More Lemons, than Cranberries--but I did really enjoy the "Zombie" performance. by Poker Face (Toronto, Canada)  2 Stars
September 07, 2007
I'm giving this Dvd only 2.5 stars because you have to be a die-hard Cranberries fan to avoid falling asleep during this snoozefest. It's like watching a high school band perform in the gymnasium. They use either red, blue, or green lighting to try to liven it up a bit, but it fails miserably. Mostly boring and lifeless--more dead, than live, this concert is dark, dreary and dull (partly due to the song selection)!
It's in widescreen (looks like, 1.66:1), and the 2.0 channel stereo is very weak and useless. Luckily, the 5.1 surround is enough of an improvement (though still much too weak and well below average) to keep this from being a complete waste of time. Still, even my favorite song, "Dreams", failed to lift my spirits. Having the audience try to sing along, certainly didn't help matters. Ironically, Delores sings "Zombie" with more passion than any of the other songs. Here, she is not in a zombie, or out of breath state, but instead, more focused and strong. To spice things up, they even added in some quick edits during the song to match the beat of the music, and you can even see a man being passed around on the fingertips of the audience members as well. This performance awoke me from my zombie state, and without it, I would have lowered my rating to only 2 stars (even though it stood out only because the rest of the concert was so bland).
Unfortunately, I found almost all of the other songs to be too dull, regardless of how well Delores sang them. Other songs, such as: Pretty, Dreams, and Linger are done much better on their Cd's.
The picture gallery includes twenty useless pictures. The jukebox feature allows you to play any of the 15 concert songs in any order. However, even that is badly done. The wait between each song change is an extra few seconds too long. Other concert Dvd's with the jukebox feature (Jewel, etc.), make the song transitions faster, and appear almost seemless.
The 15 included songs from this 1994 London concert are: Pretty, Dreaming My Dreams, Linger, Ridiculous Thoughts, Daffodils Lament, How, Everything I Said, Not Sorry, Waltzing Back, Dreams, Zombie, Liar, So Cold in Ireland, Empty, Still Cant...
I've seen worse, but this certainly isn't going to do much for adding new fans. Worth a rental only.

Good for the music... Little else. by D. Davison (Missouri)  4 Stars
February 09, 2007
Worth buying for this price, lots of good tracks from their first 2 albums. Video quality is fairly poor, looks like a mediocre VHS release. It likely is, just made from the VHS tape released a long time ago. Special features are almost nonexistent. A photo album and the jukebox are it, no interviews or behind the scenes.

Bigger and Better on DVD by R. Wyman (Fort Worth, TX)  5 Stars
November 30, 2005
Any Cranberries fan MUST buy this DVD. I had the tape, but the DVD ROCKS! The sound is perfect and the video has greatly improved over the VHS tape. This is early, raw Cranberries playing on a small stage in front of a small crowd. Don't think the prodcution values are small-time, they are big-time. The DVD has a "jukebox" that lets you play the songs in any order you like...select all or just the ones you want to hear. See Delores do an Irish line dance on one of the tracks. You won't be disappointed buying this DVD.

a musical Valentine by Alejandra Vernon (Long Beach, California) 5 Stars
April 25, 2004
Taped from a live concert at the London Astoria 2 on February 14th, 1994, the center of attraction is the fabulous talent of Delores O'Riordan, as a singer, songwriter, and performer. In a simple flowing dress, and a red knit cap framing her angelic face, she has total command of the audience, whether prancing about on the stage or standing still and singing quietly.O'Riordan wrote songs # 2, 5, 6, 9, 11 and 13 alone, and the rest are credited to O'Riordan and Hogan.The song list is:1: "Pretty"2: "Dreaming My Dreams"3: "Linger" (a hit that the audience joins for the chorus)4: "Ridiculous Thoughts"5: "Daffodil's Lament" (one of the loveliest and most musically complex songs in this set)6: "How"7: "Everything I said"8: "Not Sorry"9: "Waltzing Back" (this one is a vocal marvel !)10: "Dreams" (this is the big one...the hit heard around the world)11: "Zombie"12: "Liar" (O'Riordan does a wonderful little jig during this song, and it is the "offical" end of the concert)Encores:13: "So Cold in Ireland" (perhaps my favorite song of the concert)14: "Empty"15: "Still Can't..."The Cranberries are: Delores O'Riordan, vocals and guitar / Fergal Lawler, drums / Noel Hogan, guitar / Mike Hogan, bass.This is terrific concert footage of a great and unique artist; she is beautiful to look at, and magical to hear. Total running time is 65 minutes.

Here's a video package that is, well, fruitful. And regardless of one's opinion of the Cranberries, no buyer will be shortchanged--not with well over an hour of music from their first decade together (17 music videos, plus four "alternate takes"), loads of live material (including a 34-minute, nine-song concert), a 26-minute documentary, and even an interactive DVD-ROM. It helps that the group's music--sometimes melodic and harmony-laden ("Dreams," "Ode to My Family"), sometimes powerful and...
