Oasis Live Performance of Lyla and Don't Look Back in Anger on Taratata

Date: October 7, 2005

In October 2005, Oasis was riding high on the success of their fifth studio album, 'Don't Believe the Truth,' which had been released just a few months earlier. This album marked a pivotal moment for the band, as it showcased a renewed creative energy and featured hit singles like 'Lyla' and 'The Importance of Being Idle.' Captured during their live performance on Taratata in France, this concert reflects a period when the band was experimenting with their sound while still maintaining that quintessential Britpop vibe. What’s interesting is how this era represented a comeback of sorts. Following a few years of lineup changes and critical wavering, Noel Gallagher, the band's driving force, found himself invigorated, brimming with fresh ideas—proof that great music can often emerge from the chaos of change. The setlist, including crowd favorites like 'Don't Look Back in Anger,' also hints at their legacy, reinforcing their standing as one of the most iconic bands of their time.
