- Well, the title sums it up, Noel doing Slide Away during an acoustic set in Chicago in 1998. I'm not sure where exactly in Chicago...sorry. But it's still amazing and Noel needs to bring his acoustic set back!
Also thought I should mention that I did not take this video and I hope it is ok with whomever did, this is NOT my work and I'm not trying to claim it is mine. I just thought it was lovely and it should be shared with other Oasis fans.
whoever caught this on tape back in 98 is the coolest person who ever fucking existed
Literally. 100% agreed. Thank you whoever you are!!
For sure he is a legend
Settle down Beavis.
@@petertinney1874ya the world will tell tales of this for thousands of years so yup a legend in all sense of the word as of the new generation vernacular , wat is it called Gen low T/E , yup that's it ,definitely suits them cuz it is medically proper n that is facts
@@AnglandAlamehnaSwedish shut up Ahmed
This audience had no idea they were experiencing arguably Noel Gallagher’s best live performance of Slide Away. Absolutely epic, a literal masterpiece
Biblical.
Keetonmdk nah man that’s Liam ffs
Was there. We knew.
He left a tiny piece of his soul on that stage that night I totally agree with everything you said 👍
Well said! Well said indeed! Cheers!
Noel left something there that night.
+casper61111 Thumbs up my friend. I abhore your football team but applaud your taste
Man what a deep beautiful comment. Couldn't agree more. This and Don't Go Away have me every time.
his spirit
his pain
his bag of beak
That long note at the end gets me every time. Noel never gets the credit he deserves, especially for his voice.
So true
Yeh his voice is perfect for his songs imo
People laugh when I call him a musical genius.....this proves my statement .
He gets credit now.cuz We're here. Cheers
@@riorio7942 he defo gets the credit he deserves - everyone loves him and most people think he's one of the greatest song writers of all time.
The internet has a lot to answer for, but my god I would never have seen this without it. This has to be one of the most amazing live performance ever. I’ve been coming back to this video for well over a decade. Incredible
This version of a track has shaped me as a man
I was there 25 years ago, in the rafters. I was just singing along with him at 16 years old at the time. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I'd laid witness to one of the most epic moments in the history of that band & Noel. When I read the comments here, I get goosebumps knowing I was able to see and listening to something so special.
You have no idea how special it is that this whole concert was recorded and I can watch it back with that soundboard recording. I miss those days so much. Even for an American, Oasis was so special.
This is the version. This one. No other version. This version is THE version.
Derek Adams as a powerful ballad , this version is unreal, if you listen to oasis 1995 slide away at glasto, its fucking unreal as well, the chemistry between Noel and Liam is absolutely unreal
Glastonbury 1995 is better than this wank
I still prefer Liam's voice on this
preach derek adams xxx
Yeah this is powerful
This man could make digsys dinner emotional
It already is its about lasagna
The friendship part *is* emotional in my view
Agreed @@halfdayofthejackal9372
So glad someone took there two foot camcorder that day lol beautiful.
Haha never thought of that! Who couldve imagined that someone doing something so personal could then upload it onto a digital platform for so many people to enjoy all these years later!
And audio quality is so good. For sure maybe someone remastered but it sure does beat my phone.
@@PasserbyP its not the original cam audio 👍
TAKE ME THERE.... I got tickets to this show for my 16th birthday. I remember praying every night and up to the minute they walked out on stage that they wouldn’t cancel. My prayers were answered and precious Noel sang this song just for me ( or at least it felt that way 🤷🏼♀️). One of THE best nights of my 16 years on earth ❤️
Liam can shake a room and draw attention with his aggressive and growly voice like nobody else can and I thinks he’s great but Noel has a way of bringing out the true meaning of oasis songs and making them into something beautiful
Absolutely spot on. They're both equally as incredible in their own way on stage
Jamie Littler because they’re his songs . he feels the words
Jamie Littler after all he wrote most of them
Jamie Littler he's a fukn Tory tho
I agree, but I also think Liam brings out the true meaning of many of the songs better than Noel could. That’s why Liam is so important to Oasis.
'Slide Away' written by Noel about his stormy relationship with girlfriend Louise Jones, who he described as his soulmate. When they split up in June 1994 Noel said 'I don't think I'll ever get over it'.
