FILM OF THE MONTH: OASIS KNEBWORTH 1996
Seeing Oasis live at their zenith was an experience I’ll never forget, and a feeling that is brought vividly back to life in Jake Scott’s emotionally charged and utterly absorbing documentary of an era-defining moment. This is history, never to be repeated. An affecting ode to the greatest gig of a generation, Oasis Knebworth 1996 perfectly captures the magic of the band and the very soul of a fandom that got to experience their blinding brilliance first-hand. There are no mobile phones, no internet and everyone is completely transfixed onto the stage, sharing a collective moment that will never be replicated. It was the absolute perfect time to see Oasis live – two historic all-time classic albums in the bag – Definitely Maybe and (What’s the Story) Morning Glory, and a third (Be Here Now) imminently on its way. Britpop had reached its pinnacle, with Cool Britannia ruling the world and Oasis leading the charge. Knebworth represented the culmination of some of the greatest years this country has ever experienced in the modern era. Relive the glory days with this unmissable watch.
