The Cranberries debut album “Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?” turns 25 today! The band first album was released on 1 March 1993. This could have been such a great anniversary…

We’re sending love, at this very difficult time, to the lads: Fergal, Noel and Mike as well as to you, Dolores, wherever you are… 25 years ago you guys released an absolute masterpiece!

I don’t want to leave you
Even though I have to

Rare bootleg audio recorded from the audience shared on YouTube recently.
The Cranberries in Austin, TX at Frank Erwin Center on 29 November 1993

Only 2 songs recorded (Zombie, Liar) as taper explains, “This is a rough, live audience recording of the last two songs The Cranberries performed as the opener for Duran Duran. The Cranberries performance that night was magical and sweet. I only got the tail end of the performance as they were opening for Duran Duran.”

Rare bootleg video recorded by Peter de Jong from the audience in Utrecht at Vredenburg on 8 February 1995 and shared on his YouTube account today. 480p black & white. (color version exists!)

Thank you Peter for this gem!

Absolute goldmine!
Cranberries fan Alan Martin has published on Twitter a photo showing memorabilia, including a setlist, a newspaper ad and a live audio cassette recorded at The Parkway in 1991.
On the setlist, we can read Atosa (Iosa) played two times on that show… and regarding Alan’s tweet, he taped it!
So this would be a second and third live recorded version of the song, the first and only one version available until now was recorded at University Of London Union on the 14 November 1991.
