Oasis Knebworth 1996

Probably a bit biased as a lifelong fan, but had to say my piece.

Just finished watching the first showing of O-LAK and it was epic. Supersonic gave us the story of the band and Knebworth puts us right in the mix.

This is Oasis at their peak, the very top of their game. You can feel the atmosphere and energy... '96 was an epic year in the UK and this film captures it well.

I tried to get tickets but wasn't one of the chosen ones, so this has to do.... and do it does!

Its loud, proud and raw. And its good.

Do yourself a favour... go see this on the big screen.

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!

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!

An incredible moment in time becomes even more incredible in hindsight. No phones, no cameras, no internet.... just the good old days. A huge band captured at their greatest height as they deliver a rock solid performance just before the money, fame, and drugs took one last gargantuan bite and never returned Oasis the same. Excellent cinematography and sound accompany the festivities, but I do believe the true star of this is the crowd. All 125,000 per night, singing, dancing, bouncing to every note. Such a beautiful thing to watch for anyone with a heartbeat!

The best of all the things that come our way.

Heartfelt and honest as they always were. A wonderful document of a momentous occasion. I've lived in Stevenage since I was two and Knebworth has always been a part of my life and it was cemented in 1996 with Oasis. A very special place.
