Description

A wonderful document of the last great gathering of the pre-internet age. No camera phones, no social media, just a band and its fans as one. - NOEL GALLAGHER

Twenty-five years on, this is the inside story of those nights, told through the breathtaking photographs of Jill Furmanovsky, granted unprecedented access to Oasis throughout that summer. Also includes newly obtained first-hand accounts from the people who were there - including Noel Gallagher and Alan McGee - in text by award-winning author Daniel Rachel.

This is the definitive account of two nights that a generation will never forget.
