Oasis-Acquiesce/Good To Be Free/Talk Tonight / Paul Weller-Changing Man (The White Room 1995)

From 17th April 1995.

[@LaurenceNoonan]

All the songs played here by Oasis are B-Sides!

[@NhatLinhNguyen82]

all good songs

@@NhatLinhNguyen82 All amazing songs, (It's Good) To Be Free is one of the best Oasis songs of all time (In my opinion)

[@weet1978able]

The White Room was brilliant man, what a time that was.

[@kimboslice1569]

Tony’s Drumming is just top notch here. A bit of roughness suits the songs perfectly

[@deathkampdrone]

Totally agree with you. Tbh prefer Tony over Alan White doing the same shitty shuffle on different BPM for three albums straight. Tony is more punk, but Whites style probably worked really well in studio as the layers of guitar dubs multiplied with each album session xD

[@RollrightKnights]

Yeah Alan White with endless ghost notes. Boring AF

[@MrAndreCoutinho]

I doubt if they would have breakout without Tony, his drumming on Supersonic is what makes that song stand out.

[@buddhull]

Alan could bring Noel’s mounds of yak-fueled guitar noodling back down to Earth and make it sound middling. Tony could make their early driving rock songs sound like they simply had to be reckoned with as he forcibly pounded patterns neither too dense nor too deep; it was simply exactly what was needed to make them larger than live.

[@fatShowPony]

Agreed. People just don't get it. Even musicians. Just like Phil Rudd doesn't do much, he's got the rock swing.

[@bearmeister75]

4 of Britpop's finest songs in just over 15 minutes, all performed to perfection, live on the same show. Wow. :)

I was 10 years old but we had just moved to the States the year prior so I mostly missed their rise in the UK, was the White Room tv program on BBC or something more local, cheers everyone

[@gregorysnyder5728]

Would love to hear a version of talk tonight solely by Paul Weller. His backing vocals are ridiculously good in this!

Mate that’s the first thing I thought when I watched that. Voice like velvet, but not enough of it. More Weller!! 😇

[@beetleything1864]

we are all Weller fans but yeah he's good in this and really elevates the song !

Remember watching this live on a Friday night CH4 as 16 year old, looked forward to it all week in school, and recorded it on video tape and played it over and over again. The White Room was a great show!!

[@juansteele2923]

Alan white>>

[@garymck5181]

​@juansteele2923 White is a brilliant drummer but he's very jazzy 'rat-at-tat-tat.' Tony was proper punk 'boom-boom-boom', which suited Oasis perfectly.

Just demonstrates how amazing the singles prior to 95 were that these three tracks were B sides. All top 10 Oasis tracks imo.

[@garymck5181]

Post 95 they released songs like 'Flashbax', 'Going Nowhere', 'Let's All Make Believe', 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down' and 'The Boy With The Blues', none of which were on any studio album and all of which would've been massive hits for virtually any other band.

[@DamonNicholls]

Yep, I was in front of the telly for this.... taped it too along with all the other amazing stuff that was on back in the good ol' days.... then our kid taped over it whilst pissed. 😂

[@lives_official]

I feel like the drummers got worse during Oasis. Tony’s playing just seems to fit the songs so well on DM, Alan was good but the others just sound muddy/old and boring....not taking anything away from their talent as musicians they just don’t feel very Oasis. Liam’s voice is sounding great in these first 2 too.

[@neilsun2521]

Agree. All their songs sounded like the same song after 2000.

[@tinandgonic3927]

Alan was a beast. His brother too when he filled in on the US tour.

[@Ketis1985]

I think Tony was most suitable drummer for Oasis followed by Chris Sharrock. Tonys style was simple but songs rocked really hard when he was playing them. After they got rid of Tony they lost their balls quite a bit from live performances.

[@valley_robot]

@@Ketis1985 yeah I agree, they lost a competent drummer who fitted with the raw sound, never liked alan whites fill or skippy beats on every tune, it's like he struggled to keep it simple, prefer Tonys drumming every time

No, he set up Ocean Colour Scene first but supporting Weller gave him the experience/cash and exposure to keep OCS going until they hit the big time…I think.
