Oasis - Live by the sea

At five in the morning, lagged up in his Southend hotel room, Noel Gallagher turned to a friend and said, "It was only a year ago when we put out our first single!" It was a statement that forcefully brought home the huge phenomenon that is Oasis. Feisty, contrary, belligerent, highly talented and music fixated to an almost unhealthy degree, Noel's uniquely crafted songs, aligned with Liam Gallagher's inimitable vocals and a devastating wall of sound, have swept all before them, rightfully triggering a huge response from those who know the real deal when it comes along. And that's only the records. On stage, Oasis give it even more energy, attitude and vision, their constant touring, ("Who the fook wouldn't want to do this for the rest of their lives?" Noel once innocently asked) turning them into one of the most exciting and dynamic attractions around. Free to do whatever they want, this film captures in motion the best thing to have happened to British Pop in a long while. The 90's start here.
