Audio CD/CDR Sources All The Young Blues (Flashbulb Records, FLBB015/16) Rock n Roll Stars (Chelsea Records, CFC022)
DVD Sources 1st Gen VHS Transfer Definitely Maybe ("Columbia" only) Live at Hammersmith Palais (Betrayer Deluxe, BDCD-08002 Bonus Disc) Transfer from Audience-Shot (PAL)
Disc 1 of the Flashbulb Records release All The Young Blues (FLBB015/16) was lifted directly from Chelsea Records' Rock n Roll Stars.
It sounds like there is a tape flip at 03:03 in "Married with Children".
"Mr.BB" has issued a "remaster" of the Flashbulb Records release and is a fair bit louder/brighter than the original, especially noticeable on "Sad Song". He also removed the pop of the cut/tape flip in "Married with Children".
There are a few different video sources in circulation:
1st Gen VHS Transfer is a nice source, but opens partway through Rock n Roll Star
VHS Source (see below) is more complete and opens
Live at Hammersmith Palais (Betrayer BDCD-08002 was a bonus disc on "Zigzagging Up and Down" from Betrayer records. The quality is not great, much lower generation sources are available.
The official Definitely Maybe DVD contains a video for "Columbia" sourced from a bootleg. As with other low-quality sources there are lots of effects applied. The audio is superb though, which shows that the soundboards for these early shows are tucked away in the archives

DVD: Live at Hammersmith Palais (Betrayer BDCD-08002):
"This was my first Oasis show (and first show at The Palais), I had not bought the album yet and went on my own (none of my mates were interested when I booked up for the show!!!). My memories of this are pretty hazy although I do remember calling The Palais up to ask what time they were coming on and was told 10.00. This was wrong and I got there about 5 minutes before they hit the stage (I would have missed half the show if I had listened to them). I remember the orchestra at the back of the stage in the right hand corner (as you looked at the stage), and I also recalled the acoustic solo spot. It was a good show and having bought a bootleg of the show a couple of years later and being more familiar with the material I believe it was a pretty standard show for that tour, which compared to other bands makes it a great show.
It is difficult to say anymore as I really went more out of curiosity (gig ticket was cheaper than buying the album) and had yet to realise what a great band they are. I do feel fortunate that I saw the original line-up not long before Tony Carroll was booted out and I felt they were a good, tight unit. Compare this to the recent Glastonbury performance (25/6/2004) and although they have become more professional, the roughness around the edge of this line-up is missing from the band now, and I look wistfully back to the earlier gigs when they played Married With Children (electric) and Digsy's Dinner (bring back Fade Away).
