Another source this one is taken from MTV Latin recorded by me and transfer to DVD, the quality isn't the best but let me find in a VHS where i have the Master copy that isn't to dark.
Noel dedicates "Don't Look Back in Anger" to the Liverpool Dockers again: "On your way out tonight, when you're going out that door, there's a stall by some people from Liverpool who are being f**ked over by the government. Buy some t-shirts, give 'em some money because one day it might be you. Don't Look Back in Anger."
Live at Earl's Court '97 (aka Oh Brother) was a factory-pressed silver CD release and is missing "Some Might Say" but also includes the BBC TV broadcast versions of the Right Here Right Now sessions at AIR Studios and Bonehead's Pool. It was cloned for the 2002 release Darth Vader Night from Freak Casket. A couple of tracks have slightly different runtimes (eg. "It's Getting Better (Man!!)" - but this is just extra silence at the end of the disc). Same bonus tracks too - seems a pretty lazy copy.
The ULTRA-RARE Earl's Court '97 (3rd Night) Complete is a worse quality recording, but complete. Seems to have breaks every 30 mins or so, so am guessing Two-Rok's source was on C60 cassettes. It also contains bonus tracks from Birmingham '97 (2nd Night).
Through The Years contains "Magic Pie" and "Fade In-Out" only...
Destroyer claims to have four soundboard tracks (sourced from VHS): "Be Here Now", "Magic Pie", "D'You Know What I Mean?" and "Fade In-Out".
However, every soundboard version of "Fade In-Out" (eg. Destroyer) is actually sourced from a TV/cable broadcast of a promo video attributed to Earls Court with accompanying video from this gig but the audio is from Hammerstein Ballroom 2nd Night
In 2022 Japanese label "Bayswater" released the Earls Court Returns box-set which contains all three nights. The 3rd night is a patched version of the existing DAT source ("Oh Brother") combined with "Some Might Say" from the "complete" source.
