I have a lot to say about Shakermaker. It’s one of my early Oasis favourites. I hear it and it still partly transports me back to when I was 10 and first heard it.
I’m very fond of the 1996 versions of it. There’s a great energy to those performances anyways and playing an older song like this at that stage in their career just seemed to bring some self assured quality out of the song. So I’d say Fairfax 1996 first but a lot of 96 ones were terrific.
The 1994 performances had a real spiky sound to them and with Liam’s youthful vocals plus it being the opener made it feel different. I like the Borderline Club version a lot. The Windsor Old Trout version (also opening the gig and one of my favourite gigs of 1994) is stellar.
For 1995 I think the Glastonbury and Slane Castle versions stand out. It’s also worth counting the acoustic versions by Liam and Noel. The Creation Undrugged Noel acoustic and the Paris in-store acoustic by Liam probably.
I think the only time it was played after that (until the SOTSOG tour, even though it wasn’t initially in the set I’m sure until a few gigs in) was when Noel opened for Paul Weller at Brixton Academy on 17th May 1997. He also did the first live version of Half the World Away then too.
Shakermaker was a highlight of the 00 setlist for me, I loved that they brought it back. Vocals were better earlier in the tour but it’s one of my favourite moments off FTM along with Gas Panic and Stand by Me.
I think it’s too soon to rate the DM30 performances but I was beyond thrilled to hear it again. From what I’ve seen Cardiff seems the best but I’d reserve judgment until I have time to see more.

I'm always very reluctant to claim something recent as the best but they've absolutely nailed it on the DM30 tour - both Liam and the band.
