Release Notes ("gbg" Rip)
This looks really as the unprocessed source of the bootleg versions... spectrum looks the same on this as on the '1996 Live' bootleg version, but on the bootleg you see it was enhanced . I prefer the sound of this but both sound perfect it's a matter of tastes. But this is the complete recording, including 2 more songs (MG acoustic & DLBIA) and i really think it's complete since Liam loses his voice badly at Live Forever and checking the setlist they would only had left I Am The Walrus out, and with Liam losing his voice is the most accurate guess.

Release Notes
★Oasis' "BIELEFELD 1996 DAT MASTER" comes with a special bonus disc, "UTRECHT 1996," featuring a superb stereo soundboard recording of the band's first live show of 1996, January 10th, in Utrecht, Holland, recorded from the broadcast.
OASIS - UTRECHT 1996 (Ltd Bonus CDR)
Vredenburg Music Centre, Utrecht, Holland, January 10th, 1996 STEREO SBD
Since we're releasing this exquisite recording documenting Liam's recovery after a cold-hit Utrecht performance, it would be a shame not to include the Utrecht recording as a gift with the initial shipment. Utrecht's first live show of 1996, January 10th, was recorded for radio and later broadcast.
Based on this, items such as "1996" and "GET YER KICKS IN '96" were produced at the time, but all of them contained the same track order that was edited for broadcast, and had the problem of missing "Morning Glory" and "Don't Look Back In Anger," which were cut during broadcast.
However, this time, a British Oasis researcher sent us a literally complete set, with the exact track order and all songs included. The sound quality is slightly reduced for the two songs cut during broadcast, but unlike the previously released CD-R "UTRECHT 1996 COMPLETE," which was a precursor to the complete version, there is no noise or loss of sound quality for "Morning Glory," and it is still fully audible. After all, it was originally recorded on a stereo soundboard for broadcast.
Even so, Liam seemed to be in a lot of pain that day, and the soundboard makes this even more apparent. His voice sounds rough right from "Supersonic," and by the next song, "Hello," he's in terrible shape. The same song marked a turning point in Bielefeld, where Liam's voice improved after his roughness there, while here he's getting worse and worse, a stark contrast. In "Some Might Say," Noel has to sing every chorus.
With Liam in this condition, Noel's heart-pounding vocals and excitement during the acoustic segment were all the more impressive. That's why it's such a big plus that "Morning Glory" is even included.
Liam returns for "Live Forever," but he's thrashing about while singing. He eventually gives up singing altogether and leaves it entirely to Noel. It's amazing how poorly he's performed on TV. Furthermore, all of the items released in 1996 are now virtually impossible to find. At the same time, it also provides a clear picture of how Liam made a remarkable recovery in Bielefeld. Check out these before and after photos in this gift!
comments
Both 1996 from Oxygen and Wonderlive contain the FM broadcast in a weird running order.
Wonderlive rounds off the disc with an interview from Dutch Radio ("Feb 1996") and "Some Might Say" from the White Room sessions which had recently been broadcast.
1996 contains bonus tracks such as the 1994 Later with Jools session and a couple of demos ("Fade Away" and "Some Might Say").
Utrecht Complete from Go Recordings is a rare bootleg that features the complete show. The disc finishes with "Sad Song" and "Bonehead's Bank Holiday" from the vinyl version of Definitely Maybe and (What's The Story?) Morning Glory.
Utrecht (Wardour 460 bonus disc) uses the same source.
Liam has problems with his vocals throughout the show so Noel has to take the lead for some parts of the songs - on "Live Forever" it finally gives out 90 seconds in and Noel takes up lead vocals for the rest of the song.
Great acoustic versions of "Whatever" and "Morning Glory" from Noel.
