...There and Then is a live concert film by the British rock band Oasis, released in 1996, that captures footage from three performances during the UK leg of their (What's the Story) Morning Glory? world tour in 1995 and 1996.[1] The video features the band playing to massive crowds at Earls Court in London on November 4 and 5, 1995, and at Maine Road in Manchester on April 28, 1996, highlighting their peak popularity with hits from their breakthrough albums Definitely Maybe and (What's the Story) Morning Glory?.[2] Directed by Dick Carruthers, the 85-minute production intersperses high-energy concert sequences with behind-the-scenes interviews and candid moments of the Gallagher brothers and band members, offering insight into Oasis's dynamic and often tumultuous touring experience.[3] Originally issued on VHS and later re-released on DVD and for streaming, it includes covers like Slade's "Cum On Feel the Noize" and The Beatles' "I Am the Walrus," underscoring the band's Britpop influences and raw live energy.[4]
The track listing above reflects the primary video content, excluding bonus promo videos and additional live clips from other dates included in some editions.[2]
No further certifications or updates have been issued for the release post-2002 as of November 2025.[47]
Background
Tour context
The release of Oasis's second studio album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, on October 2, 1995, by Creation Records marked a pivotal moment in the band's career, propelling them from domestic success to international prominence. Produced by Owen Morris and Noel Gallagher, the album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and sold 268,554 copies in its first week alone, remaining at the top for the remainder of 1995.[5] This rapid commercial breakthrough, fueled by hits like "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger," generated immense demand for live performances, directly scaling up the accompanying world tour to arena and stadium levels across multiple continents.[6] The resulting (What's the Story) Morning Glory? Tour commenced in late 1995 with initial UK dates but expanded significantly in 1996, beginning its North American leg on February 3 in Rosemont, Illinois, before progressing through the US and Canada with over 20 shows in major venues. Returning to Europe and culminating in a massive UK summer run, the itinerary featured headline slots at iconic sites like Manchester's Maine Road stadium in April—drawing 84,000 fans over two nights—and Loch Lomond in Scotland, where 80,000 tickets sold out rapidly. The tour's UK leg alone saw 330,000 tickets for summer stadium shows sell out in under nine hours, underscoring the band's explosive popularity, with total worldwide attendance exceeding 2 million across approximately 100 dates.[7][8] Amid the height of the Britpop movement in 1995–1996, the tour served as a key promotional vehicle that cemented Oasis's status as global rock icons, amplified by the chart battle with Blur and the viral success of singles "Wonderwall" (released October 30, 1995, reaching number two in the UK) and "Don't Look Back in Anger" (February 19, 1996, hitting number one). This period was characterized by intense media scrutiny, with outlets fixating on the band's working-class bravado and the Gallagher brothers' volatile dynamic, including onstage altercations and Noel's temporary walkout during the US leg in September 1996 due to escalating tensions with Liam. The frenzy peaked at Knebworth House in August 1996, where 250,000 fans attended over two nights—despite 2.5 million applications—symbolizing Oasis's cultural dominance while highlighting the internal strains that nearly derailed the outing.[6][8][7][9]Concert selections
The ...There and Then video incorporates footage from three pivotal Oasis concerts during their 1995–1996 (What's the Story) Morning Glory? Tour, selected for their representation of the band's rising dominance in the Britpop era.[4] The Earls Court performances on 4 and 5 November 1995 captured the raw intensity of the early UK arena leg, shortly after the release of (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, drawing approximately 20,000 fans per night to the London venue and highlighting Oasis's instinctive command of large indoor crowds.[10] These shows exemplified the band's explosive energy and vocal prowess at a time when they were transitioning from club venues to major arenas, with Liam Gallagher's stage presence often described as unparalleled.[10] Filming at Maine Road Stadium in Manchester on 28 April 1996—the second of two nights there—marked a homecoming triumph for the Gallagher brothers, lifelong Manchester City supporters, at the club's historic ground, with around 40,000 attendees witnessing their first stadium headline slot.[11][12] The emotional weight of performing in their hometown amplified the set's fervor, blending anthemic hits with personal resonance and underscoring Oasis's deep ties to Manchester's cultural landscape.[12] These concerts were chosen to illustrate the tour's progression—from the arena-driven momentum of late 1995, through the stadium homecoming of spring 1996—demonstrating Oasis's evolving performance style and setlist refinements across phases of their breakthrough era.[4][13]Production
Filming process
The footage for ...There and Then was captured during three shows on Oasis's (What's the Story) Morning Glory? tour in 1995 and 1996, specifically the two nights at Earls Court in London on 4 and 5 November 1995, and the show at Maine Road in Manchester on 28 April 1996.[14][15] At Earls Court, the band performed to sold-out indoor crowds of approximately 20,000 each night, marking some of the largest indoor rock shows in Europe at the time. The production team, led by directors Dick Carruthers and Mark Szaszy, focused on documenting the band's high-energy delivery and audience interaction in these arena settings.[1] Additional filming took place at Maine Road Stadium in Manchester on 28 April 1996, Oasis's homecoming headline show at the former Manchester City FC ground, attended by around 40,000 fans and notable for its emotional significance to the band from the city.[14][16] The setup included multiple camera positions to capture both stage action and the passionate local crowd response, emphasizing the chaotic and communal vibe of the performance.[1] The approach prioritized preserving the raw, unpolished intensity of Oasis's live shows, blending professional stage coverage with on-site fan perspectives to reflect the era's cultural frenzy.[17]Post-production
