October 1, 1995 • Virgin Megastore, London, England

Setlist

Show Notes

• Oasis performed a short acoustic set at the Virgin Megastore on Oxford Street to celebrate the release of their second album, '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?'.
• The launch party began on the evening of October 1, 1995, and continued into the early hours of October 2. The band played shortly after midnight, as the album officially went on sale.
• Liam, Noel and Alan performed 'Live Forever', 'Wonderwall', 'Cast No Shadow' and 'Slide Away'. Liam struggled with some of the lyrics, reportedly losing a £50 bet with Noel that he would get them right. The session ended abruptly when 'Rockin' Chair' broke down after less than a minute and Liam walked off stage following an argument with Noel.
• The performance was filmed, and footage was rediscovered in television news archives around 20 years later.
• A few weeks earlier, Blur had marked the release of their album 'The Great Escape' with a set at the HMV store on the same street.
• Oasis had previously performed at the same Virgin Megastore on August 30, 1994, to promote their debut album 'Definitely Maybe'.
• The Virgin Megastore originally opened at 14-16 Oxford Street in 1979 and later expanded into neighbouring premises. The building formerly housed the Oxford Music Hall and Lyons Corner House, and was later occupied by Zavvi before becoming a Primark store.
