2. Talk Tonight… A Riot In Newcastle

Jo and Steve look at Oasis' live reputation, where an Oasis gig would either be biblical or diabolical, and how a debut American tour helped bring a new focus to Noel’s leadership

The Rise and Fall of Oasis - Episode 2 - Talk Tonight… A Riot In Newcastle

It's 1994 and Oasis’ constant touring is underscoring their reputation as rock n roll hell-raisers, a reputation which comes to the fore at a gig in Newcastle just days before the release of their debut album. Then, just a few weeks later, the hottest new band in the UK are in a mess in America. Their first US tour is a shambles. Frustrated at blowing their big chance, Noel Gallagher walks out of the band, flying off to Las Vegas. He returns after a week, with a new vision for Oasis, and with a set of clear objectives. Episode 2 looks at the live reputation that the band was starting to form, where an Oasis gig would either be biblical or diabolical, and how that debut American tour helped bring a new focus to Noel’s leadership
