I have owned this DVD for many years and got it out again after Sinead's bizarre appearance on the Graham Norton show in February 2012: amazingly it's just as fresh as when it was first recorded 20 years or so ago.
The DVD falls into 2 separate halves: the Value of Ignorance, which is a rather pointless selection of tracks playing behind a swirling brightly coloured screen: if you like these tracks, buy the CD and listen to them in decent quality sound.
The Year of the Horse is simply a live recording of a concert... and what a concert.
This must have been the high point of her career: wonderful songs given an extra dimension by the live performance of an excellent tight backing band. Unforgettable, emotionally naked performances, barely keeping the right side of hysteria. The frightening combination of her unadorned physical beauty and incipient mental disarray is shocking to say the least.
Beware: the sound and vision quality are not good, and quite poor in places, but it hardly detracts from the visceral quality of the performance: watch the emotional wreckage of Troy and if you're not close to tears, you really should see the doctor.
