Oasis - Acquiesce Live Performance at Knebworth Park Concert

Venue: Knebworth House Location: Knebworth, England, United Kingdom Date: August 10, 1996

In August 1996, Oasis was riding high on the success of their album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?", which had been released in 1995 and was pivotal in establishing them as a cornerstone of Britpop. The performance of "Acquiesce" at Knebworth Park, part of their legendary two-night concert series, reflected the band's meteoric rise and widespread popularity. This live recording showcased not only their musical prowess but also the intense fan fervor surrounding them at the time, as an estimated 250,000 fans attended the shows. Interestingly, "Acquiesce," while not part of any studio album during the Knebworth concerts, was later included as a B-side on "Some Might Say" and has since become a fan favorite, highlighting the band's knack for creating compelling tracks that resonated with their audience. The Knebworth performance solidified Oasis's iconic status in the music landscape of the '90s and is remembered as a defining moment in their career.
