Liam the nice guy (13yrs ago) March 09, 2007 I HAVE unearthed some dynamite footage of the young OASIS – as Mr Nice Guys. This first live video was made in 1994 when the Gallaghers were in their early twenties. A nervous LIAM, without a hint of a swagger, approaches the microphone to sing in front of bemused Sony bigwigs for the first time. Then the foul-mouthed singer politely THANKS the bosses for listening to them. Liam had just signed to Creation Records with brother NOEL and the original Oasis members. Creation was in partnership with Sony. But he hadn’t yet developed his trademark growl and stage arrogance that would make him a superstar. The tape belonged to Noel, who gave it to pal David Bosmond — and it is due to be auctioned on eBay tonight. This original footage shows Noel, Liam, drummer TONY McCARROLL, bassist PAUL “GUIGSY” McGUIGAN and rhythm guitarist PAUL “BONEHEAD” ARTHURS performing a mini-gig at a Sony seminar at Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland. It shows them being introduced to a small audience of Sony staff and guests, who are told the band have just been signed and are the next big hope for British music. In a nervous performance of the first track Shakermaker, bushy-browed Liam gets his timing wrong. He recovers and the band — now one of the biggest-selling in British music history — rip into classics Bring It On Down, Digsy’s Dinner, Live Forever, Cigarettes And Alcohol and Supersonic. Liam changes the lyrics in anthem Live Forever from “We’ll see things they’ll never see” to “Take two sugars in my tea.” Video owner David told me: “It’s been gathering dust for years. It was Noel’s only copy — he’d promised me Guigsy’s guitar but couldn’t get it, so he gave me this instead.” The version of Bring It On Down was later reproduced on a DVD of the band’s first album, Definitely Maybe, while Live Forever was featured on a special edition bonus DVD. But this VHS tape of the entire mini-gig was given to Noel. He took it to David’s house in Bonehead’s blue BMW, referred to in the lyrics for Oasis’s first single Supersonic. The 13-year-old original VHS, taped two months before Oasis released their first song, will go on eBay at 8pm tonight. Former draftsman David said: “Tony McCarroll stayed at my house when he left the band to hide away from all the madness for a bit. “It was only when I was going through old boxes I found the tape again.” In the footage, an announcer is heard saying: “I know my job is to hype the s**t out of the next act, which is ours, but they don’t really need that. “They’re from Manchester, they’re Oasis and I hope you think they’re as great as we do.” Who could have known how great they would be 13 years later?
