Jake Scott directs Liam Gallagher, Noel Gallagher and Bonehead in this concert movie capturing what was the biggest live event in Britpop.

“This is history, this is history, right here, right now. This is history.”

August 10th 1996. I was there. Meaning I spent the entire documentary, tinnie in my hand, scouring the crowd footage to see if I could spot 16 year old me. Scott rather pleasingly focuses on the fans as much as the music. I spent a whole afternoon on the phone with my mates dialling and redialling the day tickets went on sale. In the end we kinda got split up by the dates we all scraped tickets for. Me and Paul Clifford went together on the first Saturday. Paid twenty quid to sleep on some old guy’s living room floor in Stevenage, he woke us up with this massive fart the next morning. Obviously I remember the bands as well. Would have been nice for the doc to include more of The Prodigy who truly won the day, the barrier coming down allowing us to rush into the closest area just as Oasis started… the cold, miffed reaction the new Be Here Now material got. Still, this was one of the greatest weekends of my life and it is sweet to have such a vibrant, loved up document of it. MAD FOR IT!
