This is the first rock band documentary I have seen, so I don't really know how it compares to others, but I was thoroughly impressed with it. You get to really see what it's like being on tour with one of the biggest bands out there. Footage ranges from radio show interviews, to awkward meet-the-fan sessions, to concert footage (note: there are only a couple songs shown in concert throughout the whole film, and I think Don't Look Back In Anger is the only one played in its entirety).

One problem with the documentary though is how little we hear from Zak Starkey, Andy Bell, or Gem. All play an influential role in the band, but we only get a word or two out of them the whole time, despite them often being present. We hear more from Sergio Pizzorno (lead singer from Kasabian) than any non-Gallagher member of Oasis. Noel and Liam stay true to form and provide good entertainment throughout the film though. Kasabian and Jet also feature on the documentary (both were support bands for Oasis world tour).

While there are some flaws with this documentary, it is still very entertaining to watch. Also, the live concert filmed at the City Of Manchester Stadium is reason enough to buy the DVD. The band sound great and put on an equally great show.

In 1995 I 'discoverded' Oasis and they where the biggest 'kick' i got out of music in years.Although in my mid -30's here was a band , which revived my teen-years-excitement and love for say..the Beatles.... They'r first two albums , had me going for years.what a sound , and what a songwriter talent in Noel !.And wow , Liam , what a vocalist! In the following years this Band always has a warm place in my heart , for what they've accomplished in my musical soul... anyway... Here we are 12 years further on the road... I watched LDSD and...wow..is it a boooring piece of 'film'...! camera shakes make you dizzy..and it's very uncomfortable to watch.... The Band sounds Like a 'Moloch' A huge monstrous music-industry-creation with all these stadium mega concerts...pffff... the concert registration-part...well , i could'nt finish it...how 'heavy' these guys 'music became... the concert part has nothing to add to the other one.. 'familiar to millions' which carries the same atmosphere. the documentary part well , hard to watch because of the camera shake, terrible camera work and not much of an atmosphere captured by the film crew.... Oh yeh , the converted Collor into b&W video-conversion...doesn't do the trick at all !

I was hoping for a great piece of ' oasis on the road '.. ... and a pity we don't see any more depth in the other oasis members , Gem , Zack and..wha'ts his name. etc....

If you want to see oasis live as the band that 'shook the world' I advice you watch ' There and Then ' or (little lesser) live by the sea...

now there's rebellious verile sounding fresh originality.

Lord don't slow me down shows a Monster very much being slowed down ! only for past excitement , this film rates 2*.
