Guigsy is such an excellent bass player that he change basses during a performance and you still hear him playing

[@gordonashley4401]

Actualy she stole it and thats a fact.. she should have been reported to the police.. if that had been in the street there could have been a fight started and somebody hurt.. if we start to condone that kind of behaviour then what kind of society are we bringing our children into ?? Al the people who think this kind of thing is just a big joke need to take a serious look in the mirror.. i once had world cup sticker book of the 1982 word cup final stolen off of me and i was assaulted in the proccess resulting in an open wound to the head.. famous band or not stealing is stealing and the way we sweep this kind of stuff under the carpet is the same reason we have drug dealers and druggy wasters getting out of prison and tormenting and stealing from the middle classes.. oasis are ned hooligans and should be banned from youtube.. they care not a bloody jot for the victims of drugs and crime.. its no wonder they ended up falling out because they are irresponsible flipping criminals !!!!

I have the 'fuller' version on a bootleg DVD set and it's quite funny as where this one cuts off, as Noel drags more girls up and has a good time, Liam is (I think) stood at the back looking unimpressed, and clearly mouths 'nobhead' at him. Probably why it cuts off where it does. Cheers BBC..

I remember watching this 20 yrs ago, I knew it wasn't live because Alan misses the cue on the drum, people forget that the TOTP audience were not fans just teen girls. If you are wondering how the girl who got the tambourine its because there were numerous takes for the performance & what kept on happening is that the teeny boppers just kept on invading the stage etc so after the 3rd take they were invited on, you know they are not fans because the turn to the cameras not to the band in that way but I'm sure there were some fans there
