Still, the song is fully formed and the performance offers a glimpse at the inherent power of the track as the crowd reacts to Dolores O\u2019Riordan belting the song\u2019s soon-to-be unmistakable hook.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The \u201cZombie\u201d clip comes from the Cranberries\u2019 1994 concert film, <em>The Cranberries Live<\/em>, which was released in May of that year, while a DVD version arrived in 2005. The film was shot a little less than a year after the release of the band\u2019s breakout debut<span>&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/cranberries-talk-everybody-else-is-doing-it-reissue-final-album-with-dolores-o-riordan-731376\/\">1993 debut, <em>Everybody Else is Doing It, So Why Can\u2019t We?<\/em><\/a> and a few months before the release of their follow-up, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-lists\/1994-the-40-best-records-from-mainstream-alternatives-greatest-year-29203\/the-cranberries-no-need-to-argue-168715\/\">No Need to Argue<\/a><\/em>, which would contain \u201cZombie\u201d and go on to sell over 17 million copies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The \u201cZombie\u201d live clip also marks the start of a new remaster and restoration project that will see the band\u2019s music video catalogue re-uploaded to YouTube in high definition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In April, the Cranberries released their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/the-cranberries-final-album-dolores-oriordan-in-the-end-779079\/\">final album, <em>In the End<\/em><\/a>. O\u2019Riordan and Cranberries guitarist Noel Hogan began working on the LP before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/dolores-oriordan-the-cranberries-singer-dead-at-46-253547\/\">O\u2019Riordan\u2019s death<\/a> last January. After several months of mourning, the rest of the band enlisted producer Stephen Street to help them finish the record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Cranberries said they had no intention of replacing O\u2019Riordan or staying together following the release of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-album-reviews\/cranberries-in-the-end-review-819134\/\"><em>In the End<\/em><\/a>, with Hogan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/the-cranberries-final-album-interview-790271\/\">telling <em>Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a>, \u201cIt\u2019s not something we\u2019re ever going to entertain.
