The Cranberries Perform ‘Dreams’ on RTÉ's Kenny Live, Limerick, Ireland
In March 1993, The Cranberries performed 'Dreams' on RTÉ Television in their hometown of Limerick, marking a defining moment in their early career. This live recording came shortly after the release of their debut album, 'Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?', which introduced their unique blend of alternative rock and ethereal melodies to the world. Interestingly, this performance captured the raw emotion and vulnerability that critics had begun to notice, with one remarking how they echoed the brilliance of The Smiths. Dolores O'Riordan's captivating voice, combined with her bandmates' melodic contributions, helped set the tone for their future successes. This period was crucial as the band was on the verge of skyrocketing to international fame, and such live performances helped solidify their reputation and fan base.