Following the filming of Oasis's performances at Earls Court in November 1995 and Maine Road in April 1996, the footage was compiled and edited during the summer of 1996 to form a cohesive 85-minute program, intercutting sequences from the three shows to capture the energy of the band's (What's the Story) Morning Glory? tour.[18][19][20] The audio mixing, handled by producer Owen Morris, emphasized live multi-track recordings from the shows with minimal overdubs to retain the raw authenticity of the performances; the bonus audio track "Champagne Supernova" features John Squire's guest guitar solo isolated from the multi-track captured at Knebworth on 11 August 1996.[21][22] Visual effects and transitions were kept straightforward, relying on simple fades and interspersed crowd shots to seamlessly blend material from the different venues while avoiding excessive post-production that could compromise the live feel.[1] The original production was shot on 16mm film to suit the VHS format, prioritizing a cinematic quality suitable for home video release; subsequent DVD editions in 2001 featured upscaled resolution for improved clarity, though without native high-definition source material.[23][24]Release
Initial formats
The initial release of ...There and Then took place on VHS in the UK on 14 October 1996 through Sony Music Video (SMV Enterprises), with a recommended retail price of £19.99. Early editions of this VHS included a bonus audio CD featuring select live tracks from the performances.[25] The VHS format was distributed in PAL for the UK and European markets, capturing the high-energy concerts at Maine Road and Earls Court in stereo audio. The marketing strategy capitalized on Oasis's surging popularity during their (What's the Story) Morning Glory? tour era, with promotions heavily featured in music press such as NME and Melody Maker, as well as targeted MTV airings to amplify hype around the band's live prowess. Initial sales were bolstered by the group's peak fame, positioning the release as a key artifact of their 1990s dominance.[25] A DVD edition followed on 12 November 1997, marking Oasis's first foray into the format and including chapter stops for navigation, along with options for stereo and Dolby surround sound audio. This version maintained the core footage while leveraging emerging DVD technology for enhanced home viewing.[25] While the primary focus was on the UK and Europe, regional variations existed, with a US VHS release in 1996 under Epic Music Video and the DVD following in 2001.[25]Reissues and editions
The 2001 DVD re-release of ...There and Then was issued on 15 October 2001 by Sony Music Video, featuring the original concert footage alongside newly added bonus content, including promotional videos for "Roll with It" and "Acquiesce".[26] This edition also incorporated Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. By the 2010s, the video became available for digital streaming on platforms such as Amazon Prime Video and YouTube, expanding accessibility beyond physical media.[3][27] As of 2025, no official Blu-ray edition has been released, with the content remaining primarily in standard-definition DVD and digital formats. Following the 2001 reissue, no major updates or new physical editions of ...There and Then have been produced by 2025. However, the announcement of Oasis's 2025 reunion tour in 2024 has renewed interest in the band's archival live releases, including this concert film from their 1990s peak.[28]Content
Video track listing
The ...There and Then video compiles footage from Oasis's performances at Earls Court in London (November 4 and 5, 1995) and Maine Road in Manchester (April 28, 1996) into an 18-track setlist edited to evoke a unified live concert experience lasting approximately 85 minutes.[1][2] Specific tracks alternate between venues for seamless flow, beginning with selections from Maine Road and incorporating high-energy sequences from Earls Court.[2] The setlist features core tracks from the band's (What's the Story) Morning Glory? album alongside earlier material, culminating in cover songs that highlight Oasis's influences: the Beatles' "I Am the Walrus" performed at the second Earls Court show and Slade's "Cum On Feel the Noize" from Maine Road.[2] "Champagne Supernova" appears from the November 4 Earls Court performance, showcasing the band's expansive live arrangements.[2]| No. | Title | Venue | Notes |

Bonus audio CD
The bonus audio CD bundled with early physical releases of ...There and Then featured three live tracks captured during Oasis's 1995–1996 tour, offering fans additional audio content beyond the video performances.[21] The CD totaled 17 minutes and 27 seconds in length and was pressed as a promotional 3-inch mini-CD, marked "not for resale."[29] The track listing consisted of "Wonderwall" (4:21, recorded at Earls Court, London, on 4 November 1995), "Cigarettes & Alcohol" (4:41, recorded at Maine Road, Manchester, on 28 April 1996), and "Champagne Supernova" (8:25, recorded at Knebworth Park, Stevenage, on 11 August 1996).[29] These recordings were derived from soundboard captures of the concerts, preserving the high-fidelity essence of the live shows without the visual element.[29] Exclusively included with the initial UK VHS edition released in October 1996 by Sony Music Video, the CD was not featured in the 1998 DVD version or any subsequent reissues and editions.[21] Its inclusion aimed to add value for collectors and fans by extending the tour experience with standout live renditions from key venues, complementing the main video's setlist selections.[30]Personnel
Band members
