I also enjoyed it very much! The fan stories were short and sweet and it was lovely seeing everybody having a good time, first and foremost Liam himself. Oh and we got to hear some of the band talking!

Just got home. I really enjoyed it too. The gig footage was mega. Brought back some great memories.

Just watched it. It was alright but a little annoyed they didn't include any of the second night as that was the one I was at.

Obviously everything has a timeline to work towards
But this was like
'that’ll do' . Very rushed .. political images in there ? What the fuck
And I guess it could of probably have done with not just showing more power for the first 45 minutes of the documentary

They focused on Brexit and other aspects about Britain’s issues during Covid and what not. I was fine with it initially because it was a real issue for people but it was brought up too many times, it took the focus away from Liam and Knebworth too often which I didn’t like. They only scratched the surface about when Liam was down and struggling.. I would have loved if it was 20% fan stories, 30% Liam’s resurrection then and 50% on stage performances & backstage footage. |

Sounds terrible especially adding all the political stuff. Liam would of achieved this regardless of any politics. How come he can show the full knebworth set with oasis songs yet it can’t be in the doc!? Anyone know?

I assume that as with MTV Unplugged 2019, footage of the entire set can air on TV/Web but cannot be released on DVD |

If you are connected to the daily life you will find the difference between 90's and the post 2000 thing. I really really loved the film. Because is about me, us. There's a lot of pain nowadays and some oasis-related release is always a reminder of the joy of the past, some kind of pill you take to improve the performance. I felt a lot identified, I found very gratifying that there's other oasis fans like me, in trouble, in the middle of the passing of the time, looking back for that confort of youth, I don't know. Is very real to bring the pandemic, the politics, the suffering, the family to the table. At the same time, the live footage... you know when a song is good enough when you don't need to cut a second in order to entertain. Some song didn't deserve to be there. More Power / Once / The River fuckin MEGA! 4/5 |

I guess it was a pretty big gig post covid so understandable that was mentioned, and British politics is pretty fucked so Knebworth was some nice escapism.
Generalising a bit here but usually when people say ‘too much politics’ they mean they don’t like anything they’re opposed to being brought up…so maybe Tory voters won’t like the film! If not from the UK I could definitely understand not liking those aspects though

Three persons (my girlfriend and me included) in my cinema… Anyways, it’s always amazing to watch Oasis/Liam/Noel related stuff in the big screen.

Liam is great at that usually. I want to go see a band or watch a sport for entertainment and escape the daily news etc. Far too many bands and sports now bring it into what they do. I’d much rather the 2 stay separate for me personally. But whatever! |

Saw it yesterday in the cinema! Was amazing to watch it on the big screen and relive the amazing time at Knebworth.
I was at the Saturday gig and they only showed concert footage from Friday which I'm ok with, but what I found weird was that they didn't even mention all that much that there were two gigs.
They should have emphasized it more that Liam not only sold out one but two Knebworth gigs. And since there were even more people on Saturday, it would have been nice if they would have showed more of that instead only Friday. Like I thought they are being too humble in that movie!
Overall I'm really glad they made this movie to capture Liam's very special Knebworth gigs and that generations to come will be able to watch it <3

I wonder what the loophole is that allows stuff like Down By The River and Knebworth 22 to feature Oasis tracks if they are streaming but not cinema showings. Home video releases have always been this way but streaming is a newer game in town so I guess there's more grey areas.

If not from the UK I could definitely understand not liking those aspects though Well someone from overseas here, and I think all around the world we know the UK is a car crash when it comes to politics/brexit, etc. But I think it’s been really tough for everyone with covid over the last three years, and we’re still not really through it. So those parts resonated with me for sure. Liam was the first (and so far only) big concert I’ve been to since the start of 2020, and even in New Zealand I had a lot of similar feelings - that seeing him and rocking out was just an amazing thing to look forward to and enjoy in a pretty difficult landscape at the moment. Seeing the movie on Friday brought back those feelings too and has left me in a pretty happy place.  |

Respect to the folks who went out to the cinemas to watch this release. I was super happy to find out it will be premiering on Paramount+ in December. Definitely gong to stream it and will probably skip all the fan/political stuff. I'm not sure if I read this correctly, but it sounds like they may be releasing the full gig for streaming as well. That would be mega.

Was enjoyable. Wanted more footage of the show. C'mon Noel. Will do a month of Paramount+ to watch the actual gig. That will be way better  |

You listed 3 people I don’t listen to. So you prove my point. Liam doesn’t do politics (usually) and I personally like that. Each to their own. |

The thing is I'm guessing that there won't be a dvd release of both of the full concerts which is a shame as no doubt Noel will block the Oasis songs again. But it's stupid because doesn't he realise that he'll benefit from the sales of the dvd and make money out of it as well as Liam.
As for Paramount + showing the concerts (or at least one of them) I guess they've got special permission or something.

Gig looked fantastic, sounded fantastic, some funny lines from the man himself as well.
It was an ok watch. Noel is crucifying him by with holding the Oasis songs and this film would have been half an hour long had it not been padded out with some largely tragic fan non-sense.
I'd have filled it out with info how to put together shows of this size (staging, lights, sound, crew, security), setlist discussions and pre-faced it with more about his solo career instead of "I thought we'd struggle to fill arenas so Knebworth is fookin top" as though he hasn't worked his arse off for 5 - 6 years as a solo artist to get here.
