Notes on the individual songs
Wonderwall
In the various audio formats, only two lines of the song come from the recordings at Wembley Stadium:
- “I'm sure you heard it all before
but you never really had a doubt”.
Because Liam did not sing the chorus at the concert and also changed text passages

|
you can hear the vocals from a live performance of the band in the Yokohama Arena in Tokyo on March 5, 2000. The same goes for Noel's background vocals. However, all other traces come from Wembley Stadium.
