Oasis - Live @ The Whisky-A-Go-Go 1994 (Meth Show) [Full Concert HD]

Thanks to the guy who found the tapes and made them public for everyone to see. Uploading here for an even wider spread.
The boys were on crystal meth during this show and is noted as one of if not their worst concert of all time (I believe by Noel specifically?).

[@jackoplays4758]

Amphetamine's generally increase executive function. The 'high' comes from an increased production of phenethylamine in the dorsal stratum. Phenethylamine is a trace amine that serves as a neuromodulator of behaviour, memory, planning, motivation, and cognitive endurance. Albeit the beneficial effects of amphetamine dose dependent (with lower doses of base amphetamine, not meth, producing the most optimal effects on cognition) I'm not surprised that Liam could still sing well on meth

Instead of doing a pinkie bump as recommended, they started cutting out rails like it was cocaine!

It was cool seeing Blur show up at the gig as well. They wore these great light green canvas jackets with their Blur logo stitched on the back in dark green. I was wearing a black leather jacket that I purchased at the Duffer of St George in London a year earlier and was almost tempted to ask Damon if he wanted to trade but decided my jacket was cooler. Good Times.

thanks for uploading a better quality version of this show. i was at this show. definitely lifechanging for me. made me a diehard Oasis fan. I actually saw this original vhs master tape at one point placed on top of the phone booth outside the venue by their then road manager Maggie, heheh. this was shot offcially by the Whiskey crew that the artist could have for $50 at the time =)

When Noel talks about the gig being terrible it's definitely from his perspective, both as a perfectionist band-leader and from being out of his mind on meth. He wasn't in the audience, he was on stage, probably with his skin crawling and hearing every note his brother sings as nails on a chalkboard.

Right! Thats exactly the situation here, the crowd wouldn't detect it (for the most part imo)

The Brian Jonestown Massacre opened the show for them. They also supplied the " substance" that Oasis was on. (Joel Gion "Mr Tambourine Man" has written about it, in the past. He has a "Patreon" page with the written history of BJM. Very interesting for any music fan.
