Release Notes
Interesting story these are. According to ijwthstd, this taper worked as an usher in the San Francisco area and has taped hundreds of gigs. I've gotten a few Blur and Pulp gigs from him too. These are the first Oasis related shows the taper recorded. U2 was recorded as well.
Disclaimer, these recordings are a little worse for wear when it comes to the other Oakland show I posted two months prior (and the main source for the shows too). In both recordings, Don't Look Back In Anger is cut and missing a few seconds. The second night had some tracking issues I guess where the same soundbite of someone going "yeah!" can he heard after Live Forever, the 6 second track called 'end' and Champagne Supernova.
The file format for both shows are in AIFF. From what I can gather, its still a lossless format

Supporting U2.
Noel introduces "D'You Know What I Mean" as "our new single that everybody said we'd never make."
Oakland '97 (2nd Night) is a recording of the 2nd night sourced from DAT masters. You can hear some chat between the taper and his friend before the show starts. "D'You Know What I Mean" suffers from some brief sound dropouts around 00:40 in.
The Fab 5 Under The S4X60 uses the same DAT source and seems to patch in this section from another source?
Oakland Here I Come was frequently traded as a recording from the 1st night (18/06/97) when in fact it was a (3rd) audience source of this night.
Oakland Night is the best source of this show out of the three available. There are actually TWO versions of Oakland Night in circulation - both are from the same source recording (non-lossless / 15KHz cutoff), but the release by EXPIRE is slightly quieter and has the left/right channels flipped compared to the other source - not sure which came first. (Thanks to @keke from Live4Ever for additional info about the EXPIRE release).
As of 2025, a FOURTH source is also in circulation courtesy of the "Neekrive Archive".
