December 14, 1994 • Maida Vale Studios, London, England

Setlist

Show Notes

• The session was recorded on December 14, 1994, in front of a small studio audience of Radio 1 Evening Session competition winners and broadcast the following day.
• Jo Whiley introduced the session as a "live broadcast", prompting Noel to mention that Oasis were also appearing on Top of the Pops that evening. Noel performed 'Sad Song' especially for Jo Whiley and introduced 'Talk Tonight' as a new song. 'Whatever' and 'I Am The Walrus' featured a string section.
• In 2004, a CD transfer from a master recording by MickDude circulated as 'Maida Vale Evening Session '94 Complete'. It contained the full session, including the interviews between songs, with Noel making fun of Alan McGee. All six songs also appeared across two BBC transcription discs, 'The Mix' #117 and #119.
• The Maida Vale Studios building was built in 1909 as a roller skating rink. The BBC converted it into studios in 1933–34, and the BBC Symphony Orchestra has been based there ever since.
