Oasis

In April 1996, when Oasis performed at Maine Road in Manchester, they were riding high on the success of their second studio album, "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" which had been released just a few months earlier in October 1995. This album was pivotal for the band, catapulting them to international fame with hits like "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger." The concert at Maine Road marked a significant moment in their career, as it was part of a massive tour that showcased their growing popularity and solidified their status in Britpop. Additionally, the live recording captures the band's energetic stage presence and the fervent connection with their Manchester hometown crowd, reflecting the cultural impact they were having during this peak period. This concert also remains iconic, as it was held at a venue integral to the city's football culture, further intertwining the band with their local identity.
