OASIS DISASTER: Their Worst Gig Ever, Explained & Subtitled (Wembley Stadium, 2000)

Hello all - I've done my best with my transcription of what Liam says, but let me know below if you can hear something different :) JH

I was there. It wasn’t the best. Then I went to work the next day, fell 72 feet through a roof and spent 14 months in a coma. True story. Rough time.

I’m not gonna lie.. my respect for Noel went up astronomically after this performance. He kept it as professional as he could; also kudos to the rest of the band for truckin as well.

My respect for Noel has gone up massively after seeing this. I do believe Liam has calmed down now and Noel is stubborn. But with all the shit he went through for 15 years there’s no wonder why he is stubborn!

I’ve never really been a fan of the band, but one concert in the mid 90s that was recorded is burned in to memory. ‘Liam lost his voice and therefore not performing’. Noel sings the gig. Liam is in the theatre 100ft away in a balcony seat drunk, screaming at Noel, the crowd, laughing. Noel was seething.

This is why I think Noel does not want to get the band back. Because he lived through all of it. I find it quite surprising how people blame Noel for leaving when this was what he was dealing with. And if anything, it has actually done Liam a lot of good. Not only did his seriousness towards signing improve, but also his life turned around as well. And Noel had to shield Liam from a lot of things. After Oasis, Liam realized how hard it is to manage all other aspects of a performer's life and knew he had to straighten up.

best line ever written, " thank you for the sun, that shines on everyone that deals drugs. " we got a hit!

I cannot believe that just 24 hours before this night, they performed one of their best live shows of all time.

How Noël kept the band together trying to make an audience happy is beyond me. The stress he must have been under. I was at Knebworth which was great, but I do remember people shouting "play something we know!" Lol 😅

Liam Gallagher is simultaneously the biggest knobhead and funniest person to ever live

Probably the most interesting part of this to me, is that moment when you can tell a huge portion of the crowd has had enough of Liam's antics, so after Noel finishes one of his lead songs, they broke into a spontaneous "Noel! Noel! Noel!", as if to have him take over the rest of the set himself, ala "MTV Unplugged" (which, now that I think about it, probably would've ended up similar to this if Liam hadn't dropped out). Would've been interesting if he'd just "Liam is obviously unwell, I'll take it from here", haha. I mean, we know he can do it!

this is probably my favourite video on youtube and single handedly got me (back) into oasis and listen beyond their first 3 albums

I have this 2-CD live album and I knew they performed over 2 nites and the 2nd nite was shit cause Liam was drunk/stone, whatever. But the fact to learn the engineers took vocals from another performance in an earlier Japan show to mix this CD is truly amazing. Hats off to the folks behind the boards for this magical creation.

I was actually embarrassed about this gig. I went with my first love and we'd spent hours on the phone (as you did in those days) in the December of 99 trying to get tickets. Oasis were my life and I'd been to Earls Court in 95, Knebworth in 96, and saw them in Brum on the 'Be Here Now' tour in 97, so foolishly I really built this up for her, then we travelled down from Redditch on a lovely sunny day in 2000 to the big smoke for the gig, and it was appalling. Worse still, her Dad who was a musician himself was watching on the tele back in Redditch and I got it in the ear when we got home about how s&%t Oasis were lol, gutted. At least Doves were great haha.

I was there with my best mate, traveled from Paris, arrived early in the morning, got drunk all day long with a group of Englishmen, waiting outside the entry gates. We were too busy getting completely smashed in the crowd to realize how dreadful the gig was. It sounded allright to us! I remember Liam talking a lot and understanding strictly nothing of what he was on about...

Noel deserves a medal 🏅 for not losing it and doing one ☝️

Familiar To Millions (the CD) is one of my favourite albums ever. I've listened to it inside out. But I had no idea of this backstory, or that it was patched up in post to make it a listenable live album. I suspected as much as I watched this video, as the bits that were used sounded so recognisable to the CD, but I was doubting myself initially because of the omitted stuff that I hadn't heard before. Fascinating. Great video

This Guy: I get the feeling Liam's wife cleaned out the apartment and he went home to an empty place Me: Boy, that's a pretty specific guess, seems a bit presumptuous don't you think? Liam: And there she goes with more furniture without leaving a fucking teabag! Me: Well, then...

A lot of this is quite hard to watch. But Noel does such a good job of passing it off and being genuinely funny in between songs

Ah man, we dismiss Liam's antics as long as he can also showcase his immense talent and frontman skills. But intentionally sabotaging the gig...it suddenly seems not worth it anymore. The meanest is 19:55 quietly telling Noel he's ugly. There's no bravado, just being as hurtful as he can to try put him off performing. Such a shame. These two at their peak can conquer the world!
