Part 1 of the Rise and Fall of Oasis

Jo Whiley and Steve Lamacq tell the story of Oasis from their first gigs in Manchester to becoming the biggest band in Britain. Along the way there are chaotic tours, a disastrous trip to Amsterdam, explosive rows, a riot in Newcastle and a shambolic first trip to America. We also hear how Noel Gallagher briefly walked out of the band, how a new drummer arrived and the release of the era defining (What's the Story) Morning Glory? It's the story of a band moving at breakneck speed, where every triumph is matched by fresh chaos, and where Oasis begin their unstoppable rise.
