Even being in the early ears, we can notice why Liam voices went down years after. He sang so LOUD. What a voice. He put a lot of effort in all his live singing.
You are hearing his monitor I think.. From what I've seen in vids he's always asking for more monitor. The eq isn't helping. Kinda mid heavy making it more naselly
Literally lived in Virgin megastore as a child picking out dvds & cds with weekend pocket money. One of the lost simple pleasures of Britain I miss so much
Liam is fucking hilarious didn't give a shite even when high he sounded great. we never see these kind of things happening in music nowadays people are far too afraid incase it ruin their career.
@@miccops0073 He got his voice back now though. Heard he put a lot into getting it back, because it was rubbish for a few years. He sounds great again now though. Wish they would possibly even do like a one off show at some point. Who knows?
It’s the bit in liver forever right before the end of the guitar solo and Noel says go on son then Liam blasts out the maybe and Noel just looks at him smiling admiring his brother whilst singing along. Class
What a great period in Oasis' history, and British music in general. The band was at their peak popularity, Noel was at his peak in songwriting, Morning Glory just came out. Just look at how much fun they're having during Live Forever.
Why don't people ever believe things like this? Everyone has to be somewhere, right? And we know how much Liam loves a drink! Not inconceivable he would meet fans in a pub, is it?
BestCanKeanRob2 typical Manc wanker, just cause you may fib about your boring fucking life doesn’t mean everyone else does. Go watch your billion pound squad get turned over by a proper team
But did you catch Liam's MTV Unplugged??? It was incredible!!! I was worried, but Liam flat out nailed it!!! I swear his voice was as good or better than Ever! I was hoping Noel would show up in the balcony and heckle him a bit, but? It was still Awesome!
You can't take a great song down. One guitar, brushes and you start singing them...Those two records, Definitely and Mornig Glory are absolute masterpieces of pop.
HOLY SHIT! Thank you for uploading this!! It's been a good few years now since my hardcore Oasis obsession and in all my youtubing i probably never came across a video quite like this. A performance like this so stripped down and acoustic, I think i searched long and hard to hear an acoustic version of Slide Away with LIAM singing, and here it is at this early stage when his voice could still rip. And everyone is nice and stoned of course. Noel looks hilarious, I love the joking between the 2 as well, Noel actually laughing at Liam's shenanigans. Its also an awesome indicator of how much Noel has progressed in his vocal abilities and confidence over the years. This is pure nostalgia right here, LIVE FOREVER !!!
The audience is so fooking forgiving. Since all we fooking silently demand is to see you, to see you without a fooking care in the world. Thank you Oasis
I had a chance to watch their gig once in 2001. They were here in Bangkok and I can tell that's one of the most pleasant moment in my life,ever! I wish I could be in the gig like this, so close to them. Oasis live forever :)
On the verge of being the biggest band in the world and he didn't know the words to the new songs, love it! You don't get that from bands now, they all kiss arse because they're worried about getting dropped from their management/promoters/labels etc. Oasis could do no wrong
At midnight on October 2, 1995, Oasis took to the stage at London’s now defunct Virgin Megastore. In front of 300 fans - some who’d queued for five hours - the Manchester group debuted their second album, (What’s The Story?) Morning Glory, in a secret free gig, although Liam later admitted he was too drunk to remember the words. Liam Gallagher singing at the What’s The Story launch gig in 1995 By the end of the day, the album was selling at a rate of one every 30 seconds. Met the band at the back of The Empress Ballroom tripping out of my nut we hatched the plan as we seen LG and the band going into the ballroom so we left the gig as soon as possible and ran to the back doors I had a werewolf mask my mate had a alien mask we were running about Blackpool on E's and acid it was f****** amazing then to meet Oasis at the actual peak of our trip and there stardom just blew me away the only thing that piss me off was that I dropped my camera yous guys that are old enough will remember these things and it opened up so that was the spool ruined but I didn't think it would have been totaly ruined, I got a great shot of bonehead smiling right down the lens but it was just fantastic just to be in the company of Oasis at that time apart from Paul McGuigan it was Scott MacLeod that stood in for him then and he was shitting himself you could see in His Eyes or maybe just us staring through our big massive pupils Liam got on the bus I think the next stop was Stoke but he just got on the bus and started shouting and beeping the horn beep beep beep beep beep Oasis and that made my night even better. What a f****** buzz just 4 young lads from a very small town in Scotland I called it the champagne super Astra SRI tour. As we travelled down in an Astra SRI. Everything else was fate i wasn't meant to be there as it was originally set for 13 sept. It was when my mate said oh look there's Liam Gallagher at this point we were off our nuts on something on Drink and Es and I was like off fuck off looked out the window and my jaw nearly hit the fucking floor it was Liam Gallagher Liam flipping Gallagher wearing this exact outfit. It is quite funny really when you think about it Liam couldn't remember any words of any new songs and they sang rocking chair for the very first time and only time I think then so I would imagine this was it midnight it's so on the journey up to Blackpool on the bus LG must have had to listen to the album and read all the words because I wouldn't have thought even had time to soundcheck just an amazing night of my life and one of Britain's and the world's biggest bands at the time I was there and met them just amazing
This was the party for what's the story morning glory day 1. Liam was totally drunk and couldn'remember the lyrics of the new songs. Good old days just before the glory.
Cast No Shadow is my all time favourite song. Unreal song. The 2nd night at Maine Road live for me is the greatest single moment in music ever. Watch it if you haven't seen it. It will make you cry.
@sargy1916 after doing some searching this is not the first time Liam has done this. It’s definitely tea. Here is another video www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/oasis/comments/79upcg/take_two_sugars_in_my_tea/
Dunno why it stopped from here. Still had Liam to sing Rocking Chair where he messes it up totally. Read in one Oasis book in the late 90s Noel said Liam was off his nut on e`s that night.
"Cast No Shadow!!!" One of the Greatest Songs Ever!!!!! But Hell, this whole Album is beyond incredible!!! Oh! Liam's back!!! "Definitely Maybe", "What's the Story, Morning Glory" and "Be Here Now" Greatest 1st-2nd-3rd Rock 'n Roll LP's Ever!!!
i attended that very brief show after a long wait to get in about 12.30am. Felt privileged to see them preform this for the first time despite Liam being inebriated and cutting it short..kinda summed the band up..
I worked in a record store across the street from Virgin Megastore, Oxford St in '95, there so many cool live performances, promotions & special events when albums were released...
I used to go in that shop often. I was studying studio production at a college nearby and would spend my afternoons trekking round record stores in London. The Virgin store was massive, and it had everything. Far more personal than Spotify IMO
I was 19 and had just gone off the Oasis deep end in the states. Now I’m 48 and I have tickets to see them at Heaton Park Manchester next year. Godlike.
I was born in 95, and I pretty much missed all of this... Even at 10 in 2005, I knew who oasis were, but never got to see them in concert, they split only 4 years later
Why have I never seen this??? I remember Noel saying that Liam would just say nonsense and rubbish in between songs. And During it appears. This definitely backs that up! Did Liam really tell Noel to put the Acoustic guitar away and get an electric, at the end of Wonderwall? 😂 This was definitely not one of their Greatest Performing Moments. But? It's Oasis, and that's good enough for me! Thank You Uploader! You earned a Follow for this!

