It's 1994 and Oasis’s constant touring is underscoring their
reputation as rock 'n' roll hellraisers, 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.
