Feature
Oasis
There is one thing I've always loved and that's a good bootleg and Oasis have more than there fair share of them.
In this part of the guide I'm going to put a number of my own personal favourite gigs the band played from 1994 until 1999.
I first discovered various Oasis recordings at CD and Record Fairs then by trading cassettes with other fans in the post via music magazines.
When I eventually got the internet around 2000 and discovered various Oasis and bootleg forums I was like a kid in a candy shop. I was totally blown away with literally hundreds of hours of footage and audio that existed of the band.
Amazingly Oasis' REMARKABLE back catalogue includes just one official live album Familiar To Millions, something that’s hard to believe give the group's immense popularity.
February 6th 1994
Gleneagles
Scotland
This was the first Oasis gig to ever be filmed professionally, it was recorded in a room full of music executives at a Sony Music conference in Scotland.
The band had recently signed their first record deal and had yet to release any music.
Contrary to the track listing on the band’s Cigarette & Alcohol single and on The Masterplan compilation album, I Am The Walrus was not recorded at the Glasgow Cathouse (as stated), but at the soundcheck of this event.
As it was recorded in an empty room at 10AM the noise from the crowd believe it or not is taken from a Faces bootleg album!
Bring It On Down and Live Forever from this gig appeared on the Definitely Maybe DVD that was released in 2004.
Setlist: I Am The Walrus (soundcheck, no video), Shakermaker, Bring It On Down, Digsy's Dinner, Live Forever, Cigarettes and Alcohol and Supersonic.

Often described as the Holy Grail of Oasis bootlegs it has been rumoured for years that this gig was planned to be officially released for the 1996 Christmas market.
It's one of the best gigs I seen the band play in Cardiff, the recording is a perfectly mixed and mastered soundboard recording.

Maine Road
Manchester

This is one of my most watched/listened to bootlegs of the band, I've picked the first night as I went to it.
Quite a bit of the set from the second night featured in the There And Then release.
The crowd, setlist and more importantly the band were absolutely phenomenal, it was only at these gigs that Cum On Feel The Noize was featured in the bands setlist.
The song was played on Jools Holland and Top Of The Pops with Noel on lead vocals.

August 11th 1996
Knebworth
England
This concert needs no introduction and I imagine it’s the one concert fans most want to get released officially. Easily the biggest gig the band ever played and one of their most iconic, 250,000 fans including myself over two nights witnessed the band at the height of their popularity.
Setlist: The Swamp Song, Columbia, Acquiesce, Supersonic, Hello, Some Might Say, Roll With It, Slide Away, Morning Glory, Round Are Way/Up In The Sky, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Whatever/Octopus's Garden, Cast No Shadow, Wonderwall, The Masterplan, Don't Look Back in Anger, My Big Mouth, It's Gettin' Better (Man!!) and Live Forever.

A few weeks after playing Knebworth the band were due to play one of the most eagerly anticipated MTV Unplugged sessions of the decade.
Around an hour before the band were due on stage at the Royal Festival Hall Liam informed the other members of band he wouldn't be performing due to a sore throat.
Noel took to the stage and played Liam decided to sit in the audience and heckle his own band throughout the show.

I had to chose between this or the G-Mex concert in Manchester that took place on the same tour and I have opted to put this as my choice.
Is it a better gig? Vastly different set list? No, but it needs to be listened to and appreciated.

Noel Gallagher was forced to play two of the three sold out gigs on this leg of the Be Here Now tour after Liam pulled out with a throat infection.
Amazingly twenty fans took up a offer for a refund for the second and third nights of a three-night stay in Dublin.
This was the only time that The Girl In The Dirty Shirt was played live.

Another great bootleg of the band that I have played to death over the years, highlights from the set were originally broadcast on local radio.
The band are all on great form, Noel's acoustic set is magnificent and includes one of the best acoustic versions of Slide Away that I've ever heard.
A full fan recording of the gig can be watched here.
Setlist: Be Here Now, Stand by Me, Supersonic, Roll With It, D'You Know What I Mean?, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Don't Go Away, Talk Tonight, To Be Someone (Didn't We Have a Nice Time) (The Jam cover), Slide Away, Don't Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall, Live Forever, It's Gettin' Better (Man!!) and Champagne Supernova.

Nippon Budokan

I think this was one of the first bootlegs DVD's I got of the band and I still watch/listen to it quite regularly as it's absolutely phenomenal.
The band played three sold out nights at the venue on this leg of the tour, I've always been amazed by how much Oasis were loved in Japan. They would constantly have to add more and more dates to tours due to them selling out in record time.
Setlist: Be Here Now, Stand by Me, Supersonic. Roll With It, D'You Know What I Mean?
Cigarettes & Alcohol (Snippet of Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin as outro), Don't Go Away, Help!, Setting Sun (The Chemical Brothers cover), Fade In-Out, Don't Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall, Live Forever, It's Gettin' Better (Man!!), Champagne Supernova and Acquiesce.

Amazingly the band had never played a note in South America until this tour and the dates in Chile, Argentina and Brazil were all sold out in record time.
By now the band had established themselves as one of the biggest and best bands in the word. During the tour promoting the Be Here Now the band had sold out gigs in the UK and Ireland, Europe, North America, Asia, Oceania.
This is the final full pro-shot concert that features founding members Bonehead and Guigsy.

Gerry Cinnamon has spoken to the new issue of Q how his friendship with Liam Gallagher has helped him come to terms with fame.
He said “I can’t talk to my pals, I get, ‘Cry me a river, while I get up at five in the morning and travel to the arse end of nowhere putting scaffolding up in the pishin’ rain’. I know, I’ve worked on sites all my life. Liam knows the kind of situation I’m in. Even thinking about it, I’m getting emotional. He’s told me stories, a top boy, funny as fuck.”
