Verdict: Five stars.

Thirty years ago, Oasis changed the face of music forever with their unforgettable debut Definitely Maybe.

Britpop was born, the world met Liam Gallagher, and 'sunshine' was never quite sung in the same way ever again.

A complete masterpiece, Definitely Maybe defined an era, resonated with the voice of the youth, and put the rock n’roll back into music.

The album is timeless and its birthday was quite rightly celebrated in spectacular style thanks to Liam performing it in its entirety at the Hydro tonight.

Gallagher, now 51, wore his trademark parka for the occasion - of course -  as he swaggered onto the Finnieston stage after a countdown clock took the audience from 2024 to 1994 - the year the album was released.

Rock 'n’ Roll Star kicked off the proceedings with the crowd bouncing throughout.

Columbia quickly followed and is a track any Oasis fan will agree was made for this setting. It was a complete joy to hear it live as the guitar ramped up the tempo of the song.

Cheeky Gallagher, a Man City fan, then teased: “Are you getting leathered at the football or you still holding on? Well, good luck anyway," referencing Scotland playing Switzerland in the Euros. 

He then humbly added: “I appreciate you all coming out tonight especially when you could be watching the football in the pub. Respect.”

But it was Gallagher who had the respect of the audience as he held his own performing the album without the line-up most Oasis fans would like to see.

As a frontman, he is thrilling to watch. He has that quality to own a stage and his persona has remained consistent throughout his decades in music.

But credit has to be given where it’s due, especially to his brother Noel whose songwriting prowess made the music Oasis created possible.

Liam showcased this as he digged into the band’s archive performing Half the World Away - a song usually performed by Noel and (It’s Good) To Be Free.

Whatever - a song also released in 1994 to bridge the gap between Definitely Maybe and follow-up (What's The Story) Morning Glory? - was a highlight with the strings harmonising beautifully with Gallagher’s unique tone.

But it was the proper indie rock tunes that defined Oasis' debut - Cigarettes and Alcohol, and Supersonic - that sent the crowd into a complete frenzy.

Finishing off in style with Slide Away and Live Forever, the nostalgia trip was complete with the passage of time only making Gallagher better at delivering these songs.

He signed off: "Thanks for coming out and celebrating this album. It deserves it."