Definitely Maybe album was released in August 1994, track 10 is Slide Away.
james dwyer
The lyrics to the song Married with Children were inspired by Noel's girlfriend at the time, Louise Jones. Fed up of hearing her boyfriend playing the guitar day after day, Jones reportedly told Noel that "your music's shite, it keeps me up all night". The line is quoted verbatim in the song. Noel also confessed to taking inspiration from the American sitcom, Married... with Children. "I looked at them two in the show, and looked at us two, and I thought, that's us, that is!
Dharmendra Aghera this is hilarious. Thanks !
Love reading this! Make since!
I bet she never got over him getting rich 🤣
@@Dharmendra_GuitarPlayer :)
the right key, the right setting, the right song, everything is perfect.
@@lewisprice4482 Think you misunderstood what they were saying mate.
There's something about this one. And there's something about this performance too. I've heard this song at least 500 times, maybe a lot more. I've listened to it locked up in my room all through my adolescence, smoking cigarretes on winter nights with an open window, no lights but the one on the computer screen. I've cried while listening to it so many times I cannot even guess a number.
I used to listen to it and think about this girl that I couldn't have. I was in deep pain, unable to hold her, kiss her, touch her.
After many, many rejections over the years, I sang this song, and this version, to her at a sweet 15 party. A buddy of mine played guitar. I was 13 years old, she was 13 years old. I know we were young, but it all felt very real. She was with someone else at the time (not at the party), but I got through her that night, just as Noel got through every layer of my body and grabbed my soul so many times.
Three years passed and we finally got together. Sadly, there was no happy ending. I guess as Jack Johnson says, waiting on love ain't so easy to do.
However, this song takes me back and so deep very easily. I'm 28 now, and I still cry some times when I hear Noel bite that ''Take me there'' and then release into that sustained note. You know why? Because he really left something there that night. It is almost tangible. It is so sadly hopeful and so clear, so honest, so sensitively strong, the feeling he injected to this one. I cannot fathom such a crappy video (so thankful though) and so many visits without an essence as rich as the one it has.
I love this song, I will always do, and I'm sure that at the end of the road this one will be my deepest cut.
Something similar happens with Don't Go Away's version at this concert, but it's not quite as clear.
The crappiness of the video only serves to enhance the true beauty of this version of the song.
@@petermayes755 couldn't agree more
yeah yeah yes you
I love this comment I'm in love with this song too
No wonder she wasn’t interested in you when you come out with that crap of an excuse to love this song
the most beautiful version of the most beautiful oasis song. fuckin perfect
blink0r I swear everytime i listen to this chicago 98 version it make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and gives me the shivers but in a good way. fucking love it.
some tyinl
blitzcraig it is class but this don’t touch glasto 95, Liam’s vocal on this tune is untouchable
gets me every time
Agreed.
When the crowd cheer at the end during the last "take me there", shows exactly how Fucken powerful this song and especially this version is
Loud at the start loud at the end but silence through the whole song that’s how u know it’s the good one
This is an odd upload, one of (if not) the best versions of this song. Shakey camera, awful video quality but the audio is top notch. Noel Gallagher, sent by the Music Gods.
It was from a show 23 years ago; I'm grateful we got this in the quality it's in - had this on mp3 back in the Napster days!
@@fju2112 Its good but I just think Liam’s voice works so much better on this song
I’m pretty sure that the sound was just paired with someone’s video of the performance. The sound engineer probably recorded the audio.
Coupled with the fact that it was uploaded to CZcams in 2006. I was 21 in 2006 and was on dial-up internet living at my dads, not even realising CZcams existed.
Fucking timeless. ‘I don’t know I don’t care, all I know is you can take me there…’
I come here every single day at least once
literally same here...
Do you still come? 🤣
@@BaronosR21 I still listen, but not every single day
@@OethPvPhow about now?
@@JshsHshsbs-yu3zl my first comment on this was 13 years ago and i'm still checking in 🙂
Liam’s “MIIIIIIIINE” at Knebworth 96 and Noel’s “THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE” at 5:32 here are two of Oasis best live moments ever, and both were done singing the same song lol
Liam would be the worst countdown player ever. "I'll have a consonant, a vowel, a vowel, a vowel. A vowel, a vowel, a vowel, a consonant and a vowel. "is the answer, MiiiiEEENE ?
