The Cranberries Live Performance of 'I Will Always' and 'Wanted' on 2 Meter Sessions

Venue: Koningin Elisabethzaal Location: Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium Date: May 25, 1993

On May 25, 1993, The Cranberries graced the '2 Meter Sessies' in Belgium, marking their first television performance outside Ireland—a significant milestone. At this point in their career, they had just released their debut album 'Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?' nearly a year prior, which helped catapult them into the spotlight with hits like 'Linger' and 'Dreams.' The band's unique blend of alternative rock and ethereal vocals from lead singer Dolores O'Riordan caught listeners' attention, shaping their rising popularity. It’s interesting to note that the songs performed, 'I Will Always' and 'Wanted,' reflect the band's ability to evoke emotion and connect intimately with audiences. This live session not only showcased their fresh sound but also solidified their place in the music scene during a spirited early '90s era, laying the groundwork for their future success that lay just ahead.
