Setlist

Show Notes

• Recorded at BBC Elstree Centre, Borehamwood
• First Broadcast: February 22, 1996 (BBC One), episode #1669
• Presented by Lisa I'Anson. The episode also featured Blur performing 'Stereotypes'.
• Before the performance, Noel jokingly introduced Oasis as the "Best band in the world... and it's not Blur!"
• Mimed performances of 'Don't Look Back in Anger', released three days earlier, and the B-side 'Cum On Feel the Noize', a cover of Slade's 1973 hit. Oasis were reportedly only the fourth band to perform two songs in the same edition of Top of the Pops, after The Beatles, the Ramones and The Jam.
• During 'Don't Look Back in Anger', Noel mimed the lead vocals and played his Union Jack Epiphone guitar, while Liam pretended to play the piano, without looking too happy about it.
• 'Don't Look Back in Anger' was shown again on March 21, 1996 (episode #1673), in an episode presented by Steve Lamacq and Jo Whiley, which also included an archive performance of 'Rock 'n' Roll Star' from 1994. The performance was later shown on BBC Four and made available on BBC iPlayer in 2024.
• Top of the Pops was produced in Studio C at BBC Elstree Centre between 1991 and 2001. The studio featured four performance stages nicknamed John, Paul, George and Ringo.