Showing up to work, bored and hungover: Rockstar edition.
Lol
If i did that I'd be fired
Liams still off his nut here! 😂
Liam and Noel sharing that beer at the end :)
No they just share Twitter insults and jabs , it's a shame they can't make up , re-form and do the best damn thing they do Make Awesome Oasis music.
finally someone realized
What a great period in Oasis' history, and British music in general. The band was at their peak popularity, Noel was at his peak in songwriting, Morning Glory just came out. Just look at how much fun they're having during Live Forever.
17:36 Liam tries to walk off stage thinking the song is over then Noel reminds him it’s not quality
This video blows my mind. 1995 and the quality is better than most from the early 2000’s.
met Liam in a pub in Finchley about 2 hours after this. off his head but a pleasure to chat to him for 30 seconds. top man
Andy Inwood wish I could meet him ahah
Andy Inwood your lying
What did he said?

But did you catch Liam's MTV Unplugged???
It was incredible!!! I was worried, but Liam flat out nailed it!!! I swear his voice was as good or better than Ever! I was hoping Noel would show up in the balcony and heckle him a bit, but? It was still Awesome!

You can't take a great song down. One guitar, brushes and you start singing them...Those two records, Definitely and Mornig Glory are absolute masterpieces of pop.
The first récord is Rock'n roll the next one is Britpop :v
They're all basically pop songs, played in a rock 'n roll style. Both albums.
Codgerism how
If I'm not mistaken, there should be a soundboard recording of this performance floating around - put that over this excellent video and you got magic
This is such a gift. Especially when the dude zoomed into Liam’s face. Lordy mercy
the video quality makes it seem like the concert couldve been yesterday o.o
We had cameras back in the 90's mate
Time is the most dangerous thing
Back in the days when teenage girls where interested in good music / hand made music
Never seen this before. Brilliant piece of footage, I was about 20 when this was taken. Amazing era and so were they. Quality!
The hello goodbye music video from 1967 has better quality than this.
Makes me feel so old when I see how young Liam was here

I figured it was more Liam being a bit thick than not kissing arse, but hey, it's all good.
Or he was off his tits as he stated and genuinely just forgot the words

But, people who listen Liam's vocal voice, "I'm his fan"
Not here though. He was completely messed up in the head.
But yeah, wheniam actaually "sang", it was iconic.
