March 8, 1995 • The Academy, New York, NY, USA

Setlist

Show Notes

• Earlier that day, Oasis recorded their US television debut on the Late Show with David Letterman.
• In a review for Brazil's Folha de S.Paulo (March 14, 1995), New York-based journalist Daniela Rocha described a packed Academy, Liam repeatedly complaining about the sound and sitting bored in front of the drum kit between songs, while Noel held the show together. Tony McCarroll's performance was singled out as a highlight.
• At one point, someone in the crowd shouted 'Entertain us!', after which Liam just stood still and stared at the audience without singing.
• According to the New York nightlife blog The Earl Grey, Mark Gardener of Ride and actress Parker Posey were among the crowd. John McEnroe was also present at the after-party.
• The Academy occupied the former Apollo Theatre on 42nd Street, which had been turned into a concert venue in the 1980s.
• The building was demolished in 1996. Some of its architectural features, including the proscenium arch, were saved and later built into the new Ford Center for the Performing Arts, now the Lyric Theatre, which opened in December 1997.
