Hello I thought I would just start come topics for the Oasis DVDs I have just got. Feel free to put your own comments/review in here.

I will do mine once I've watched it. Wink

Lord Don't Slow Me Down is a rockumentary film, looking back on British band Oasis' Don't Believe the Truth world tour which took place from May 2005 to March 2006. The film is directed by Baillie Walsh.

A handful of fans-only private screenings took place around the world with the world premiere of the film at the Directors Guild Theater in New York City on November 4, 2006 as part of the CMJ Film Festival. The UK television premiere was on Channel 4 on November 19, at 11:50pm, although it was a heavily edited version with approximately 40 minutes cut from the original 95 minute version. The film was unveiled to coincide with Oasis' best-of album "Stop the Clocks", released on November 20, 2006. A preview of the film was included on the Let There Be Love DVD single, released in November 2005.

The film features a new Oasis song also called "Lord Don't Slow Me Down", written by Noel Gallagher and recorded during the Don't Believe the Truth sessions, Gallagher described it as being "one of the best things, like The Who, The Yardbirds and the Jeff Beck Group combined, and it's got two drum solos on it!". He has also said that his girlfriend thought it was the only Oasis song you could dance to. The song was left off 'Don't Believe the Truth' because Gallagher felt that including it would have meant he'd have been singing too many songs on the record.

Lord Don't Slow Me Down was released on DVD on October 29, 2007. The DVD set contents:

I went to 2 stores to find the DVD they didn't have it. I went to another store they said they can order it so I did. I will have it this week for 24.99. I can't wait. I have seen most of it online so far.

i thought the dvd was pretty good, but for me disc 2 with the city of manchester stadium gig is the real reason for buying

The band commentary has to be the best thing on there. I've watched it plenty of times and it still makes me laugh each time...

Just a question though, I can make out Andy, Gem, Noel and Liam talking but who is the other guy? Never been able to work it out.
