Thank The Lord....Oasis Are Back !




















Review: 5 Stars

OASIS – LORD DON’T SLOW ME DOWN:

It’s not before time that Oasis release their first-ever tour DVD – and somewhat surprising that they haven’t made one before now.

How much more entertaining and debauched it would have been had it been made during the Be Here Now tour in 1997 is anyone’s guess.

Fast-forward a decade and both Gallagher brothers have babies, and the days of bragging about drug-taking and throwing punches at photographers are few and far between.

But that’s not to say this documentary does not have its fair share of hedonism and swaggering.

The band are followed as they travel 26 countries on their biggest world tour to date, playing to a total of two million people. The concert footage is as good as you’d expect from one of the world’s greatest bands.

But perhaps more interesting are the scenes cut in between of the lads warming up for gigs, relaxing afterwards, or seeing the sights as they travel to Australia, Japan, and the US.

The brothers are as cocky as ever – check out Liam bombing around Sydney harbour in a speedboat with a bottle of lager.

Press conferences are equally amusing as Liam and Noel in particular use the opportunity to show off and try to make fools of the journalists.

Another hilarious scene has a tipsy Charlotte Church introducing her friends over and over again to Noel, who looks on with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.

As well as the more amusing moments, there’s also semi-serious chat about the music and the band’s history.

Extras are plentiful and are among the highlights here.

There’s a bonus audio commentary, a full concert from the City Of Manchester Stadium shot in July 2005, and outtakes from the DVD.

But the best of the extras has to be the Noel Q&A session with fans, where the great man is on typically witty, arrogant form.
