Tracks seven and eight did not appear on the original release, but have appeared as bonus tracks on almost every edition of the album since. Live in Europe is considered by many critics to be a landmark live recording, as it carefully blends the musicians with the crowd to create a gig-like atmosphere so craved by those who enjoy or produce live albums. Gallagher always insisted that his studio albums failed to capture the raw energy of his live acts and as a result released a number of live albums, many of which contain what are considered the "definitive versions" of some of his better known songs.
