Oasis

In January 1997, during the live recording of "Don't Go Away" at the GMEX in Manchester, Oasis was riding high on the success of their third studio album, "Be Here Now," which had been released just a few months earlier in August 1997. This album was highly anticipated and saw the band dive into a more expansive sound, though it received mixed reviews compared to their earlier works. Notably, this performance at GMEX was part of their tour promoting "Be Here Now," capturing the band's immense popularity at the time, especially in the UK. Oasis was known for their dynamic live shows and "Don't Go Away," a reflective track from the album, showcased their ability to mix emotional depth with anthemic sounds. The recording reflects not only the band's musical evolution but also the fervent atmosphere of their performances, which were a hallmark of their career during the Britpop era.
