Returning to the legendary Knebworth Park, where Oasis left an indelible mark in the ’90s, Gallagher mesmerized an audience that spanned generations. From fans who experienced the era-defining Oasis gigs 26 years ago to teenagers embarking on their first major concert, Liam reaffirmed himself as the voice of two generations.
The anticipation leading up to these shows was palpable, and the electric atmosphere reverberates throughout the ‘Knebworth 22’ album. From the thunderous applause that accompanies Gallagher’s opening track, ‘Hello,’ to the massive singalongs during the closing classics ‘Wonderwall’ and ‘Champagne Supernova’ (featuring a special guest appearance by Stone Roses legend John Squire), the album encapsulates the pure energy of the live performances.
Backed by his talented band, Gallagher unleashes his full-throttle intensity on hits like ‘Shockwave’ and ‘Everything’s Electric,’ while also allowing his tender side to shine on heartfelt moments such as ‘Once’ and ‘Slide Away.’ ‘Knebworth 22’ is an essential addition to any fan’s collection, offering an immersive journey through Liam Gallagher’s extraordinary live show.
To give fans a taste of what’s to come, the album has been previewed with the video for ‘Roll It Over.’ This Oasis deep cut, a cherished favorite among hardcore fans, had never been played live by the band until Gallagher resurrected it in all its widescreen magnificence for the Knebworth Park shows.
