As you may have heard by now, this doc contains no Oasis songs even though they were apparently performed at the Knebworth 22 shows. Surprised they weren't able to work something out with royalties or whatever. As half decent as Liam's songs are, I think we can all acknowledge the obvious: the Oasis songs are better. The doc would have been better with them. Why do you have to be so petty, Noel? That's not very rock and roll of you now is it?
But this is still a fun rock doc and especially if you're able to watch it in a cinema, you do get a good sense of the massive scale of Knebworth. The director makes the good decision to focus on some individual fans (some more interesting than others) and their stories before moving out to show the wider scale of the festival. Liam's helicopter entrance is fun even if perhaps a tad overdone. The songs aren't presented in full; they seem to be truncated, I suppose for the obvious reason to keep the doc to a reasonable length, although some full versions would have been nice.
Overall, pretty cool but could have been better for obvious reasons.
