It might not be their most brilliant song, but there's something about this song, because I can play it over, and over, and over, and literally over again...and not get sick of it! And each time it still hypes me up exactly the same way it did when I first saw the much anticipated video back in 1997, a whole decade ago!
i was 15... and i get that same feeling... my life's changed forever!!! this is a hymn, another "urban hymn" from 1997... musical glory (in this take): 4m:37s... cheers!!!
I love this track! Especially the drumming, as the drum loop on it, is taken from NWA's Straight Outta Compton, which in my opinion is the best hip hop track ever! Liam is also on top form here! One of the best live performance of this song!!!
Really?? I think Alan was probably their worst drummer, personally. I know people don't particularly think about the drums when listening to Oasis, but I think Zak was probably the best, because he had the stylistic versatility, but also the raw POWER. Then Tony, because while he did have some well-documented 'clumsiness' on the kit, he had the aforementioned power and a raw, clattering punk energy to his playing. Alan could play different styles, but it was always very prim and proper and...faceless.
you're partially right; nowadays, noel plays it with a capo on the third (or the ryan adams version). but the album version is actually on the second fret (i have the official tab, and its on tab websites too). Youre right about the playing a step down though. Liams voice has gotten better this year (as opposed to recent years), so they are back up to 2nd fret on wonderwall.
I was more referring to the various live versions, but yeah. I will agree that Liam is getting better. I'm probably going to the UK next summer to see them live at Wembley.
Nope! Setlist is on my channel, but nothing from this album, which I love by the way! Too bad Noel thinks it's rubbish! :-( This is one of my fave Oasis tunes!!!
yea 2002 was the last time liam sang any of the songs that put too much strain on his vocal chords. now he wouldnt even bother trying to sing them. those songs are - d'you know what i mean? - some might say - cast no shadow - stop crying your heart out - gas panic - dont go away
Wonderwall actually has a capo on the 3rd fret. Just throwing that out there. Sometimes Noel plays it a half step down depending on how whomever is singing's (him or Liam)voice is feeling. I assume that is the case here as well. Capo on 1 instead of 2. =]
Wow, I didn't think they played much BHN stuff past like...'98, given that Noel fairly quickly joined the general critical consensus that it was an overblown, dynamic-less 'mistake'. Some genuinely great tunes on it, though...I really wish he had seen through remixing the entire album as he did with this tune in '16
Be Here Now is one of the best albums easily, just a bit over produced. Look up the bbc version of It's getting better man at Air studios. That's the way the whole album should have been done. Love it anyway, I played that album all summer non stop!
dead on. the gig at the city of manchester stadium in 2005, his voice was brill but the band was so loud he had to shout in some of the songs just to be heard which was a shame cos his vocals were so good when he didnt have to do that
I always find it odd that Oasis will still occaionally bust out stuff like this in Japanese gigs, yet as soon as they come back to the UK, it's gone from the set. At least they are playing "My Big Mouth" on the current UK tour dates, it got a good reaction at the show I saw. Be Here now is not the huge disaster some would have you believe, it's just overproduced, and some songs needed more work.
they need to play this on the new tour liam needs to come out for the encore scream r ya madferit .. then play this song would prolly be the best encore they have ever done or will ever do
@gr8dad No its not you ...He ALWAYS sings like that ...the only time I have ever seen him not was only for a second or two and the only reason was he was playing the tamborine ....usually he stops and puts his hands back behind him when he starts singing again but that one time he played the tamborine a few secs longer while singing ...if I can find the video Im talking about Ill link it to ya
i'd say he has the best rock and roll voice in the world, and probably was the greatest vocalist in the world between 1994-2000 period. liam's got the best voce, but noels a better singer
they did a full set: hindu times, hung in a abad place, force of nature, little by little, better man, whatever, some might say, my generation. i think thats all.
@dagiff well they is no more ...they broke up ...which sucks ...Noel said fuck that shit ..and we all know that Noel was the heart and soul of the band ...but Liam and the other remaining members have a new band called Beady Eye ...Ive only heard one song ...but it sounds pretty good ...not as good as Oasis but still not too shaby ...
