Release Notes
In 1999, while recording a new album, early band members Bonhae and Guigsy left the band. Amid concerns about the band's future, Noel and Liam held a press conference, stating, "Oasis' future is secure. This story and its glory will continue." Soon after, Gem and Andy joined the band as new members. A mini-tour of the US at the end of 1999 was likely intended as a test run for the new members in preparation for the larger tour planned for the following year, 2000.

This album covers the entire US mini-tour in December 1999. In particular, the December 11, 1999, release was titled "Helter Skelter Christmas," but featured dramatic cuts to three tracks: "Supersonic," "Champagne Supernova," and "Helter Skelter."

A later version, titled "Helter Skelter Christmas Fixed," filled in the cuts with a different source, but the sound quality was noticeably different, creating an unnatural feeling of an extreme hollowing in the edited sections. It also had a more fatal flaw than the sound quality difference. The audio used to edit the missing opening of "Champagne Supernova" wasn't from the actual performance, but was instead from a performance in Philadelphia on December 3, 1999, a faked version using a different performance. In contrast, this release properly captures the sound from the actual performance, and even includes Liam's MC, which was missing from the previously released version.

With the departure of Bonehead and Guigsy, two longtime allies since the band's formation, what does Oasis have in store for them now? This is a complete recording of the 1999 North American mini-tour, which took place just after the new members joined and was watched with bated breath by fans around the world.

comments

"The thing about Standing on the Shoulder of Giants is that I had a full year to sit in my 16-track bedroom studio with an engineer friend and make demos, whereas the demo sessions for Be Here Now were finished in two weeks and they were really rough. We didn't bother about what sounds we were going to use, or the arrangements, or anything. I thought, "We'll work all that out when we get to the studio." This time, however, I had basically done the album twice before it even got to the band. I had written and recorded the songs on a little Walkman, and then I demoed the tracks on ADATs in my bedroom. And we ended up using a lot of stuff from the demos on the actual record because the demos were that good."
- Noel Gallagher, guitarplayer.com, 2000
