Anyone know who Tony Donaldson was? He played Mini Moog and Mellotron on Gas Panic. Not heard of him before or since. To be honest I don’t think I’ve ever heard the minimoog or mellotron on gas panic, must be buried in the mix or I’m missing it. I’ll have a listen with headphones Edit: Yes I can hear the Minimoog and mellotron. I’d just forgotten all about it A minimoog www.moogmusic.com/products/minimoog-model-d

As a side-note, and I hate to bring negativity to a wonderful thread, but I fucking hate those glossy photoshoots. They look like stock photos of a shit band from California called "Blowfish", or something. Haha fair point. I’ve never really liked the band photo with instruments they did for the summer gig promo posters. I’ll stop there, let’s keep it positive please! 😀

Inspiration for the new oasis logo came from one of Gem’s guitar pedals. Gem, being an artist, drew the logo out so they could use it. Do you know which guitar pedal is it? (by the way, this is becoming one of the most interesting threads on L4E in recent times) I’ve seen it once and not been able to find it again, will keep looking. Diego Actis on their YouTube page has a close up photo of Noel’s pedal board for the Jools Holland performance which includes these pedals. SIB Echodrive Pedal Hughes and Kettner rotosphere Boss Delay DD-6 Way Huge Aqua Puss Mk2 Boss line selector Tube Screamer TS-9 Dunlop cry baby 535Q I believe Gem was using some of the same pedals, maybe: Line 6 Delay DL4 Electro-Harmonix Pog Polyphonic Octave Generator I’m enjoying this thread too, I’d just like to post loads of photos but it appears to be a complicated process. Perhaps when we feel we’ve covered everything on this one I’ll make a Heathen Chemistry Era 02-03 positivity tread, although some people may find this controversial! 😀

Must have been weird as fuck seeing those photos at the time. They’re about as far away from Be Here Now as oasis could get. The change was drastic indeed. It felt very "american" and it was in the vein of what was going on at the time. Its probably the first album where they did not impose their identity but went with the trend. Removeing the englishness. Or the Manchesterness. Although i really love the album cover and GLIO cover. The rest (bsides covers) felt a bit plastic. Got Let It Out was a very english video, but the rest of the videos again felt very US oriented. And its crazy because their photo shoot at the time were all very bright and sunny, yet the record isn't at all. On the album cover itself if i remember well the photographer said it was a collage of 24 photo taken 1 hour apart. So it start with day rising on the left and night of the right. Pretty cool. Yes I get what you’re saying, the artwork and videos all had a very different feel to them than what they did in the past. The WFL video was filmed in Death Valley USA and SMC in Vancouver Canada. I think sometimes these things work sometimes they don’t, the WFL video visually is brilliant but I’m not so sure about SMC and WDIAGW. Love the GLIO video, great song and the band look great. The SOTSOG artwork looks great but I just feel the image of the New York skyline has nothing to do with the band at all. Like the rest of the artwork around that time, visually looks nice but not sure what it’s got to do with the band.

So those blurry dots on the roof of the building are the band? The original concept was for it to be the band but when Bonehead and Guigs left they changed it to children playing football instead

This is brilliant some photos at last! I believe these photos were taken in Los Angeles in December 1999. Simon Halfon mentions them in his interview on the oasis podcast at 40:28 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-oasis-podcast/id1224373139?i=1000469220232I’m not overly sure how to put photos in posts, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t not sure why. More photos please from this era everyone!

Art direction by Simon Halfon Photography by Andrew MacPherson The album's artwork features the photo of the Manhattan skyline taken from the rooftop of 500 Fifth Avenue (5th Ave/W 42nd St). Some famous buildings are visible including the Empire State Building in the foreground and the former World Trade Center in the background. To create the cover photo, the photographer captured the same frame every half an hour in 18 hours during the whole day's course; the photos were digitally composited into the final picture.

Anyone posted this yet? Got to say I'd dismissed 'One Way Road' as being very average until I heard Weller's cover of the song. I hadn't really appreciated it until then. I really like the lead guitar and vibe of the original but I think Weller's version is bolder and the chorus feels a little less flat. Good song. The beginning of the Oasis version of One Way Road sounds like Noel is using the Hughes and Kettner rotosphere pedal to get the Leslie speaker effect. He used the same pedal on Gas Panic and WFL just on different settings. The only thing I’d add is if Weller thinks it’s a good song and wants to cover it then it must be a good song!

