Oasis - Live on BBC Radio 1 (20th January 2000)

Location: Maida Vale Studios, London, England Source: FM Broadcast (DAT Recording) Tour: Standing on the Shoulder of Giants Kicking this off a lot sooner than I imagine you all thought! I thought I'd start nice and slow so here is the Oasis performance from when the band performed a session for The Evening Session with Steve Lamacq. I've removed all the DJ chatter from this so it's just the songs. The session was performed on the 20th of January but wasn't broadcasted until the 7th of February, where it would then also be broadcasted on the 8th, 9th and 10th. This is the first time and only time we would hear Talk Tonight performed on an electric guitar, and it's the first time the majority of the UK heard the new "Oasis Mk II" with Andy Bell and Gem Archer. We would also hear My Generation performed by the band for the first time here, this is due to a vote performed on the 17th of January during an acoustic performance with Gem and Noel where the listeners had to choose from five songs with My Generation coming out as the winner and then being performed by the band for the next 6 years. If you feel like this version of the song is familiar, it was also released as the B-Side to She Is Love / Little by Little in 2002. For those wondering, the five songs that were shortlisted were: The Who - My Generation Blur - Country House The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil Nirvana - Come As You Are Robbie Williams - Angels This performance is great though, Liam and the band are in fine form and sound fresh as they're still coming back off a 2 year hiatus since the Be Here Now tour. I especially love Rock 'n' Roll Star from this performance, probably even better than some of the earlier performed versions. Setlist: 00:00 - Sunday Morning Call 05:14 - Rock 'n' Roll Star (first performance since 1995) 11:14 - Who Feels Love? 16:38 - Talk Tonight (only time ever played electric) 21:33 - My Generation (first time ever)
