Despite becoming a favourite among Oasis fans, "Stay Young" never appeared on one of the band's studio albums. Originally released as the B-side to "D'You Know What I Mean?", its defiant optimism made it a natural fit for the enormous shows of the Be Here Now era. This performance at Manchester's G-Mex in 1997 captures Oasis turning a B-side into something that sounded every bit like an anthem.

@OasisArchives Imagine just casually brushing past liam to get to your seat literally right by him like wtf. Would love 2 know what liam smells like 🥰🤣
"Turn Up the Sun" signalled how much Oasis had changed by 2005. Written by Andy Bell rather than Noel Gallagher, it was chosen to open Don't Believe the Truth and became the band's dramatic entrance music on the tour that followed. This Manchester performance captures Oasis opening a new era with one of the strongest contributions from outside the Gallagher brothers.
