To the OP, thank you so much for bringing Oasis back into my consciousness! I loved the first album but not much more. After following this post I checked it out and they have a 3 disk version of Definitely Maybe packed full of goodies and I also found an excellent 94 boot to go along with it. Great Rock and Roll no matter what anybody says!
Haha Your welcome, I’ve been doing the same.
Check out the Wetlands 1994 Gig on YouTube. I only wish it was a little better quality.

Great stuff Thanks Coffeepotman !!
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
You're not down with who I am
Look at you now you're all in my hands tonight

It was Oasis or Blur back in those days, weren't it? And Oasis CLEARLY won out.

I catched them three days before Knebworth at Sjöhistoriska in Stockholm, it was magical! Liam came out on stage like Nosferatu drinking Guinness and with a proper menace not seen since Keith in the 70's.
Thank God for England, bringing us real Rock stars since 1943.

There was genuinely something in the air at Oasis gigs during that period. The crowds at those gigs in 95 & 96 were almost of one mind. Biblical is the only word for it really! Spiritual affairs. Every song was an anthem.

Certainly was biblical. In the UK and Ireland especially Oasis were a genuine cultural force. Big doesn't describe it. Omnipresent in media over here in '96-'97, it was a given that you owned one or both of their albums. The singles were huge and became as prized as the albums due to the great B-Sides contained. On only their second album, they had ascended to rock royalty in these parts. Announcements of shows in Ireland were greeted euphorically.
It didn't last, and you can see in the official documentary films since, they may as well have ended following Knebworth in 1996.

The thrill of getting a ticket for the Point Depot gig in 96 was just unbelievable. They went quick and were scarce. That was back in the days when you’d look at the ticket twice a week for months before the gig just to check it was still real!! I realize now almost 30 years later how lucky I was to have seen them 4 times on those first two album tours. It was the end of an era stretching back to the 60s. Technology changed gig going forever. It was a hive mentality at gigs back then with no phone’s to distract people. Those shows in 95 & 96 were amongst the last great gatherings. (I got old quickly)

I wish I'd gone, never saw them live! Saw Liam live with Beady Eye a few times, but never Oasis. I remember those 1996 Point Depot shows, tickets like gold dust. Didn't Noel sing for one of those as Liam didn't show up?
Live they were good and even still great into the 2000s. When they got Zak Starkey and later Chris Sharrock they could still rock supremely - the proshots from 2008/2009 for example, sounding damn fine.
