Oasis - Be Here Now Live at Nippon Budokan

Venue: Nippon Budokan Location: Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan Date: February 20, 1998

On February 20, 1998, Oasis performed at the famed Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, showcasing songs from their third studio album, "Be Here Now." This album had been released just six months earlier, in August 1997, and was highly anticipated following the massive success of their previous records, especially "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" It's noteworthy that "Be Here Now" debuted at number one in the UK charts, cementing Oasis's status as rock icons. However, while the album initially received widespread acclaim, it later faced criticism for its sound and length. The live performance captured the band's raw energy, perhaps hinting at the tension within the group, particularly between brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher. This concert, a highlight in their career, reflects the emotional highs and lows of the band's journey, encapsulating a moment in rock history that fans still cherish.