Strange that I was watching that video the other night and now Noel's version has popped up in my feed. You are bang on... That note of Liam gives me goose bumps
@@CalamityHillMusicor is it shiiiiine
Something oddly romantic about this video. He looks so lonely.
THE greatest thing on CZcams hands down. Noel is beyond a legend.
What venue was this?
@@SK-zy2ri i think this was chicago 1998, he played a stella don’t go away here aswell
Not Liam though let’s be honest Liam is oasis 👍
@@bradstares2326
Is funny, because Noel was the one who left Oasis, and there's no more oasis without him
How many times did Noel pick up the slack last min showtime and do this? Every time. And look who still is best songwriter on this planet!!
I'm only 18 and i think I'll listen to him until I die.
I almost don't listen to any other singer.
He knocks me off my feet.
Best thing that has happened to me.
Ever come back to this video nowadays mate?
27 now. Time flies aye kid
First time seeing this video and saw your comment, How’s life beentreating you?
Update us! hehe :)
Ahah, well I can say life is good. While I don't listen to Oasis/Noel nearly as much (probably cause I overplayed the hell out of them) I still absolutely come back to these videos and I am still amazed.
Hope everyone is still lovin it as well!
The greatest love song ever written
True story
My sentiments exactly. And I doesn't have the word love in it anywhere. Also the way he does all the vocal bits at the climax Is brilliant
Nah The Smiths, hand in glove, or Reel around the fountain.
The fucking smiths! Bore off ya melt!
plasticbudgie the smiths will never be as famous or good as oasis sorry buddy
Whether you like Noel or not, If this doesn't stir up some sort of emotion inside you, you're not human
Aye i can’t stand the cunt but this is top class 🤣 x
This has to be the best live version of a song performed by it's composer. To me it seems that Noel is not even "at the concert". Seems like he went deep into his memories and just let it flow. I almost feel like a voyeur when listening to it, since this version seems so personal and emotional.
Life changing experience :)
well said! awesome.
I think just like u
Perfect statement
I am a life-long Oasis fan but I think there are better songs performed by their composers. Bohemian Rhaposdy at Wembley and Tears In Heaven by Clapton at the MTV Unplugged show.
jan pasek you are right
Noel Gallagher and an acoustic guitar is like a mother and her new born,the love of your life, and your soul mate!!
Exactly!! But with significantly less vaginal discharge...
And may I add that it takes incredible talent to entertain with just an acoustic guitar.
Still to this day without a shadow of a doubt the greatest vocal performance of this song. You can actually hear the emotion has he sings
How about the Radio 2 in concert?
Noel went to a different realm and pulled that performance into existence. Ethereal.
pretty fucking amazing audio quality considering it's recorded back in 98 with no studio record set and shit
Yun Hyeok Choi I think someone synced the video with a DAT recording which is cool
This is an amteur shot video mixed with a great soundboard audio available for years
Nah mate, this is just how good Noel really was
Danced to this one with wife on our wedding 2011.
I need a poo
JamieandAmberKane me and the Mrs are having this as our first dance for the wedding next month
congrats mate :((
karl dunn congrats man, hope all is well
I'm getting married in 3 days time and having this as our first dance song. I don't even care about the crowd noises, such a perfect version of one of the best love songs ever written.
Congrats (:
How did it go mate?
@@eoiin1428 It was the perfect day thank you. My wife walked down the Isle to champagne supernova as a surprise for me. Now this version of slide away means even more to me.
Perfect wedding song! You have great taste
the way he keeps singing slide away at the end, wow genuine beauty in art manifested
Who ever took this video deserves a medal
had my wedding dance to this.
christy heath gaaaaaayyyy
Thanks for the idea!
christy heath why not supersonic?!
Joking. Wish I did that
You still married?
This man with his acoustic guitar is the best combination the world will ever see
Perfect Noel Gallagher. Liam voice was great for the album rock and roll version, but here is pure emtotion
You can hear his whole soul in this song. And yes I'm typing this from the year 2021. Well done Noel. 👏
Still the greatest love song ever written. Those lyrics stay with me every single day.
And not a single usage of the word "love". Great example of show, don't tell.
