Familiar To Millions is a live album by Oasis from their July 21, 2000 concert at Wembley Stadium and was released on 13th November 2000. Familiar to Millions debuted at a respectable #5 in the UK charts with 57,000 copies sold in the first week. To date Familiar to Millions has sold around 310,000 copies in Britain alone (Platinum) and has estimated world sales of 1 million. The album was initially released simultaneously on six formats: DVD, VHS, Double CD, Double Cassette, Triple Vinyl and MiniDisc.
Track listing
All tracks written by Noel Gallagher, except where noted. Times are taken from the Double CD edition of the album.
Fuckin' In The Bushes (intro tape) – 3:04
Go Let It Out – 5:32
Who Feels Love? – 5:59
Supersonic – 4:30
Shakermaker – 5:13
Acquiesce – 4:18
Step Out (Gallagher/Wonder/Cosby/Moy) – 4:05
Gas Panic! – 8:01
Roll With It – 4:43
Stand By Me – 5:49
Wonderwall – 4:46
Cigarettes & Alcohol – 6:52
Don't Look Back in Anger – 5:27
Live Forever – 5:09
Hey Hey, My My (Young) – 3:45
Champagne Supernova – 6:32
Rock 'N' Roll Star – 7:26
Video Version (DVD / VHS)
As well as the whole show the DVD features the following:
45 minute documentary shot in and around Wembley by Grant Gee including backstage interviews and fans footage.
Multicamera angles on the track "Cigarettes & Alcohol".
Live screen films for "Go Let It Out", "Supersonic", "Live Forever" and "Rock 'n' Roll Star".
Complete Discography (inc. international releases) with audio clips and artwork.
Stunning Dolby 5.0 stereo sound.
CDRom element - links to an exclusive page on the Oasis website with as-yet unseen photos and Songplayer module where fans can teach themselves to play 'Live Forever'.
'Tambourine' icon - click it and it takes you to and from the documentary in real time. A first for a non-film release.
The VHS features the whole show and a 20 minute documentary (entitled 'Mad Fer It') featuring exclusive interviews with Liam and Noel Gallagher. This documentary is unique to the VHS format.
Audio Version (CD / Vinyl / Cassette / MiniDisc)
The CD features a extra bonus track, a cover of The Beatles' song "Helter Skelter", which was recorded at the Riverside Theatre, Milwaukee, WI, USA on April 16, 2000.
A highlights CD was released on October 1, 2001 to celebrate Oasis' tenth anniversary as a band. "Fuckin' In The Bushes", "Step Out", "Stand By Me", "Hey Hey My My", and "Helter Skelter" were all ommitted.
As Liam didn't bother to 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 fuckin' 'ead in!") at the July 21 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 live at Oasis' gig at the Yokohama Arena, Tokyo, on March 5, 2000. Only one line: "I'm sure you heard it all before, but you never really had a doubt", is from the actual Wembley gig, as Liam slightly messed up this line in the Tokyo performance.
The audio version of the album is also missing various bits of between-track banter.
Other Trivia
A promo video of the Wembley version of "Gas Panic!" was distributed to music channels. The video featured visuals from throughout the gig and was slightly edited down to 6:57.
A "Gas Panic!" promo CD was issued in Brazil to promote Oasis' appearance at the Rock In Rio festival on January 14, 2001. The 2-track CD included the album version and an edited version of the Wembley track, which was edited down to 4:28.
The live album came about after the chaotic Wembley gig of July 22, 2000. This concert was being broadcast live to dozens of countries across the world but was hampered by an extremely drunk Liam Gallagher, whose out-of-tune singing and general ranting made it into an unappealing showcase of Oasis' live capabilities in the eyes of Sony BMG, who were worried about a large number of bootleg recordings being distributed.
Each of the six different formats (plus the 2001 highlights CD) had a different colour for its own cover art.

Pop stars slathered in Marmite, semi-naked rock stars posing with haggis and celebrities being pelted with day-glow cupcakes.
Food, music and art come together in these stunning images by Patrice de Villiers.
The 'fearless and imaginative' photographer chose top musicians for her project. Described as 'the culinary world's most exciting photographer', de Villiers' previous projects include wrapping a Ford Mondeo in a pasta bow, creating gastro-porn for Marks & Spencer and still life images for brands like Selfridges or Harrods.
This exhibition, LoveMusicLoveFood, shows us a different side to saucy Juliette Lewis, fish and chips lover Sophie Ellis Bextor and Noel Gallagher, who is apparently fond of his Yorkshire tea with some shortbread.
The exhibition is taking place at the iconic restaurant and cocktail bar, Quaglino's, in the heart of Mayfair.
With rock star royalty throughout the years having visited from the Rolling Stones, Elton John and Michael Hutchence, the restaurant has become a legendary setting for emerging talents and settled artists. For the launch of this unique exhibition, which runs from the November 14 until February 1, the restaurant will serve a fun dessert and cocktail menu in a 'Symphony of Flavours' specially created for the occasion.
The restaurant will also be transformed by McQueens florist to match the edgy theme of the exhibition.
The photographs of the exhibition are taken from LoveMusicFood, The Rockstar Cookbook - a book raising funds and awareness for Teenage Cancer Trust - and are all available to purchase, with all profits going to the Trust.
Within the LoveMusicLoveFood project de Villiers worked alongside celebrated music journalist Andrew Harrison and Rock&Roll caterer to the stars, Sarah Muir, who created the recipes.

