Anyone see the film? I couldn't make it to a screening on Thursday, so I'm curious how it was.
I wasn’t that impressed to be honest, was too focused on the fans in my opinion and not enough focus on Liam, not saying it was bad as when it actually got going it was good. On the other hand, how much Liam can you really get in for a documentary based on 2 nights of gigs? Might be just me be being too critical. Seemed very focused on Covid and Brexit as well.
I saw it too. Not bad, honestly it was just more of the same from the previous documentaries; a bit more watered down. Took a bit too long to get to the actual gig itself but had some interesting slants on the fans perspectives. Worth a watch but I think the whole Liam doc has been done now.
I enjoyed it and thought that they put it together quite well. Yes, it probably does focus on the fans a bit too much but it's still an enjoyable watch.
Just watched the doc. don't mind things where it's about the crowd, like the bits at the end with the bloke who proposed etc, but the others where it's about people who have essentially auditioned months in advance, no matter how sad their story, it just comes across to me as focussing on reality TV wannabes rather than the actual reason for the doc...
which is the remarkable, possibly unrivalled in rock'n'roll, 'comeback' of Liam.
There is a great doc to be made about that, and this isn't it (the previous one got close but he was still far from Knebworth at that time).
The keyboard player came across a bit of a knob imo, whatever your views I thought the Brexit bits were clumsy, and it's not like Liam himself does any partisan politics. Whereas his bits about him having a few quid whilsst others struggle just comes across as proper, cool politics.
Mike the guitarist had some nice insights, but it would have been good to hear from all the band.
Liam comes across as self aware, as opposed to self obsessed, and it just reinforces his likeability.
It'll be interesting to see what he does next. The management seem pretty clued up, but Knebworth was undoubtedly the peak for Oasis, so the next steps for Liam are very important, not just for his career, but for his wellbeing, for want of a better word.
I still think that the long promised 'rockn'roll album' should be the thing - get the band into the studio with a world class producer who knows about bands, ten tracks of 'greedy souls' and a 'soul love' done mostly live in the room would do me... a big sounding, rock record, maybe the way he sounded with Foo Fighters at Wembley could give him some thought. It maybe a chance at the (heritage?) rock act audience in the States, the only real thing left for Liam that Oasis couldn't do...
