Photographer Jill Furmanovsky:

There were problems with The MTV Unplugged. The set was just ghastly, no one liked
it.
There seemed to be hundreds of people running around all being terribly important,
from MTV and the US record company.
It was a very important event, but from the band's point of view, because it was
sandwiched between Knebworth
and the American tour, it was something of a chore.

Liam was poorly that day. He had a bad throat, and during the day he had been
resting his voice.
As the evening wore on it became apparent that he thought he couldn't sing.
There was this business of looking for doctors; the MTV big wigs and the record
company didn't
know what was going on and it was kept very quiet. The tension was enormous.
Worst still, Noel didn't know what was going on. Up to the last minute I don't
think anyone
knew whether Liam would sing or not. Noel of course gave it all he had, and I've
met lots of
people who thought it was really good.

Liam watched from the balcony, shouting encouragement. Normally you'd think if you
were ill
you'd be too embarressed to stay but he was there. The audience noticed him and
after the performance
they clamoured for him to come down. When he strode on stage the entire auditorium
erupted.
Everybody thought he had rallied and was going to sing, even I tought he would. But
the whole thing
felt so false that I was pleased he didn't.

mtv.com: Oasis Singer Sits out MTV Unplugged Taping by London 8/24/1996
Oasis performed their MTV Unplugged gig in London last night (Friday, Aug. 23) to
the lucky 402,
the two being a sick Oasis lead singer Liam Gallagher who did not perform due to a
sore throat
(at least that�s the official story) and his fiance Patsy Kensit. The lovebirds
watched
from the balcony instead. �Liam is not going to be with us tonight. He�s got a sore
throat,�
Oasis mastermind (and big brother) Noel Gallagher told the audience at the Royal
Festival Hall in London.

Noel sang all the songs during the 90 minute performance including one re-take of
�Hello.� The band didn�t
perform anything out of the ordinary, but did include two new songs in their set.
There were no special guests
as Addicted To Noise predicted, and even more surprising, there were few if any
famous faces in the audience.

In fact, the only real surprise of the evening was a last minute venue change from
the Roundhouse to the Royal Festival Hall
on the South Bank. Either too many people found about the original venue or it was
just a smoke screen all along. At the
end of the band�s set, the crowd chanted for Liam to come on stage. He obliged by
strolling on stage, banging the piano
a few times with his hand, waving to the crowd and then strolling off. The concert
was recorded for MTV Unplugged,
but it�s unclear now if it will make it onto the air. �We are very disappointed,�
MTV spokesman Ian Renwick told Reuters.

There was some controversy surrounding the event as many Mancunians (people from
Manchester that is) were upset that
they didn�t have more of an opportunity to score tickets to see the band they
helped support in the early days of their career.
We understand that most of the tickets won through local newspaper competitions
were distributed in the south of England.
