Best Oasis Performances

This is a small compilation of the best Oasis Performances Live, In a Studio, Radio or TV broadcast.

Supersonic 
MTV 120 Minutes (1994)

Oasis’s 1994 MTV 120 Minutes set, especially their take on “Supersonic”, captured a band in its explosive early phase. With aggressive guitars, brash vocals, and stage charisma, the performance remains a fan favorite—praised for its sheer force and as a defining moment in their breakout era.

Live Forever 
Glastonbury Live 1994

This performance of Live Forever at Glastonbury 1994 is a standout because it captures Oasis just before they exploded into superstardom—raw, hungry, and completely in sync with their audience. Liam's vocals were sharp and full of attitude, Noel’s guitar work was tight and anthemic, and the whole band played with a swagger that made it feel like they already knew they were going to be massive. The energy was electric, the crowd was hooked, and the moment was pure, unfiltered Britpop in its most exciting form.

Fade Away

Glastonbury Live 1994

“Fade Away” at Glastonbury 1994 captured the band at their fiercest best—charged, candid, and on the cusp of major breakthrough.

This was a pre-album Definitely Maybe Oasis, still hungry, unapologetically raw, and buzzing with the kind of audacious energy that would propel them from small stages to global icon status. Noel’s jangling riffs drove the momentum, Liam’s vocals crackled with urgency and swagger, and the band sounded like they were playing not for fame, but to stake their claim. It wasn’t polished, it wasn’t rehearsed—it was an explosion, and it left no doubt that this was a group destined for greatness.

Married With Children 
BBC Radio 1 'The Evening Session 1994

Performed live in front of a small studio audience of competition winners, Oasis delivered “Married with Children” with fierce drive and gritty charm. Liam’s vocals channeled urgency and unfiltered expression, while Noel’s guitar work remained ballsy and riff-centric, capturing the unpolished swagger of the band's early sound. The performance wasn’t about polish—it was about attitude, making it a powerful moment of pre‑mainstream intensity that resonated with authenticity and youthful fervor. 

D’You Know What I Mean
Nulle Part Aillerus 1997

Oasis performed “D’You Know What I Mean?” on Nulle Part Ailleurs, a French TV show on November 5, 1997, delivering a tight, explosive version that distilled the song’s sprawling studio production into a gripping live TV moment.

Running just over six minutes—pared down from the album’s 7:42—the performance maintained the track’s sweeping energy and grandiosity while adapting it neatly for a broadcast setting.

Liam’s vocals were sharp and assertive, layered over Noel’s dense, swirling guitar work and that signature slow-burning rhythm. With its hypnotic drive and full-force swagger, the song stood out as a defining live moment from the Be Here Now era.

Stand By Me
Nulle Part Aillerus 1997

Oasis followed up “D’You Know What I Mean?” with a heartfelt and confident live rendition of “Stand By Me,” bringing warmth and emotional weight to the TV stage. Trimmed to a focused five or six minutes, the performance stayed true to the song’s melodic core while giving it a more raw, immediate edge. Liam delivered the vocals with genuine feeling, matched by Noel’s rich, melodic guitar work, making it one of the most memorable live TV moments from the Be Here Now era.

It’s Gettin Better (Mann)
Air Studios, London - 1997

Oasis delivered a powerful, high-energy version of “It’s Gettin’ Better (Man!!)” at Air Studios for the Right Here, Right Now BBC special, recorded during sessions on July 2nd and 3rd, 1997. Running between five and six minutes, this performance presented a more focused and urgent interpretation compared to the album’s layered, expansive production. The stripped-down live setup allowed the song’s raw rock intensity to come through, driven by aggressive guitars, propulsive drums, and Liam’s passionate vocals, making it a memorable highlight of the Be Here Now era.

More to come… stay tuned!
