringo Starr's son Zak Starkey on drums) wasn't in the lineup when the group made it big in 1995 with songs suc...	Oasis - Definitely Maybe: The DVD	Definitely Maybe With the swaggering chords of the opening "Rock'N'Roll Star," Oasis announced that big, brash Brit rock was here to stay--at least for a few years. They wore their rock & roll with an angry young sneer, a Mancunian petulance wedded to a vision of cathartic release. Their superson...
Standing on the Shoulder of Giants With Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, the self-professed "biggest rock & roll band in the world" continue their exploration of great British rock of the late '60s. Paying homage to heroes is one thing, but many of Standing's best moments sound like their icons' low points. Thi...	(What's the Story) Morning Glory? This big rock candy mountain of an album justifies some if by no means all of the poses and pretentious statements made by Manchester's natural-born rock & roll deities. A dramatic attempt to rekindle the flames of the original British Invasion, Morning Glory rolls 30 years of Br...	Heathen Chemistry At their career zenith, Oasis were lauded as the best band in the world. They were actually never the greatest rock & roll band at any time, but for a few years they were the biggest. While they offered the '90s two of its most defining albums, and a resurgence of '60s-influenced...	Familiar to Millions In 2000 Oasis wisely dispensed with theatrics and concentrated on being the world's greatest stadium-sized pub-rock band. And so, with just three mammoth video walls in tow, they toured the world. Big as the video screens were, however, the band's straight-ahead rock and Liam Gal...	The Masterplan Following a British rock tradition initiated by the Beatles and lovingly inherited by the Jam and the Clash, Oasis is the only band of the CD era to offer fans extra tracks on their singles that are often as good as, if not better than, the hits. Rather than saving his new songs ...

I love this Concert
I've owned this DVD for a couple of years now and I absolutely love this band. This is the greatest band in the world and this is them in there early years.This is a great show. It was recorded live at Southend Cliffs Pavillion on April 17 1995. It's in front of a good crowd and is a great concert.Just about everything from "Definetly Maybe" is included in the concert. You have some of the singles like "Sad Song" and "Good To Be Free" on it. You also get "Some Might Say" in it's early days. The energy is really there on the song.I love Noel's acoustic set on the DVD. He does it in all of there concerts. I got to see him in a show in Miami where Liam lost his voice. This set isn't as good as it, but it's still worthy. It's not a huge set and he actually messes up on one of the songs. While he is playing "D'Yer Wanna Be A Spaceman? he messes up. He says the wrongs word to a totally different song. It's so awesome.I love this DVD. It has so many great early Oasis songs. There is a lot of energy displayed from both the crowd and the band. I don't think it's as good as "Familiar to Millions," but it's better than "There and Then." This one is a must for hardcore Oasis fans.

Live Forever by The Sea
The DVD- "Live by the Sea", captures the intense bi-polar nature of Oasis: the triumph and failure, the excitement and the disapointment. The greatest thing about Oasis is their honesty.. Oasis never fakes it, and this DVD bears proof of that.The performances on "Live by the Sea" either reach scorching heights, or fall with a thud. "Slide Away", one of the most powerful songs in the Oasis discography, doesn't seem to translate well into the live performance on this DVD. Liam Gallaghers live vocals do not here match what he achieved with the recorded masterpiece on the "Definitely Maybe" CD. The mighty "Cigarettes & Alcohol" and "Live Forever" also fall short of the sonic majesty of their LP cousins.Any disapointment felt from where Oasis stumbles, however, is over-powered by the tunes where Oasis hit their mark. The raucous opener, "Rock & Roll Star", is a splendid dirge that bears the energy and bravado of Liam and Noels Rock & Roll heritage."Columbia" is sheer perfection in its insidious power, and Noel's acoustic "Talk Tonight" is profoundly moving.The Crown Jewel of "Live by the Sea", however, is the astounding performance of "Some Might Say". This DVD is an early performance by Oasis, and to hear this well loved song in its infancy is a privledge. Liams intense yowling, somehow blends perfectly with the lyrics to mezmerizing effect, pointing the way to Liams future as one of Rocks greatest singers.The cool thing about this DVD is that it captures Oasis in their beginnings. The band is still rough around the edges, and you are struck especially by how young Liam was and how different his voice sounded. But with that youth comes the excitement and energy of a band on its way to the top. Throughout their career, Oasis have achieved greatness with incredible songs and blistering performances. They have also achieved incredible lows with their in-fighting and sporadic anti-fan sentiments. One thing this DVD makes certain, however, is that Oasis never fake it and they are always willing to deliver the un-expected.

Good concert....video is out-of-print? Shame...
Recorded in a small-ish venue (which reminds me of when I first saw them in Indianapolis, Indiana) this is a high energy show put on by the band in the days just before they really hit it big. What's so amazing about Oasis was that they could sound so full of energy and yet barely move around on stage.Most of the "anti-Oasis" people I have met say they hate the band because of their attitudes. That they are so full of themselves. Wrong! If Oasis are indeed "full of themselves" why would they allow embarrassing mistakes to remain in the video? During "D'Yer Wanna Be A Spaceman" Noel completely screws up and stops the song, looking rather foolish. IF he was "full of himself", don't you think he would've edied that out so he could look "perfect"?Oasis put out non album B-sides like crazy and unlike some bands, performed them with as much vigor live as they did their hit singles. Such is the case with the soaring "Acquiesce" and the rocking "Headshrinker".During Noel's acoustic set (which is usually my favorite part as I love Noel's voice) as he sang "Sad Song" in that plaintive tone, the spotlight showed off his dreamy eyes. *sigh*Liam's audience banter is not up to par with say, a Freddie Mercury and what he does say is very hard to understand with his thick accent. Oh well.The lighting they had set up, though not overwhelming, was just enough to give a dreamy atmosphere which, coupled with one of Noel's guitar solos, puts you in a different state of mind.A .... fine show it is and could turn a non-believer over to our side..making them "Mad fer it!"

one of the greatest videos i ever seen
i have no words to describe how wonderfull this video is i just would like to say that this is one of the greatest videos i ever seen but i have to agree that there and then is better maybe becouse they did this to early
