On February 14, 1995, The Cranberries recorded a live acoustic performance in front of an audience at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York City for the MTV Unplugged series. During that performance with a strings ensemble, the band played nine songs, from which three were unreleased material at that time. While "Free to Decide" and "I’m Still Remembering" were later included on the band’s third album To the Faithful Departed, "Yesterday’s Gone" remains unreleased in a studio format. The MTV Unplugged version of "Zombie" appeared on the band’s "When You're Gone" North American Maxi single and the one of "Yesterday's Gone", on the Beneath the Skin – Live in Paris DVD. The show aired for the first time on April 18, 1995.
