Oasis

In November 1993, Oasis was in the early stages of their career, following the release of their debut album 'Definitely Maybe.' This album, bursting with anthemic tracks and a raw sound, garnered critical acclaim and laid the groundwork for their meteoric rise in the Britpop scene. By the time of the live recording at Chicago Metro, Oasis was beginning to build a passionate fanbase in the U.S., showcasing their signature mix of soaring melodies and gritty lyrics. This performance of 'Columbia' highlights the band's energetic spirit and frontman Liam Gallagher's magnetic presence, which would soon become iconic. Interestingly, 'Definitely Maybe' was the first album to debut at number one on the UK Albums Chart, reflecting the anticipation surrounding the band's live shows, which were often chaotic yet electrifying, further establishing them as a defining act of the 90s.