I'm so glad the sound quality is not the same as the video quality, this is pure gold
"True perfection has to be imperfect"
This is by far the best version of Slide Away... absolutely stunning
na knebwrth bro
This one and Glastonbury 1995
These are the reason I'm proud of being from Manchester
Dominic MCR Manchester is a shithole but fuck do you put out some good bands.
Tell me about it ahha
Amazing how you cant see a soul but can hear one. Noel undoubtedly best songwriter of our generation. This version blows me away everytime. Been an oasis for the past 25 years and I will be till the shut the lid on my pine box 👏👏👏
20대 때, 어느 웹에서 이 실황을 mp3로 다운받아 듣게 됐어요. 그 후로 수없이 많이 들었습니다. 들을 때마다 공연장의 풍경과 온도, 노래 부르는 노엘 갤러거의 모습을 상상했습니다. 유튜브가 그 상상을 영상으로 구현해 줬네요. 노엘에게, 당시 관중들에게, 그리고 유튜브에게 감사의 말을 전합니다. noel, take me there.
I used to own this on an old bootleg CD. This version of this song is my favorite song of all time. Best ever.
How many babies were born nine months after this performance? The old men better thank our kid for loosening up every gash in the house
How does he hold those notes. What a god.
The best thing I've ever heard in all my life
Slide away and give it all you've got
My today fell in from the top
I dream of you and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?
Hold me down all the world's asleep
I need you now you've knocked me off my feet
I dream of you and we talk of growing old
But you said please don't
Slide in baby together we'll fly
I've tried praying but I don't know just what you're saying to me
Now that you're mine
We'll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one who shines with you
In the morning we don't know what to do
Two of a kind
We'll find a way
To do what we've done
Let me be the one who shines with you
And we can slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Away
Slide away, and give it all you've got
My today, fell in from the top
I dream of you and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?
Slide in baby together we'll fly
I've tried praying and I know just what you're saying to me
Now that you're mine
We'll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one who shines with you
In the morning we don't know what to do
We're two of a kind
We'll find a way
To do what we've done
Oh, let me be the one who shines with you
And we can slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
5:29 onwards.. melts my heart every time.
I can't big up this more than its been praised, an avid oasis fan this is the first I've ever seen this and I'm on about the 5th view in a row, i was 16 when this came out, I'm an oasis child! I'm roughly 42 now 😬
Best version of this song hands down. Noel is the man! Live...
Truly the greatest rendition of anything that ever was, slide away is the pain and the happiness you can’t express with sheer words alone, yet Noel does it with just his voice and a guitar, a god amongst men.
This dude..
Sat in front of a souled out crowd and bled. And it's the best performance I've still seen
I was at this very concert. At the end they abruptly walk off with no encore LOL CLASSIC OASIS.....
Legends indeed.
The way he gets up and walks off at the end. The crowd didn't even sing a long it was that special. Best live performance he ever did.
Feel like I made this 5 years ago. If not it’s a mad coincidence. Still coming back to this. Beautiful
I challenge anyone to find a better live version of this
82RN not possible, best version of the song overall
82RN live by the sea is a amazing live version of slide away
Liam would have something to say... Knebworth is beyond perfect?
glastonbury 95 is the best 100%
Bbc in concert Radio 2 acoustic version is utterly epic.
Noel is possibly the best songwriter since the Beatles. He pleases, impresses and makes you reflect EVERY time.
This is the night Noel found his voice and his soul
Why's all the comments from 2/3 years ago? Best version of this tune hands down! Be playing it till the day I die!
I come back once every other day for a listen. Truly is the best version of the best song he made.
Agree. The best is when I listen to it when I'm drunk. I really get into it
Be playing this on the day I get put to rest
Guess what, you are the 2/3 years ago comment now 🤣🤣🤣
Amazing to find this all these years later. I was at this show. It was at the All State Arena. The whole show was fantastic. I remember Liam's voice being in top form as well.
You're blessed man. Incredible! Wish I had a chance to be there too. :)
You're lucky because Liam's live voice has been terrible for a long time but for a brief few years when he was still very young his live voice was ridiculously good.
Spine chillingly, tear jerkingly beautiful. That last note, fuck me.
Kevin Donnelly well said
I've seen this video countless times now. The way he's feeling the song while singing alone on stage makds it one of the best live performances ever for me.
this is one of the best things I have ever heard full stop.
