I don't think Alan White ever hit the skins as well on the Definitely Maybe songs as Tony did. Columbia, Slide Away and Supersonic all smack harder during this era than they ever would again.

Thanks for uploading. Me and two Uni friends - John and Tom - got on a rickety old coach in Coventry to get to this gig on a cold December night. Quick Wimpy beforehand and then across the road to the Civic. We lost Tom within the first 30 seconds of Rock and Roll Star and only found him as I Am The Walrus was finishing. Oasis were astonishing that night - tight, vibrant, everything you wanted them to be. I saw them a few times later in their career and, polished as they were, it never felt as ferocious and real as that night in the West Midlands. It wasn't 'Britpop' to us, it was just incredibly joyful and a hell of time to be young and without worries. I remember turning to John and yelling during Digsy's Dinner: "These could be the best days of our lives". And you know what? They were.

Their punk/rock era, they just conquered new random little cities one by one.

They were making the history of the following 30 years and didn't know yet

I was there! I was 29, and it's the first time I felt old at a gig!

Take me there, take me there, take me there... WHAT FOR!

Awesome gig..... the speed & ferocity of Bring It On Down & Up In The Sky was just epic. Tony's drumming faultless all the gig.

I love their 94, 95 shows alot more than their later ones. They were just special and different, and Liam voice was so raw and fresh sounding like a choir boy just melts your heart. Married With Children and Whatever just beautiful.

This was my first ever gig aged 16. Changed my life forever. Oasis were sensational live in the early days. Thanks for sharing and giving me the chance to relive this precious and landmark moment in my life! I will never forget this night for the rest of my life!

My first proper gig as a young un (15). Me and my mate had no idea what happened at gigs and my abiding memory is the Civic going proper mental on the first chord of the first track. Then walking out at the end into the freezing cold, a sweaty mess, absolutely buzzing waiting for my mum and dad to pick us up! I kind of fell out of love with Oasis once they got really popular but this was a great gig and a great introduction to gigging. Had no idea it had been recorded so this is a great find. Happy memories! Live Forever.

Epic gig. Still one of the best I've ever been to. Truly a band in their prime.

Early year we’re definitely the best raw oasis

35:57 I've always loved this song transition in these early gigs, it perfectly preserves the energy of the first song and carries it into the second one. Live By The Sea shows it really well too.

This is Oasis. Listening to this brings it all back - this is it, this is when the had the power and energy in them to take the World and they did. It makes my spine tingle to be honest - nothing has come anywhere near this in 25 years, and very little touches it prior to that. A force of nature and there was never any doubt as to what they would do. Blessed to have been around to witness it all first hand.

This recording is mind blowing. I listened to this on a really good system in my truck and was amazed at how well Guigsy is mixed, especially on Rock 'n' Roll Star...his bass is booming.

Being from Wolves i can say we were really spoiled with the Civic and the halls round the back .. some of the best nights in my life have been spent at the civic seeing some of the best bands of the 90's .. thanks for this .

You can here the bass , how good is tony 🍀

One of the best pre morning gigs out there, probably prefer this to Southend. They were on fire that night, Tony’s drumming was so fast 👌🏼

This is the kind of gig the guys who are saying that without Liam, Oasis would have been that great, have to listen ! Liam is so fuckin' great there, "Slide Away" and "Cigarettes and Alcohol" are so amazing on this gig and so carried by his voice !

Back when Liam could sing live as good / better than on the records...

Thanks for uploading. Huge Oasis fan here. First time hearing this. The band is on fire here. Epic set. Great sound mix as well. Thank you!

Liam's voice was at it's best in 94 in my opinion. I hear so many people say it was at it's best in 96-98, but it started sounded forced and scratchy by then in my opinion. In 94 it sounded so effortless and natural, yet amazing. Not to mention, Liam could still sing the higher notes. By 95, Noel started singing the high notes coz Liam couldn't reach them anymore. Regardless, I love Oasis and always will. Live Forever x

Fookin best live Oasis I've heard. Columbia & Slide Away as others have said. stunning. And I've almost heard them all as it's an obsession, lol!

One of the best Oasis' Gigs!The best Slide Away, the best Bring it on down! Simply amazing

Married with children is biblical here

My god Slide Away is soo satisfying Live! I wish it was this up beat in studio version, would’ve definitely contested even Live Forever

Liam has always been an incredible rock vocalist. He really delivers and surprisingly never falters and always stays in tune.

This gig sounds unbelievable. Voice and guitar sound amazing. Anybody that was lucky enough to see them in 1994/5 - very lucky people. Perfect set and sound - I would have signed this band on the opening of Rock and Roll Star !!!

