I hate it when people criticise Liam for not looking after his voice, or whinge about how he's lost it in the 2000s. He still sounds good, especially at the gig. But recordings like this demonstrate his immense passion and unreal vocals in the early days. No one could continue singing like this for hundreds and hundreds of gigs. He sang for the moment, lived the rock n roll lifestyle, and can still smash other frontman and vocalists out the park. Prime Liam, say from here to 2000, is just untouchable though.
dave790 great Oasis fan here, agree with everything you wrote, except you can't say he still sounds great. Have you heard Beady Eye's set at Glastonbury? he sounds like shit. but big up to our kid fa' always keepin' on keepin' on.
I have no idea why this song wasn't officially released on one of their CD's instead of on their B-Sides. Seriously, this song deserves as much respect as Wonderwall or Live Forever!
@@joaquinpaez9442 Thank you so much for your comment mate! I had no idea I even wrote this over 14 years ago. I can say that I am proud of the man I have become. I have fallen in love and out of love as well. I still love Oasis and my parents are still alive. I am blessed beyond words and I wish the same for you. All the best to you, friend.
Hate it when people say he lost the voice because of drugs... Listen to the passion he puts into the songs between 94-97 must of strained his voice a lot
Drugs and alcohol probably didn't help, but James Higgs is right - it's far more to do with the singing style and strain. Noel did just as much drinking and as many drugs, but sung far less than Liam and in a less abrasive style. And look at his voice now.
Tony's drumming was raw and made oasis sound awsome..along with guigsy's bass and liams voice at its finest made them untouchable. Just another British band doing what we do best :)
I see them in ilford early 94. A night I’ll never forget. Start of a revolution. Beatles of my generation. Ecstasy and oasis live. Nothing compares. Bring back the 90’s please
Ha very true - Tony Carrol remains to me one of the greatest drummers up with ringo from Beatles and kasabians drummer - he is propping this machine like a Lancaster bomber engine especially on the original - the moment they got rid of him it was the end - same as replacing sex pistols glen Matlock with ‘Sid Vicious’ who couldn’t even play the bass ffs... so many undiscovered tracks they could have made but were never created - but can still appreciate what was made when they were on point
Man's a proper legend sounds out of this world singing this with the volume up .he will always l be a top man no one can touch him .carnt wait for his next solo album to come out🇬🇧🐝👍.
I think this is my favourite oasis song of all time and I know every oasis song. I don't believe in magic life is automatic. Dunno why but this is the best lyric ever. Want it tattooed on me!
Odio cuando la gente dice que Liam perdió la voz debido a las drogas ... Escuchen la pasión que pone en las canciones entre 94 y 97. Debe de haber forzado mucho su voz a costa de hacer increíbles conciertos en vivo durante esos años.
Of course thats liam Voice..cant u hear it..and the solo.absolutely Noel s guitar..i heard oásis about 16 years..no doubt about that .live forever oasis

Great version ! They stopped performing it live when Liam started having trouble hitting the high notes, for example " leave you all behind ". You can hear him straining here too, but still so good to have this live rarity.
"I ve been trying to find my way back home"...Listen up,One of the best songs of the biggest band in the world. amazing memories listening this song with liam´s voice.Love it !!!
Oh man what an era oasis 94-96, such amazing songs. But most amazing is that a fuckin b-side is their best song. Liam and Noel will live forever in music history.
another masterpiece from noel g,probably the best song he has written,all of these b-sides he was writing in the 90's are better than their latest albums,i just hope his solo stuff is legendary,LIVE FOREVER
probably my favourite oasis song. didn't play it enough live in my opinion.Liam's top on this... live forever
Thats because it ripped his voice to shreds.
this is the most deep inside thougths one bro..Nothing that compares!
th-cam.com/video/bCxhafjY1L4/w-d-xo.html listen to this, liam in 2018
@@nadzmi.a sounds terrible
I always thought that this song was like Live Forever + Supersonic = Listen Up
RosarioNahu Super Live Forever
That's cuz it is😂 🤦♂️
The intro definitely sound like a combination of both intros
Paul Carroll He’s saying it as it is
Ash Hqgqg Live forever is not in the same key as Listen up
Underrated, underestimated...amazing song!
Oasis b sides are better than anything any band has out now!! A fucking joy to behold
Agreed brother. This is a belter. Though not a patch on 'Alive'.
I always preferred their b-sides to their album tracks at the time they were coming out
that's fucking true dude
4 years later, still a fact!
Only band in the world to have 'B' sides that are as good as the single they are on!! Genius lyrics made real by Liams raw passion

Spot on.

