The internet has a lot to answer for, but my god I would never have seen this without it. This has to be one of the most amazing live performance ever. I’ve been coming back to this video for well over a decade. Incredible
I was there 25 years ago, in the rafters. I was just singing along with him at 16 years old at the time. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I'd laid witness to one of the most epic moments in the history of that band & Noel. When I read the comments here, I get goosebumps knowing I was able to see and listening to something so special. You have no idea how special it is that this whole concert was recorded and I can watch it back with that soundboard recording. I miss those days so much. Even for an American, Oasis was so special.
Haha never thought of that! Who couldve imagined that someone doing something so personal could then upload it onto a digital platform for so many people to enjoy all these years later!
20대 때, 어느 웹에서 이 실황을 mp3로 다운받아 듣게 됐어요. 그 후로 수없이 많이 들었습니다. 들을 때마다 공연장의 풍경과 온도, 노래 부르는 노엘 갤러거의 모습을 상상했습니다. 유튜브가 그 상상을 영상으로 구현해 줬네요. 노엘에게, 당시 관중들에게, 그리고 유튜브에게 감사의 말을 전합니다. noel, take me there.
blink0r I swear everytime i listen to this chicago 98 version it make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and gives me the shivers but in a good way. fucking love it.
There's something about this one. And there's something about this performance too. I've heard this song at least 500 times, maybe a lot more. I've listened to it locked up in my room all through my adolescence, smoking cigarretes on winter nights with an open window, no lights but the one on the computer screen. I've cried while listening to it so many times I cannot even guess a number. I used to listen to it and think about this girl that I couldn't have. I was in deep pain, unable to hold her, kiss her, touch her. After many, many rejections over the years, I sang this song, and this version, to her at a sweet 15 party. A buddy of mine played guitar. I was 13 years old, she was 13 years old. I know we were young, but it all felt very real. She was with someone else at the time (not at the party), but I got through her that night, just as Noel got through every layer of my body and grabbed my soul so many times. Three years passed and we finally got together. Sadly, there was no happy ending. I guess as Jack Johnson says, waiting on love ain't so easy to do. However, this song takes me back and so deep very easily. I'm 28 now, and I still cry some times when I hear Noel bite that ''Take me there'' and then release into that sustained note. You know why? Because he really left something there that night. It is almost tangible. It is so sadly hopeful and so clear, so honest, so sensitively strong, the feeling he injected to this one. I cannot fathom such a crappy video (so thankful though) and so many visits without an essence as rich as the one it has. I love this song, I will always do, and I'm sure that at the end of the road this one will be my deepest cut. Something similar happens with Don't Go Away's version at this concert, but it's not quite as clear.
TAKE ME THERE.... I got tickets to this show for my 16th birthday. I remember praying every night and up to the minute they walked out on stage that they wouldn’t cancel. My prayers were answered and precious Noel sang this song just for me ( or at least it felt that way 🤷🏼♀️). One of THE best nights of my 16 years on earth ❤️
Liam can shake a room and draw attention with his aggressive and growly voice like nobody else can and I thinks he’s great but Noel has a way of bringing out the true meaning of oasis songs and making them into something beautiful
'Slide Away' written by Noel about his stormy relationship with girlfriend Louise Jones, who he described as his soulmate. When they split up in June 1994 Noel said 'I don't think I'll ever get over it'. Definitely Maybe album was released in August 1994, track 10 is Slide Away.
james dwyer The lyrics to the song Married with Children were inspired by Noel's girlfriend at the time, Louise Jones. Fed up of hearing her boyfriend playing the guitar day after day, Jones reportedly told Noel that "your music's shite, it keeps me up all night". The line is quoted verbatim in the song. Noel also confessed to taking inspiration from the American sitcom, Married... with Children. "I looked at them two in the show, and looked at us two, and I thought, that's us, that is!
Liam’s “MIIIIIIIINE” at Knebworth 96 and Noel’s “THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE” at 5:32 here are two of Oasis best live moments ever, and both were done singing the same song lol
Liam would be the worst countdown player ever. "I'll have a consonant, a vowel, a vowel, a vowel. A vowel, a vowel, a vowel, a consonant and a vowel. "is the answer, MiiiiEEENE ?
Strange that I was watching that video the other night and now Noel's version has popped up in my feed. You are bang on... That note of Liam gives me goose bumps
This has to be the best live version of a song performed by it's composer. To me it seems that Noel is not even "at the concert". Seems like he went deep into his memories and just let it flow. I almost feel like a voyeur when listening to it, since this version seems so personal and emotional. Life changing experience :)
I am a life-long Oasis fan but I think there are better songs performed by their composers. Bohemian Rhaposdy at Wembley and Tears In Heaven by Clapton at the MTV Unplugged show.
This is an odd upload, one of (if not) the best versions of this song. Shakey camera, awful video quality but the audio is top notch. Noel Gallagher, sent by the Music Gods.
Coupled with the fact that it was uploaded to RUclips in 2006. I was 21 in 2006 and was on dial-up internet living at my dads, not even realising RUclips existed. Fucking timeless. ‘I don’t know I don’t care, all I know is you can take me there…’
Derek Adams as a powerful ballad , this version is unreal, if you listen to oasis 1995 slide away at glasto, its fucking unreal as well, the chemistry between Noel and Liam is absolutely unreal
