comments
Apparently this was Noel's favourite of the two nights at Maine Road...
All the early sources of this show contain a version of "Wonderwall" that fades in after the first two lines ("I don't believe that anybody...") because they lifted the audio from a leaked promo VHS of the show which contained a cut/glitch at this point.
On the original leaked tape the video/audio cuts out to black just as Noel starts strumming and only comes back in 27 seconds later on the line "should've somehow realised what you're not to do..."
Maine Road from KTS skips the whole first verse as a result and fades in at "Backbeat...".
A few different releases have tried to patch this glitch in different ways:
Both Exile on Maine Road (2020 james remaster) and Maine Road 1996 fill the gap by mixing in the audio from an audience-shot video. This remaster was released online without Cast No Shadow because this was officially released on the (What\s The Story?) Morning Glory 2014 Reissue with the remaster being designed to match the sound levels of the official release.
Cum on Feel The Noize is remastered from Exile On Maine Road but the beginning of Wonderwall seems to have been patched in from the audio of the second night
Maine Road First Night has the usual glitch on "Wonderwall" and is also missing "The Swamp Song" and "I Am The Walrus" so that the show would fit onto a single CD
Ultimate Homecoming Triumph is available in "Standard" and "Deluxe" editions (the Deluxe has bonus DVD-Rs and an inner sleeve).
CD1+CD2 is lifted from the previous release Exile On Maine Road, CD3 is lifted from The Maine Event and CD4 is lifted from Dudes Are Back In Town.
Maine Road 20th Anniversary DVD Edition contains the full show (with chapters For each song) along with a photo gallery and the "Pure Oasis" MTV Special from 1996
Maine Road 1996 is 4CD, 2DVD release containing both nights. This title actuallly has 2 editions: the 1st version got the left and right channels reversed by mistak on CD1 & CD2 and Bayswater gave away updated copies of CD1 + CD2 to people that bought their first edition. The second edition is denoted by the "R" that was added to the matrix numbers on CD1 + CD2 of the new edition.
The Promo VHS that was the source for all the bootleg CDs also made its way to Bootleg VHS - back in 1996 traders at Camden Market excitedly sold copies with "Thanks Creation!" proudly displayed on the video inlays and one of the traders told me how he had swapped a copy of the VHS with someone at the record label in return for a stack of bootleg CDs.
Video sources vary in quality dramatically - from VHS transfers of 2nd/3rd generation copies of the original promo to the "Frozzie" (apparently of a 1st Gen Master Tape) and released by various Japanese labels including Flashbulb Records and Bayswater.
