Oasis - Columbia (Live by the sea 1995)

[@gazzkane]

Liam's voice sounds fucking amazing here and Tony's nailing it on the drums. Best version of Columbia I've ever heard

[@patlucas8227]

the whole gig is the very best you will ever hear of oasis live....columbia..some might say..live forever..headshrinker..rock n roll star.? to walk on stage and smash the opening track like that.?..just pure class..and then theres supersonic...sick vocals and lead guitar...just wow...the whole gig is just bangin and there is no other recorded live shows available that come close to how good this performance was...there is however one negative thing i can say about it and that is that i was not there to receive some form of permanent damage to my hearing

I agree. This is the best gig that they ever filmed. The Tony Mac era of Oasis is the closest I ever got to having my own Beatles.

[@stevens5541]

@@BoardLPs actually it was bonehead,guigsey and mccarroll that had the Grove to the song and was supposed to be an instrumental for Liam to walk on stage, all this before noel joined oasis....the real people said the lyrics of the start of the song and suggested the come on come on part and yeah yeah yeah part...Liam wrote one verse and noel another verse th second one...so basically it was the only song were they all contributed plus the real people.....but noel did steal other songs from the real people like don't go away and rocking chair and probably others plus histone songs or parts of songs from lots of other bands.

[@jonasrmb01]

@@BoardLPs the real people wrote the opening line liam wrote the "i can't tell you the way i feel" bit and noel only wrote the "what i've heard is not what i hear" bit and the instrumental(except for noel's lead probably) was a pre-noel band jam

Fantastic drummer

[@nickknowles8402]

best harmonies ive ever heard. two completely different voices synchronizing

[@Drenwickification]

It's good but come on let's not exaggerate. The Beatles and beach boys both had much better harmonies

[@Gaenico]

+Drenwickification "Better", what does that means? Is an A better than an Em or a C. Come on dude, music is art, not fuckin" competition ..

[@mauritzfredzell3589]

+Gaenico well said brother

[@Drenwickification]

+Gaenico well what you've said applies to the original comment as well, so it's ridiculous to say these are the best harmonies ever

[@MrJohnPaulRingoGeorg]

+Drenwickification The Beatles are one of the best bands that ever existed, but much of their fans are wankers that criticise other bands

[@stevens5541]

Best version ever, drums are mega the guitars are epic and loud and liams vocals are smooth and crisp but with a insane growl and the harmonies are perfect...flawless.

[@Lurkzz]

Sounds corny but Oasis has taken me through a lot of tough times by giving me the "fuck it, I'm unstoppable" feeling through their songs. This is a perfect example.

the whole fucking band is godlike. its never the same without noel, bonehead and whichever drummer is in the band at that moment, saw liam live in leeds a few weeks ago, his voice was outstanding consider what it has been and sounds like 94-96 liam just much deeper but thats ageing! the music was nothing compared to bonehead, noel and tony though!

Liam's voice was so powerful back in the day. I purchased this on VHS when it was first released from the record store...back when those still existed. Brought it home, put it in, cranked the home stereo to 10 and just let my fuckin brain melt. Proper rock n roll

[@chrisjones1931]

@@shredder9536 u used to be able to get certain plug point leads that u connect from plugging into the back or the vcr and then to either a hi fi unit or connect the lead from the vcr to the back of the hi fi speaker (which back then all vcr's and hi fi's were usually near each other in the living room) then swicth aux sound on vcr and, voila, the sound would be transfered to hi fi speaker from tv instead of coming out of tv, it would triple the sound of tv speakers and be clearer, as when u turned up the tv really loud in 90's, most tv's didn't have the quality and clarity of quality of todays modern tv's and the old ones usually sounded distorted and crackly loud and some would tremor when loud, TV's were huge units back then, almost as deep as they were wide and heavy, a big tv would usually take 2 people to move! Transferring the sound to hi fi speakers via certain leads gave it a bit of surround sound, like being at the gig plus much louder. The 90's :)
