I don't think Alan White ever hit the skins as well on the Definitely Maybe songs as Tony did. Columbia, Slide Away and Supersonic all smack harder during this era than they ever would again.
Thanks for uploading. Me and two Uni friends - John and Tom - got on a rickety old coach in Coventry to get to this gig on a cold December night. Quick Wimpy beforehand and then across the road to the Civic. We lost Tom within the first 30 seconds of Rock and Roll Star and only found him as I Am The Walrus was finishing. Oasis were astonishing that night - tight, vibrant, everything you wanted them to be. I saw them a few times later in their career and, polished as they were, it never felt as ferocious and real as that night in the West Midlands. It wasn't 'Britpop' to us, it was just incredibly joyful and a hell of time to be young and without worries. I remember turning to John and yelling during Digsy's Dinner: "These could be the best days of our lives". And you know what? They were.
How's it going Tim, I am a film student in Wolverhampton, and I'm making a short documentary about this gig, if you'd be interested in discussing a potential interview about the night, I'd love to hear from you.

I love their 94, 95 shows alot more than their later ones. They were just special and different, and Liam voice was so raw and fresh sounding like a choir boy just melts your heart. Married With Children and Whatever just beautiful.

This is Oasis. Listening to this brings it all back - this is it, this is when the had the power and energy in them to take the World and they did. It makes my spine tingle to be honest - nothing has come anywhere near this in 25 years, and very little touches it prior to that. A force of nature and there was never any doubt as to what they would do. Blessed to have been around to witness it all first hand.
@@NotAlkar Honestly I do - I knew it at the time and it affected my life in such positive ways - it was way bigger than just the moment. Such a blessing to have experienced it and I was wide awake to all of it. Pure magic
My first proper gig as a young un (15). Me and my mate had no idea what happened at gigs and my abiding memory is the Civic going proper mental on the first chord of the first track. Then walking out at the end into the freezing cold, a sweaty mess, absolutely buzzing waiting for my mum and dad to pick us up! I kind of fell out of love with Oasis once they got really popular but this was a great gig and a great introduction to gigging. Had no idea it had been recorded so this is a great find. Happy memories! Live Forever.

Epic gig. Still one of the best I've ever been to. Truly a band in their prime.
This was my first ever gig aged 16. Changed my life forever. Oasis were sensational live in the early days. Thanks for sharing and giving me the chance to relive this precious and landmark moment in my life! I will never forget this night for the rest of my life!
How's it going Andy, I am a film student in Wolverhampton, and I'm making a short documentary about this gig, if you'd be interested in discussing a potential interview about the night, I'd love to hear from you.
This recording is mind blowing. I listened to this on a really good system in my truck and was amazed at how well Guigsy is mixed, especially on Rock 'n' Roll Star...his bass is booming.
35:57 I've always loved this song transition in these early gigs, it perfectly preserves the energy of the first song and carries it into the second one. Live By The Sea shows it really well too.
Being from Wolves i can say we were really spoiled with the Civic and the halls round the back .. some of the best nights in my life have been spent at the civic seeing some of the best bands of the 90's .. thanks for this .
im also from there, i only went to this gig though, did you go to the wulfrun gig a few months earlier, i couldnt as I had a family holiday and wasnt allowed to skip it. Ill be at Wembley tho ;)
@@jl45000019 Hows it going, I am a film student in Wolverhampton, and I'm making a short documentary about this gig, if you'd be interested in discussing a potential interview about the night, I'd love to hear from you.
Liam's voice was at it's best in 94 in my opinion. I hear so many people say it was at it's best in 96-98, but it started sounded forced and scratchy by then in my opinion. In 94 it sounded so effortless and natural, yet amazing. Not to mention, Liam could still sing the higher notes. By 95, Noel started singing the high notes coz Liam couldn't reach them anymore. Regardless, I love Oasis and always will. Live Forever x
Liam's *voice* was best 1994, but his technical skill i.e. how he sang was best in '96. If you listen to Glasto '94 his voice is excellent but he doesnt really know how to sing dyou know what I mean?
This gig sounds unbelievable. Voice and guitar sound amazing. Anybody that was lucky enough to see them in 1994/5 - very lucky people. Perfect set and sound - I would have signed this band on the opening of Rock and Roll Star !!!
This is the kind of gig the guys who are saying that without Liam, Oasis would have been that great, have to listen ! Liam is so fuckin' great there, "Slide Away" and "Cigarettes and Alcohol" are so amazing on this gig and so carried by his voice !
They lost there punk edge, which honestly I think is what they wanted. I would’ve liked to hear Alan white play songs like bring it on down and fade away to see if they could’ve stayed punk but he was definitely needed for the morning glory direction
I remember this being broadcast the first time around. I taped it and played it non stop. One week later I saw them at Liverpool Royal Court. They were brill and I remember Liam wearing the same jacket he wore on totp the night before for Whatever. What days!
Great upload! I got the National Express coach down from Derby to this gig. Oasis had been on Later with Jools Holland the night before and I remember Noel mentioned it at the gig.
Liam sounds exactly the same as the record.... Amazing performance... Plus the band sound tight as fuck.... Always loved the original line up... For me they became too arty farty and lost that early punk edge.
This material was written, rehearsed and refined for a long time. You simply dont get to do that when you are touring all the time and having to produce new songs. That's why they call it the 'second album' thing.
Privileged to have been there in a less than full civic hall, when musically they were at their raw best. Awesome. Before the hype and arrogance kicked in, and the bandwagon jumpers spoiled it.
He probably couldnt play wonderwall and some of the newer stuff.. But shouldve stuck by him and worked the sound round his drumming cause the way he played noone plays like him.. Very choppy but it works and drives the band perfect for oasis.. We all know noel was a controlling cunt that sacked everyone. Genuinely nice guy aswell tony.
@@Tank1 I think he just had it in for Tony tbh as I've heard every complaint under the sun about his drumming that is just wrong. People say he can't keep time and yet he's basically metronome perfect for at least all the 94 shows (including the infamous Whisky A-Go-Go show). He's a very musical drummer who had a lot more to offer than Alan "Same Fill Every Time" White.
He struggled to play to a click track. And when you have to make that big crossover record, and time is money, if your drummer can't play exactly in time, then you're fucked.
nahhh, it's amazing, without a doubt the most accomplished live sound of the band, you can hear them all clearly, Bonhead on the left, Noel on the right, Tom and Liam in front, and De G's bass bouncing
"It's hard to believe that in early 1994 they had no agent, no money and no manager" except Marcus Russell & Ignition Management - their long time management - jumped on board in May 1993 after they signed to creation through ties with Johnny Marr.
Soooo glad this has been put up for proper Oasis fans to take in and absorb! This live gig epitomises exactly the raw blend of what all the band members have - that is talent in their own individual way. Almost like a recording, but live to an audience - amazing and beyond class 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I don't think Alan White ever hit the skins as well on the Definitely Maybe songs as Tony did. Columbia, Slide Away and Supersonic all smack harder during this era than they ever would again.
So.true.....tony rocked.
Worst mistake oasis made was agreeing to let mccarrol go as adrummer. They lost their punk edge.
spot on👌