Top of the pops (TOTP) performances Go Let It Out Who Feels Love Sunday Morning Call The YouTube video says was broadcast on 14th July 2000. The dates on the TOTP archive site show the Studio performances of Sunday morning call (full band or acoustic) were broadcast on 29th May, 30th June and 14th July totparchive.co.uk/artist.php?id=3012 This full band performance looks like it was recorded at the same time as the Sunday morning call acoustic version with Noel, Gem and Zeb Jamison which oasis-live.net says was broadcast on 22nd May 2000. I would imagine it was recorded between 9th and 16th May 2000, after they returned from the American leg of the tour and went back out for dates in Europe. It certainly couldn’t have been recorded in the days before the 22nd as Liam and Noel had the big fight in Barcelona on 20th May 2000. It says it was recorded in Glasgow, Scotland but IIRC the main show was broadcast in Glasgow possibly in an arena sized venue and the oasis bit was pre recorded, it wasn’t from the same show in Glasgow. On this full band performance of Sunday Morning Call the band were using different instruments that were not used on the SOTSOG tour, I’m guessing their tour instruments were being transported across Europe for the next set of gigs. It looks like Andy playing the Rickenbacker bass from the GLIO video, Noel is playing his Red ES-355 which was unusual at the time, he didn’t use it regularly until 2002 and Gem playing a Gibson SG Custom from the WDIAGW video. Noel played this SG during the first night at Maine Road 1996 to play Cum On Feel the Noize (Info provided by carlober) I’m no drummer but Alan is using a different kit to the one he used on the tour.

What a shame that the Epiphone Sheraton used for the big gigs in summer 1996 and the BHN tour has gone missing. A piece of history. Paul McCartney’s Hofner bass guitar that was lost around 1970 has been found and returned to him so it might be possible to find it Paul McCartney reunited with guitar stolen 51 years ago www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68312355Trace the bass? Track the Axe! There’s your headline for the campaign!

Noels thoughts on SOTSOG in an interview in 2005. Planet Rock Profiles 2005-08-31. Noel lists the better songs on the album, love how Andy adds Roll it Over, he obviously thinks highly of the songs from that era.
Noel’s thoughts on the album in 2010 in an interview for the release of Time Flies.

thought I had clicked on the awkwards pictures thread (band photoshoot, oh fuck) There was no real thought behind posting the photo. I was just trying to upload a photo into a post, I hadn’t done it before, not a straightforward process. I think the photo looking down on the band with their instruments looks a bit odd. I believe the photo was taken by Jill Furmanovsky, whose photos are normally of the highest quality. I get why they did it, to show who the new members were. The photo was used to promote the stadium shows in summer 2000, and to be fair it worked as the shows sold out in around an hour.

That uber-chill Later... version is one of my favorite TV performances ever. I think this performance and the acoustic radio sessions of SMC and WFL really showed how Noel’s vocal had developed, certainly stronger with more depth to it that before.

Where Did It All Go Wrong There are a few different versions of this song which all work well and show it’s quality. Demo version possibly recorded at Supernova Heights while Noel was working with Paul Strangeboy Stacey in 1998. Semi Acoustic version released as part of a two track US promo Version recorded for the Later with Jools Holland Show with just Noel, Gem and Mike Rowe on piano. A great vocal by Noel 2000-04-10 The Tonight Show with Jay Leno Shortened for the TV appearance and the pace is quicker too. vk.com/video-33722_168971083Hopefully someone can capture it before it is removed

2000-02-01 MTV Europe Acoustic set with Noel, Gem, Alan and Mike Rowe. Who Feels Love and Sunday Morning Call
Never understood how Gem allowed someone to attach a camera to his guitar with black gaffer tape! I believe he is playing a vintage Epiphone Frontier 110N. Mike Rowe is using the Novation Bass Station for WFL but it appears to be attached to a effects pedal unit, you can see it at 0:03.
Interview with Zane Lowe believed to be from the same session
Another interview from the same session
