Oasis - Live in Dublin (5th December 1997)

Oasis Location: Dublin, Republic of Ireland Venue: The Point Theatre Date: 5th December 1997 Source: Soundboard Recording The third and final night at The Point Theatre in Dublin, this is one of Oasis’ most popular bootlegged gigs. Of course it’s on a soundboard which is why it’s so well known (more than often under the clever title of ‘Noel Gets To The Point’) and of course that Noel takes lead vocal duties for a second night in a row. Again he is in great form, as are the band and audience, who again sing along very loudly, especially during Noel’s acoustic set. Much like the second night, Noel has kept using his own tailored set which is great to hear, but tonight he swaps out a song here or there to make the set feel more like a Be Here Now one. Firstly, Stay Young is swapped out for My Big Mouth. The fact that this is the only performance of this song on the tour is criminal, but Liam’s voice wouldn’t have been able to handle it. Secondly, The Girl In The Dirty Shirt is played for the one and only time. It sounds fantastic, and even if Noel sang it, I wish this song was added into the setlist for the following year, but alas it also wasn’t meant to be. Setlist sheets from the night also show that Shakermaker may also have been played as part of the encore with Acquiesce, which means that this isn’t technically the complete recording of the show. More unfortunate than that another source for this gig, if it does exist, has not yet been made public yet. For the moment though, this is a great listen, and if you want to listen to a show where Noel takes over, this is the essential one to go for.