Bring it on down rocks !

I remember this being broadcast the first time around. I taped it and played it non stop. One week later I saw them at Liverpool Royal Court. They were brill and I remember Liam wearing the same jacket he wore on totp the night before for Whatever. What days!

Fucking Awesome.... Especially after a few.

26:18 - One of the best live performances of Slide Away in Oasis history, imo!

best live version of columbia by far

Sad they didn't play Live Forever at this gig but other than that omission it's a fantastic recording!

heard alot of bootlegs of oasis in my time but this 1 is defo the best

Raw Oasis sounds 🇬🇧🤘🖤🍻🍻

Gotta love Tony's drumming, oasis lost their edge when he left.

This drummer drove the band . More energy.

Maybe my favorite recording of a live garage band ever...

The greatest version of Columbia

surprisingly one of the best performances

the best oasis gig in the definitely maybe era .. just mindblowing !!!

Great upload! I got the National Express coach down from Derby to this gig. Oasis had been on Later with Jools Holland the night before and I remember Noel mentioned it at the gig.

Cool , yep I went to this show it was awesome .. so much energy , so powerful . Glad I found this .

incredible performance

Great upload mate, thank you!

Wow....... This is Class Man!!!!

Super sound ! Thanks for uploading this great gig. This and Southend Cliffs 1995 are the best early Oasis gigs by far

What I've heard is not what I hear I can see the signs but I've only one ear!!

Soooo glad this has been put up for proper Oasis fans to take in and absorb! This live gig epitomises exactly the raw blend of what all the band members have - that is talent in their own individual way. Almost like a recording, but live to an audience - amazing and beyond class 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

back when music had balls!

WOW GREAT QUALITY, THANKS SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS GIG !!!

Totally loved it

Love how psychedelic they were on the first album. I think of Def Maybe as "Psychedelic British Grunge" 🤘🏾🤘🏼🤘👨‍🎤🌠🥄

Slide Away perfeita como sempre

They sound fucking pristine!!! 😍

8:20 Lydon

Liam sounds exactly the same as the record.... Amazing performance... Plus the band sound tight as fuck.... Always loved the original line up... For me they became too arty farty and lost that early punk edge.

Zak Starkey should have listened to this gig before Glastonbury 2004 and taken notes on the speed

it rocks

Oasis é o máximoooooo viva Oasis haha 🎤🎸

My god they were on form here.

fkn hell this is as good as it gets

Best vocal I have heard for rock and roll star both Liam and Noel sound great

This is Jason...he's from Wolverhampton...he's got 10 kids...and he's 49

I remember everyone just standing around watching the support band then the place went mental when Oasis came on ,great night.

ayeee!!

Rough and ready the oio from Manchester and mr. Brown ian man Taz and scfc green hill lad 💚💯✌️🎸🎶

fooking great

Woah! Whatever on this version is rocking! And they even have Bonehead playing the start.

Privileged to have been there in a less than full civic hall, when musically they were at their raw best. Awesome. Before the hype and arrogance kicked in, and the bandwagon jumpers spoiled it.

Fuck Bring It own Down sounds fantastic!

Seen them the following night in cardiff

Liam's so f*cking good on this that he got the words wrong in Married With Children :)

Best ever ! End of 🙌

Who the fook are Alan, Gem and Andy. This is the best they've ever sounded.

I was there I miss the civic

"It's hard to believe that in early 1994 they had no agent, no money and no manager" except Marcus Russell & Ignition Management - their long time management - jumped on board in May 1993 after they signed to creation through ties with Johnny Marr.

Can't believe they sacked this drummer

Shakermaker!

Noel always said Tony couldnt get BIOD right. Well it sounds like he's got it right here.

Fuck its a shame that all the site afterwards made a lot of people forget how good they were for those few years

Whatever is fucking intense

There's a whole reunion of people who were there at this gig in this comment section lol

Did somebody have this recording splitted in tracks? Thanks

36:00

Up in the sky is punk here

I don't no and I don't care all I no is u take me there

And then almost a year later they sold out earls court.. madness

😃

Anyone remember someone throwing a shoe onstage!?! Liam not too impressed!

Did they really not play Live Forever and Supersonic? Or were they cut from the broadcast for some reason (gig seems a bit short)

How in the utter Fack have I never heard this?!

Don't think they played 'Whatever' live too many times...

Oasis will always be to me liam, noel, bonehead, guigsy and Alan white......live forever

I was there...can anyone remember who supported???
