Oasis Glastonbury 2004 "Columbia"

[@Stones007]

Born in 1989, and I know how you feel. But all I can tell you is don't let anyone else change your music tastes. You know what's the best of the best (The Beatles, Oasis), so don't mind those tossers.

[@dynamicdave2647]

Columbia is oasis’s best true rock and roll song.

[@veggie42]

I agree I like it the best shame it wasn't a single

[@matthewadams1874]

​@@veggie42be no good as a single

[@matthewadams1874]

Bring it down the best tune 🎉

[@DOB4711]

Supersonic is more RnR by strict definition imo. Columbia is a RnR version of a dance tune

[@spillogic]

I agree, belongs on the BHN record

[@TheRoute19]

Absolutely love the start up, with the booming bass and Noels' sliding up the guitar strings! Just supreme!

[@alan0216]

As far as this song being a masterpiece it is. Bands and songs are not measured in greatness by how many chords are in their songs, but by their impact on music. If every Oasis song had only 3 chords in it it wouldn't matter, because they are legends. If you don't remember the 90's, they were all over the charts. Oasis, 3 chords; Oasis, rock icons and legends.

[@rocketshader2699]

This is the truth. Keep it basic and simple, doesn't mean it's easy. No need to be complex. Noel wrote it best and Oasis is the best as a whole

[@leemendez7876]

Imagine an artist painting a picture but only being given 3 colours to use. Tougher to paint a masterpiece with less colours. Once you view songwriting like this you appreciate it's actually tougher to write a great song with only 3 chords. You have less options than someone using 10 chords.

[@johnnnycassh]

The drumming on this song is darn hypnotic O_O

[@ellohihi]

Always liked his raspier voice when singing Colombia on the other hand my favorite studio version was the white label demo drums are great on it!

[@veggie42]

Yes that's on Spotify

[@kieran8626]

Liam’s vocals here are phenomenal.

[@MrJohnPaulRingoGeorg]

Everyone says this gig is a shit because of Stop Crying Your Heart Out, but people doesn't even listen to this or other songs played on this gig. One of the best live versions of Columbia by far!!!

[@KevinMuhlbach]

MrJohnPaulRingoGeorg any oasis song requiring a high register kinda was shit after this gig, not to say I don't enjoy it. But oasis had a decent rep of being a great live gig, and this was horrible. I like this performance though, but then again doesn't really require much singing.

[@TKTnetwork]

In my oppinion played too slow.

[@TheBobbymcd]

@@TKTnetwork it's lacking a wee bit energy, you are right.

[@Rob-nl5ge]

Try 2001 live version. Much better

[@mxbr623]

@@TheBobbymcd chicago 94 is the best one in that regard I think.

[@yvl3176]

This is full of what people nowadays are seriously lack of and forgot about... Pure attitude and swagger

Yew Von Lim true mate

[@matthewvaughan8192]

Definitely not true. That's literally ALL it's about nowadays in certain genres, just not Rock & Roll because the genre is kinda dead

[@ellohihi]

dont know how u can say this was a bad performance of Colombia. Vocals were spot on in this...agreed with earlier comment that the stop crying your heart out performance make people overlook the rest of the gig.

[@ellohihi]

Rudy Overlord nah

[@stephencharman6014]

Brilliant performance this is! Drumming is epic

[@topicaloranges]

Yea but it was terrible live

[@whiterose3093]

It’s cos it’s all just a bit slow

[@markfielding6563]

If you study Liam like i have, you will see that this man has ALWAYS gave it 100% and that's why real oasis fans will always support him.

[@TyrantOFynder]

hands down favourite Oasis song!!!

[@veggie42]

And mine

[@realstroke]

You're a part of my life and you're definitely awesome! Oasis live forever!

[@SilentAssassin333]

SHITEEEE!!!! I've never seen Noel do that in the intro!!! Freakin' awesome tune!! Coolest intro ever man! :D

[@willington86]

everything sounds just so perfect on this one..!!!!

[@matthewcousins4488]

At time this gig was over looked because it wasn’t Maine road, people forget this is Almost10 years after their so called prime I would still of loved being there x rock and roll still

[@eruption101]

one of the best songs ever! so simple and so fukin brilliant

[@mikeysonlyvanspage]

3 chords, unbelievable 👌

[@veggie42]

Yes and shame it wasn't a single

[@spillogic]

Absolute frikkin jam, this song!

[@RaymondRockstar-q6o]

They'll never be another band that cuts close! Oasis mad fur it!

This is probably the best Columbia version ever... What an intro!!

[@vSpiikey]

Check out the Berlin 2002 intro for Columbia. 👍 It's even better imo.