good on you my man,liam is the only front man.
I have no idea why this song wasn't officially released on one of their CD's instead of on their B-Sides. Seriously, this song deserves as much respect as Wonderwall or Live Forever!
Just because that .. this song released in B Sides turn this song in a masterpiece.
People this is class Taz scfc 💚✌️💯☮️🎉🐯🎸

Listening up this beauty in this quarantine, someone else???
Im listening it ALL time..lol
One of their greatest songs ever! Powerful.
My favourite one, my friend!
Liam's voice is insane here
liam sings perfectly they maybe noels words but like most oasis songs liam captures the mood of em in his voice
Hate it when people say he lost the voice because of drugs... Listen to the passion he puts into the songs between 94-97 must of strained his voice a lot
But it actually was from drugs and alcohol
Drugs and alcohol probably didn't help, but James Higgs is right - it's far more to do with the singing style and strain. Noel did just as much drinking and as many drugs, but sung far less than Liam and in a less abrasive style. And look at his voice now.
Losing your voice or range is not Inevitable. He could have looked after it.
@@johnconway8533 he looked after it with drugs. Sounds class then and sounds class now. UTD!
@@emecsm1228 if it was because of drugs and alcohol how come it didn't happen to noel then?
Tony's drumming was raw and made oasis sound awsome..along with guigsy's bass and liams voice at its finest made them untouchable. Just another British band doing what we do best :)
Manchester band
And Bonehead who was the soul of that band
We invented it you perfected it!!!
this just blows my mind, cant comprehend how good this was band was in my opinion, summed up true British rock and roll with a passion.
If listen up was a single now it would be like in the top10
+Dominic MCR It wouldn't though. Guitar music became incredibly unfashionable.
True
+Mike Hunt nowadays back then it was everything
Totally agree! it's sad =(
+Mike Hunt I think the point was that a bandl like this could bring it back.
damn those are powerful vocals
Rudy Overlord kinda dont want him to murder it though. Im not doubting liam but i kinda am.
From hell,Bro!
best song of my life..best singer in the world...best duo thou..oasis..i cant live whitout ur songs..live forever!
The best version of that song i've ever heard.Liam sounds mega
For sure the best one
3:48 best moment ever
1:05 también💪🏼
Best solo in the world Bro!
How can people not tell this is Liam?!?!? That voice is in matchable no one comes close
ps2peter And noels guitar tone. its 100% oasis. probs just a bad recording but its definitely maybe oasis
... i probably shouldn't do jokes ever again
I presume you meant unmatchable.....
I see them in ilford early 94. A night I’ll never forget. Start of a revolution. Beatles of my generation. Ecstasy and oasis live. Nothing compares. Bring back the 90’s please
The crowd be thinking its supersonic
Guitarra de supereonic y batería de live forever
The son of supersonic and slide away.
My man, my main man.
Ha very true - Tony Carrol remains to me one of the greatest drummers up with ringo from Beatles and kasabians drummer - he is propping this machine like a Lancaster bomber engine especially on the original - the moment they got rid of him it was the end - same as replacing sex pistols glen Matlock with ‘Sid Vicious’ who couldn’t even play the bass ffs... so many undiscovered tracks they could have made but were never created - but can still appreciate what was made when they were on point
My favorite song, my favorite version
This was live at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, Canada on Jan. 29 1995.
25 years ago :(
One of my all time favorite guitar solos.
For sure..só deep and so sad
Listen Up & Columbia.. Proper raw.
Man's a proper legend sounds out of this world singing this with the volume up .he will always l be a top man no one can touch him .carnt wait for his next solo album to come out🇬🇧🐝👍.
this song has so much meaning every one who listens to this song can relate to it in some way
This is real music, not that fucking coldplay shite with rihanna gay stuff! Oasis pure rock n roll!
+bobby bansal coldplays older stuff sounded ok now they suck
Ryan Hester
Biggest band in the world.
how do they suck?
bobby bansal not a truer word spoken
Got be the most underrated Oasis song ever. Up there with Live Forever for me.
I think this is my favourite oasis song of all time and I know every oasis song. I don't believe in magic life is automatic. Dunno why but this is the best lyric ever. Want it tattooed on me!
Tattoos : a permanent reminder of a mistake.