This is arguably one of the best live performances I’ve heard, the passion in it and how it makes you feel is unreal, I think even if you don’t appreciate oasis you can appreciate this. The vocals near the end are also unbelievable.
Amazing how you cant see a soul but can hear one. Noel undoubtedly best songwriter of our generation. This version blows me away everytime. Been an oasis for the past 25 years and I will be till the shut the lid on my pine box 👏👏👏
I'm getting married in 3 days time and having this as our first dance song. I don't even care about the crowd noises, such a perfect version of one of the best love songs ever written.
@@eoiin1428 It was the perfect day thank you. My wife walked down the Isle to champagne supernova as a surprise for me. Now this version of slide away means even more to me.
I'm only 18 and i think I'll listen to him until I die. I almost don't listen to any other singer. He knocks me off my feet. Best thing that has happened to me.
Ahah, well I can say life is good. While I don't listen to Oasis/Noel nearly as much (probably cause I overplayed the hell out of them) I still absolutely come back to these videos and I am still amazed. Hope everyone is still lovin it as well!
Truly the greatest rendition of anything that ever was, slide away is the pain and the happiness you can’t express with sheer words alone, yet Noel does it with just his voice and a guitar, a god amongst men.
I can't get enough of this version, i'm just speechless, the lyrics hits you right in the heart and the way that Noel sings here is just beyond perfect and very emotional. Live forever Noel
I've seen this video countless times now. The way he's feeling the song while singing alone on stage makds it one of the best live performances ever for me.
I often think about this, slide away might be the best song Noel wrote. It's impossible to have a conclusive answer but its Maccas favourite , written on a Johnny Marr guitar, provided the tune that holds liams best ever vocal and then this version is just haunting. The last part of it on the glasto 95 version is so euphoric , where noel starts singing slide away and liams on the 'i dont know , i dont care' part and it builds then they unionise with the 'what for' , all of these moments from individual performances originate from one song , surely its the best , surely
This is the best live version I've heard from Noel. I used to have it blasting and when it got to the part were Noel sings "take me there" my nanna would say "I wish you would take him somewhere" rip nanna you always made me laugh. One of a kind. ,♥️😢
I had this on a burnt CD with all his other great acoustic performances for so many years. It actually got stuck in the cd player of a work truck we drove all over the country for a few years. Whenever we couldn’t pick up any good radio stations, the old adage was, “f*ck it, put on some Noel.” Great memories.
I fucking love this video so much, never heard such a soulful and meaningfully sang live version of a song. It makes me happy, sad and nostalgic all in one go.
Anyone who has ever told me about slide away, I direct them to this exact video, cannot and will not be beaten. I can’t even listen to other versions as this one is just so fucking good. Been 10 years I’ve been waiting to leave this comment. Thanks Noel you fucking G
Goosebumps, every few years I come back to this video and shed a few tears. This song has so many memories behind it for me especially this live version. Beautiful
I still go to the Rosemont Horizon (now called Allstate Arena) every now and again and think to myself, "Man, this is where Noel put on his best acoustic performance of 'Slide Away.'"
Slide away and give it all you've got My today fell in from the top I dream of you and all the things you say I wonder where you are now? Hold me down all the world's asleep I need you now you've knocked me off my feet I dream of you and we talk of growing old But you said please don't Slide in baby together we'll fly I've tried praying but I don't know just what you're saying to me Now that you're mine We'll find a way Of chasing the sun Let me be the one who shines with you In the morning we don't know what to do Two of a kind We'll find a way To do what we've done Let me be the one who shines with you And we can slide away Slide away Slide away Away Slide away, and give it all you've got My today, fell in from the top I dream of you and all the things you say I wonder where you are now? Slide in baby together we'll fly I've tried praying and I know just what you're saying to me Now that you're mine We'll find a way Of chasing the sun Let me be the one who shines with you In the morning we don't know what to do We're two of a kind We'll find a way To do what we've done Oh, let me be the one who shines with you And we can slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away Slide away
Music is great when it makes you laugh, cry when it makes you feel sad, angry, happy. You know it’s special when it makes you think and you apply the song to your own life.
This song, played in this version, by the genious that is Noel Gallagher, is the reason I wanted to learn and play the guitar. Bought my first guitar a while ago, and today is the very first time I could play this song, in this version in full, without mistakes. I am so proud. Thank you for being such an inspiration!! x
Jay McAuley in the 10 years since my comment I’ve completely went off Oasis and Noel Gallagher since discovering there are more than 3 chords available in music
The song electric is fucking great and the song acoustic is the most beautiful thing I’ve heard just the chords and melody but especially the lyrics. 11/10 tune
I can't big up this more than its been praised, an avid oasis fan this is the first I've ever seen this and I'm on about the 5th view in a row, i was 16 when this came out, I'm an oasis child! I'm roughly 42 now 😬

