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.
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...
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
Awakened Saxon why? Liam’s just released a fuckin mad album and we’re experiencing it again - his last tour was amazing, we might not have Oasis but we can still have LG! It’s not so bad!
i've just left secondary school, and while i am jealous of your generation Liam is doing a fuckin class job keeping the oasis legacy going. Noel is a boring old tart for us youngins...
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.
@@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
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.
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 🏴
@@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
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
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.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
Still blows me away...what an opener this was, me and half my family were on the front row..you could almost feel the roof come off Gmex...enough said..
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.
Was at this gig, crush in mosh pit was unreal, had to move back after couple of songs, then saw my cousin get pulled out of the front as she was struggling in the heat of the hall but was thankfully ok 👍

Great little first song for an album this. The intro has suspense. Although I know it was half way in the album. If they took out all around the world at the end, magic pie, girl in the dirty shirt, i think i hope i know. And put in Stay Young, Aquiesce, Listen up. They could have possibly sneaked another awarded winning album in!
Dyou know what i mean? my big mouth, i hope, i think, i know, Its getting better man All around the world Be here now Stand by me Fade in out ,............ All of these songs of bhn album are superb
Richard noel actually said in an interview once that they planned to make it look like the album cover and they were so fucked on coke that they all thought the album cover had a telephone box on it 😂
My Big Mouth 👌🙌 I remember jumping on the old Penilee 54 Bus 🚌 with wee bro & mate , " Get the skin's out " rolling joints on the bus on way 😅😂😂 to buy BE HERE NOW : tower records GLASGOW 🎉😂x 2nd Track My big mouth Just blew us away 🎉😊
This is better than the album version in my opinion, a real aggressive performance from Liam, one of there best gigs this.
Gotta agree
Yeeessss
Overproduced on the album
correct
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.

One of my fav albums of all time to be fair. Fuck the critics
I could not possibly agree with you more.
Be Here Now was the best of the lot... mainly cause it was thrown together...all the best tunes,albums are made that way
BHN is absolutely FANTASTIC
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
Liam's delivery of that song is absolutely fuckin mega..
Noel coked out of his goddamn mind AHHH hahaha amazing
If you are reading this you have fantastic taste in music 👌🏻🤘🏻
I know
best band to have ever walked the earth!!
Noseyb'stard 8928 damn straight Bro it should be a fact to the world... Absolutely Mad fer it as Fuk!!! From the states!!
#DontBelieveTheTruth!!!
Facts
Second only to the Beatles but otherwise absolutely 💯%👌
You never heard of The Beatles so your opinion is irrelevant
Id just left secondary school, what a time to be young. Feel sorry for the kids of today.
Awakened Saxon why? Liam’s just released a fuckin mad album and we’re experiencing it again - his last tour was amazing, we might not have Oasis but we can still have LG! It’s not so bad!
You should
Leon Burton we should meet up Leon hahaha
Awakened Christian stop I’m teenager now fuckin poxy the music
i've just left secondary school, and while i am jealous of your generation Liam is doing a fuckin class job keeping the oasis legacy going. Noel is a boring old tart for us youngins...
I was there. School the next day!!
+aalphataxis worth it probably!
gonna see Noel live in a few months :)
you're a very lucky guy
legend
Savage :P
was there to, fuckn amazing!!!
Power in that voice is ridiculous.
Macauley Hughes Even Noel agrees om that at 5:16
Noel or liam?
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.
@@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
His voice was definitely on the decline but it’s still unreal but after be here now it was never the same
Liam's voice. My God. It's so unbelievably powerful during this performance.
This is why Liam was best frontman in the world
@Simon Hörlin lol get to fuck
@@JH-yz2sv 😂😂
Freddie mercury.
@@fred613 Yeah cause freddie mercury was alive in 1997...
Fucking hell
This song is good when sober. But when you are drunk or stoned you can feel the rock'n'roll energy even more!
Agreed !
Not wrong sir
Spot on
Not kidding…
No way! Music sounds better under the influence of drugs? Unthinkable!
Liam air guitar!!!!
BHN was definitely as good as DM and WTSMG, I listen to it more just because it's songs aren't as overplayed.
Bouncing!! Not a fuckin IPhone or 'Gold Circle' in site. #Bettertimes
Would give my left ball to have seen this live, PRIME oasis
Me too, and with no hesitation
I was, the crowd was in frenzied ecstasy. This one, Maine Road 2nd night, Etihad, 3 outstanding nights
I did 😊
Was also at the Glasgow one, when the walked off, and the place rioted
What an opener . Attitude , swagger , Liams voice, totally brilliant !
do you prefer this one as an opener or the swamp song?
I think their equally badass
@casperoomen9111 swamp song or fuckin in the bushes as liams walk on
C'mon u bastards.....👏🍀
Need this worked into the setlist for the 2025 reunion. Absolute banger
I hope so mate
As much as I’d love it, they’ll probably open up with one of Hello, Columbia, or Acquiesce
'Are ya Mad Fer It? Are ya?'
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.
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 🏴
Same here in Newcastle
Same in glasgow
Same as derby
Same as swansea
Colombian marching powder was at all time peak level sales during the making of this album and tour.
"Good evening, town!" Always gives me a laugh.
Hello, Texas!
That’s because in English cities people do not call the center of the city “city center” but “town”
@@matteoviola5760lol, it isn’t. Stop trying to sound clever..
@@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
@@TheMusicalElitistyes it is
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!
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
Songs are too long and filled with random nonsense noises that just detract from the band themselves
INSIDE! Sounds like a fucking velociraptor the way he snarls that. His 1997 voice was epic.
it was so much powerful than any other year
2000 mate. It was astonishing either.
Interesting, I always wanted to know what a velociraptor would sound like
Well now u know lad
And Kasabian were there, whod later decide they wanted to be rock stars and record an album called velociraptor! )O_o
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.
The power in this performance is just incredible. When Noel's guitar starts humming at 1:22 is just mind blowing.
And that's how you start a concert
Such an underrated tune
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
Underrated song and brilliant live . The Hindu Times is another banger live .
Fun fact; the man who opens the door was the director for the lights and nic-name was bear!
gonna crank this up to maximum volume now... madferit.
fantastic performance by Liam!!
This sounds so much better live than on the album!!! Liam at his absolute best. At this point OASIS were untouchable!!!
GOOD EVENING TOWN
Being a teenager in the 90s and from Scotland this was the most important gig and album of all time