Liam Gallagher with his stage swagger shows Beady Eye to be an engaging live act...
With his expertly curled lip and pugilist swagger,Liam Gallagher might be rock’s last true anti-hero. In an age of eager-to-please banjo thumpers and sub-Coldplay emoters, the Beady Eye frontman stands grumpily apart, a performer whose apparent indifference to the crowd’s baying adoration is part of the charm. The louder the audience roars his name, the less he appears to care. Neither party, you suspect, would have it any other way.
Scrambling free of the smoking wreckage of Oasis' 2009 break-up, Beady Eye - essentially the 90's Britpop institution minus songwriter Noel Gallagher - are agreeably cocksure while making music almost nobody can muster genuine enthusiasm for. The group’s steerage class commercial status is reflected in their current touring schedule.
Twelve months ago Noel, from whom Liam and his bandmates remain heartily estranged, was casually headlining arenas. Beady Eye, in contrast, are stuck on the middle-rung purgatory of 2,000 capacity theaters. After so many decades bestriding the world’s enormodomes, to be able to look fans in the eye is surely a curious experience for Liam.
Beady Eyes’ songs aren’t terrible. They just aren’t very Oasis.
Recorded with cult producer David Sitek (TV On The Radio) and released last summer, their second album BE blended soulful nuance and moody psychedelia. However, up against Oasis’ legacy a collection of solid album tracks won’t suffice, no matter that the tunes are delivered in the younger Gallagher’s signature sandpaper mewl. That has been the public response, at least. Despite kind reviews BE didn’t hang about the charts terribly long and is presently languishing in some dark, cold space outside the top 100.
If they have a future it is as an engaging live act rather than as a gilded hit machine. In front of a chanting, beer sloshing attendance their outlaw strut made for an endearing sight. Shouts of "Liamo Liamo" were ringing around before the five-piece even stepped out.
The moment they did, the excitement surged towards One Direction levels of giddiness. The vast throaty shriek that went up as Gallagher stalked the stage, stoically mopping his brow with a towel, was a strange mix of terrace roar and romantic swoon.
The essence of aging mod cool in their mirrorshades, rumpled parkas and leather trench-coats, Liam and his lieutenants (who seem to have had a competition to see who could cultivate the most impressive sideburns) opened with the Flick Of The Finger, a dapper marriage of Britrock and lulling Memphis horns. The experimental sensibility was elaborated on with the krautrock- inflected Second Bite of the Apple.
Switching the emotional setting to closing-hours ennui, Soul Love was introspective and bleakly wistful, the sort of twitchy ballad Gallagher probably couldn’t have written before the reversals and difficulties of life post-Oasis.
With an air of restlessness creeping in, Beady Eye bowed to expectations and bashed out Oasis’ Live Forever and Cigarettes and Alcohol (an encore tilt at The Rolling Stones’ Gimme Shelter completed the triptych of covers). Approaching the microphone in that iconic stoop, hands behind his back, Gallagher was undoubtedly a rock star among mortals. But it took a brace of 20-year-old Oasis smashes to really bring home the message.

Amorphous Androgynous
Noel Gallagher
The Amorphous Androgynous is the psychedelic rock-tronic supergroup created and produced by The Future Sound Of London.
Following on from their legendary and award winning (MOJO magazine compilation of the year) ''A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble (Exploding In Your Mind)'' DJ series, The Amorphous Androgynous have started a parallel series called Monstrous Bubble Soundtracks which aims to explore groovy sub genres of the MPB concept, but rather than DJ/compile, they write and produce all the material themselves in a classic soundtrack vein.
The first one is ''The Cartel'' a study of psychsploitation (where psychedelia meets blaxploitation) and traces the lineage from Lalo Schifrin, Quincy Jones, Curtis Mayfield, John Barry, Ennio Morricone through to Oceans 12.
Aided and abetted by a stellar cast including Noel Gallagher himself on bass and guitar plus Raven Bush (of fast upcoming Canterbury folk psych band Syd Arthur) on violin plus the Amorphous Androgynous themselves (both as producers and band) adding all manner of sonic delights centred round a core collective of hammond, drums, violin, harp, flute, guitar, bass, brass and vibraphone The Cartel comes in two volumes with a third volume of remixes & reworkings from a whole host of invited guests and artists/producers to follow thereafter.

Beady Eye are the next band lined up for an intimate live session as part of XFM Presents with Ford SYNC.
The band are going to play the Ford SYNC studios in Leicester Square, London in front of just 30 winners. The session takes place on November 25.
Danielle Perry announced the news on The XFM Evening Show last night, with help from guitarist Gem Archer.
"It will be stripped down but not too naked. It's acoustic guitars but it's all the keyboards and the sounds and a little bit of precussion but Liam's voice," he said of the performance.
"That's kind of how we approached this album as well. We recorded with Liam singing with the band and if the vocal's a keeper - which nine times out of ten it was - then we just built around that
"It's not just going to be me and Liam or Andy and Liam it's the band. You say intimate, and I think that's a great idea. There is something to be said for playing quiet."
You'll be able to win tickets on The XFM Evening Show and on xfm.co.uk from Monday.
