A passionate fan wrote on Reddit: “Honestly, I think Gas Panic! at Wembley 2000 is the best live song Oasis ever did. The whole vibe is unreal-dark, trippy, powerful. That intro alone feels like you’re about to witness something big, and then Liam comes in and just absolutely owns it.
Man, it’s majestic when he sings “an hour to sing for his soul.” Every time, gives me chills. He means it when he says it. His voice is carrying a lot of weight.
“It’s one of those situations where everything works out perfectly: his performance, the band’s energy, the audience’s fury.” Additionally, it demonstrates how seriously underappreciated Standing on the Shoulder of Giants material might be.
However, some fervent supporters quickly point out that the triumphant return of this particular number might not occur given Liam Gallagher’s evolving singing voice.
