Oasis Glastonbury 2004 "Columbia"

[ravon1982]

to slow u not got a clue man

[giuliosmor]

waaayy too slow, this song is way better when played fast

[AKLPUNDERGROUND]

wasnt liam best gig, but he was beyond perfect on this tune, almost reminds me of knebworth

[TheTomLee2011]

love oasis to my dying day, but this version is fuckin awful, its like they just cant be arsed no rythm man.

[PanMikes]

You, British! You love your heroes ever! Liam isn't singer? he's an icon!!! From Russia with love!!!

[TheStepho67]

why dress like an angel when u are fuckin god.bet they dont sell that in pretty green

[TheStepho67]

wot a fukin tune

[157nnfgyu90lybf]

LOL liam looks like a snowman

[Franklovesthegers]

@157nnfgyu90lybf liam looks like a snowman? Liam looks like god bud

[Tyizere]

No other man on earth could pull of wearing that coat apart from liam!

[timf08]

Epitome of greatness

[johnnnycassh]

The drumming on this song is darn hypnotic O_O

[SrvSlash69]

they always say

"if it's too fast, it's a driving song."

and "if it's too slow, its a stripper song."

i think we all know this fits the criteria for both of those:)

[mogwaiman]

Bit slower than the original

[miamad]

Noel has fat, ugly, stubby British fingers.

[tozza7157]

liams voice is off form in this gig, but in this song its absolutely spot on.

[eruption101]

one of the best songs ever! so simple and so fukin brilliant

[TheRoute19]

Absolutely love the start up, with the booming bass and Noels' sliding up the guitar strings! Just supreme!

[heyjjules]

the black spot, if any, on oasis' career was this show, no doubt about it.

[TheGolin]

we can admit some songs at this gig were terrible, specially SCYHO, but some were amazing. Another bad thing was Noels mike was too low, u coodny heer anything out him on morning glory! was a great gig but not the best, not oasis fault tho, was those are holes at glastonbury!

[snappycruise]

media will never understand anything about r'n'r; this was the best version of colombia; the slow beat and voice perfect

[GeoTheGer]

agreed

[conaty105]

@snappycruise spot on, listening to columbia feels like getting stoned without taking any drugs

[giddygiraffe]

I think this may have been the most twatted I have ever been in my life. Vocals may not be great but this fuckin noise hittin you after 6es was fuckin immense!

[misseptember]

i want his jacket lol

[89cheapmonday]

you could never pull that parka off. never. only liam

[MegaScotty1990]

1st class 5 stars

[snappycruise]

at 2.21 just love Liam's little moves :)

[bigdeano162000]

try comparing this to live by the sea and you will see a massive differance,liam unreal in his day but now he is shite

[futrestarofengland]

even gem looks bored .i think liam got a lot of shit for this gig but he sang alrite . maybe it was just the jacket

[giddygiraffe]

@futrestarofengland course Gem is bored! A,D,C.. A,D,C... A,D,C

[aguztin10]

yeee hahaha i saw them in argentina, i couldn't see any big movement on him, but that's his personality and he fucking rocks

[IONCannon82]

liam has to be the coolest person ever.

[SrvSlash69]

@IONCannon82 haha i think he knew that.

[001Oasis]

@IONCannon82 and the most different and unique

[Bang1Banda]

@IONCannon82 Indeed he is. I fortunately had the opportunity to meet him this year wen beady eye came to uruguay.. he es really cool and lovely with everybody..

[canguro217]

this playing is good...

but it's very boring...They appear as dead...

No passion for a great song

[mrskunker]

fucking love this intro. Why did oasis get slated for this gig?

[Noelgtv]

yip.

fuck the haters, mate!

[1888MACKIE]

coz of liam what is pure shite

[Sheldon66]

This is an amazing song! Great to see live too! I am not sure why they don't play it live anymore. Saw them last fall in Calgary, no Columbia though. But back in 2001, saw them do it in Bangkok. Brilliant!

[tresfiosdebarba]

COME ON!

(23x)

Never before a repetition was so good!

[Sheldon66]

I agree.......but maybe repetition was just as good or better on "Na..na na na na na na na na na na hey jude"

[JuanMap]

Was this the last time they ever played Columbia? I would love to hear this song again..