Que huevos le ponía a cada tema...
Quien diga que Liam perdió la voz lo invito a escuchar el disco “acustic sessions” de Liam despues de casi 30 años de carrera! Suena como en el 95’
epic vocal, raw Liam is something special
don't blame cocaine or Liam he's still the same he used to be
Rudy Overlord I really want it to be good
Oasis la mejor banda del mundo. 🎶🎵📣🎛🔊🔊🕨🎧🎼
This has been an experience
El MEJOR tema d Oasis gracias por tanto muchachos la mejor BANDA
Esto definitivamente tenía que ser un single.. Que canción mas increíble
Only oasis could get 500k views on a live version of a fucking B side... So glad LG is smashing this on 2018 btw.
That vocal is fcking magnificent,raw and right on the edge of falling apart...but it never does.Liam was untouchable back then.
His voice is very imperfect but he's my favorite singer, his voice just makes you feel so good.
Of course thats liam Voice..cant u hear it..and the solo.absolutely Noel s guitar..i heard oásis about 16 years..no doubt about that .live forever oasis
The definitive version for me
Definitely
Best live version of this song!
Even though this is beautiful, listening to Liam gives me a fright for his voice of how much rawness and energy he sings it with
Listen up, what's the time?
Said today, I'm gonna speak my mind
Take me up to the top of the world
I wanna see my crime
Day by day there's a man in a suit
Who's gonna make you pay
For the thoughts that you think and the words
They won't let you say
One fine day
Gonna leave you all behind
It wouldn't be so bad
If I had more time
Sailin' down a river alone
I've been trying to find my way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own

OASIS LIVE FOREVER !!! LISTENING IN MAY 2018 ! FROM BRAZIL !
3.49 guitar solo is epic, soaring riff
listening to this 08/12/2020, what an interesting time to listen to this
Liam is so raw and flawless in this performance ❤️
Great version ! They stopped performing it live when Liam started having trouble hitting the high notes, for example " leave you all behind ".
You can hear him straining here too, but still so good to have this live rarity.
This is SO Liam Gallagher, the Liam that made Oasis famous by singing the brilliant songs written by Noel.
Still sounds better than modern teeny bopper shite thats in our charts today.
1:25 alonaa..
1:30 homaa..
I Love Liam vocal ways..
Please play this at my funeral. I love this song.! Oasis forever
Oasis at their best ❤️👌
One of my favourite oasis songs.👍
"I don't believe in magic life is automatic"
Is the phrase I tattooed on my arm
This is the best Version of the song, for me.
beautiful,beautiful,beautiful........beautiful..................
Best tune ever
one of the greatest oasis tunes musically n lyrically
Los chicos suenan increibles en este live❤❤❤
After my favorite rock band GNR broke up, I was so glad I found Oasis. I miss guitar rock
Oasis will never be finished. Best band in the world and it's not close. The last great band too.
Its amazing how many epic songs Oasis have. They could have a greatest hits album with 40+ songs on and all of them would be top tunes.
Masterplan is their best album imo. This is probably their best.
"I ve been trying to find my way back home"...Listen up,One of the best songs of the biggest band in the world. amazing memories listening this song with liam´s voice.Love it !!!
Pure class - the intro - the big guitar - the raw vocals - the song - the melody - one of Noel's best songs i think
This músic that i want tô play on my grave....i Will never forget these words,liam!
LISTE TO THIS MAN SINGING OMG Liam had such a drive at that time!
Great great tune
Oasis 94' ❤️
Absolutely smashes it
Magical.
best oasis song ever..even after death i will hear it,baby!
It clearly is Liam ..... Obviously haven't heard much of him singing early on
This is one of their best song. Absolutely love it. Love the chorus chord sequence. Well done Noel!
His voice makes me wanna cry fuckin' rainbow tears, man.
this is the roughest i've heard of liam. mad fer it
esta cancion es una de las mejores que he oido en mi vida.
que sea 30 de abril quiero verlos!!!
Best Oasis song along with Slide Away!
Fuckin unreal vocal.
One of the all time greats. Saw them live at the NIA in birmingham one of the finest nights of my life.
The greatest version of Listen Up.....EVER!
This is one of few songs that give me this feeling of going back...
Outstanding
Chi se ne frega se somiglia a live forever o a supersonic, questo è uno dei migliori pezzi degli Oasis!
The greatest
This is *THE* best version of Listen Up. Hands down
Oh man what an era oasis 94-96, such amazing songs. But most amazing is that a fuckin b-side is their best song. Liam and Noel will live forever in music history.
top class rock n roll
Guigsy's bass is on fire !!!
another masterpiece from noel g,probably the best song he has written,all of these b-sides he was writing in the 90's are better than their latest albums,i just hope his solo stuff is legendary,LIVE FOREVER
Really good!!
I love OASIS.
(from Japan)
Legendary.
Amazing that this was a throw away b-side!! Would love to be listening to a new band playing something this good!
Alice,soundgsrgen,tool,oasis..live foreverrrrr!!!
We are NEVER gonna have another Oasis! Oasis will always be my favorite band of all time! Amazing tune! =]
Fucking Liam, he has a fucking good voice, it's true, today he's fucking amazing, but before, you know, he hasn't any problem