Early year we’re definitely the best raw oasis
Awesome gig..... the speed & ferocity of Bring It On Down & Up In The Sky was just epic. Tony's drumming faultless all the gig.
I was there! I was 29, and it's the first time I felt old at a gig!

They were making the history of the following 30 years and didn't know yet

In 95 all he didn’t do was the falsetto on live forever. He did the rest just fine.
Liam's *voice* was best 1994, but his technical skill i.e. how he sang was best in '96. If you listen to Glasto '94 his voice is excellent but he doesnt really know how to sing dyou know what I mean?
2006
His early 1995 voice was on par with 1994 in my opinion. It wasn't until the Earls Court gig when it started becoming a bit raspy.
i was there, i had no idea it was recorded and uploaded - im ripping this and keeping a copy - thanks for the upload
26:18 - One of the best live performances of Slide Away in Oasis history, imo!
Shay Xylander I was just thinking the same thing, pretty crazy I never heard before
Bring it On Down was just an insane perfomance OMFG
Liam has always been an incredible rock vocalist. He really delivers and surprisingly never falters and always stays in tune.
Worse than an Amazon fake review, I love oasis but this is a false statement
Until 2000, and that’s being liberal
Lots of sarcasm here
You can here the bass , how good is tony 🍀
Thanks for uploading. Huge Oasis fan here. First time hearing this. The band is on fire here. Epic set. Great sound mix as well. Thank you!
This gig sounds unbelievable. Voice and guitar sound amazing. Anybody that was lucky enough to see them in 1994/5 - very lucky people. Perfect set and sound - I would have signed this band on the opening of Rock and Roll Star !!!

This drummer drove the band . More energy.
That's just the music not the drummer tony was a shit drummer who could only do basics
@@gaspanic5279 I’m assuming you could drum better?
@@898joker1 i dont have to even touch the drum to know that tony was shit
@@gaspanic5279 sure, whatever you say mate.
Tony was never that bad of drummer. Everyone simply writes him off simply because the potato (Noel) said he was bad
My god Slide Away is soo satisfying Live! I wish it was this up beat in studio version, would’ve definitely contested even Live Forever
Gotta love Tony's drumming, oasis lost their edge when he left.
Alan white was better it was once bonehead and guisey left oasis were kind of fucked
Whitey was better imo if you're saying Oasis lost their edge after Tony left that means they became crap after Definitely Maybe haha
They lost there punk edge, which honestly I think is what they wanted. I would’ve liked to hear Alan white play songs like bring it on down and fade away to see if they could’ve stayed punk but he was definitely needed for the morning glory direction
@@michaelpaul3481 Alan did play both songs live. For example in Glasgow 2001 + Berlin 2002 (Fade Away) & Munich 2003 (Bring it on down)
Sharrock > Tony > Whitey > Ringo's son
Bring it on down rocks !
Back when Liam could sing live as good / better than on the records...
Not true sir
He’s getting better man!
Fookin best live Oasis I've heard. Columbia & Slide Away as others have said. stunning. And I've almost heard them all as it's an obsession, lol!
best live version of columbia by far
Agreed. The greatest version of their greatest song imo.
I remember this being broadcast the first time around. I taped it and played it non stop. One week later I saw them at Liverpool Royal Court. They were brill and I remember Liam wearing the same jacket he wore on totp the night before for Whatever. What days!

the best oasis gig in the definitely maybe era .. just mindblowing !!!
One of the best pre morning gigs out there, probably prefer this to Southend. They were on fire that night, Tony’s drumming was so fast 👌🏼
Maybe my favorite recording of a live garage band ever...
heard alot of bootlegs of oasis in my time but this 1 is defo the best
Seen them 1994 mad man love it
Best I think and don't no them amazing stuff that day yea
Me u and sparky yea mina and who Dr who AK

What I've heard is not what I hear
I can see the signs but I've only one ear!!
The greatest version of Columbia
Sad they didn't play Live Forever at this gig but other than that omission it's a fantastic recording!
they did... there is a bunch of songs cut from this broadcast, live forever, supersonic, spaceman