It might not be their most brilliant song, but there's something about this song, because I can play it over, and over, and over, and literally over again...and not get sick of it! And each time it still hypes me up exactly the same way it did when I first saw the much anticipated video back in 1997, a whole decade ago!
LylaRox, Same as man!!! When the video came out on MTV that geezer played it (I think) 2/3 times in a row!?
Be Here Now is a bomb of an album! Be proud of it Noel!
I can't get over the simplicity of Noel's solos, and yet how AWESOME they are
the best version on the web!
this is the best performance of d'you know what i mean
greatest band of the world
with the old numbers they still get me............love them in their good old times
i was 15... and i get that same feeling... my life's changed forever!!! this is a hymn, another "urban hymn" from 1997... musical glory (in this take): 4m:37s... cheers!!!
the voice he had in 2002 sounds perfect for this song, best performance ever
Brilliant performance!
I love this guitar solo!
this song with all around the world my big mouth be here now and stand by me are the best song of the album be here now !
def the best version live. awesome song
Wow great song awesome singer and band awesome live performance wow thanks for this amazing video
I think this song has a great message and definitely should've been sung more often. I just love the chorus.
The best song ever..!!!!
Gem and noel together are legends! liam has done stop crying your heart out he did in it 2009.
Liam's voice is just great in that video... proper singing
fantastic
I love this track! Especially the drumming, as the drum loop on it, is taken from NWA's Straight Outta Compton, which in my opinion is the best hip hop track ever! Liam is also on top form here! One of the best live performance of this song!!!
AWESOMEE PERFOMANCE.. Drum sound is fucking cool.. all the band sound greaat !!
great song..
epic performance, these were the days...
Best Oasis' line-up...'nuff said...
Really?? I think Alan was probably their worst drummer, personally. I know people don't particularly think about the drums when listening to Oasis, but I think Zak was probably the best, because he had the stylistic versatility, but also the raw POWER.

so quality when they played this at the city of manchester stadium. I was a bit pissed, a bit high, and I really fuckin knew what he meant!!
Never played this at the city of Manchester Stadium.
thanks for the send
I was 13 too in 1997!!!! :)
you're partially right; nowadays, noel plays it with a capo on the third (or the ryan adams version). but the album version is actually on the second fret (i have the official tab, and its on tab websites too).

Good stuff bro!!!
BIG BAND IN THE WORLD
his voice sounds amazing here :)
I was more referring to the various live versions, but yeah. I will agree that Liam is getting better. I'm probably going to the UK next summer to see them live at Wembley.
Sounds like Go Let It Out at the beginning, brilliant.
Your spot on, wish they wud play its gettin better man live, fuckin love that tune
VERY COOL 🆒 HERE BRASIL 🇧🇷 😎 👍 🎸 🎼 📻 🎶 OASIS
Ah you're right mate! I didn't see the capo in the video. And i just looked up the tab and its normally on the second fret (same as wonderwall).
4:30 one of the best solos ever !
"the questions are the answers you might neeeeed"
Very good observation. He sounds great here and he's not straining at all.
they should play this song more live
wow... this version kicks ass
Nope! Setlist is on my channel, but nothing from this album, which I love by the way! Too bad Noel thinks it's rubbish! :-( This is one of my fave Oasis tunes!!!
The best singer in the fucking world, ever.
i do too!
1:07 love it
wow!
@theenigmajjames Technically he's a guitarist..played rhythm/lead guitar for Ride and Hurricane #1 before joining Oasis in 2000
look @ Liam's face at the he is happy with his voice
Fucking great!!! love OASIS
i want itttttttttttttttttttttttt!!
pretty please!
i couldn't have said it better
yea 2002 was the last time liam sang any of the songs that put too much strain on his vocal chords. now he wouldnt even bother trying to sing them. those songs are
- d'you know what i mean?
- some might say
- cast no shadow
- stop crying your heart out
- gas panic
- dont go away
They should do this again on the next tour
I know they won't, but they should
Wonderwall actually has a capo on the 3rd fret. Just throwing that out there. Sometimes Noel plays it a half step down depending on how whomever is singing's (him or Liam)voice is feeling. I assume that is the case here as well. Capo on 1 instead of 2. =]

i do!
