Both Liam and Noel Gallegher have enough talent and raw ability to produce something better than this below par album.Perhaps they just wanted to keep there A list material for a rainy day.

I Love This Oasis Album, As I Was Lucky Enough To
I love this Oasis album, as I was lucky enough to hear it at its best - Live. Tickets for their Be Here Now 1997 tour were like gold dust, and I hung on to the phone for 2 days, constantly trying to get through to the ticket line. I was shocked, surprised, delighted, jumping for joy when I finally got through and managed to clinch tickets!!
The gig was fantastic. And not so well known back then, the supporting band were the great Travis.
Kicking off the gig they played the title track Be Here Now, and the whole place was jumping! We were fairly near the front, and the crush was, to say the least, breathtaking!! Terrified I was going to pass out, we managed to scramble our way further back, where we still had a fantastic view of the band, but not so close to be crushed!
The sound was excellent - great acoustics. Loud but perfect. As it should be.
On to the album!
This was the fastest selling album of all time, selling 423,000 copies on the first day of release, and over 1,000,000 in 2 weeks. In total 8,000,000 copies were sold worldwide, and it topped the charts in 28 different countries. Oasis were at the height of their career. The car in the pool is assumed to be a tribute to Keith Moon (The Who). There was a myth that Moon parked his Cadillac in the pool at a Holiday Inn during his 21st Birthday Celebrations. Not one of his better ideas? Or was it?!!
The tracks are as follows:
D'You Know What I Mean
My Big Mouth
Magic Pie
Stand By Me
I Hope, I Think, I Know
The Girl In The Dirty Shirt
Fade In-Out
Don't Go Away
Be Here Now
All Around The World
It's Getting Better (Man!)
All Around The World (Reprise)
I have been fortunate enough to see Oasis play live on a number of occasions, and I agree that they were great. I would recommend Oasis Live to anyone.
Review Centre acknowledge that everyone has different opinions. Review Centre is here so that you can share your opinion on a product from your own perspective. In this case the moderator felt the review deserved its expert status due to the review containing a number of things, including statistics and a track list for readers who do not currently have the album etc.
If you have any further concerns regarding this, please can you use the contact form to send a message directly to Review Centre, and we will be happy to answer any further queries.
muddiedup, I don't believe you will find any of this info on the back cover of the CD apart from the list of song titles. If none of the info is of interest to you then probably the album will not be either, so maybe skip this one?! Or if I can enlighten you any further on the content I will be more than pleased to do so. But I suggest you ask your friends if they have the album, listen to it, then decide for yourself. It is very difficult for me writing a review on a band you obviously know nothing about, but I have tried my best. Maybe if you do buy the album you would please write a better, more in depth and accurate review than mine. I am sure the Moderators will judge it by it's content and whether it is helpful to others, as mine has been, and decide whether yours also should get Expert status. Many thanks!
Thank you all for your comments, it is nice to read even the negative one rather than just leave a negative rating, then at least when writing reviews I can try to rectify or add anything that is within my knowledge of any item! Once again, Thanks!
Sorry, but I got nothing from this review that I couldn't get from the back cover of the CD. And hence I would like to know why the Review Centre moderators gave this expert status.
