MTV unplugged

"... Liam is still in fine form, making this record an endearing and entertaining listen for anybody who shares fond memories of the glory days of Cool Britannia".

"Liam knows that he can never correct for going AWOL in 1996. He even alludes to his walk-off while introducing "Once," which he dedicates to former Oasis guitarist Bonehead-who joins Gallagher for the performance-for being the only member of the band to play a second Unplugged session. But MTV Unplugged is, at the very least, an indication that the irascible, charismatic frontman can still hold a crowd in the palm of his hand for long stretches".

"The Gallaghers have always had a way with a stinging putdown, but we could all do with an absence of cynicism - and the presence of some comfort, hope and optimism - right now, and this 10-song collection certainly delivers on that front. Recorded last August, the modest and warm performance sees Liam let down his trademark bravado, laying bare the bruised sincerity at the core of his unifying back-catalogue. And about time too - Noel and co. recorded their own `MTV Unplugged' at London's Royal Festival Hall in 1996, but Liam was absent due to a 'sore throat'. Here, he rights that historical wrong".
