Admittedly, this thread might upset some people but I was thinking about this alternate timeline that covers what could have happened had Knebworth been in 1997 :

April 1996:
The Maine Road gigs bring an end to the Morning Glory Tour

May/June 1996:
What we know as the Mustique demos are created

August/September 1996
The band reconveines at Ridge Farm studios to begin work on Be Here Now

October-Early December 1996
The band tour Australia/New Zealand and a few gigs in Japan are included (kind of similar to how the band performed at Glastonbury in the middle of the WTS sessions). The set list is what we would know as the US summer 96 set list

January/February 1997:
After christmas the band reconveines at Air Studios to finish the album. These sessions mainly consist of recording strings,some vocals and other overdubs and the album is finished

May 1997:
2 nights at Knebworth are announced for 15/16th August 1997 and are sold out
In late May Dyou Know What I Mean is released

July 1997:
Be Here Now is released
The band rehearse for the BHN tour/Knebworth

August 1997:
All Around the World is released as a single in an attempt to be the song of the summer

8th/9th August-Warm up gigs

15th/16th August-Knebworth (Second Night is broadcast on radio 1)
The setlist will be the 16 song set list we are familiar with in our timeline from bootlegs (though Magic Pie is swapped for Don't Go Away)

September 1997:
Don't Go Away is released as a single

Oasis embarks on a US tour. 2 nights at Hammerstein Ballroom are a warm up for 2 nights at Radio City and TV appearances on SNL/David Letterman

Late September 1997: The band returns to the UK for an arena tour, before starting a European tour in October

This is probably very controversial but could also be quite an interesting 'what if?'

That's a lot of downtime from June to August. They would need to do something between those months, if they crank out Be Here Now as fast as they did with What's The Story (Morning Glory?).

This is an interesting idea, and I guess I could take a spin at it.

The band would have to release a single then to keep up the momentum. Most likely My Big Mouth between Maine Road and their tour with The Screaming Trees in late August to mid September, then keep onwards of touring till Christmas. Setlist would most likely be the setlist we saw in September 1996, mostly Morning Glory and Definitely Maybe songs with one or two new songs.

Question is if they completely finish recording Be Here Now in mid 1996 or wait till 1997 to finish, then release it in early 1997 instead of mid 1997.

Then the other question is do they do the festival scene in 1997, they might actually do Glastonbury.

Knebworth is too big to just move around honestly. Didn't even mention Loch Lomond or the Cork gigs, or even the Stockholm gig between Loch Lomond or Knebworth.

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
