On This Day In Oasis History...

On August 31st 1994 Oasis played at The Tivoli in Buckley, Wales.

Watch some footage from the gig below that was included on the Definitely Maybe documentary that was released on DVD.

It has now been thirty years since my first Oasis gig.

A few days after the release of the album I finally got to watch the band live for the first time at the Tivoli in Buckley..

My Mum being the absolute legend she was offered to drive me and my friend up from South Wales and straight back home again after the concert. I still remember the excitement and anticipation of waking up on the morning of the gig knowing I was finally going to see one of the best and most talked about British bands in years.

I remember getting to the venue and hearing accents from all over the UK as we waited in the queue, there was a television reporter from Granada interviewing fans about the band. We eventually got in and the staff of the venue were taking tickets from people as they were entering the venue (we will get into that later on in the post).

The place was absolutely packed you couldn't move, we decided between us to get as close as we possibly could to the stage. We hadn't payed £6 plus booking fees to just stand around at the back. I grabbed her hand and we made our way slowly through the crowd until we found a good vantage point not far from the front.

The band eventually came on and the place erupted, out walked Liam, Noel. Bonehead, Guigsy and Tony. We were in front of Liam and Bonehead in what can only be described as a mosh pit we bounced around singing and dancing and having the time of our lives for around a hour.

From what I remember from the setlist the band played Supersonic, Shakermaker, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Live Forever, Slide Away, Columbia, Digsy's Dinner and I Am The Walrus

The songs are not in order and a few are missing it was 30 years ago.

I'm pretty sure they also played Fade Away, during Supersonic someone threw something at Liam and he offered to fight whoever threw it (I believe it was a pint), Evan Dando was on the stage at one point with a woman dancing. It was an absolutely brilliant concert, it lived up to all my expectations and more.

We left the venue after grabbing a handful of tickets each and a poster to remember the gig from the box/ticket office and headed back to my Mum who had been waiting not far away in her car, my hair was a mess, my voice had gone I was sweating and aching all over.

All of the hype, stories and madness that followed the band around in the early days is rightfully now part of the Oasis folklore. The one thing that often gets overlooked from those early days is how tight the original line-up of that band was, it really was something magical to witness and to be a part of.

On August 31st 1996 Oasis played at the Molson Park in Toronto, Canada. 

Listen to a bootleg of the gig below.

Oasis - Definitely Maybe - Deluxe 30th Anniversary Edition Is Out Now

No comments

 


Oasis’ debut album ‘Definitely Maybe’ celebrates its 30th anniversary this August. The fastest-ever selling debut in the UK on release, this seminal album marked the point when Oasis became a cultural phenomenon. Including the classic singles ‘Supersonic’, ‘Live Forever’ and ‘Cigarettes & Alcohol’, its songs sound as fresh and relevant as they did in 1994. Having sold over 6.9 million copies globally, it also sits as the 2nd most streamed album of the 90’s (following Oasis’ (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? at no.1).

Limited-Edition Deluxe 2CD / Limited-Edition Deluxe 4LP includes 2014 remastered album plus the previously unreleased and discarded original recording session from Monnow Valley along with outtakes from Sawmills Studios plus a demo of Sad Song featuring Liam’s vocal - all recently mixed for this release by Noel Gallagher and Callum Marinho.

Various packages are available on the Official Oasis Store here, it's also available on streaming services.