Come back again ❤
That long note at the end gets me every time. Noel never gets the credit he deserves, especially for his voice.
So true
Yeh his voice is perfect for his songs imo
People laugh when I call him a musical genius.....this proves my statement .
He gets credit now.cuz We're here. Cheers
@@riorio7942 he defo gets the credit he deserves - everyone loves him and most people think he's one of the greatest song writers of all time.

Man what a deep beautiful comment. Couldn't agree more. This and Don't Go Away have me every time.
his spirit

Who ever took this video deserves a medal
He does! He was just a row ahead of me at the show and sent me a VHS copy of the show.

Still to this day without a shadow of a doubt the greatest vocal performance of this song. You can actually hear the emotion has he sings
How about the Radio 2 in concert?
Liam can shake a room and draw attention with his aggressive and growly voice like nobody else can and I thinks he’s great but Noel has a way of bringing out the true meaning of oasis songs and making them into something beautiful
Absolutely spot on. They're both equally as incredible in their own way on stage
Jamie Littler because they’re his songs . he feels the words
Jamie Littler after all he wrote most of them
Jamie Littler he's a fukn Tory tho
I agree, but I also think Liam brings out the true meaning of many of the songs better than Noel could. That’s why Liam is so important to Oasis.
Something oddly romantic about this video. He looks so lonely.
Noel Gallagher and an acoustic guitar is like a mother and her new born,the love of your life, and your soul mate!!
Exactly!! But with significantly less vaginal discharge...
And may I add that it takes incredible talent to entertain with just an acoustic guitar.

@@fju2112 Its good but I just think Liam’s voice works so much better on this song
I’m pretty sure that the sound was just paired with someone’s video of the performance. The sound engineer probably recorded the audio.

Fucking timeless. ‘I don’t know I don’t care, all I know is you can take me there…’
Noel went to a different realm and pulled that performance into existence. Ethereal.
This is the version. This one. No other version. This version is THE version.
Derek Adams as a powerful ballad , this version is unreal, if you listen to oasis 1995 slide away at glasto, its fucking unreal as well, the chemistry between Noel and Liam is absolutely unreal
Glastonbury 1995 is better than this wank

"True perfection has to be imperfect"

This version is absolutely pure.
It never gets old !! 2017 nearly 2018 and still here listening to this masterpiece

My sentiments exactly. And I doesn't have the word love in it anywhere. Also the way he does all the vocal bits at the climax Is brilliant
Nah The Smiths, hand in glove, or Reel around the fountain.
The fucking smiths! Bore off ya melt!
plasticbudgie the smiths will never be as famous or good as oasis sorry buddy
The way he gets up and walks off at the end. The crowd didn't even sing a long it was that special. Best live performance he ever did.

I often think about this, slide away might be the best song Noel wrote. It's impossible to have a conclusive answer but its Maccas favourite , written on a Johnny Marr guitar, provided the tune that holds liams best ever vocal and then this version is just haunting.

