Oasis

By the beginning of 1997, Oasis was riding high on the success of their second studio album, "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" which had been released in October 1995. This record solidified their status in the Britpop movement and featured iconic tracks such as "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger." During this time, Oasis was preparing for a significant phase in their career, transitioning from the monumental success of their previous album to working on their third album, "Be Here Now," which would be released later in 1997. The live recording of "Stand by Me" at Bonehead's Outtake reflects the band's commitment to maintaining their raw sound while showcasing their acoustic abilities amidst the growing fame. Interestingly, this performance hints at the band's evolving style, demonstrating their versatility and the intimate connection with their audience during this pivotal period of their career.
