Setlist, Video & Pictures: Liam Gallagher In London
Below is the setlist, video & pictures of Liam Gallagher at the KOKO in London.
On This Day In Oasis History...
On August 10th 1996, Oasis played the first of two nights at Knebworth. Support for the two days included The Prodigy, Ocean Colour Scene, Charlatans, Manic Street Preachers, Kula Shaker and Dreadzone.
Watch footage from the first night below.
More than 4% of the population applied for tickets to see Oasis at Knebworth, the largest demand in British history. A whopping 250,000 people got to see the band over two nights another record but incredibly, Oasis could have sold out another 18 Knebworth shows.
Bonehead on playing at Knebworth on August 10th 1996.
"I remember thinking 'I'll just have a quick hour in bed before we go on', and the Prodigy came on. If you've ever tried to sleep 20ft from the stage when the Prodigy were on live? Forget that."
When Oasis played at Knebworth the band had the following singles in the UK Official Singles Chart.
Whatever, Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Some Might Say, Live Forever & Supersonic. Long before the days of streaming etc these were from sales only.
If the audience for either of the gigs lay down, they would stretch from the Gallagher's childhood home in Burnage to Knebworth.
Rick Pope speaking to Sound On Sound about when Oasis played Knebworth
"Liam wanted his vocal blisteringly loud." It meant the microphones were so powerful that "someone would get within 10 feet of a microphone and you could hear their breath".
VIP guests at Oasis' Knebworth concerts were given their own fold-out Oasis-branded binoculars.
They were also given a special stick of rock that measured around 8" long and featured the bands logo and dates of the now legendary gigs on the label.
Liam Gallagher “I’m very proud of it, I am. What do I remember? Not a lot, really. Nothing. I remember forgetting that we were doing a second night – I thought we were only doing just one, so I got really drunk after the first night. But I can’t remember anything else.”
Noel Gallagher "I remember us flying over and just being sort of normal. We were worried about other stuff: ‘Have you got the beers backstage?’, ‘Are they cold?’, ‘And have you got Sky?’, ‘Is it Sky Plus?’ Stuff like that".

Release Date: April 15th 2002
Highest UK Singles Chart Position: 1
The Hindu Times" is a song by Oasis, and was the first single to be released from their fifth album Heathen Chemistry on April 15th 2002. It was written by Noel Gallagher. Noel got the name The Hindu Times from a t-shirt he saw in a charity shop. The song was the band's sixth UK number one single, staying on top for one week before being dislodged by the Sugababes Freak Like Me.
The title has little to do with the lyrics of the song, which are more in the vein of Definitely Maybe's Rock 'n' Roll Star. It has been speculated that the title refers to the main riffs' similarity to Indian music in sound, sounding as if they were played on a sitar. Gallagher himself says that it is because he had already named the song before any lyrics were written for it.
The song, which combines the powerful fast rock of their earlier work with the psychedelic feel of their later work, was one of the first Oasis singles since (What's The Story?) Morning Glory to receive almost unanimously positive reviews from the critics. However, some fans have criticised the song, stating that the main guitar riff was stolen from the Stereophonics song, Same Size Feet, which was released in 1997 on their Word Gets Around album and uses the exact same, or at least very similar, guitar riff.
The song was unveiled during Oasis' Autumn 2001 Noise and Confusion Tour. The song was due to be released commercially at the same time but Noel decided the track needed more work done on it to be suitable for release.
The B-side, Just Getting Older, was written at the time of the release of Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants.
The demo version of The Hindu Times is radically different from the finished album version. Most of the lyrics (sung by Noel) are different, and the slower sound of the song is much more "grungy", with a heavy drum loop running throughout the song. It is also a semitone higher in the demo.
The 10 Minutes... documentary is the first part of a unique feature covering forty eight hours on the road with Oasis during the Tour Of Brotherly Love which took place in the USA with the Black Crowes during May and June 2001.
