As Oasis gear up to bring their triumphant reunion tour to North America next week, on Thursday (Aug. 21) the group issued the latest live track from their kick-off run of shows in the U.K. and Ireland. As with the other performance versions to date, the take on the Definitely Maybe song “Bring It On Down” has a crackling energy, as well as a massive crowd clap-along through the middle section.

“You’re the outcast, you’re the underclass/ But you don’t care, because you’re living fast/ You’re the uninvited guest who stays ’till the end/ I know you’ve got a problem that the devil sends,” singer Liam Gallagher sneers in a near-punk snarl as guitarist/songwriter Noel Gallagher shreds behind him on the track.

The song was recorded at Edinburgh, Scotland’s Murrayfield Stadium on Aug. 9 during the first of two shows at the venue. It joins the previous live offerings from the band, which have included the fan-favorite 1995 single “Wonderwall” from one of their recent shows in Dublin, Ireland, as well as “Slide Away” from the kick-off in Cardiff, Wales, “Cigarettes & Alcohol” from their home town of Manchester and “Little By Little” from a five-night London run.

Following a short break, the band will kick off their North American dates on Sunday (Aug. 24) at Rogers Stadium in Toronto — where the band will play a second show on Monday (Aug. 25) — before heading south to Soldier Field in Chicago (Aug. 28), MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. (Aug. 31, Sept. 1), the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. (Sept. 6, 7) and Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City (Sept. 12, 13). Cage the Elephant will be the opening act on all the North American dates, with Liverpool band Cast joining for the N.J. and California shows.
