Comment
This is a stunning early concert from Sinead's first tour in the U.S. in support of her debut album, "The Lion and the Cobra".

FM broadcast on WBCN. Also, circulates as a rare bootleg of unknown pedigree known as "Paradiso" (and which, oddly, also includes a 1995 concert)

A special feature is "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle", a Smith's song which never Sinead never recorded for an album.
Other highlights: "Never Get Old" includes a recital of the 91st Psalm in Gaelic by Eithne Ni Bhraonain (Enya) via digital sampler; Sinead playing 12-string on "Troy"; and, best of all, Sinead's own passionate, sassy self and goofy humor.

According to a college newspaper review, there were a couple of songs in the set that were not included in the broadcast: "Jump In the River" and another song (poss. "The Value of Ignorance"?).

Band:
Sinead O'Connor, vocals, guitar
Andy Rourke, bass (ex-Smiths)
Mike Joyce, drums (ex-Smiths)
