Oasis Knebworth 1996

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!

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!!!!

Jake Scott and Struan Clay, if you're reading this, THANK you for this beautifully conceived and made film. So much respect towards the fans and the film audience who can relive or just feel the atmosphere thanks to your hard work.

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.

Not being a big oasis fan before I saw this, the film really shows you how much the band meant and still means to people. I left the theatre believing that oasis truly were the real deal.