I usually put this one on repeat, watching at least 10x. Noel's voice takes me there.....
How many babies were born nine months after this performance? The old men better thank our kid for loosening up every gash in the house
Dude,you deserve a place in heaven for recording it...
I had this on a burnt CD with all his other great acoustic performances for so many years. It actually got stuck in the cd player of a work truck we drove all over the country for a few years. Whenever we couldn’t pick up any good radio stations, the old adage was, “f*ck it, put on some Noel.” Great memories.
I had an accoustic sessions CD years ago too volume 1 & 2 was fantastic .
How do I insert this when people ask me why have I always preferred Noel? He's a genius.
Best version of any song, by any artist, I've ever heard. The emotion in this version is undescribable!
Please never ever ever ever ever ever delete this. This is the best version i've ever heard of this song. Amazing.
I was at this show! A night I will never forget!! Noel was amazing on acoustic that night!!
really really amazing voice. I love Noel´s voice tone and he still got it...Thanks for decades of good music Noel.
I fucking love this video so much, never heard such a soulful and meaningfully sang live version of a song. It makes me happy, sad and nostalgic all in one go.
Hahaha still here
Anyone who has ever told me about slide away, I direct them to this exact video, cannot and will not be beaten. I can’t even listen to other versions as this one is just so fucking good.
Been 10 years I’ve been waiting to leave this comment.
Thanks Noel you fucking G
This is the place where I come back some twice for year..
This moment is the one of that moments.
Thanks Noel!
Thanks for share with us.
Goosebumps, every few years I come back to this video and shed a few tears. This song has so many memories behind it for me especially this live version. Beautiful
I've listened hundreds of times. Im still amazed how i get lost in the feels of this
Every. Single. Time.
Can't thank enough the person who filmed this, these people did not know what they were about to experience, this version got me all teary, biblical
I still go to the Rosemont Horizon (now called Allstate Arena) every now and again and think to myself, "Man, this is where Noel put on his best acoustic performance of 'Slide Away.'"
Slide away and give it all you've got
My today fell in from the top
I dream of you and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?
Hold me down all the world's asleep
I need you now you've knocked me off my feet
I dream of you and we talk of growing old
But you said please don't
Slide in baby together we'll fly
I've tried praying but I don't know just what you're saying to me
Now that you're mine
We'll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one who shines with you
In the morning we don't know what to do
Two of a kind
We'll find a way
To do what we've done
Let me be the one who shines with you
And we can slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Away
Slide away, and give it all you've got
My today, fell in from the top
I dream of you and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?
Slide in baby together we'll fly
I've tried praying and I know just what you're saying to me
Now that you're mine
We'll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one who shines with you
In the morning we don't know what to do
We're two of a kind
We'll find a way
To do what we've done
Oh, let me be the one who shines with you
And we can slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Been looking EVERYWHERE for this one. Seriously worth the search! Literally the best track of Definitely Maybe.
Music is great when it makes you laugh, cry when it makes you feel sad, angry, happy. You know it’s special when it makes you think and you apply the song to your own life.
Andrew Cox beautifully said brother
The best slide away version ever done live!! After all these years amazing
I remember when this was first uploaded, surprised that after almost 10 years there's only 300k views.... I know the other million are mine
This song, played in this version, by the genious that is Noel Gallagher, is the reason I wanted to learn and play the guitar. Bought my first guitar a while ago, and today is the very first time I could play this song, in this version in full, without mistakes. I am so proud. Thank you for being such an inspiration!! x
20 years ago and still no solo performance even comes close to this, this is sang with something more, pure emotion
Jack listen to tash sultana live and tell me what u think
Best version of slide away ever the intro is amazing goosebumps from beginning to end
I challenge anyone to find a better live version of this
82RN not possible, best version of the song overall
82RN live by the sea is a amazing live version of slide away
Liam would have something to say... Knebworth is beyond perfect?
glastonbury 95 is the best 100%
Bbc in concert Radio 2 acoustic version is utterly epic.
My God, this is why I love Noel, so much power and passion in his voice here, coming right from the heart, looking forward to his solo career.
Your wish came thank you god :-)
Jay McAuley in the 10 years since my comment I’ve completely went off Oasis and Noel Gallagher since discovering there are more than 3 chords available in music
Listen to his knew stuff more than em g n c available
Still blows my mind how good the audio on this video is
had my wedding dance to this.
christy heath gaaaaaayyyy
Thanks for the idea!
christy heath why not supersonic?!
Joking. Wish I did that
You still married?
Thank you to whoever uploaded this video. This is my favorite song on earth, and this version is amazing. I'm only listening to it in 2024.
best thing I've ever watched, how people have even disliked this version is beyond me. pure class!
The song electric is fucking great and the song acoustic is the most beautiful thing I’ve heard just the chords and melody but especially the lyrics. 11/10 tune
5:29 onwards.. melts my heart every time.
I can't big up this more than its been praised, an avid oasis fan this is the first I've ever seen this and I'm on about the 5th view in a row, i was 16 when this came out, I'm an oasis child! I'm roughly 42 now 😬
He sang his soul right there. I was loving it 15 years ago and still nothing Has changed. :))
This is by far and wide the best performance of this song. Sometimes Noely G manages to be other worldly when he plays and this is one such example.
Been a fan for 20+ years and never came across this version. Thought I'd seen them all. Wow