Sitting here as a 20 year old American in 2022 and Oasis/Gallagher’s is basically the only band/artists I listen to, and it’s for reasons like this, absolutely unmatched talent and quality. For me, knebworth being first, this is the second best version of their best song. 👌🏼
Hope you’re still listening mate 🤞
@@CustardShop330 very much so 🤙
This is the best live version I've heard from Noel. I used to have it blasting and when it got to the part were Noel sings "take me there" my nanna would say "I wish you would take him somewhere" rip nanna you always made me laugh. One of a kind. ,♥️😢
Come here every now and then to feel good.
I can't get enough of this version, i'm just speechless, the lyrics hits you right in the heart and the way that Noel sings here is just beyond perfect and very emotional. Live forever Noel
The best songwriter of all time. This version is just unbelievable man.
up there with Lennon/McCartney/Cobain
Music is great when it makes you laugh, cry when it makes you feel sad, angry, happy. You know it’s special when it makes you think and you apply the song to your own life.
Andrew Cox beautifully said brother
Dude,you deserve a place in heaven for recording it...
The greatest, absolute genius, best love song ever
John Fosher i
I often think about this, slide away might be the best song Noel wrote. It's impossible to have a conclusive answer but its Maccas favourite , written on a Johnny Marr guitar, provided the tune that holds liams best ever vocal and then this version is just haunting. The last part of it on the glasto 95 version is so euphoric , where noel starts singing slide away and liams on the 'i dont know , i dont care' part and it builds then they unionise with the 'what for' , all of these moments from individual performances originate from one song , surely its the best , surely
God, i'll tell u guys, there's something about this 98 show in chicago, Noel is just overthere trowing magic at us, in a way even Beatles couldn't dream about.
And I am a beatles fan btw.
Noel is just those guys that put music theory in the ass, and do it from the heart, where real music comes from.
How do I insert this when people ask me why have I always preferred Noel? He's a genius.
I fucking love this video so much, never heard such a soulful and meaningfully sang live version of a song. It makes me happy, sad and nostalgic all in one go.
Hahaha still here
The best 6.5 mins of my life everytime I listen.
This is the greatest live performance ever.
Wow 25 years ago. Time flies.
It’s amazing how at one point of the song the public kept silence and start listening
This version is absolutely pure.
It never gets old !! 2017 nearly 2018 and still here listening to this masterpiece
I love how he sings that first: "we're two of a kind" gives me chills every time!
Literally the greatest song ever written.
Best version of any song, by any artist, I've ever heard. The emotion in this version is undescribable!
Still blows my mind how good the audio on this video is
He sang his soul right there. I was loving it 15 years ago and still nothing Has changed. :))
The best songwriter of the 90s and after with an underrated voice
Anyone who has ever told me about slide away, I direct them to this exact video, cannot and will not be beaten. I can’t even listen to other versions as this one is just so fucking good.
Been 10 years I’ve been waiting to leave this comment.
Thanks Noel you fucking G
Probably the best Song ever written.... in my ears
82Gallagher probably??? THE best song ever
20 years ago and still no solo performance even comes close to this, this is sang with something more, pure emotion
Jack listen to tash sultana live and tell me what u think
Best version I’ve heard. How someone got that audio quality back then is crazy
More than 2 millions of views for an acoustic song recorded in a video tape!!! This is Oasis!!!!
I have watched this video 50 times in the past year. Noel is such a gift to all of us. He is so, so, so damn good.
I usually put this one on repeat, watching at least 10x. Noel's voice takes me there.....
That's a Magic performance of a great song - The crowd definitely got their moneys worth that night
This is by far and wide the best performance of this song. Sometimes Noely G manages to be other worldly when he plays and this is one such example.
I still go to the Rosemont Horizon (now called Allstate Arena) every now and again and think to myself, "Man, this is where Noel put on his best acoustic performance of 'Slide Away.'"
Best version of slide away ever the intro is amazing goosebumps from beginning to end
I hope this never gets taken down. I think I'd cry ,😂😢🙏
This song reminds me of the best moments in my life, it is hard to listen it but still love to do it.
The song electric is fucking great and the song acoustic is the most beautiful thing I’ve heard just the chords and melody but especially the lyrics. 11/10 tune
MY GOD THIS IS JUST A PURE RECORDING AND ITS INSANE 😭
5th Jan 2021 and I've just discovered this masterpiece
