Oasis

In December 1997, Oasis delivered a stellar performance at the Greater Manchester Exhibition Centre, which came shortly after the release of their third studio album, "Be Here Now," in August of that same year. This album, often polarizing among critics and fans alike, marked a shift toward more ambitious production and thematic exploration for the band. The live rendition of "Fade In/Out" captures the raw energy and camaraderie Oasis was known for, showcasing their larger-than-life presence at a time when they were riding high on the success of their earlier albums. Interestingly, this performance reflects the band's meteoric rise and the palpable excitement surrounding Britpop during the late '90s, placing them at the forefront of the music scene, and it serves as a prescient moment before they began to face internal tensions.
