Definitely Maybe Tour on arvau

Wikipedia / Definitely Maybe Tour

The Definitely Maybe Tour was a concert tour by English band Oasis in support of their hugely successful debut album Definitely Maybe. The tour, which spanned the UK, Europe, Japan, the US and Canada, included 143 shows over a period of several months in 1994 and 1995 amidst 10 different tour legs. The tour started on 6 February 1994 with a short concert at Gleneagles, Scotland, during which a live version of "Supersonic" was recorded and then released as a B-side on the "Live Forever" single. and ended on 22 April 1995 at the Sheffield Arena. The latter show featured an incomplete acoustic version of the band's future hit "Don't Look Back in Anger", and was also the last concert to feature original drummer Tony McCarroll.

Definitely Maybe was released midway through the tour in August and was widely acclaimed, propelling Oasis to become one of the foremost British acts and put them squarely at the forefront of the emerging Britpop scene. The Gallagher brothers regularly made tabloid headlines for their frequent fallouts and rockstar lifestyles, and the tour had several disruptions and cancellations. This included an infamous incident in which all of the band except Noel were deported from Amsterdam after starting a skirmish with other passengers on board. Another such occasion occurred when the band used meth with The Brian Jonestown Massacre prior to the 29 September 1994 gig at the legendary Whisky a Go Go in California. The gig was a failure with numerous mistakes and afterwards, Noel left the band for at least a week. He was ultimately tracked down by the band's management and persuaded to continue the tour. Noel wrote the song "Talk Tonight" and "(It's Good) To Be Free" during this time while away from the band. They then headed to The Congress House Studio, Austin, Texas, to record those 2 songs along with "Half the World Away" which was written in during the portion of the tour in Japan.

The Cliffs Pavilion gig on 17 April 1995 was filmed and later released as the Oasis VHS/DVD Live by the Sea.
