Oasis - Live in Leipzig (3rd June 2000)

Oasis
Location: Leipzig, Germany
Venue: Haus Aussensse
Date: 3rd June 2000
Source: Audience Recording
Now in Germany and still soldiering on without Noel, Oasis play their first ever show in Leipzig, and the venue is one of the smallest on the entire European Leg, with the capacity only at 3,600. However, given Noel’s absence it would be interesting to know if people did walk out of the venues once they realised he wasn’t there. It wouldn’t be a surprise if that was the case, particularly in the bigger venues like the Filaforum in Milan or the Stadthalle in Vienna (which I believe wasn’t near full at all). Despite the circumstances the band put on another fine performance as usual, and yeah even though the lack of backing vocals in Acquiesce is still awkward, the rest of the songs aren’t really that negatively affected in my opinion. Perhaps this is down to the tape however, which does sound like it was recorded quite far back in the venue (most of Liam’s speech takes a few tries to decipher). I’d imagine they didn’t come back to this venue due to the echoey acoustics, which I wouldn’t be surprised about. Also unusual is the set only comprises of 13 songs. For some reason or another for about a fortnight, Champagne Supernova was once again taken out of the set. Liam struggled on it at Vienna, but perhaps that’s just one of many reasons on why it isn’t here. Despite it’s absence, the song was absent for the entirety of the North American Tour, and it didn’t seem to be missed then. Liam sounds improved over Vienna somehow, though his voice is still heading towards a more gruff and deep sound. A short one all things considered, but an ok performance along with it.

Why not swap Acquiesce for a song that doesn’t require Noel? This band really puzzles me sometimes.

[@KeijiHereMan]

It was as questionable as lowering the key of Some Might Say and DYKWIM for the HC tour, yet not doing the same for Cigs and Alc, RnR stars, and many 90s songs for live performances from that tour onward. Could've saved Liam's voice from being overworked when it got deeper and he lost his range.

@@KeijiHereMan Absolutely spot on. They should have packed the D standard guitars for this tour

[@JelleKramerSongs]

To make a statement towards Noel and the fans probably… if Liam left the band for a whole tour overseas and then rejoined for the sold-out Wembley shows, people would have been furious. But somehow everybody seems to be very understanding when it comes to Noel Gallagher’s miserable ego.

@@badgasaurus4211 RnR star and Some Might Say shoulda been the first two songs to get that treatment on this tour (the latter was dropped instead). Then Cigs&Alc, Morning Glory, Slide Away (never know why Liam still sing it in the original key till this day, when Noel, who seems to have a higher voice, has already lower it by a semitone since '06). As a fan, Oasis is a strong live band for me, but sometimes those lads leave a lot to be questioned.

@@badgasaurus4211 I actually think them not dropping the key ain't just due to Liam's stubborness, but also due to Noel's. It seems that later in to his career (especially after HC) Noel's been getting less and less interested in doing "harder" chord shapes. Dropping the key sometimes requires Noel to play completely different shapes (like the HC tour version of Some Might Say), which didn't seem like something he would like to do.

Oasis without noel is nothing. Very clear why they didnt kept going as oasis after he left for good in 09'
