Which oasis songs do you prefer the studio version over the live version ?

For me it's quite the opposite. I love Oasis live and mostly only listen to them live. the studio versions I rarely listen to.
Of the studio versions I only listen to songs that have never been played live

That's a tough one, because Oasis were such an amazing live band. This sounds really annoying, but one song I would pick would be She's Electric because Liam's vocals suit the song much better compared to Noels, who was no slouch when he sang it.

D'You Know What I mean. It loses many of those background layers and sounds. It's still great live too but I much prefer the studio version, especially the NG Rethink.

Most of the time I listen to the studio versions except for a few songs which I think sound more powerful live, like Columbia, Round are Way and Fade Away.

Like others, I ususally prefer Oasis songs live. They were a phenomenal live band (until the 00's)
For the early stuff I mostly prefer live versions bar D'You Know What I Mean? and Slide Away. DKWIM live is still awesome though. For Slide Away (or any other softer song for that matter), I never liked how Liam screamed instead of singing.
As for the Oasis MKII stuff, Stop Crying Your Heart out (Liam NEVER nailed that one live, he sounds like someone's torturing a Husky), Lyla (Kermit not even able to sing actual words), Shock of the Lightning because the live version doesn't do anything special except the drum solo.

I'd say 90% of their songs are better live.. But there are a few I prefer on record
Rockin' Chair
D'You Know What I Mean?
Where Did It All Go Wrong?
Sunday Morning Call
Love Like A Bomb
I'm Outta Time

I think he did a fine job tbh, I think the problem with SCYHO is that the Glastonbury 04 version completely overshadows any of the other performances and makes it easy to forget that he didn't always sound that terrible while singing it |

Outside of "Step Out" on FtM, I can't think of a live track that I prefer to a studio track.

Although he's at least singing in tune here and not screaming "holdaouaouw", he's still screaming his throat out like he does on Slide Away. On record, he's able to sing softer and get it right but when it's live he's not a good singer for those kinds of songs, or rather he refuses to be a good singer for those kinds of songs. He knows it, he even says that's how he wants to sing them, it's like a boxing match with the mic and all that so, fair enough but I don't like it. |

I haven't really thought about it to be honest and it's a hard one. But probably Stop Crying Your Heart Out and D' You Know What I Mean? However, there's a lot of Oasis songs which I like both live and on record the same and I wouldn't put one version over the other.

Agreed with the opinion that Liam tends to "overshout" ballads. Slide Away studio recording is superior to me to any live versions (even though the Knebworth "Now that you're MIIIIIINE" is glorious). Same with Stop Crying Your Heart Out.
Noel could never really nail The Importance of Being Idle live so much as how it's on the studio version. Headshrinker studio is better than any of the live versions (not that there are so many), even though I like the Live By the Sea and the River Thames versions. She's Electric is better with Liam, but Noel's live version is also very good. Wonderwall's original might in studio was never matched live. Sometimes it's too fast, sometimes it's too loud, it was very rarely as good as the studio track.

99% Studio. Once Liam stopped hitting (and holding) notes, it’s hard for me to enjoy much of their live material post ‘95-ish. Sorry, not a popular opinion I know, but just what I prefer.

In all honesty, I could go one step further and say I'm not interested in reforming the band if it's just to tour the current backcatalog - write new tunes together or stick to your solo stuff, boys. But I might get boo-ed off of the internet, so I won't.  |

More recent and obviously not Oasis, but Liam's performance of Greedy Soul at RAK studios (I think?) is out of this world. It's self-penned, the vocals are 10/10, it's just got that raw energy but with an unbelievably tight performance from everyone.
In my time as an Oasis fan (starting mid-00s), I'd never seen him better.

I agree with that, I don't want Oasis getting back together either, but to say their studio tracks are better than their live stuff is ludicrous |

It's a bit too polished for me to believe it's actually live. For What It's Worth for example, Liam can't sing like that live. |

I would like to draw both of your attention to this little known version fromt he first of 4 nights at the Yogio National Gymnasium in Tokyo. This is the best version I have heard him do live and honestly, its so well sung it might as well be an alternate studio cut (and he's doing it without autotune like on the studio recording. Noel actually ruins the performance a bit - Liam doesn't need any help here. |

I don't think Noel ruins it though, he's singing like he always did but Liam's spot on there! |

I find a lot of the studio versions too slow, especially compared to more modern live versions (I’m thinking C&A and Some Might Say in particular). Acquiesce just feels too slow in the studio (and maybe live before 2001/2)
Some songs which are much better on the studio recording:
DYKWIM,
Born on a Different Cloud,
To Be Where There’s Life,
(maybe)Hindu Times.
(maybe) Go Let it Out