[WojuBoju]

I was always thought that Liam at the beginning of Oasis was able to hit high notes...

many ppl says that this performance at Glastonbury was crap but this song (wonderwall too) sounds amazing like in the 90's

The Beatles > Oasis :***

[paigy93]

your a wanker

[ruisergilo]

what the fuck the song is great!!! you morons

[mewert]

shame he cant hit those high notes anymore on 'I cant tell you the way i feel...'

[UnleashtheFiore]

He never could. The high notes are usually Noel's job, but you can barely hear either of them.

[mewert]

But it was liam singing those high notes on the record...wasn't it? he jus cant sing it live?

[UnleashtheFiore]

Any of Oasis' songs that require high notes are done by Noel, often at the same time as Liam during the chorus so it just comes out as one big Gallagher voice of greatness. If you listen carefully to the record there are two voices during the chorus. Sorry to sound like a smart arse but I've just listened to a lot of Oasis!

[caustic77755]

he does do sort of high notes in up in the sky though

[LukaRaPtoR]

@UnleashtheFiore its called backing vocals mate

[McFearIess]

oasis doesn't try to play the same as they sound on the albums. they give a different show than what you are used to seeing.

[LukaRaPtoR]

@UnleashtheFiore yes he could!! have you even seen an Oasis show prior to 2000?

[zemechanism]

bass sounds awful

[JamesGoals]

Why?

[BRU89LIAM]

Liam voice is the Rock'n'roll essence.....

[mhoverthere]

Noel's playing is flawless and I like the intro, but Liam's singing is pretty dreadful. Was he drunk or something?

[ReelChange]

Excellent intro, particularly the bassline. I agree that Liam's vocals are too low in the mix. I like Noel's solo at 3:38, which is a lot like the one on the original demo.

[SGpro13]

Gem at 2:13 is great.

[xiaopaopao33]

@SGpro13 ^_^you joking dude, Gem was sleeping~

[m0num3ntal]

@xiaopaopao33 lol the songs only three chords, no-wonder

[LlamasOnAcid]

when i first saw this gig i thought it was shite. now i like it

wierd...

[md47bot]

lol

[chammone5]

I dont think liams voice was as bad as wot people made it out to be! Think his mic was not turned up loud enough

[TheEqualizer1982]

That intro must've made the audience shit their pants. Awesome.

[shadowpuppet89]

gem looks bored shitless playing them 3 chords lol

[md47bot]

lol but it's bonehead favorite song to play :)

[kevlance]

this is a fucking powerful song isnt it, especially here

[thepiper2112]

Do gotta admit..they look pretty bored! lol But its still a pretty good performance..

And Liam's mic is too low..

[joecynkry]

Was this the last time Oasis performed this song live?

[kinkyaffroman]

"and liam and noel looked like they'd rather be at old trafford" -The only time they would sooner be at Old Trafford is after a bottle of Tequila and armed with a baseball bat.

[Barozzo]

si è appena fatto una doccia!grande

[mattinozzell]

I was saw at this gig and it was pretty fucking good, duringsome tunes it was pretty obvious that they had play 1 gig in 18 months or something but on the whole it was pretty fucking awesome

[157nnfgyu90lybf]

and that coat liams got on is GODAWFUL!!!

[mattinozzell]

The coat if fucking awesome.

[157nnfgyu90lybf]

this versions not bad but the ALBUM version is the best when u BLAST IT OUT, it has to be heard loud!!!

[geordie0525]

lol Gem looks bored shitless

[PADDON2007]

That's what I was thinking lol

[CaptainRockNRoll]

fucking zak starkey. he's not a bad drummer, but he can't play with oasis. it's too soft.

[sixhitter]

Outstanding

[willington86]

everything sounds just so perfect on this one..!!!!

[moose1244]

this song takes the piss, its too fucking good. the band are the greatest since the beatles without question, roll on october

DIG OUT YOUR SOUL

[wroleSwayne]

...Since the Beatles and since PINK FLOYD too!

Come on, come on, come ooonnnnnnnn!

Their best song, along with The Importance of Being Idle. Roll on March, in Bercy!

