ABOUT THIS VIDEO:

Liam Gallagher on vocals. Recorded in September 1993 at Loco Studios, Newport. Released on tape by NME. Liam Gallagher's voice at today's live concerts does not sound anything like his powerful and unique voice during the years 1992-1999. After many years of destroying his voice due to his damaging singing technique, somewhere around 2003 Liam started to sound like Kermit the frog during live concerts. Fortunately, he is now at least sounding good in the studio again. But unfortunately, we will never get Liam's old live voice back, unless he hires an expensive specialist and performs vocal chord surgery (if possible). The only thing we can do is enjoy past live and studio recordings of Liam's once great voice. This is one of my favorites.

This is also Andy Bell's favourite version of Live Forever. He talks about it on the Definitely Maybe DVD. This demo version of Live Forever begins with an acoustic guitar intro. While recording the album version, the record's producer Owen Morris cut out this intro and replaced it with a drumbeat played by Tony McCarroll. Morris further cut a second section in Gallagher's guitar solo. Although Gallagher was upset, Morris felt the part had sounded "a bit like fucking Slash from Guns N' Roses".

    As corny as it seems as an adult, as a teen I listened to this repeatedly and sang it at the top of my lungs as I lay in a hospital bed fighting off what I was told was a terminal disease... 18 years later and counting and I still think I scared the fucking thing out of my body....
  • @scottsmith4854
    It's absolutely criminal they didn't include this on the Definitely Maybe remaster.
  • @jnb432
    Liam's voice in this, wow wow wow.
  • @Joey007ist
    I love the youthful naive sense you get out of Liam’s voice in this recording. He had no idea what the future was holding for him.
  • @rockerneverdie1
    HOLY FUCKING SHIT. HIS SOUND SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL THAN OFFICIAL RELEASE.
  • @roger89857
    If you write a song like this, you are a genius, Noel Gallagher is a genius.
  • @jennykim74
    Liam's voice in this song is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my entire life.
  • @AbbeyRaffx
    Liam's voice sounds unbelievably young in this, some set of lungs though!!
  • even the demos sound better than the majority of the music about today
  • @JNeverMindMe
    Strangely enough, being used to the album version, it almost changes the whole song when Liam sings "how your garden grows" in another way. Absolutely loved it.
  • @chriscarlone527
    Liam's voice is like liquid silk. Smooth as butter, flawless, impeccable, towering, vibrant, full of life and confidence. Beauty embodied.
  • @vacuumboots69
    This recording is everything as to why I rate Liam Gallagher one of the best vocalists of all time. His voice from 92-95 was impeccable. Nothing lasts forever, and we're just blessed to hear it, what a talent this kid had. Let's remember him for the talent that he was, and ignore any shenanigans. 
  • @ChrisRCT34
    Purest teenager Liam voice ever ! I agree too, this version is the best. Awsome
  • I used to sing these songs on the way to school when my grandma was still alive. This was her favorite Oasis song. Miss you nana. You and I are gonna live forever. Count on it.
  • I’m so happy there’s a newer, younger generation of oasis fans still out there. I grew up with my older brothers listening to oasis and stone roses, it brings me back to the 90s and what felt like the greatest period for music. No matter how many phases and stages I go through I’ll always come to this. As you were.
