I'm not too big on "modern" music but when I discovered The Cranberries I was very pleasantly made aware that there's still some good and real music out there.Live in London was recorded in 1994, while the group was still gaining in popularity. One of their biggest hits, "Zombie," was introduced as "a new song." Delores O'Reardon has a unique voice and in this concert she's able to elicit its full range. She totally sings the heck out of "Liar", using a mix of talk and song with a bitter intonation which really puts across feelings toward the unknown recipient of her message. I really enjoy how she draws the audience into the songs, allowing them to sing some of the better known verses. She's not adverse to making physical contact with her admirers either which was quite refreshing.The band was tight, and I thoroughly enjoy hearing good bass and drum lines instead of the usual machine crap so popular this decade.The DVD runs over an hour, and the only thing more I can say is that I wish I had known about this band 15 years ago. At least now I can collect the rest of their cds and continue to enjoy what is a new treasure to me.
