    Oasis is amazing, I've been digging Heathen Chemistry a lot lately. I think I might like them more than the Beatles but the Beatles are one of the greatest bands of all time so its not like i think Oasis is more important than them. The thing I love about Oasis is that they have so much material and yet stay so consistent that depending on who you talk to, an amazing Oasis track, a great Oasis track, and an average Oasis track are all different. The other thing is, there really isnt much 'bad" Oasis and not much filler either. The Beatles, unfortunately, did have some very bad songs("When im 64' bleeeeeehhhh) and some filler (Revolution 9)
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Some die just to live.

     The only reason they are compared to The Beatles is because of they are from England, they had overnight rise to popularity in the 90's which was similar to The Beatles in the 60's, and the melodies and song arrangemens are similar.

    Ummm, yea, this.  It's rare that a post can so vehemently go after and oppose the prevailing opinion on something and then at the very end contradict everything they said in the preceding argument and basically agree with the prevailing opinion itself.  Bravo!

    That said, I'm a big Oasis fan, but there's no doubt that a) The Beatles are just light years better than Oasis in every way, from innovation to impact to consistent quality of output to talent to commercial success to individual success outside the band to cultural contributions, etc. etc.  There's just no comparison.  And b) Oasis are CLEARLY derivatives of the Beatles.  There's a reason it's such a common comparison, and no it's not just 'the media', it's right there in the songs.  Just because some in the media point it out doesn't then negate the prevailing cultural opinion of who Oasis are.  That's just dumb logic.

    Again, I really love Oasis, they were almost all I listened to freshman year of college in 1997.  But I knew what they were, and it certainly wasn't some groundbreaking band with a unique sound and approach, that's for sure.  As you said, their melodies, song arrangements and similar rise to fame made them basically the wannabe Beatles of the 90's.  They had some great songs, too bad their talent got stretched a little too thin and they couldn't keep it going.  But who can?

    Their last record was so good though, I feel like there was more in the tank for them. I mean look at how prolific Noel has been since they disbanded.

    Have you tried Amazon uk?  I just preordered from there.  They remove the VAT when your doing an international order, and it looks like they've got their international shipping costs back under control. It was just under 30 pounds for the record, and and 7 and a bit pounds for shipping.  By my math that was just shy of 65 Canadian, which would be even less in USD.

    US stores are taking PO for the vinyl. Unless you want the deluxe or a shirt, no reason to order from oasis’s store. It’s gonna be available everywhere.

    Isn’t the Knebworth show part of the deluxe What’s The Story reissue from years back?

    Easy Street has it available for pre order. I think I will order it from them if my local store can't get it. I have bought a couple of things from them online and have always had a good experience.

    Audio-wise they are releasing the full show on CD/vinyl which is a mix of night 1 and 2.

    On Bluray they release the both concerts in full.
