The Brothers Gallagher

Lord Don't Slow Me Down, a chronicle of Oasis' 2005 world tour, is set to be released on DVD October 29th. The movie, directed by Baillie Walsh, had a limited release in UK theaters last year. The DVD is expected to contain commentary by Oasis' Gallagher brothers, outtakes and a second disc featuring 16 songs performed from the '05 Manchester, England show. The 2005 tour was Oasis' biggest ever, playing in over 26 countries to over two million fans.

According to Noel Gallagher, recording for Oasis' seventh studio album began on July 3rd of this year.

Despite my disparaging remarks against the Stones, I actually am a big fan of concert DVDs. This will be Oasis' definitive live DVD, of course, and it'll be interesting to see what the brothers have to say in the commentary. They're always good for a laugh.

It's also good to see Oasis gaining some momentum again. They really are a great rock band

Definitely, Baby...

Some Might Say that Noel Gallagher's long-term girlfriend, Sara MacDonald, is one swell girl.

The Oasis star's Scottish partner is expecting their child in just a month - and seemed delighted to show off her bump yesterday.

Edinburgh-born Sara, 31, had ventured out on a shopping trip to London's sexy lingerie store Agent Provocateur.

The PR guru is obviously planning to keep the spark alive in her relationship with Noel, 40, once baby arrives.

More On The Manchester Versus Cancer Concert DVD

After today's post about the Manchester Versus Cancer concert, I sent a message to the person behind the DVD and asked for more details on the setlist and realease date.

This was the reply I got

Hi ,

Yes, Noel's set is going to be on the dvd. He played 10 songs and I think it likely that 1 or 2 of those will be included in the dvd extra's menu, whilst the rest will be on the main discs.

As for the release date, the people running the show hope to have it out by xmas, but i think that is a little optomistic. If not then early next year.

The set sounds great by the way!
