Don't Look Back in Anger. Look Back at Oasis on Tubi.
As a new Oasis documentary heads to the Venice Film Festival, revisit seven Oasis documentaries and concert films on Tubi about the Britpop giants.
Oasis is having another moment, although depending on who you ask, they never really stopped having one. After the Oasis reunion, a whole new generation has been discovering why people spent years arguing about Liam versus Noel, defending Be Here Now, yelling “Anyway, here's Wonderwall”, and treating the opening chords of an Oasis song like a legally binding invitation to sing along.
And the Oasis comeback is about to get another encore. The new documentary Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger is heading to the Venice Film Festival, taking fans behind the scenes of the reunion many thought would never actually happen. Which feels like a pretty good excuse to turn the volume up now. These seven Oasis documentaries and live concert films on Tubi go back through the rise, the Gallagher lore, and the gigs where thousands of people packed shoulder-to-shoulder, arms in the air, waiting for Liam to lean into the mic, and Noel to hit a chorus everybody already knew by heart.
Maybe you know every B-side. Maybe your Oasis knowledge begins and ends with “Wonderwall.” Either way, it's time to roll with it. And when seven aren't enough to satisfy your rock-and-roll-star ambitions, Tubi's Classic Rock Production’s Movies and TV Shows collection can keep the amps turned up.
There We Were, Now Here We Are: The Making of Oasis
Before Wembley. Before Knebworth. Before the Gallagher brothers' relationship became its own ongoing genre of British entertainment, there was Definitely Maybe.
There We Were, Now Here We Are: The Making of Oasis goes straight to the beginning, revisiting the recording, songs, and touring behind Oasis' 1994 debut album which helped turn five lads from Manchester into one of Britain's biggest bands. This is the pick for anyone who wants to know how Oasis got started and how that unmistakable sound came together before the mythology got enormous. You know where the story ends up. Here's where they started making enough noise for everyone to notice.
Oasis: Live by the Sea
Recorded in 1995, Oasis: Live by the Sea catches the band on the edge of international superstardom, tearing through songs including “Rock 'n' Roll Star” and “Live Forever” with exactly the kind of confidence you'd expect from a group that already seemed convinced it was the biggest band in the world. The venues would get much larger very quickly, but the attitude was already stadium-sized.
You're watching Oasis before history has completely caught up with their own opinion of themselves. For longtime fans, it's a time capsule. For newcomers wondering why people became that obsessed with five Mancunians and some guitars, press play and turn it up.
Oasis: Phenomenon
How exactly do you go from Manchester clubs to becoming a band capable of making an entire country feel like it's singing the same chorus? Oasis: Phenomenon tackles the phenomenon part, looking back at the music, personalities, and Britpop explosion that turned Oasis into much more than another successful rock band. Liam had the voice and the walk. Noel had the songs and opinions about approximately everything. Together, they had the combustible chemistry that made watching the band almost as entertaining as listening to them.
Put this one on when you want the bigger picture. The songs explain plenty, but Oasis and Britpop became inseparable from tabloid culture, Manchester pride, and the glorious confidence of a band that rarely entered a room quietly. Subtle? Never heard of her.
Oasis: In Performance
If your primary question is “yeah, but what were they actually like live?”, here's your answer. Oasis: In Performance combines rare Oasis live footage with expert commentary to break down the sound and stage presence that helped Oasis reignite British rock in the '90s. Instead of simply telling you the band became enormous, it lets the performances make part of the argument.
And an Oasis concert has always been its own particular experience. Liam barely needs to move to command a stage. Noel can launch into a chorus and suddenly thousands of people are doing half the work for him. The songs were built to get bigger once a crowd got hold of them. Consider this the evidence.
Oasis: Familiar to Millions
By 2000, Oasis wasn't trying to prove it could fill a stadium. It was filling Wembley Stadium. Oasis: Familiar to Millions captures the band playing a sold-out Wembley Stadium show, mixing material from Standing on the Shoulder of Giants with the songs fans already knew well enough to practically take over lead vocals themselves.
This isn't the hungry young band of Live by the Sea. Oasis has already lived through the Britpop explosion, lineup changes, massive records, and enough Gallagher headlines to fill several documentaries. What remains is the sheer scale of the thing. Put this on when you don't want somebody explaining why Oasis mattered. You want tens of thousands of people demonstrating it.
Oasis: Live at the City of Manchester Stadium
Oasis: Live at the City of Manchester Stadium brings the band home following the release of Don't Believe the Truth, with Liam and Noel returning to Manchester, the city that shaped both their identity and the mythology surrounding Oasis. By this point, the scrappy Manchester band had become a global stadium act. Coming home just meant everybody knew the words.
When you're craving full hometown energy, this is the one. Oasis and Manchester are tangled together in a way that goes beyond geography, from the Gallaghers' accents and attitude to their very public Manchester City devotion. Stadium Oasis is one thing. Stadium Oasis in Manchester? Different fixture entirely.
The Oasis Revolution
Eventually, you have to discuss the elephant in the room. Or rather, the two brothers repeatedly arguing inside it. The Oasis Revolution looks across the band's rise, enormous success, and the Liam and Noel Gallagher feud that preceded Oasis' 2009 breakup. That makes it especially interesting to watch now, when the Oasis reunion fans spent years joking, hoping, and arguing about what actually happened.
Think of this as the retrospective after you've watched the band conquer clubs, arenas, and stadiums throughout the rest of the list. The hits are part of the Oasis story. The Blur vs. Oasis Britpop rivalry is part of it. The tabloid chaos is absolutely part of it. And Liam and Noel somehow being capable of creating magic together while occasionally seeming incapable of occupying the same postcode? That's Oasis lore.
