Notes

Live performance at Knebworth, 11 August 1996. Noel Gallagher used the Epiphone Sheraton for this song live, as confirmed by fan photos and forum consensus. The amp was a Marshall JCM900 head into a Marshall 4x12 cab, which was his main live rig at Knebworth. Pedalboard confirmed by documentary footage and Equipboard. Settings estimated based on typical 1990s Britpop/rock live tones and Marshall JCM900 usage, as no direct knob settings for this song/rig are available.
