Familiar to Millions is a live album by Oasis from their July 21st 2000 concert at Wembley Stadium.

It debuted at number five in the UK charts with 57,000 copies sold in the first week.

The album was initially released simultaneously on six formats: DVD, VHS, CD, double cassette, triple vinyl and MiniDisc.

The CD features an extra bonus track, a cover of The Beatles' song Helter Skelter, which was recorded at the Riverside Theatre, Milwaukee, WI, USA on April 15th 2000.

A highlights CD was released on October 1st 2001 to celebrate Oasis' tenth anniversary as a band. F*ckin' In The Bushes, Step Out, Stand By Me, Hey Hey, My My, and Helter Skelter were all omitted.

As Liam let the audience sing the choruses of Wonderwall and also changed the words to other parts of the song ("By now you should have somehow realised not to sniff glue" / "And all the lights that light the way are doin' me f*ckin' 'ead in!") at the 22 July gig, the version on the various audio formats features a different vocal track to the original one recorded at Wembley. This also applies to Noel's backing vocals. Most of these overdubbed vocals were recorded at Oasis' gig at the Yokohama Arena, Kanagawa, Japan on 5 March 2000. Only one line ("I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now") in the first verse is from the actual Wembley gig, as Liam failed to sing this line correctly in the Yokohama performance.

The audio version of the album is also missing various bits of between-track banter.
