Biblical indeed - Tony McCarroll makes mention in his book of this session and of Noel and Liam's winding up of Peter Hook about his leather trousers - you can just about make out Hooky saying that they're banned from the Hacienda and Noel replies 'arsed' :) As others have said it astonishes me how fully formed they were for a just recently signed band with their debut album over a year from release - the songs, the attitude, the voice. You can hear the difference all the touring and rock lifestyle made on Liam's voice if you compare how he sounds here just before turning 21 with how he sounds just 4.5 years later on the later dates of the Be Here Now tour in Australia/New Zealand. Also in terms of how he aged physically too. I guess before this point they really hadn't done a lot of shows and didn't have the money for too much boozing and drugs but 320 shows in 4 years with the way Liam sings plus all the late nights, boozing and cocaine will do that. For me his peak voice would be the year from May of 95 in Morning Glory sessions through to April of 96 and Maine Road, no other rock vocalist can touch that for me
I can remember that Liam was using the Hacienda bar as a place to promote Oasis. Looking for headlines. So...out they went. To be fair Shaun Ryder may have done a bit of that but, that was them. That was them! Plus the Factory connection. So Liam was free loading. It is what it is. Oasis could have opened their own bar.
Excellent contribution to this historical document. Gotta love the attitude. One night of Liam's singing is heavy on the vocals. Unlike other princesses he went at it night after night for years and didn't just call it in for the in between shows. Speaks to who he is as a person that he didn't just preserve and only go for it 6-8 times a year, but instead put the hammer to the floor every night.
Incredible that this was a year before the release of DM... Imagine turning on the radio for a session from a band you've never heard of and hearing this, my head would've exploded
Corey Bolton you prolly would’ve said, oh this is a good band but your head wouldn’t explode cause you never knew the impact they were gonna do back then.
Their first drummer Tonny McCarroll was definitely the best for that band. Rock'n' Roll star has a groove that was lost when he left. He didn't do anything complicated, but he threw in a few simple fills that enhanced the song instead of getting in the way, and played with a steady beat.
Without doubt the best band to come out of Britain in the last 30 years. Oasis was a band for the people and for some reason wrote the right songs for what the people of Britain had been crying out for. These raw uncut versions are why so many people fell in love with their music, pure quality that we don't tend to hear in bands now a days. What we have now is music without soul but lots of heart. Oasis was the last great band that ultimately lived for the music and wrote songs for the people not the music labels.
Support band in King Tut's plays to a room of about 15 people, get a record deal on the spot and become the biggest British band since the Beatles within three years. Absolute madness.
I always wondered where that 'live' version of 'Bring it on down' came from. His shout out at the start always made me laugh when I heard it as it still sounded like they were in s studio..... The credits never stated they were on the radio lol.
Amazing to think that Noel had already written songs that wouldn’t be released until Be Here Now and that one of their classic B-sides was written 3 years before this radio session. Liam’s voice is so different here as well. Before the “ sunshinnnneeee “ vocal. You can tell that he hasn’t been singing in the band that long because he’s really hitting the high notes. Before the late nights and partying would change his singing voice. It’s actually strange to hear how different his singing is here. Not in a bad way though.
Greatest singers ever...Greatest songwrighters ever...Greatest front man ever...coolest and wittiest guys ever........ladies and gentleman put your hands together for the greatest band ever....OASIS.
At this point they were a BAND whose songwriter and lead guitarist Noel Gallagher was. Slowly after this period they started to become Noel Gallagher's musical project whose singer Liam Gallagher was. Not saying it's bad thing alone but the difference can be seen especially after Guigs&Bonehead left. But also when Tony was sacked, he's since become the icon of Definitely Maybe -sound.
They lost their punky sound when Tony was sacked. It wasn’t anything to do with his drumming, it was due to the fact that he stood up to Noel and Noel didn’t like it. Owen Morris said that his drumming was basic but his timing was perfect.
Those last 2 songs, Liam played last night to 55,000 people in Manchester, me being one of them, 29 years after this session. You wonder if they saw anything like that coming when they were recording them here.
@@badgasaurus4211 it's a little later than that. The last performance of his true voice was Carnation in 1998. After that something happened and he no longer sounded the same.
IF Oasis come back...and i kind of hope they don't. I DO hope they in fact re-record "I Will Believe" as their comeback single and give it the fair shake that was due!!! LOVE that song.
Are you sure Cigarettes & Alcohol and Rock n' Roll Star are taken from this radio show? They sound identical to the demo versions. Great upload though, cheers!
+Marc Davis Yep, Oasis just labelled them as "demo" versions. I think they brought along their own sound engineer so in their minds it was a free recording session!
several songs from the demo tape were used on the album with little or no re-recording in the final album versions. Columbia for example has never been re-recorded, it went straight from demo to album.
Wow I always guessed first two songs were recorded live when I listened to the b-sides but never realized it was for a radio broadcast. This is cool stuff.
i probably heard this when it went out, used to listen to ‘Hit the North’ religiously. It was in good old crackly mono 909 on the MW dial! Kinda patronising attempt in them days by BBC Radio 5 to be more ‘provincial’. Now the whole station is in Salford! i think Hook was a guest on that night’s show, but the main hosts were Mark & Lard, ie Mark Radcliffe & Marc Riley. The small man trapped in a box voice you can hear most talking to the band is Riley. Radcliffe might’ve had the night off, or is just less audible? Thank You for posting. Amazing sounds!
Agreed. There was nothing wrong with his drumming, Noel just didn’t like the fact that he stood up to him. Owen Morris called his drumming basic but his timing was perfect.
I can see why they struggled try to record "Bring It On Down" for Definitely Maybe, Tony's drumming at the beginning of that is weird to me. Seems to mostly straighten out when the guitars and especially Liam start. And yes, Liam is amazing here, and the guitars sound great, too. Engineering is great, too, sound is right on. Whoa, Cigarettes and Alcohol is *amazing*, especially Liam!