324 know exactly what they mean. Oasis is the best fucking band in the world and no-one's gonna tell me otherwise!!!!
4.30 ... el mejor solo de oasis
I'm really like Whitey's Rogers Dynasonic snare sound from 2002 Heathen Chemistry tour, Sound really cool for me
Alan in the drums..!! The sound is so great?
@sparco1979 totally agreed its easily their best album
P.S. Does anyone have what they think is the "definitive" live performance of this??
live at g mex in 97 (y)
@powerlester um okay ...yea I know who it is ...but if he is playing a bass then that absolutely does make him a bass player
Be Here Now is one of the best albums easily, just a bit over produced. Look up the bbc version of It's getting better man at Air studios. That's the way the whole album should have been done. Love it anyway, I played that album all summer non stop!
dead on. the gig at the city of manchester stadium in 2005, his voice was brill but the band was so loud he had to shout in some of the songs just to be heard which was a shame cos his vocals were so good when he didnt have to do that
Aneal, Yeah you're right they should of turned his mic up!!! Classic gig though!!!!
They should do Be Here Now as an opera like Tommy! Fuckin class! "wash yer face in the morning sun!"
ye ye. it is a hip hop beat, and noel put it to another good cause :)
peace
I always find it odd that Oasis will still occaionally bust out stuff like this in Japanese gigs, yet as soon as they come back to the UK, it's gone from the set.

Be Here now is not the huge disaster some would have you believe, it's just overproduced, and some songs needed more work.
they need to play this on the new tour
liam needs to come out for the encore
scream r ya madferit ..
then play this song
would prolly be the best encore they have ever done or will ever do
you're right. the chord sequence is only slightly different.. but why complain? both are fucking rocking songs
this sounds mega live.
gems good here
there is a capo on the first fret
it's got the same opening chords as wonderwall.
Fuckin classic tune. they dont play it enough live
@gr8dad No its not you ...He ALWAYS sings like that ...the only time I have ever seen him not was only for a second or two and the only reason was he was playing the tamborine ....usually he stops and puts his hands back behind him when he starts singing again but that one time he played the tamborine a few secs longer while singing ...if I can find the video Im talking about Ill link it to ya
nah. his voice on the 2008 tour was his best form since 2000...but NOWHERE near the 90s voice haha
That's "BIGGEST BAND IN THE WORLD"
@theenigmajjames That's not a bass player! That's Andy!
i'd say he has the best rock and roll voice in the world, and probably was the greatest vocalist in the world between 1994-2000 period. liam's got the best voce, but noels a better singer
Very good but this version is a little bit softer than the earlier ones
its is so killer in the lower key
ahahahahahaha! now that 's funny
noel is god @ te wah wah... should use him more...
yeah. they played whatever and some might say? sounds like it was a good show.
@powerlester Who the fuck is Andy Bell though?
thats because it is the same exact chords, except in wonderwall, noel has a capo on the second fret of his guitar. This song doesnt have one.
oasis can't be compared with any other band
Sounds better with the Capo on the 1st fret
Sounds like good 'ol Manchester to me
this what it should of sounded like everytime with distorted guitars and everything (this tune is way better live that's what i mean)
they did a full set:
hindu times, hung in a abad place, force of nature, little by little, better man, whatever, some might say, my generation.
i think thats all.
@dagiff well they is no more ...they broke up ...which sucks ...Noel said fuck that shit ..and we all know that Noel was the heart and soul of the band ...but Liam and the other remaining members have a new band called Beady Eye ...Ive only heard one song ...but it sounds pretty good ...not as good as Oasis but still not too shaby ...
is it me ... or does Liam sing EVERY song with his hands clasped behind him??
This version is lower than the original.
the 98 vids of them performing it shows how much liam was straining - good decision.
except noel isn;t playing the chords with a capo.....it's in a different key....but yeah same chords pretty much.
Anybody notice this is pretty much the exact same chord progression as the one for Wonderwall?
Completely different song, though.
My guess would be that the capo is coz Liam wouldn't be able to sing it in the original key...
then what did i say?
(i forgot xD)
i see
same here! but I guess not!
The bass player looks like Liam's twin in this video.
