Oasis have released a live clip from the first show of their Australian tour.
Oasis took to the stage at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium last Friday (October 31st), where they performed “D’You Know What I Mean?” as part of their set.
That track performance has now been shared for those not lucky enough to be at the show. Watch below.
Originally released in 1997 as a single from their third album Be Here Now, the track became Oasis’ third UK No. 1 single, also topping charts across Europe.
Rolling Stone AU/NZ was at Oasis’ first Australian tour show, highly praising the band’s performance at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium.
“The Oasis we see tonight isn’t the band of Knebworth 1996, when they were creating their legend – and their notoriety – in real-time. If you couldn’t be there, perhaps the next best thing is to be here now, amongst the generations who’ve kept their music alive,” we wrote.
In an exclusive interview with us, Travis frontman Fran Healy, whose band regularly toured with Oasis during their heyday, commended the Gallagher brothers.

“I met Noel in New York and I met the rest of them in New York as well. I didn’t see Bonehead until they played in LA a few days later,” Healy recalled, adding that they feel “no pressure.”
“Like, of course not. I mean, there is no better position to be in than a band who has, like, 18 massive songs or 20 massive songs. And they could literally do it with their hands tied behind their back… It’s like being on the best holiday ever. And they’ve got their families on the road, and they’re just having a ball.”
