As Oasis prepare to release what could be their final album, we’ve decided to pay homage to one of the greatest bands of all time by posting a series of their videos in the run up to the release of Time Flies... 1994-2009.
"Let There Be Love" is a song on Oasis' sixth studio album, Don't Believe the Truth. Written by Noel Gallagher, it is the third Oasis song to feature Liam and Noel on lead vocals, the first being the B-side "Acquiesce", and the second being "Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth Is".
It was released on 28 November 2005 as the third single from the album in the UK (see 2005 in British music), and the second single in the US. It reached number two in the UK charts, capping a very successful year for the band. Many critics cited this song as proof that Oasis had returned to the form seen in the mid-'90s.
The video is a montage of some of Oasis' live shows during the summer of 2005 including clips of the gigs at Hampden Park and the City of Manchester Stadium. The clips don't actually show the band playing 'Let There Be Love', as the band didn't play the song at either of these gigs.
The song has only been played live two times, the first on an Italian radio show in late 2005 and the second closing a concert in Santiago de Chile, in 2006. The recording of the song was played at the last show of the Don't Believe the Truth tour, in Mexico City.
