Oasis

In August 1997, Oasis delivered a powerful performance at GMEX in Manchester, right amid the release of their third studio album, 'Be Here Now.' This album, which hit the shelves just days later, showcased the band's soaring ambition and larger-than-life sound. 'Be Here Now' was known for its lavish production and anthemic tracks, a reflection of the band's meteoric rise during the '90s Britpop explosion. At the concert, fans could feel the electric energy as iconic hits like 'D'You Know What I Mean?' and 'Stand By Me' resonated through the venue. Interestingly, the album debuted at number one in the UK charts, making it one of the fastest-selling albums in history. Despite its initial commercial success, 'Be Here Now' would later spark debates among fans and critics, highlighting the band's struggles with the pressures of fame and expectation in their later years.
