Hanging out with Oasis!!! Jun 13, 2009
Oh Man, do i enjoy this DVD set!! Picked it up the other day, on the fly, just "in the mood" for some Oasis. Opened it up and decided to watch the concert footage first (disc two) - instantly knew I made the right choice to purchase this one. The Manchester concert has got to be one of the best filmed concert of the past 10 years! Great shots of the band, great sound quality, and the guys are performing at the top of their game (one of those great shows where you can tell the band is having a great time).
Move on to the documentary "Lord Dont Slow Me Down" on disc one, time to see what happens on the road, behind the scenes with these characters, I use the term "charators" cause these guys (Gallagher brothers) do have personality. They are obviously not ashamed to say they love the life their leading (life in a massive rock band), towards the end of the tour (and film) you can tell they are getting worn down, but who wouldn't? But beneath the surface you can just get that feeling that they're doing what they love. And, there in lies the appeal of Oasis, they ENJOY what they do, appreciate the fans, and have a great time (but take their craft seriously).
If your a fan of Oasis, this will not let you down. If your new to Oasis, check this out, see what all the fuzz has been about for the past 15 years. It's a Great Documentary and a fantastic concert film all rolled into one package.

A video record of the Gallagher Brothers & Co. conquering the world in 2005 in the wake of the success of that year's "Don't Believe The Truth" cd. Liam plods on like he always does while Noel truly shines. The concert disc is well worth the purchase.

Just a great DVD. The audio and visual is fabulous. Without a doubt, one of my favorite music DVD's.
Excellent..... Jan 15, 2009
This 2 DVD set comes highly recommended for the Oasis fan who already has the 2 first concert DVD's. The hour long documentary is interesting and the live show is well done, showing the band's evolution as a live act. I was particularly interested in seeing Zak Starkey as their drummer. He, as well as the rest of the band do an excellent job in this 2005 show from Manchester. Once again, highly recommended.....
It's the Concert, Stupid Oct 23, 2008
There is one problem with this DVD set and one problem only: the marketing. It is packaged as a documentary with a bonus concert. It SHOULD have been packaged as a concert with a bonus documentary. Because the concert is the meat of this. For my money the sound, the showmanship, and the virtuoso performances captured here are better than Live by the Sea, better than There and Then, better even than Familiar to Millions. (Also making this better than FtM is the lack of those pretentious "visuals" inserts.) Oasis is the greatest [live] band in the world and it has never been on greater display than it is here. The cinematography is gorgeous, the sound is amazing, and the music is Oasis. What more could you want?
I wish they had done one of these for Be Here Now and Heathen Chemistry, but oh well, I'll take what I can get. Also a companion CD for this one would be nice.
(I also admit I got kinda sick during "Rock 'n' Roll Star," as the director uses a nonstop series of pans and zooms with increasing tempo to convey a frantic energy, to nauseating effect. If you have a sensitive stomach you might want to listen that one with your eyes closed.)
That said, the documentary is also very enjoyable, although perhaps too moody, atmospheric, and abstract for the tastes of some. For a really good time, turn on the commentary track. Noel and the band basically riff their own movie (including plenty of slagging on Liam), and it is hilarious.
