I didn't liked old version, cause it was remastered in the old method, so I thought I can more improve this bootleg recently.
I have re-remastered and re-matrixed AUD sources, so It's a better than old one.

comments
When the show starts and the crowd are cheering "OASIS" as the band come out, it sounds like Liam shouts "You better be Mad Fer'it... 'cos I'm f**king easy..."
There are two different audience sources for this show which can be identified from the first 40-50 seconds: on the "Tommybagnall" source there are some girls screaming after Liam asks "You better be Mad Fer'it?"... On the second source you can hear a guy shout "we're havin' it!" in response to Liam.
Source #1:
"Tommybagnall" DAT
Sortin' It Out
Source #2:
It's A Knockout
D'you Know What We Mean?
Be Here Now Live '97 Act.11
Sortin' It Out uses the "Tommybagnall" DAT source along with bonus tracks from Chicago Metro '94.
It's A Knockout and D'you Know What We Mean? use a different source - it is slightly louder and clearer compared to the slightly muddier sounding Sortin' It Out / Tommybagnall DAT Master.
Unfortunately It's A Knockout was edited pretty badly and has some cuts/silences between tracks whereas D'you Know What We Mean? is a more continuous recording.
However, D'you Know What We Mean? has a small skip around 2:20 on "Be Here Now" on the first "Been kickin up a storm": the line "from the day that I was born" is missing, it jumps straight to "sing a song to me..."
Be Here Now Live '97 Act.11 (released in Japan on the Sheraton label in 2004) seems to use D'you Know What We Mean? as a base and does a pretty bad job of patching this gap with the missing part from the other source.
It's a Knockout (ironically one of the earliest CDR releases from the same label as Spreading The Word and Sing Me Something New) doesn't have this issue on "Be Here Now" - but it does have some awkward cuts (including short silences) between tracks, rather than being a continuous recording.
The Thieving Magpie Remasters (along with the Wardour release) are matrix releases which combine the two sources. The Thieving Magpie 2022 Remaster apparently uses an improved method but sounds worse to me(!). The Wardour release sounds the best of the matrix releases to my ears, although it still suffers from a noticeably patched verse in "Be Here Now"