[iampaulrus]

This sounds pretty good, actually - Liam's singing here is as good as I've heard from him in recent years. An underrated gig

[quickmantan]

this has been stated as a disasterous gig

[ashes1one]

Apparaently Liam and Noel had a row minutes before going on stage

[quickmantan]

i know yer, i didnt think it was a bad performance that coat he's got on is ace...

[JohnnyHeadshrinker]

Apparently Noel didn't like Liam's jacket. I understand him. He looks like Björn on the Academy Awards Show.

[highwireman]

by all accounts it pretty much was a disasterous gig. i mean it sounds good here but there was absolutely no swagger, zak was under practised and liam and noel looked like they'd rather be at old trafford than on stage. still, sounds pretty good when you take it a chune at a time.

[kingshahine]

liams vocals were terrible. But they look the same at every fucking gig.

from 94 they have done the stance. they dont move on stage. how does that make them look bored?

[MJBELB10]

great performance, zak was great!

[youroncandidcamera]

i dunno wat half of yous are on about, liam voice sounds great

[lazar0s]

this is,one of the best sounds of columbia out there.meaning the best.

[shallbeagain]

Why don't they play this live anymore!

[LSO92]

@shallbeagain Liam can't sing that high anymore.

[l3g3nd1337]

@shallbeagain because they broke up

[comdeymuman1]

his voice dont matter

his voice will always be unique and unbeatable

[realstroke]

I hope Liams voice will be much better in 08. To sing the higher voice and hopefully he will be back on his old perfect performance...

Oasis

Live forever!

[gianttaco12345]

love his singing

dun like his haircut

love oasis!

[nield8]

i like liams voice more live than i do on album songs tbh

[quickmantan]

sometimes yer sometimes no, he sounds ace sometimes and sometimes really bad... it doesnt matter to me how he sings cause he's got soul... but he seems to lose his voice pretty easy when touring, i think its the way he sings... noone can sing that way and not lose their voice, doing gigs week in week out.. for 1 year or longer sometimes

[bigbosmaan69]

Fuckin love this song!! Liam...for fucks sake sort your voice oot!!!

[realstroke]

You're a part of my life and you're definitely awesome!

Oasis

live forever!

[braapster]

liam sounds fucking awesome on this!

[ybot1983]

Jesus and mary Chain thats what Alan McGee heard

[bharveyzz]

what happened with his voice???anyway big up for them, still my favourite band

[xButtonMoonx]

Oasis 4 Eva xx <3

[MonnkeyHead]

you can see that liam knows his voice is fucked up.he doesen't even try to sing the chorus higher

[Pure7pazaak]

It's Noel that sings the falsetto on the chorus anyway.

[VanMocen]

liam hasn't sang those notes in years. since 1994.

[martynaa7]

I can`t tell you the way I feel because the way I feel is oh so new to me!!! definitley top song oasis

[82gerald]

Oasis are the better beatles, this song promise it... The beatles are great, but for my generation (born 1982) Oasis is much more important.... for me, may not for you???

[loveramusica88yenni]

hm... My genereation sucks (born 1993). All of the other kids my age...i fuckin hate them.

None of them even know about the Beatles so they listen to other crappy music

[Stones007]

Born in 1989, and I know how you feel. But all I can tell you is don't let anyone else change your music tastes. You know what's the best of the best (The Beatles, Oasis), so don't mind those tossers.

[oasisforever00]

yeah man! you're totally right! well said

[Amused0782]

Nice to know some younger people still listen to great stuff from the 90's like this band  (26 next month..)

[baresolid]

I didn't realise Liam was visually impaired.

[supersonictrain30]

Why's Liam sound good in this song?, he was really off on every other song at Glastonbury 04, I sometimes wonder if that's really Liam.

[LeRock0]

na he wasn't. i h8 the critics writing off Liam's voice. its fine, its rock and roll! it suits the modern oasis.

[Amused0782]

Because this is, vocally, an easy song for him to sing

[aaroncook1981]

what a performance, Liam's voice was on top form back then.

[gemarcher83]

columbia...top oasis song!

[tako6565]

Nice!

[geostheman]

tune

[LloydsVids1]

i think noel is playing a gibson ES-355 custom

[fantasyclonedsoundz]

cheers dude, i'm gonna get a sheaton and add a bigsby

[caimanque]

I REALLY want that guitar, but i don't have money.

