April 20, 1995 • Le Bataclan, Paris, France

Setlist

Show Notes

• The Verve were the support act.
• According to Tony McCarroll's autobiography 'Oasis: The Truth', Noel unexpectedly called for an encore and sent him back onstage alone to begin 'Supersonic'. Tony recalled playing the drum intro for three minutes before the rest of the band joined him. An additional encore of 'Supersonic' is also reportedly mentioned in Paolo Hewitt's 'Getting High'. However, there is no trace of it on any known audio or video recordings, so whether it actually happened remains a mystery.
• After the show, Liam and Tony were said to have had a fight. In a 1999 interview, Tony denied that it ever happened. He claimed that when Oasis manager Marcus Russell told him about a press release announcing his departure, he asked for it to sound "sort of cool", and the Paris story was the result. According to Tony, the real reason was that Noel wanted him out. He played one more concert with Oasis two days later at Sheffield Arena.
• There are several audience recordings, including a complete DAT source. Audience-shot footage also exists, although some circulating versions have missing or replaced audio sections.
• The Bataclan at 50 Boulevard Voltaire was built in 1864 and opened in 1865 as the Grand Café Chinois-Théâtre Ba-ta-clan. Designed by architect Charles Duval, it took its name from an operetta by Jacques Offenbach.
• Originally a café-concert and music hall, the building later became a cinema before returning to live music. Its distinctive façade and roof were listed as historic monuments in 1991.
• Oasis returned to the Bataclan on March 21, 2000 and November 10, 2008.
