The Cranberries Perform 'Zombie' and More on Late Show with David Letterman
On November 11, 1994, The Cranberries delivered a powerful performance of "Zombie" on the Late Show with David Letterman, right around the time they were soaring in their career. Just a few months prior, in March 1994, they released their iconic album, "No Need to Argue," which featured the haunting ballad "Zombie"—a song that tackled themes of conflict and tragedy. This album solidified their place in the rock scene, earning them widespread acclaim and commercial success. Interestingly, the emotional depth of their music often resonated with listeners across various ages, reflecting the tumultuous social landscape of the '90s. Their appearances on such a prominent show not only showcased their talent but also helped bridge the gap between alternative rock and mainstream audiences, making these performances pivotal moments in their trajectory.