[lsdarcy]

Oh fuckin good for you mate, idiot. Bet you do, bet youre a little posh indie kid arnt ya. What a stupid, pointless comment.

[caimanque]

thank u, boy

[fantasyclonedsoundz]

what guitar is Noel Playing

[yoreich]

oops i meant it HAS 4 chords...

[yoreich]

smells like teen spirit doesnt has 4 chords, and no one argues that songs statue as a pasterpiece...

and glastonbury 2004 wasnt a shit gig for oasis, liam was crap but hes like that most of the time now. the band sounded great.

[allanagallagher]

oh..My god..They Are so Amazing...tehy are the Best..!♥

[rocknrollstar1995]

OASIS ARE GREAT and your just dumb g1982m...

[manutdfan1990]

Gem looks Bored as hell!!!

[gonzo1680]

alan0216 said it best when he said impact on music in the 90's and brit rock today

[greenarmy81]

amen alan0216

[alan0216]

As far as this song being a masterpiece it is. Bands and songs are not measured in greatness by how many chords are in their songs, but by their impact on music. If every Oasis song had only 3 chords in it it wouldn't matter, because they are legends. If you don't remember the 90's, they were all over the charts. Oasis, 3 chords; Oasis, rock icons and legends.

[mothmarwan]

Glastonbury 2004 was a shitty Oasis performance. But this Columbia version is the best i've seen.

[Squalla1]

Agreed, best live performance of "Columbia" I've seen.

[g1982m]

Liam looks like P Diddy

[oasis408]

AHAHAHAHHAHA i was thinking about that too...

[g1982m]

Noel looks shit cool here!

[gonzo1680]

forget the decline of liams voice it wasn't going to last forever, but the evolution of noel's brilliance on the guitar is a musical masterpiece! This is AWSOME!!!

[g1982m]

I wouldnt go that far, its just 3 chords, and an easy enuf solo, i wudnt call it a masterpiece. Good tune though

[bulldozer902]

you'r right but you got tho find it out it's just a wonderfull combination and i like this song very much :D

[jasperhgmorris]

They really lost it at glastonbury, the papers had a go because they seemed like they couldnt be bothered. I saw at the clapham grand just before dont beleieve the truth was released, they were awesome, liams voice was right back there. at glastonbury, it was pretty dire in some parts...

[oasistheshiat]

This sound better then the studio version =)

[starkweather18]

Glastonbury 2004 wasn't the best Oasis gig, but this version of Columbia is awesome.

[ptran505]

Past their prime, but still one of the greatest rock bands in the world today

[Keithrichards1]

true but no band can be in there prime forever. Still got it tho :)

[Crede06]

What do you guys what them to do??? Jump around, spin in circles, get girls up there to dance. They've always looked like this.

[SiMags]

Can't here Liam.

[welshboyk]

I was there that night, they were'nt really up for it but they still blew everyone else who played at the festival outa tha water, big time. Bets live act ever!!

[oasisleedsfan97]

does any1 have any drum tabs for this?

[stubenmokka]

everbody looks bored...but this is oasis...thats why i like it..

[kewellboy7]

when does gem not look as bored as fuck?

[scottyb13587]

Gem looks bored as fuck, lol!

[Stones007]

Noel does a superb job on this song.

[ebunce]

i was there for this set wasnt impressed at all they just insulted the croud

[gunny003]

they have been doin it for years dont take it personal

[Squalla1]

Well, it's Liam's fault mostly.

[HarleyBeans]

This is the single best performance of this song ever. And of course of this particular set.

[jtsang22]

liam looks almost exactly like John Lennon in this show. want proof watch the Instant Karma music video

[Stones007]

I think this is the best instrumentals of the song I've heard live, but Liam's voice at this performance was not that great as we all know.Good performance though.

[Chapi2]

this tune is the bollocks

[jimmydee]

noel always used a 'bottle kneck' at the start (its a brass slide) i fuckni love this song!

[mark7728]

live forever oasis.

[blackened89]

maybe the sng is only 3/4 chords jeje

[DELKERN]

They all look bored, still a decent performance though.
