Oasis

At the time of the live recording for "Columbia" on October 13, 2001, Oasis had recently released their fourth studio album, "Standing on the Shoulder of Giants," earlier that year. This album marked a pivotal moment for the band as it debuted at number one in the UK charts, further solidifying their status as rock legends. During this performance at the famed Barrowland venue in Glasgow, Oasis was still basking in the glow of the massive success they had achieved in the '90s, yet they were also navigating the challenges of newfound pressures and internal strife. Interestingly, the Barrowland is known for its intimate atmosphere, allowing for a raw and authentic connection between the band and their fans, which perfectly resonates in this live rendition of "Columbia." This era was characterized by both creative evolution and some turbulence, hinting at the changes to come in their vibrant, albeit tumultuous, journey.
