Rating: Summary: Disappointing arrangement Review: I enjoy Oasis but I was disappointed by the arrangement of this DVD. The crowd noise drowns out many of the vocals. If you've always wanted to hear the crowd sing along with Oasis then buy this, if not then save you money for the CD's.
Rating: Summary: Even better than expected.... Review: I had high expectations for this DVD, and I was happy to have them exceeded. There are a few flaws- 1) the 5.0 sound is pretty good, but it is VERY (read: too) conservative in volume and bass, and 2) the set list is good but omits a few of Oasis' best songs. With that said, the picture is as good as a NTSC gets, it's very nicely directed with high energy camera work and video bits mixed in at appropriate times, and the gig itself is quite good. If this DVD was only the concert it would merit 4 stars. As a bonus, the extras are almost worthy of a 2nd DVD. In addition to playing with different camera angles, there is a fun documentary showing rabid fans before, during and after the concert and a short but sweet interview with each of the Gallagher brothers in seperate locations. There are many other good extras, but the best is the seperate video clips that were assembled for the screens behind the band during the gig. These 5 videos are set to the original studio music tracks and would make wonderful REAL music videos- better than almost everything on MTV these days. I won't ruin the surprise for you, but I suggest watching the videos before the concert- AT LEAST the one for "Live Forever". If you like Oasis and have a DVD player, consider this a must purchase. If you want to experience a great Rock and Roll concert at home, it doesn't get much better than this.

Rating: Summary: Great show, terrible mix! Review: I have nothing but great things to say about the performance of Oasis on this DVD. It's a great concert...if you stay far far away from the 5.1 surround mix. It might be the worst mixed 5.1 sound I have ever heard. They managed to simulate what a concert sounds like if you're listening from the back of the stadium in the bathroom. The sound is muttled and has no dynamic range at all. Whoever mixed this also forgot something called THE CENTRE CHANNEL. Hello? Anyone home? Most live DVD concerts have the vocals mixed through the centre channel so you can clearly hear what singer is saying. Not the case here. Liam's vocals are buried with the rest of instruments. The surround channels are only used for the crowd noise and not much else. It's standard practice but not terribly exciting. On the flip side, the regular 2 channel PCM mix is great. If you run it through a Pro Logic2 receiver you should be able to get a good listening experience out of it. The bonus features are great. It's loaded with visuals used in the actual show, some multi-angle sequences and a pretty good documentary.
Rating: Summary: Are you mad fer it? Review: I have totally enjoyed this DVD, since I bought it in England. It is fantastic! It feels you are right there w/ the crowd! The music sounds great, the picture is crystal clear, and the essence is pure British rock at the finest. The different camera angles on "Cigarettes and Alcohol" make you feel you are the director of the show. The wit onstage is hilarious w/ a slight scuffle of Noel vs. Liam. It is a classic, must-buy for any Oasis fan. Especially if you are mad fer it. Cheers!
Rating: Summary: What's wrong with the audio? Review: I just got this DVD today and am totally disappointed with the audio. It's incredibly muddy 5.0 with very little high end. It's intolerable. What's up? There has to be a flaw in this DVD or my setup.
Rating: Summary: Must own for even casual Oasis fans Review: I own all of the Oasis CD's, and I am a huge fan of theirs. But this DVD is simply amazing. The audio is perfect quality, with just the right amount of crowd noise mixed with the band to set a great atmosphere. I own DVD concerts by U2, Bruce Springsteen, and Travis, and this Oasis DVD blows them all away with its amazing editing and good bonus features. Step Out, Don't Look Back in Anger, and Rock and Roll Star are simply perfect on this DVD. I highly recommend this DVD!!!

Rating: Summary: A Rock & Roll Super Production Review: I was not an Oasis fan, i like many songs that i listen to through the past years (and watched the videos on MTV). But i have not any CD of them. At first, i wanted to buy the double CD set, but i prefered to bought the DVD. This concert is really amazing, the stadium,the images, the sound,the stage, the Gallager brothers, the crowd, this is much more than i was expecting. Now, i really say that Oasis is one of the better rock & roll bands in the history of England. Now, i am an Oasis new fan.
Rating: Summary: A Must For All Oasis Fans Review: I watched this DVD as soon as I got it in the mail, and was not disappointed. On top of the excellent concert footage, which gives an accurate feel to actually being at an Oasis concert, the extras are a welcomed addition. The brothers Gallagher put on a supurb performance, along with new band members Gem Archer and Andy Bell on lead and bass, respectively. The new guys have taken the band to a new level musically, as can easily be seen on the DVD.
