Description

Last summer Liam Gallagher joined the list of alltime greats Paul McCartney, Page and Plant, Nirvana and many more who have filmed a prestigious MTV Unplugged session. Having missed Oasisrsquos 1996 session through illness, the show at Hullrsquos City Hall found Liam fulfilling some unfinished business entirely on his own terms.The showrsquos electrifying atmosphere is palpable from the very beginning with a phenomenal reaction as Liam takes to the stage with lsquoWall of Glassrsquo. Material from Liamrsquos solo career such as his personal favourite lsquoOncersquo and the joyous lsquoNow That Irsquove Found Yoursquo resonates in this strippedback format, with his vocal shining alongside a trio of backing singers and string arrangements performed by the 24piece Urban Soul Orchestra.Oasis guitarist Bonehead features on performances of lsquoSome Might Sayrsquo, lsquoStand By Mersquo, lsquoCast No Shadowrsquo and Liamrsquos first ever live vocal performance of the lsquoDefinitely Maybersquo bonus track lsquoSad Songrsquo. The show concludes on a crowdpleasing high with an emotive take on the classic lsquoChampagne Supernovarsquo.Liam launches the lsquoMTV Unpluggedrsquo album by sharing the new version of lsquoGonersquo, which was one of the strongest performances of the night. Stripped of the force of the studio recording, lsquoGonersquo instead reveals newfound bombastic dynamics and an evocative cinematic atmosphere. Liam Gallagher CD is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £10
