Sinead O'Connor- a setlist
Modena, Italy, July 1997
The
socialist movement in northern Italy is curiously distinguished by being one of
the leading organisers of concerts by national and international artists throughout
the year. In July 1997 they organised a week of concerts featuring acts such as
David Byrne and Sinead O'Connor.
For Sinead's concert there could not have been any more than 2000 of the 10,000 tickets sold but she obviously wasn't peeved, bouncing through her set with a wonderfully endearing smile. The highlights were her cover of Marley's 'Redemption Song', while the unaccompanied "As she moved through the fair" that closed her set could only have melted the coldest of lefty hearts fortunate enough to have been in attendance that balmy Mediterranean mid-summer evening.
