In October 1994, Oasis was on the cusp of international stardom, having just released their debut album, "Definitely Maybe," in August of that year. This period marked a significant turning point for the band, as "Definitely Maybe" was both a critical and commercial success, resonating with the Britpop movement sweeping the UK. The live performance at the Metro in Chicago captures the band's raw energy and burgeoning popularity during a pivotal moment in their career. Notably, the setlist features key tracks from the album, including "Supersonic" and "Live Forever," which were pivotal in establishing their signature sound. Additionally, the performance occurs just before their breakthrough in the U.S. market, emphasizing their ascent as one of the leading bands of the 90s. Oasis's dynamic presence in this recording showcased their potential, as they would go on to release their seminal second album, "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" just a year later.
