“I left MCR in 96 and it was before that. Changed to 95 but still only guessing.”

“No sweep. Of course. Cold as ice , cool as a shave.”

“Again, pretty sure this was a bit later - don't think Generation X opened until 96 at least?”

“Much more likely to be 1997; April 26th 1994 was a Tuesday”

“Thanks for adding this! I was at this gig and I remember it as absolutely electrifying. I don't recall the jeering lads or the screaming girls, but I do recall the febrile, almost hysterical atmosphere. I was right down the front, second row and it was quite difficult to stay on my feet as the lads deliberately lurched from side to side and pressed forward so hard I thought they'd break my ribs. Going to gigs as a young woman in those days was quite challenging - men always took the opportunity to feel you up when you were penned in the crowd and unable to move your arms to give them a slap! But despite the usual nonsense from the lads in the audience, I remember stumbling out onto Oxford Street feeling completely intoxicated, and as if I could die happy that very night (I was 20!)”

“This is actually from 1993: see the Melody Maker gig guide here, which lists the Medicine gig (which I was at) https://cranberriesworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/1993.02.20-Melody-Maker.pdf”

“Hi Muggsy There are 6 vids on YT under a subscriber called specialkaraoke. It seems Skinny Dog records did a limited release (possibly digital) of there music. However I can't find any link on the website.”
