comments
All the soundboard bootlegs in circulation are from the Global Satellite Network syndicated show "Live from the Pit", originally Broadcast Mar 25-31, 1996 and supplied on Promo CDs to radio stations:
During "The Swamp Song", Liam says "good evening France!", then appologises saying "dunno where the fuck I am, forgotten all about it!".
The band sound like they are having a crack and talk a lot of shit throughout the performance (eg. Liam randomly says "John Craven's Newsround" before they launch into "I Am The Walrus" - the US crowd wouldn't have had a clue what he was talking about...
On the original FM broadcasts there are some promo clips of Noel after "Champagne Supernova" and "Slide Away". Noel also bangs on about how he hates Hole and Courtney Love (and how he'd take it all back if he ever met her).
"This is Noel and Bonehead from OASIS and we're at the Pit. The best syndicated live-thingy we've ever done. Allegedly."
"Hello this is Bonehead and Noel from OASIS and we're back, live at the Pit. And it's shit in the pit..."
American Supernova incorrectly lists the date as March 8th and is missing "Supersonic" and "Cigarettes and Alcohol".
The Super Golden Radio Shows release is designed to look like a radio station promo, but as far as I can tell it's a bootleg (originating from Italy) and is identical to American Supernova
Loch 'n Roll Star from D.A.T (and the copy from Generation, "Scotland Forever") were released to cash in demand for recordings of the historica Loch Lomond gigs in 1996 but were actually just edited down versions of this show.
Tartan Dream from KTS (and the copy "Take The High Road") were the same, even listing the Fairfax tracks as being from Loch Lomond.
An audience video source exists on VHS/DVD transfer and was bundled with Holy Shit!! (Livid At Yankee) from Betrayer Deluxe. Unfortunately it has been cropped for widescreen and is from a 2nd generaiton (at least) VHS source - but is complete.
(Better quality copies of the show exist on VHS but "I Am The Walrus" is cut.)