StrettyHS 313 His voice in new york was just as good.
StrettyHS 313 - It's a hometown gig. Bands always take it up a notch as something to prove - worth the travel.
Cocaine mate
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.

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!!!
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.
15 years old. Queued all day . In the front barrier!!
really good vocal.
Best band,best band live inthe world.
Still blows me away...what an opener this was, me and half my family were on the front row..you could almost feel the roof come off Gmex...enough said..
"sing a song for me, one from let it be" oh genius!!
Even Noel admires Liams power at 5:16
He was untouchable
Yeah. Nod of approval from Noel
Pretty sure the phone in that box had a different kind of line....

This song defines rock n roll
I wasn`t rockin` on Oasis back in the 90s, I was inlove instead, but i`m living it now! Live Forever!
What about now? After 10 years
At this gig, Noel's guitar playing is EXTRAORDINARY! Infact in this tour, HE WAS BRILLIANT! MAD FER IT
1997 and 2005 is the peak of his guitar playing
Proper Rock n Roll
This is what makes me get up and go fucking mental everyday, enjoy life while you can ! Oasis forever!
I'm still blasting this song in the car in 2024.
Still as good as ever. Miss this voice
Best I’ve ever heard them play live glad i was there 👌🏼 amazing concert
, vuelve Oasis gente 🎉
Greetings from Argentina! British crowd is amazing!
My favorite Oasis live.
Listened to this live on radio 1 on that Sunday evening. Amazing
The power on that stage! Look at Guigs trying to keep up at 3:38 he looks like he's gonna have a heart attack
Boy Racer hes groovin mannnn
good on u guigsy my boy
too much coke
i miss that noel
I miss that Liam
He was a prick back then.
There's something entertaining about Noel walking out onto stage not being hype-y as opposed to Liam who seems to be mad fer it. Please reunite r kids
Was at this gig, crush in mosh pit was unreal, had to move back after couple of songs, then saw my cousin get pulled out of the front as she was struggling in the heat of the hall but was thankfully ok 👍
In a lad from manchester, there lives a best vocal in the world
The real pinnacle!
Su fucking perb. Love that wah wah guitar outro.
Be here now‘s is one of their best songs change my mind
Nah I wont change your mind
Just fucking rip it up in this version love it
Wash your face in the morning sun

Touch down bass living on the run
Make no sweat at the hole that you're digging
Wrap up cold when it's warm outside

The power in those vocals are second to none. Id love him to play this at Knebworth next year!
Knebworth will be painfull
The setting is there but the delivery unfortunately won’t be there
@@casperoomen9111 the delivery will be there. Liam has nailed 99% of his live songs since 2020
This is rocket fuel!!
Great little first song for an album this. The intro has suspense. Although I know it was half way in the album. If they took out all around the world at the end, magic pie, girl in the dirty shirt, i think i hope i know.
And put in Stay Young, Aquiesce, Listen up. They could have possibly sneaked another awarded winning album in!
Goosebumps listening to this through my headphones 😎 especially the yeah yeah yeeessss!

Something happens when I listen to oasis. I get chills down my neck. And just think. This is the epitomy of rock n roll.

Did Johnny depp with a buzz cut introduce them
I like Definitely, maybe the most, but Be here now is my second favorite :-) Greetings from Czech Republic
Adorka28 Be Here Now is my favorite by far
All 7 albums are my Fav
Bonehead - Double Denim and Barre Chords. Solid performance, lad.
Great version
How much coke must have they been doing to come up with the idea of having the album cover as a stage 🤣🤣
notdrivingaminimetro still better than a lot of other sets tbh. Creative ngl
Fuck I’ve only just realised that😂
Yeah but.....there no phone box on the album cover😂
On that tour...quite a fucking lot!! 😂😂😂
Richard noel actually said in an interview once that they planned to make it look like the album cover and they were so fucked on coke that they all thought the album cover had a telephone box on it 😂
Untouchable
Anyone else get a buzz off noels first guitar chord here. The volume! And the crowd were bumping.
Goosebumps everytime man
