Has anyone got any screen grabs from Supersonic where people's faces are masked out? Only saw it once at the cinema and didn't notice it at all! I bought the dam thing and have watched it like 5 times and haven't noticed .....guess I'm not looking their way Its not just the faces that are gone. Alan White and most of his drum kit are masked out. For example look at the Letterman performance... |

Didn't Noel say his original idea of an Oasis documentary was focusing on the Knebworth gig? Then it was turned down by the director as he believed telling the story of the first 3 years of the band is much better than doing a film about a gig. So it's basically 'Knebworth' or 'Supersonic', and they went for Supersonic.

Guigsy and Alan being edited out of the Supersonic footage casts a lot of doubt about this being released now (at least as a video). |

As much as Knebworth is talked about and as much as it would be nice to have it on DVD, I don't think it is THE iconic Oasis gig. It's by far the biggest, but the real iconography is them playing Maine Road. The symbolism is powerful - lads from a northern working class estate, playing to tens of thousands of people, many of whom are from the exact same social background as the band. The people on stage are from the crowd, and any of the crowd could believe they could be on that stage with them. Take into context the environment of where they were playing too - playing in a rickety old football stadium that is home to an unglamorous football team set against a background of Victorian terraced housing just adds to that authenticity. If L.S. Lowry was alive then, that's the image he would have painted of 1990s Manchester. A display of working class solidarity that seemed so deeply embedded in the north of England's communal way of living. That's also why Oasis are so important in Britain; it's not just the great songs, it's the fact they were part of the social fabric. Maybe that's why so many faceless middle/upper class ponces don't get them because it derives from a culture that is completely alien to them, or certainly a culture which they sneer at. Maine Road, to many of the folk that attended, is the stuff that dreams are made of. And I haven't even talked about how great their performances were over those two nights. They are the greatest music gigs to have ever taken place in Britain. You Sir, have put into words what other people can't put into images. Thank you for this. |

I think it's different for a video release, since Knebworth wasn't filmed by Creation but by a 3rd company. I'm sure guigsysEstring can tell you more about this. |

Big Brother Recordings Ltd for the recordings which is forty percent each owned by the brothers with the remainder held ten percent each by Alec McKinley and Marcus Russell. The rights to trademarks such as the name and touring, etc. I would presume are currently held as a partnership as previous when the band was active, and as this relates directly to individuals not limited companies the details are not available from Companies House. I would assume however LG and NG control it in a similar format to Big Brother, with management perhaps taking commission directly on any earnings in lieu of shares and dividends which are done in such way for tax purposes.

What's the deal with it? Supersonic was the best promo for a release of these shows. Could it be that Whitey and Guigsy are against it, like somebody said in a different thread? Are there problems with the recording? Did Noel wiped the tapes for an unseen video clip of She Is Love? 25th-anniversary? 30? Did they make a mistake with not releasing it after Supersonic? They could make a pretty good live dvd box from the 90's. I don't like it when we as fans get milked, but if they do it, do it right. Live shows, vinyl singles box... Don't come with an incomplete reissue with quotes from a 19 year old magazine. Any good album titles? Fake artworks? We will soon find out what's really on the blu-ray/2nd and 3rd dvd... |

Also tagging @tjalke Shame that Guigsy doesn't pop on here much any more, was always so informative with this sort of stuff. |
