//This is a WEBCAST report (slightly corrected) that I've originaly published (via e-mail) at the cranlist (cranlist@smoe.org) on the 19th sep 1999//

Hi!,
It's been awhile since my last post (I'm not going to tell you the whole story about that in this mail). The webcast is just finished and I'm so excited that I want to write some words right know!!.

First of all I updated my cransite so that any visitor to my site could visit the webcast (they will have time to visit the site on another ocasion ;) ).Not to mention that the address given in cranberries.ie was incorrect (at least when I checked it) but the one in cranberries.com was OK, so the problem was fixed.

The Show:

Let's make it clear that I'm gonna write about it,as it was seen on the webcast (you will have to ask someone who was on San Francisco for more precise details).

They started the webcast with some Michel Jackson classic and then some techno music with images from the outside of the theatre. Then it was time for the Collective Soul show. When they were finished it was time for some comercials and then the band 'Pound' played a couple of themes. (I think they swap the order of the bands at the webcast, because it was obvious that Pound played before C.Soul). Some interval and finaly they started with the cranberries; they started with PROMISES (they didn't broadcast that song from the beginning) :_(

Well i'll transcribe you the set-list from this show:

-Promises
-Loud and Clear
-Animal Instinct
-Ode to my Family -->dol playing on her KORG M1 keyboard
-Sunday --> a 'speedy' version,
dol on an acoustic Taylor (SORRY, It was in fact a GUILD acoustic guitar!!)
-Linger
-Wanted --> yet another 'speedy' and 'hardcore' version
-Salvation
-Desperate Andy
-Go Your Own Way
-Pretty
-When you're Gone --> Just AMAZING!!!
-I Can't be with you
-Waltzing Back
-Zombie
-Ridiculous Thoughts

(INTERVAL)

-Dying in the Sun --> DOL on PIANO
-You and me
-Just my Imagination
-Free to Decide
-Dreams

(END of Concert)

-They used a recorded version from Ave Maria (DOLORES VOCAL) to end the broadcast and then some comercials.

Dolores changed her dress 3 times during the concert; she started with a black Jacket and a kinda blue dress and she ended on a white dress (sorry i'm not good describing fashion ;o) She was with black short hair and her main instrument was her classic 'red ES-335' (I guess) Gibson Guitar..

Well I hope this short description of the show is for someone usefull.

BYE, WALKO :-))))))
