Comments:

This is the Definitely Maybe promotional gig Oasis did on the day it was released. There seem to be two main sources - on one version Slide Away is cut, the other is complete. All tracks are acoustic.

SOURCE #1
  • Captured Live is the better of the two sources and includes a lot (but not all) of the chat between the songs, but unfortunately "Slide Away" is cut at 02:44. The gaps between some of the songs have been cut - .
  • Through The Years / Thru The Years are mostly Source #1 but swap in "Slide Away" from Source #2 to complete the show. These particular releases seems to be sourced from Minidisc (or more likley MP3) as Spectral Analysis reveals a cutoff at 15KHz. It is also cut and fades in/out between each song, which also helps disguise the switch to Source #2 for the final track.
  • The "Johnky" source / 4 Tracks (FLAC) is a tape transfer and contains the first four tracks only, but seems to be a more complete recording.
  • Cassette Transfer (FLAC) is a transfer from a mid-nineties cassette and has less distortion than the wider-circulating complete recordings.
SOURCE #2
  • Live in 1994 vol.2 is complete, but suffers from a LOT more crowd noise and some tape hiss.
  • Cassette Tansfer is the same complete source, less distortion at the high end.
Definitely Maybe went straight to number one outselling the number 2 slot, "The Three Tennors" by 20,000 units. The album cost £75,000 to record and promote, compared with the "The Three Tennors" 2 million. It was the fatest selling debut album of the 1990s, and at that stage, the fastest selling debut of all time.

A clip of "Shakermaker" is featured in the "With Oasis" documentary that was broadcast the same year.
