It's been played in cinemas, the footage has been used in the CNN interview, surely it's either going to be on TV or released as a DVD.
Maybe a good time to remember this:
Oasis' Noel Gallagher has stated that his band will never perform at the London O2 Arena, quashing rumours of a residency.
As previously reported on NME.COM, the Sunday Mirror quoted an anonymous source as saying that Oasis were close to announcing a ten-date London O2 Arena residency at the venue for this autumn.
Despite quashing the rumours, Gallagher suggested to BBC News that Oasis have plans to play live dates in the UK in 2008.
"We'll never play the O2," he said. "We went there to see Led Zeppelin [last December] and, to be honest, the gig was fantastic, but it was the most soul-destroying venue I've ever been to.
"Much to our manager and agent's disappointment we came back and said we would never play there. So it means we are going to have to do 640 nights at Earl's Court, I would have thought.
"[The O2 Arena is] too Americanised for me, and it's too far away. Any gig you can get to by boat that hasn't got a beach is wrong."

the director of it was Dick Carruthers, he's shot lots of concert footage. would they bring him in if they weren't planning a dvd release ?

The man constantly contradicts himself. Not too surprise. And Noel probably has forgotten his own statement as well. More than three years ago.

I wonder what made Noel change his mind? money That's what I thought, but don't you think he'd make more money from a residency with Oasis instead of one solo gig there? There's gotta more to it (or maybe his tour manager just booked and he couldn't be bothered with changing it).

There's gotta more to it (or maybe his tour manager just booked and he couldn't be bothered with changing it). Yeah, from interviews it seems that lately Noel has had a hands off approach with his tour manager. I believe in a recent interview he said that he was basically just given the list of tour dates and that he's only updated on upcoming legs of the tour that he'll be doing. So I don't think he's planning it down to the venue that they'll be doing. I think that he finds out the region that they'll be going to and learns of the exact venues after they've been booked.

think he meant Oasis will never play there, which to be fair as of right now is true...
cant imagine Oasis working in that venue at all, dont even know why but it seems better suited to a HFB gig...

Maybe it wasn't Noel that had the biggest problem with playing there. I'm sure the rest of the guys had an opinion about it too.
I'm sure the band decided it, not just Noel alone. And just because Noel was how we found out about the decision because he was rhe spokesman of the band doesn't mean that is was primarily his decision.
He doesn't like playing the Roundhouse and Oasis still played there.
But he did mentioned in an interview in Newcastle that he didnt enjoy the London O2 gig. Although he said it was because it was a bit "big"
