Sinead O'Connor - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: In Concert, Glastonbury Festival, Worthy Farm, Pilton, Britain, 6-23-1995

I recently posted a 1990 Sinead O'Connor BBC concert to mark her recent death (as I write this in August 2023). That was the first of two BBC concerts she did that I found. Here's the other one, from 1995. 

This one is from the annual big Glastonbury Festival in Britain, which is usually broadcast by the BBC. She played the festival again in 2008 and 2013. I haven't found the audio of her performances from those years, but if you have them please pass them on to me, so I can post them here.

O'Connor's popularity plummeted in 1992 after she tore up a photo of the Pope on a TV show, to protest sexual abuse by Catholic priests. (In my opinion she would later be vindicated as more and more shocking evidence of such abuse came to light.) She bounced back somewhat with her 1994 album "Universal Mother." She was still promoting that album at the time of this concert, so many of the songs come from that. She notably did not perform her massive hit "Nothing Compares 2 U," although she did play a few songs from her earlier albums.

The lead vocals were a bit low in the mix, so I boosted them using the UVR5 audio editing program. Otherwise, the sound quality is excellent.

This album is 56 minutes long.

Sinead O'Connor - BBC Sessions, Volume 1: In Concert, Hammersmith Odeon, London, Britain, 4-24-1990

As I write this on July 27, 2023, Irish singer-songwriter Sinead O'Connor died yesterday. She was 56 years old, and the cause of her death was not disclosed. Due to her death, someone asked me today if I could post some of her music as part of my big BBC project. It so happens that I already had two BBC concerts that she did in my big pile of music to be processed and then posted here. So I processed it today, and here it is. I hope to post the other one soon.

This concert took place at the peak of her commercial success, due to the international Number One hit "Nothing Compares 2 U." Not surprisingly, in this concert she played that song, as well as many other songs from her 1990 "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got." The rest generally come from her one previous album at the time, "The Lion and the Cobra."

The sound quality of this album was pretty good, but not as great as one usually gets from BBC broadcasts. However, I analyzed the music and saw the vocals were rather low in the mix. So I used the UVR5 audio editing program to boost the vocals relative to the instruments. I think it sounds much better now.

This album is one hour long.
