Release Notes:
After completing the album “STANDING ON THE SHOULDER OF GIANTS”, Oasis with new members went around the American event to unveil it in December 1999. The pattern is being broadcast in it, thanks to appearing in an event hosted by an American radio station. It was Anaheim on December 11th that became known to fans in this way. The title “HELTER SKELTER CHRISTMAS” was released in the rear tie, and above all, the fans were excited because the live performance of the new oasis could be heard on the stereo sound board recording. Therefore, although it is rough, the sound quality is good enough, but there are two skips in the middle of “Supersonic” and in “Helter Skelter”, and there is a defect at the beginning of the performance of “Champagne Supernova”. Difficulty. Even so, the latest live performance was immediately heard on the sound board, which was a hot topic. After that, the album was released and the 2000 tour was turbulent, so this 1999 live was not talked about at all, but it was just a warm-up stage of a new band. I wonder if I can do it if I think about it.

More than 20 years have passed since the first live activity of such a new oasis, and when I ask it again, the performance content is very interesting although it is short. The overall tempo of the performance on this day was slow, and it was also interesting to get the impression that it was the most “laid back” in the history of Oasis live performances. The new members have just joined and the repertoire is all past songs, but it would be valuable now to have a live performance that is so relaxed. Even for Noel when it comes to “Supersonic,” it’s funny that the tempo has been raised from the middle, perhaps because the performance seemed too slow. In contrast to the band’s performance, Liam’s voice is in great shape as he has been performing live since the end of the previous year’s tour. Moreover, because it is a short stage, he sings to his heart’s content. It is a stereo sound board recording full of such nostalgia, but this gift is a maniac who made up for the missing part of the previous “HELTER SKELTER CHRISTMAS” with another source. The other source used for compensation is full of sound, and it is presumed that the quality is so full that it is unbearable to hear, but it is still a big point that the skipping has been eliminated. In particular, the parts of “Champagne Supernova” and “Helter Skelter” have been adjusted neatly, and the finish is fully enjoyable even if you close your eyes to the discomfort of the sound quality. The nostalgic stereo sound board recording of the oasis transition period has been revived for a long time with this gift CD-R, and it has been reborn as easy to hear!
