OASIS - Acquiesce Live Performance at GMEX Manchester
On December 14, 1997, Oasis delivered a memorable performance at the Greater Manchester Exhibition Centre, right in the midst of their worldwide "Be Here Now" tour. This came right after the release of their third album, "Be Here Now," which was an ambitious follow-up to their earlier successes, including "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" The album quickly became a massive hit but was met with polarized reviews. Surprisingly, at this point, the band's fame was sky-high, with Noel and Liam Gallagher at the center of both musical brilliance and public spectacle. The concert itself captures the raw energy and emotional intensity that made Oasis iconic, showcasing tracks full of anthemic choruses that fans loved. It’s fascinating to think about how this turbulent yet vibrant period encapsulated a kind of rock 'n' roll lifestyle that many fans still romanticize today.
