Oasis

In December 1997, Oasis was riding high on the success of their third studio album, 'Be Here Now,' which had been released just a few months earlier in August. This album, marked by its epic sound and grand ambitions, showcased the band's growth and desire to experiment, though it was met with mixed reviews compared to their earlier works. The live performance at the Greater Manchester Exhibition Centre is celebrated not just for the raucous atmosphere—it captured the raw energy and charisma that Oasis was known for. Fans often regard this gig as one of their best, embodying a sense of euphoria that echoed through the crowd. An interesting tidbit is that this period saw tensions brewing within the band, yet in this moment, they managed to unite the audience in a shared love for their music, making it truly memorable.
