Oasis Be Here Now Live GMEX '97

Be Here Now Live in Manchester 1997.
Oasis lives forever

[@wrekadizzle6323]

This is better than the album version in my opinion, a real aggressive performance from Liam, one of there best gigs this.

[@adoniswarchild144]

Gotta agree

[@mancunian7011]

Yeeessss

[@oasis4life014]

Overproduced on the album

[@johnric364]

correct

[@shazmeister2005]

Yup, a decent but pretty mediocre song on the album whereas here it’s got groove and it’s a real rocker. Liam’s voice is absolutely on point here, it’s aggressive but clear and absolutely in tune.

[@chrissme555]

Most people and critics say, oh, bere here now was no good compared to their earlier stuff (DM, WTSMG), thinking they're real fucking smart. Only coz it didn't have songs like Live Forever or Wonderwall on it. But honestly, when I'm driving in my car and the sun is out and I wanna have a good time, I ALWAYS reach for Be Here Now. Not to mention that '97 was probably Oasis' greatest live tour...

[@jamesbailey4211]

One of my fav albums of all time to be fair. Fuck the critics

[@jasonfylan-mares7963]

I could not possibly agree with you more.

[@mattsmith1173]

Be Here Now was the best of the lot... mainly cause it was thrown together...all the best tunes,albums are made that way

[@MrLcovas]

BHN is absolutely FANTASTIC

[@thewave8468]

The only way I disagree with you is that Dont Go Away and Stand By Me were both every bit as good as Wonderwall, but other than that completely agree its f*cking brilliant

[@macauleyhughes8599]

Power in that voice is ridiculous.

[@DaannyHD]

Macauley Hughes Even Noel agrees om that at 5:16

[@UncleMarcusMonsonster]

Noel or liam?

[@thelad789]

It's actually on the decline here but still world class. And yeah probably the best version of this song ever with the vocal inflections and added words.

[@Fmfcg]

@@thelad789 I always thought be here now was already the end of Liam's best vocal era but the more I look at it now he still absolutely owned it here it's just good voice sounds different

[@oasis4life014]

His voice was definitely on the decline but it’s still unreal but after be here now it was never the same

[@marcobigliardi8788]

You never heard of The Beatles so your opinion is irrelevant

[@Goldeneye415]

"Good evening, town!" Always gives me a laugh.

[@barneyfountain]

Hello, Texas!

[@matteoviola5760]

That’s because in English cities people do not call the center of the city “city center” but “town”

[@TheMusicalElitist]

@@matteoviola5760lol, it isn’t. Stop trying to sound clever..

[@tyroneevelyn]

@@TheMusicalElitistI’m from Cardiff City and and me and my fellow Cardiffians refer to going out in the city as “let’s go town” we never say “let’s go city centre” just doesn’t feel right

[@benjaminklenz9844]

[@kooj22]

[@bigjam8429]

[@SpiritOfMontgomery]

As much as I’d love it, they’ll probably open up with one of Hello, Columbia, or Acquiesce

[@theessay2530]

Fun fact; the man who opens the door was the director for the lights and nic-name was bear!

[@betacall9634]

Opening song of a concert and the whole joint is jumping out of their clothes by 1:30. There will never be another Oasis, ever.

[@joshdeegan91]

Love how Noel comes on and says "Good evening, Town". NO-ONE in Manchester refers to it as Manchester City Centre, it's known only as Town to the locals.

[@dylanfrank2464]

That’s the same everywhere, I live in Birmingham but no one says they’re going to city centre, we just say we’re going into town and that’s why I love England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@ScorpioRising89]

Best opener in Oasis history, such an underrated tune and such a shame in the latter years they didn’t open up with it or play it live much at all

[@StrettyHS313]

What baffles me is how powerful his voice is this night compared to the rest of the Be Here Now tour yet this was in December. Well after it started. I can't find another performance with the same amount of power.

[@leemcqueen500]

StrettyHS 313 His voice in new york was just as good.

[@tc8066]

StrettyHS 313 - It's a hometown gig. Bands always take it up a notch as something to prove - worth the travel.

[@Illusive23]

Cocaine mate

[@betacall9634]

Their Mum was there that night, so maybe he gave it just a bit more. Watch Fade In Out from this gig where he screams MAMA at the beginning. Gotta love two lads from working class no one ever escapes to become the biggest band in the world...a meteorite story to do their Mum proud.

[@SIideAway]

Because its the first perfomance of that tour. So his voice was rested and recovered. After this night it went to partying, traveling and touring nonstop- fucks with his voice + the throat disease wich he has. You can clearly hear how tired his voice is later on this very same night, when they play D'you know what i mean. He's shouting and giving it everything he got, wich is fucking stupid in the long run, but its fucking badass. Its Liam.

[@cahillkieran]

All the bad press be here now got was completly unwarranted . What a great album. Remember the first time I got this album when it was released .and when do yer kno what I mean was released as a single , my god what great times . Bought it on tape and just wow what a great single . Then magic pie , my big mouth and all around the world . Not to mention the rest of the songs . They Basically shaped the 90s for me .

[@StrettyHS313]

INSIDE! Sounds like a fucking velociraptor the way he snarls that. His 1997 voice was epic.

[@fog812]

it was so much powerful than any other year

[@CorradoNigro]

fantastic performance by Liam!!

[@osiasu]

This is easily up there with their greatest tunes, even better live! Dunno why BHN gets a bad rap, it's fucking class! C'mon!

[@casperoomen9111]

Because it makes songs like magic pie and it’s getting better man 7 min long And it’s over produced And it lacks class that wtsmg has Be here now is a great tune though

[@jamie8037]

Songs are too long and filled with random nonsense noises that just detract from the band themselves

[@alexdiaz8354]

Probably my favourite song of the band, I love how it sound in the EP

[@RobParry1]

[@MrMiguelo80]

I cant believe that they are goin on saying that Be Here Now was no a good album...It sounds sooo great to me, Jesus!!!

[@casperoomen9111]

Yes live it sounds amazing But on the album it doesn’t

It's only Noel from the band who hates Be Here Now. Liam & Bonehead still defend it to this day.

[@synthhero1347]

Being a teenager in the 90s and from Scotland this was the most important gig and album of all time

[@Gavaldo]

You Bet Ya.👍. I saw them at Loch Lomond and before that at ingilston exhibition centre in January 96 at the end of DM tour but in September 1997 i travelled up to Aberdeen for the BHN concert which was absolutely outstanding. It’s actually been said in interviews with Noel & Alan McGee that that show was in the top 5 shows he’d witnessed Oasis play. It was just Insane with limbs & people fainting everywhere. It was so great that people just lost their minds for the 2 hours. The sound was mega loud & Liam was on another level with his vocals. Just an incredible experience. Best time I saw them was during this tour. ✌️👍✌️

I've been fortunate enough to see Oasis live 6 times including at Radio City Garden Theater, New York City, in front row. Trust me, Liam looked straight at me, came to me and said hello, cheers! Their live performances are in a class of their own. The power of their music is so strong that the crowd can't stop singing and jumping.

[@Wolfdragon92584]

Be Here Now has such an unbridled spirit, its heart is totally in the right place. I just wish it were mixed differently. The demos of the songs were supposedly superior, and after listening to Fade In/Out (the 1 song which WAS largely based on its demo), I have to concur that it sounds far more organic than much of the rest of the album. The songs are fantastic, but you can tell the pressure was bearing on the band; walls were cracking and they were spreading themselves thin at times. Still a great album. 1997 was my favorite year EVER.

[@danielrogers6928]
