EDITOR'S NOTE: The exact same "Johnky" recording is in circulation with TWO DIFFERENT lineages, I'm not sure which is correct. #2 was billed as an "Audio Upgrade" but seems to be the same show analog cassette transfer?

Release Notes
This album features five of the seven shows from the 1995 Japan tour for which audio recordings have been confirmed. The 1995 tour, which followed on from the previous year and expanded in scale, was canceled in February of that year and then rescheduled. At this point, the album "Morning Glory" had not yet been released, and only the single "Roll With It" had been released shortly before the Japan tour. However, the setlist featured new tracks from the album that Japanese fans would likely be hearing for the first time.
As with their first visit to Japan in 1994, an acoustic section by Noel was included in the set to accommodate the performance time and to protect Liam's throat. This included an early acoustic performance of "Fade Away," originally featured on the WAR CHILD charity album "Help," which Noel and Liam would be involved in producing after returning to Japan. Additionally, in "Whatever," the verses are sung as chorus phrases, a version like this only seen at the 1995 Japan tour. After "Whatever," they alternate days with a medley of "All The Young Dudes" and "Octopus's Garden," but "Whatever" itself is rare.
During the first Osaka performance at MATSUSHITA IMP HALL, Liam changed the phrase "behind your eyes" to "behind my eyes" in the verse of "Acquiesce," and Noel, as if responding, changed the lyrics to the exact opposite: "We don't need each other, we don't believe in one another, I know we'll never uncover what's sleeping in our soul," making this a must-listen phrase.
Compared to their first and subsequent visits to Japan, the 1995 performance in Japan is not blessed with sound sources, and there are not many already released titles. Even so, by selecting the best sources from each performance and compiling them in this way, it has become a culmination of their second visit to Japan. In addition, a reproduction tour pamphlet of the poster type from that time is included with every set. We hope you will relive Oasis' 1995 performance in Japan, which has already become an important part of the history of the Japanese rock scene, by looking at this. A beautiful picture disc with a permanently preserved press edition.
comments
Noel introduces "Cast No Shadow" as "this is a new one off the album, it's called Cast No Shadow..."
Noel also sings "Whatever" tonight with a slightly different version of the "always seems to me" bridge melody.
I'm pretty sure all the versions of the show in circulation are from the same original audience source, just different generation of cassette transfers and mastering effects (mainly volume!).
Recordings of this show were traded in the late 1990s / early 2000s as Imperial Hall, Oasaka, Japan (Aug 28, 1995) but were in fact recordings of this show, missing "I Am The Walrus".
There are pretty much two groups of shows in circulation with different levels of of amplification, one is HEAVILY clipped/distorted while the other is not:
#1: "Hello Goodbye (1CD)" / "Liquid Nights (2CD)" / "Two Girls With Pills And Powders (2CD)" / "Liquid Gig (2CD)"
The versions that use source #2 are a LOT louder and quite distorted as a result.
Two Girls With Pills And Powders seems to be the most complete source available: it has a longer intro/outro and clocks in at 1:22:24 across two CDs while the other sources are 76/78mins (1CD), although it's pretty bass-heavy and missing some high end. Am guessing this is the closest relation of the original recording.
Below are the waveforms of the first track from each source:
