Stand By Me – Liam Gallagher (MTV Unplugged) | MTV Music

        Liam Gallagher, the brazen frontman of British rock band Oasis, treats us to a live, unplugged, and refreshing interpretation of one of their most popular songs. Dressed in his signature, all-black parka, he delivers a stunning, articulate performance that makes you wonder if he really suffered from vocal health problems in the first place. His unique, nasal, rasp we all know and love reverberates off the walls of the grand Hull City Hall in Yorkshire, England, bolstered wonderfully by the passionate audience. Paired with his talented band and supporting musicians, the end result is a brilliant and unforgettable rendition of a legendary composition. The production, audio, and video crews worked in perfect harmony to compile this video, combining beautiful solo camera angles with highlights of the crowd and band. My favorite parts include the slow pan from ceiling to floor at 0:01, introducing us to Liam and the song itself. We revisit the same camera technique at the start of the final chorus at 4:36 as the band reaches an emphatic climax in both vigor and dynamics. I love the way we get a glimpse into Liam’s personality from his gestures between verses, showing that he always will have the young attitude he’s known so well for.
