Oasis Live Performance of Columbia at Southend Cliffs Pavilion in 1995
On April 17, 1995, Oasis delivered a blistering performance at the Cliffs Pavilion in Southend-on-Sea, capturing the electrifying energy of a band on the brink of stardom. This live recording came shortly after the release of their debut album, 'Definitely Maybe,' which hit shelves the previous year and propelled them into the spotlight. By this time, Oasis was riding high on the success of hits like 'Supersonic' and 'Shakermaker,' rapidly building a passionate fanbase. Interestingly, even in 1995, the band had already solidified their reputation for raw, heartfelt performances. This gig is poignant not only for its vibrant atmosphere but also for marking a pivotal moment in the Britpop movement, where Oasis began to define their identity in a rapidly changing musical landscape.
