A unique tape, never offered at auction before, featuring the only known footage of Oasis performing at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow on 31 May 1993, and the original camcorder used. This rare videotape recording captured the Oasis gig that would change the band's lives and spark the '90s Britpop phenomenon.

Oasis were not scheduled to perform that night, but persuaded the venue to let them play a four-song set, which comprised "Rock 'n' Roll Star", "Bring It On Down", "Up in the Sky" and a cover of the Beatles' "I Am the Walrus". At the time Oasis were an unknown band from Manchester who had only been playing live for a year. The impromptu performance was historic, as it was attended by Creation Records boss Alan McGee, who was immediately impressed and signed them on the spot. This night marked the beginning of Oasis' journey to worldwide success.

The footage was captured by Japanese student Ayako Misawa, who was studying in Glasgow at the time. Misawa frequently went to King Tut's, recording several bands on this camcorder for her personal use. As a rule, she only recorded the first two songs performed by each group. A snippet from this recording featured in Mat Whitecross' documentary Oasis: Supersonic. The entire footage from Oasis' set is approximately nine minutes long and has never been publicly shared in full.

The lot comprises a Konica 8mm cassette tape, a Sony Handycam Video8 camcorder, a Kyocera battery pack and charger, a King Tut's Wah Wah Gig Guide flyer from May 1993, and Misawa's original concert ticket. The camera's current functionality remains untested. Dimensions (tape): 10 cm x 6.75 cm x 2 cm (4" x 2.75" x 0.75"); (camcorder): 32 cm x 11 cm x 11 cm (12.5" x 4.25" x 4.25")
