This day should have been my 1st Oasis gig but the Paris' one was cancelled cos the trucks were blocked in Lille.
There's a little hiss but keep in mind this tape is now 14 years old.
Just enjoy it.

All tracks acoustic by Noel. Was checking some of my old Master tapes and found that one. There's a little hiss but keep in mind this tape is almost 14 years old.

Comments:

Noel only accoustic. Only ever acoustic performances of Magic Pie and Underneath The Sky (the latter has a French DJ talking over the intro bar of the song).

Cassette Transfer #1 starts with some brief comments from Noel on why they had to cancel the gig that evening (truck driver strike in France).

Cassette Transfer #2 ("thereisalight") runs a bit too slow. This gets fixed in the "Jim Remaster" which changes the pitch by 5%.

An Extraordinary Guy includes a brief intro by the French DJ. About 30 seconds into the song there is a station ident "OASIS sur NRJ"...

The quality on Please Hear Now sounds slightly better than most of the other sources (less audio dropouts / channel bouncing) but unfortunately "Stand By Me" fades in without the intro and all 3 tracks are probably sourced from MP3 (they vary between 192/224 kbps bitrate).

Little James also uses MP3 sources.

MTV Unplugged and Much More uses a proper lossless version of "Underneath the Sky" but the last couple of second are cut :(

Once Upon a Time uses proper lossless sources and is one of the better sources of this session.

Unplugged Vol.3 also uses lossless sources (and has a slightly more complete ending to "Underneath The Sky") but is missing "Stand By Me".