@@vSpiikey Really? I'll do it

Ok, but... The Glasto intro is very similar to the original version... I never heard something similar 😍

[@vSpiikey]

@ Ah yeah, they did that intro you like with the guitar slide at the Poole 2004 gig as well, if you're interested.

@@vSpiikey thank you very much!!

[@jimmydee]

noel always used a 'bottle kneck' at the start (its a brass slide) i fuckni love this song!

[@shaunnewton6931]

Love the white jacket and shades man 👌

Hell yeah dude! 🤘🏻

[@matthall3494]

i was born with no ears, but when this song was played for the first time in my life at age 18 i grew ears. Now i have 7. True story.

bonehead > gem , i love gem , hes the better guitarist but bonehead is oasis rhythm guitars for me !!!

[@FuckinLibertine]

NO FUCKING WAY. Gem Is important part of Oasis, Bonehead just was another guy in the correct place

[@jimmyjudge1382]

FuckinLibertine no

[@np8820]

Bonehead had more powerful sound.

[@Tas896]

@@FuckinLibertine that’s the wrong way around

[@paolo4746]

Gem is great, but Columbia means Fuckin Bonehead rhythm guitar.

[@elenaboddi7731]

La voce di Liam è ipnotica!!!!

[@Nulife_]

i reeckon the reason why he has that distinctive voice is becasue of the Beatles song Rain on the past masters album. Listen to the way John holds the notes in the way he sings. Liam is doing exactly that.

[@PaperBanjo64]

Exactly!

[@veggie42]

Yes a massive Lennon fan

[@Squalla1]

Agreed, best live performance of "Columbia" I've seen.

Cheers Taz scfc 💚 love oasis i eas made. Thought your band lafs come on ❤💯🐅

[@aaron______________________]

what a performance, Liam's voice was on top form back then.

[@mikeysonlyvanspage]

Noel is so "on point" on the guitar here. I never realised this at the time.

[@AKLPUNDERGROUND]

wasnt liam best gig, but he was beyond perfect on this tune, almost reminds me of knebworth

[@chiaraamadio682]

e a differenza di molti altri, liam gallagher è cool as fuck anche quando indossa quella specie di accappatoio con le piume. #madferhim

[@realstroke]

I hope Liams voice will be much better in 08. To sing the higher voice and hopefully he will be back on his old perfect performance... Oasis Live forever!

[@luiskern8910]

Alex Nebgen oh boy, if only you'd have known... Hahhaha. Right?

[@TSOTL-0302]

What about now lmao

[@realstroke]

@@TSOTL-0302​​⁠ He got his voice under control very well and trains it so that he sounds better than before. Not like a 20 year old Liam, but live-performances are very nice to visit. Unfortunately, the Tickets are now the problem.

@@luiskern8910😂 Right!🤷‍♂️

[@Taz-u2z]

Yhe taz 💚 💯 best song may be LG ✌️☮️💚💯🍀💎

[@donaldvarley1700]

I will continue to say this...this band, the Mighty Oasis, went to a whole other level when Gem and Andy came on board. Talent from one side of the stage to the other.

[@shanekelley7682]

The song that got me hooked on Oasis.

[@alexiov4617]

Liam's vocals are absolutely perfect in this performance. The only problem here Is that Noel's microphone is too low and we can barely hear his voice.

[@marklees206]

What a riff and what a parka.legends and that was great vocals from liam with fuked voice by then

[@garrocks]

God bless them.

[@UnleashtheFiore]

Any of Oasis' songs that require high notes are done by Noel, often at the same time as Liam during the chorus so it just comes out as one big Gallagher voice of greatness. If you listen carefully to the record there are two voices during the chorus. Sorry to sound like a smart arse but I've just listened to a lot of Oasis!

[@Taz-u2z]

[@johnsmith5022]

And this gig got slated! Todays band couldn't get anywhere near this good on a good day.

[@markweaver8529]

I was at this gig and the reason it got slated wasn't because they were shit. It was because they took too long between each song. They were headlining Glastonbury and just couldn't be arsed to play. When they were playing they were good. But each song had like a 5 minute gap in the middle.

Old school proper music Taz scfc 💚✌️

[@WojuBoju]

I was always thought that Liam at the beginning of Oasis was able to hit high notes... many ppl says that this performance at Glastonbury was crap but this song (wonderwall too) sounds amazing like in the 90's The Beatles > Oasis :***

Let’s be honest it’s their best track abs the White Label Demo version is the best take on it

He never could. The high notes are usually Noel's job, but you can barely hear either of them.

[@highwireman]

To be fair, they weren't touring at the time, this was a one off, and Zak had joined like 2 weeks or something before, because Alan White had been sacked. Not a great version, I agree.
