Two of Thailand's best bands with original material:

Modern Dog in 1995



Hin Lek Fai (Stone Metal Fire) in 1993

This is worth a look

Oasis Knebworth 1996

On 10th and 11th August 1996, 250,000 young music fans converged on Knebworth Park to see Oasis play two record breaking, era defining shows. The landmark concerts sold out in under a day with over 2% of the UK population attempting to buy tickets. This was a time when the UK was slowly recovering from a decade of recession.

Pubgoers trapped by storm for days only have each other and an Oasis tribute band for company

What it doesn't say..
Apart from the 3 dozen survivors an unknown number quietly slit their wrists in a warm bath tub - or wandered off into the snow mumbling something about "I am just going outside, and may be some time" a la the good Mr Oates.

I would have been one of perished, for sure

Having seen them both, I can say that this is totally different than "The Beatles Anthology." "Get Back" is almost niche in that it doesn't serve as a point of access for someone who is casually interested in The Beatles. You'd almost need to watch the anthology to have a clue wtf is going on with "Get Back." A lot of the fun I had came from watching them noodle around with their old hits, goof-off covering standards, and just whip up songs out of thin air.

That Ringo really didn't talk much, did he?

You left out the Beach boys.

(How can i be polite here?)

Hey Rich, 'not sure i agree that the Beach Boys are in the same league as the Beatles and the Stones. (or even the same planet. as anyone)

I went looking for The Best of The Best of the Beach Boys (volume V) but all their stuff is so heavily copyrighted i couldn't get a link.
Anyway, this cover band does the Beach Boys just about exactly the same, or even better. (imho)