The core Oasis lineup featured on ...There and Then consisted of Liam Gallagher on lead vocals, Noel Gallagher on lead guitar and backing vocals, Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs on rhythm guitar, Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan on bass guitar, and Alan White on drums for the performances captured in the video.[31][32] This configuration represented the band's standard touring setup during the 1995–1996 period supporting (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, with footage drawn from concerts at Earls Court in November 1995 and Maine Road in April 1996.[1]Guest and crew contributors
The video release features a special guest appearance by guitarist John Squire of The Stone Roses, who joined Oasis onstage for lead guitar duties on "Champagne Supernova" during their concert at Maine Road stadium in Manchester on 28 April 1996; this collaboration was unique to that show and no additional musicians are noted elsewhere in the footage. The production was directed by Dick Carruthers and Mark Szaszy.[1] Film producer Julian Ludlow oversaw the project, with sound mixed by Owen Morris.[2]Reception and legacy
Critical response
Upon its 1996 release, ...There and Then received praise for effectively capturing Oasis's raw charisma and the electric energy of their audiences during the peak of their (What's the Story) Morning Glory? tour. The Hartford Courant highlighted how the band's songs achieved greater grandeur through massive fan participation at venues like Maine Road in Manchester and Earls Court in London, emphasizing the communal intensity of the performances.[33] Similarly, the compilation of footage from multiple shows was lauded for preserving the essence of Oasis's live shows at the height of Britpop.[34] Critics also pointed out some shortcomings in the production and presentation. The Hartford Courant noted that the thick Manchester accents in interview segments made dialogue difficult to follow for non-UK audiences.[33] A later technical assessment of the DVD reissue criticized the editing for featuring overly brief interview clips that felt poorly integrated into the concert footage, alongside mediocre video quality marred by aliasing and pixelization, and compressed audio that lacked dynamic range.[35] These elements were seen as limiting the video's polish, particularly in its reliance on hit-driven setlists without exploring lesser-known tracks. In retrospective views from the 2010s onward, the video has been regarded as a vital document of Oasis's creative and commercial zenith. Alan McGee, Oasis's former manager, described the included Maine Road and Earls Court performances in a 2009 Guardian piece as a "religious spectacle" and "genius show" that encapsulated the band's storming hedonism and pop culture dominance.[10] Coverage surrounding the band's 2024 reunion announcement further elevated its status, with NME recommending it in 2025 as essential viewing ahead of the comeback tour for its portrayal of Oasis ascending to global stardom through "beautifully boozy gigs."[36] There is no aggregate score equivalent to Metacritic for the original VHS release, but contemporary and later reviews in UK music press and outlets generally awarded it around 4 out of 5 stars, reflecting broad approval for its artistic merits despite technical flaws.[33][35]Commercial performance
Upon its release in October 1996, ...There and Then achieved immediate commercial success, debuting at number one on the music video chart while outselling competitors by a ratio of 18 to one. This strong initial performance was further propelled by strategic tie-ins with Oasis's ongoing tour merchandise, leveraging the band's explosive popularity at the peak of the Britpop era.[37] The video's long-term impact solidified Oasis's dominance in the music video catalog sector, becoming a cornerstone of their visual media output. By 2025, total worldwide sales stood at 2,710,000 units, supported by its certification as an 8x Platinum release in the UK, reflecting shipments of at least 400,000 copies there alone.[38] Among fans, ...There and Then holds iconic status for preserving essential footage from Oasis's landmark 1995–96 tour shows at venues like Maine Road and Earls Court, capturing the raw intensity of their live performances during a defining period. Its enduring appeal was evident in a surge of streams following the 2024 Oasis reunion announcement, with the band's overall global Spotify streams rising over 160% in the days immediately after, extending to live content now accessible on digital platforms.[39] In the broader market, ...There and Then navigated competition from fellow Britpop acts' live releases, such as Blur's Live at the Budokan earlier that year, standing out amid the Oasis-Blur rivalry through its timely capture of the band's arena-filling momentum.Charts
Video chart positions
The video release of ...There and Then achieved significant success on music video charts worldwide. In the United Kingdom, it topped the Official Charts Company's Music Video Chart for three weeks in late 1996, spending a total of 20 weeks on the chart.[40][41][42] The release also performed strongly in other regions, reaching number 7 on the ARIA charts in Australia.Audio chart positions
The bonus audio CD included with the "...There and Then" video release did not chart independently on the UK Albums Chart, although its bundling with the VHS edition contributed to the package's overall commercial performance in the video market.[43] Data on major international charting for the audio CD remains limited, with no significant standalone entries reported across key markets. Occasional references appear in broader Oasis compilations, but the bonus tracks themselves did not achieve prominent positions at the time of release.[43] The audio content has gained indirect visibility through later fan compilations and reissues, where individual tracks like the live "Acquiesce" (from the Maine Road performance) have charted via digital downloads and streams. For instance, following Oasis' 2025 reunion announcement and tour, "Acquiesce" peaked at number 17 on the UK Singles Chart, driven largely by streaming resurgence.[44]Certifications
