Today, The Cranberries’ highly anticipated Live At The London Astoria II, 1994 will be released for the first time via Island/UMe on multiple formats, including 2LP Limited Edition Molten Lava Vinyl, standard black vinyl, CD, and digitally for streaming and download. Featuring seven tracks from their debut from their debut Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?, including “Pretty,” “Linger,” and “Dreams,” and six from their follow-up No Need to Argue, including “Dreaming My Dream,” “Daffodil Lament,” “Empty” and, of course, “Zombie,” 15-track live album also features two non-studio album tracks – “Liar” which was originally released on the Empire Records Soundtrack (1995) and “So Cold In Ireland,” a B-side for their single “Ode to My Family.”
“It was such a buzz playing in The Astoria,” remembers drummer Fergal Lawler. “We had returned from the U.S. and taken a bit of time off for Christmas. This was our first concert back in London after achieving such success in America. We were delighted to see a few of our hardcore fans at the front of the stage, I think we felt proud that all our hard work had finally come to fruition.”
Recorded between their widely celebrated debut Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? (1993) and soon-to-be-released commercial breakthrough No Need to Argue (1994), this special performance found the Irish band at the pivotal moment before they would become worldwide stars. Feeding off the excitement from their chart-topping first album which spawned the massive hits “Linger” and “Dreams,” The Cranberries played to an intimate crowd at the legendary venue London Astoria II.
