Oasis - Columbia (Live at Chicago Metro 1994)

[@maxglycine1991]

Best version of Columbia out there.....

[@oasisnole]

This crowd in Chicago in ‘94 never realized this was the best performance EVER!

[@gazzastriptease4986]

oasisnole this crowd in Chicago never knew they were 2 foot away from what would be one of the best bands in the world

[@STETTRACE]

They knew

[@GT-bz9nc]

Absolutely

[@GT-bz9nc]

@@STETTRACE agree - one of the best American crowds for an Oasis gig. They actually moved to the sonic sound that Oasis delivered, compared to later tours where many up front fans were stood like fence posts.

[@johnmccaughey2722]

This gig is amazing.

[@HBclique]

McCarroll laying it down back there!! Drums sound 🔥🔥

[@stevogeezer]

nice groove by Tony MaC.....spot on

[@casperoomen9111]

it's the groove man made me fall in love with this song on definately maybe

[@togetherwestand6214]

I remember when they went to the states and Noel was like "why is every American band banging on about pain hurt and killing yourself. We just rocked up, plugged in got wasted and sung about rock an roll"...after they lost the drummer they were never the same. Tony's groove was epic

[@EdSal76]

I agree that Tony gave the sound a real Oasis vibe.

[@davidryan2874]

The best line up, it maybe simple drumming but perfect for this album

[@tl46]

just heard this song for the first time yesterday. i am obsessed with it.

Seek out slide away as well, it’s known that anybody who loves Columbia equally love slide away, you’re welcome

I agree Colombia and slide away are my favourite tunes and this gig is incredible

[@kedro2152]

Can’t hear nothing wrong with the drums Noel ! 🥁

[@WhiteWolf--]

Wow, you can really notice the difference Bonehead made to the overall sound, holy shit. The Gem versions have him just kinda casually strumming the chords, while here you can see Bonehead relentlessly attacking the rhythm part which totally changes the dynamic of the song. Also, Tony is mega here and perfect, this is all just sooooo good lol

[@casperoomen9111]

It's incredible!!! Bonehad was so imprtant to oasis's heavy sound

[@Jeg08.]

was coming here to say this, God I hope bonehead knows how much of an impact he made.

[@David-x4x9n]

Yeah,this is up there with the best gigs in my opinion, 1994 ,1995 was the best sound and line up ,!!!

[@pearcefitzpatrickodonovan480]

He was sick

[@davidhananel3179]

Fully agree. I saw them in Boston during the same tour (a few days before or after this show I guess),and while I saw Oasis again afterwards, that first tour was when they were at their peak. A big part of it was because they played like a band. And yes, Bonehead, Tony and Guigsy were all fantastic live - not just Liam and Noel.

Pure raw oasis. Best tune and best footage by a country mile

[@brianknollenberg]

I’ve watched this dozens of times. Was a real treat to see them multiple times in the 90’s before it all fell apart.

[@BlueSky...]

The simple driving bass and drums parts really allow the guitars to stand out.

[@David-x4x9n]

Love this version of Colombia ,sounds fucking massive ,this gig was amazing ,can't beat this sound them days !!!!!

[@winfriedsplinter]

I saw them play Columbia at the old Sleep Inn / Hotel Arena in Amsterdam in 1994. Amazing. In a small downstairs room with about 200 visitors. On some Oasis fan sites this performance is mistakenly placed at the Amsterdam Arena, with 45.000 spectators. Very funny because that new Ajax stadium was only ready in 1996...

[@patrickfontaine6281]

Even if Noel had only just written this one song I would still consider him a rock god, in the Pantheon of Rock gods.

[@svetluska1994]

But he didn't....

[@stevens5541]

He stole this song

[@Breeze1]

@@stevens5541 who did he steal it from

[@doctorrobert1339]

The funny thing is that Columbia was a jam that the entire band wrote before Noel joined, and Noel contributed (or stole) some parts for the song and then took full credit for it when in reality the whole band should've been credited.

[@KyTaundry]

According to Tony McCarrol's book (which I've recently re-read and totally recommend to any Oasis fan!), the verse lyrics came from Liam, the chorus came from Chris Griffith's of Liverpool band The Real People, who's studio Oasis were using to record their first demo cassette. They owe a fuckin lot to that band. Noel ripped them off blind.

when they reunite will they sound like this?

[@Craicfox161]

yes

[@jackcapell2701]

No

[@rlfky]

Idk why Noel fired tony

[@WhiteWolf--]

Apparently its because when Noel started writing/recording WTSMG, he was moving in a more somber and intricate direction with the tunes as opposed to the straight forward onslaught of the first album, and didn't think Tony had the chops to do what he wanted. Tbf Tony was the perfect drummer for Def Maybe, but in all reality wouldn't be able to drum the new songs Noel was writing. Since Noel was the only song writer and main creative force of the band at that point, it was his call. It sucks but it is what it is. Tony was a mega drummer for those early tunes and this video proves it!

[@SIRRUBADUBDUB]

Bonehead playing style - just looks right - amazing wash of sound

[@CalinGilea]

The force of the rhythm guitar is amazing 🤩 The sound is full and entirely fills out the melody. He gets everything from his instrument.

When the songs were great. For me this was Oasis. I thought Definitely Maybe was a great album, I must be in the minority in thinking that Morning Glory was awful apart from the last two tunes.
