Recorded at their 2000 dates from Wembley Stadium, England, Familiar to Millions celebrates not just nearly a decade of dominance by Oasis but also the fact that it is still actually possible to get them on the same stage at the same time. Moreover, while the band certainly had their troubles getting there (not the least of which was Noel Gallagher's decision to stay at home for many European dates), this finds all concerned with blistering form, with even the newer band members sounding like they were born to play with the monobrowed ones. The chosen set list also wisely skimps on selections from their recent work, preferring instead to concentrate on the likes of "Cigarettes & Alcohol," "Wonderwall," "Supersonic," "Shakermaker," "Don't Look Back in Anger," "Champagne Supernova," and a superb Noel-sung version of Neil Young's "Hey Hey My My." The actual concert footage itself, though, is only the tip of the iceberg, with special features including a discography, graphics that were specially filmed for the dates, multicamera angles on "Cigarettes & Alcohol," and a documentary by Grant Gee, previously responsible for Radiohead's Meeting People Is Easy documentary. The most entertaining aspect of this DVD by far, however, is a Gary Crowley-conducted, pre-gig interview with the siblings in which ex- cokehead Noel gleefully admits that he can remember absolutely nothing whatsoever about recording (What's the Story) Morning Glory? --Warren Wayans

 THE BEST February 16, 2008
Let's make it short... this is the best CD/DVD that I've ever had.... The Greatest Oasis Hits alive!!! You don't want to miss it AT ALL.
OASIS!!!!!! May 12, 2007
Got this after I saw them in AC at the house of blues in oct 05. This DVD is awesome!!! I had given Oasis a rest for about a year or two and missed this when it came out. But i listened to this and i got right back on the train, chug a lug! Wooo wooo! OASIS FOOOOKIN BRILLIANT MATE! Gas Panic!, Go Let it Out, classic bangers, talking smack on wembley, whos andy bell...
 Boring, and horrendous audio April 29, 2007
The song choices were poor - "There and Then" was SIGNIFICANTLY better. And the audio on this DVD was very bad and muddy, probably because it is offered as "5.0," whatever that is supposed to mean.
Great to have, even if you already own the CD March 29, 2007

Now, maybe I'm a bit biased since Oasis is my favorite band ever, but I really am glad I bought this DVD. The image quality is quite good, and it's fun to have the bits of in-between-song banter that are cut from the CD. As far as the bonus features go, they're a bit minimal-- and to be honest, the crowd shots are a little silly at times -- but the interview portion is a good bonus, especially with Noel talking about his thoughts on the albums they'd released at that point. I don't think you have to be a super-fan to enjoy this.
Some captions for the lads! November 2, 2006

A really nice gig and a nice DVD presentation. It was a good show and the crowd was just awesome. The documentaries included are nice, really do a good job of making you feel like you actually attended the show. The last part of the show is Oasis at their best, compared to any other DVD or live show out there. At the beggining it drags a little: 'Who Feels love' and "gas Panic" are not great songs to play live and can get a little boring. Other than that , I wish the interview included captions, I cant understand a word they are saying!
