Today is another close to my heart gig: McCabe's Guitar Sho in Santa Monica, CA on July 29, 1994...of all the LA gigs, I think this is the one I'd most likely have attended had I only heard him on Morning Becomes Eclectic and heard it mentioned. It's also 8 days before my birthday. My favorite bit has to be the inclusion of part of the Buzzcocks song "Why Can't I Touch It?" (which I love) into "Kanga-Roo"...enjoy! ☺ (website)

Glastonbury Reviews
The Gaurdian: June 26, 1995
By Ed Vulliamy
The main stage acts were cappped without question by the haunting, almost operatic voice and the winding, elastic tempo tapestries of Jeff Buckley. Son of the tragic hero of folk rock, Tim Buckley, he is probably a better balladeer. He was greeted by his devotees, but then found himself rousing the entire valley as he narrated the soft and harsh episodes in his stories of desolate love in a "world gone cold, no one cares about love any more."

Select Magazine, July, 1995
Pyramid Stage, Saturday 2:50pm
Only those with the foresight to bring high-power binoculars could salivate over his spectacular cheekbones, so it's all down to Buckley's music. But he plays all his grunge-beast songs, and not stuff like "Hallelujah" which is what usually gives Jeff his full kaleidoscopic spectrum of mood and magic.
Best Song: "So Real"
Best Onstage Ad-lib: "You're so quiet, we're so quiet together. We never talk anymore. Haha."
Worst Moment: Jeff invites on Ben Watt.
Best Moment: He and Watt launch into a version of the MC5's "Kick Out The Jams".
Overall Score: 3/10. AP

Jeff Buckley's too unsullied, too compassionate to really rub my lamp. I want fear and loathing, dread and desire, a stubborn, vindictive refusal to understand. Some HATE in his love songs. And isn't it time he wrote some new material? (JTC)

Earth Jam Footage
Atlanta, GA on April 22, 1995...supposedly the whole set was filmed by two cameras, but the supplier of the footage refuses to share anymore of it, or supply any information on how to get in touch with the other cameraman, which is such a shame and loss for us all. For now, at least we have these...:-)
"Dream Brother"
"Mountain Stage" Radio Program
On April 2, 1994, Jeff's set on the "Mountain Stage" radio show in Charleston, West Virginia was aired. The show was recorded on February 27, 1994...Enjoy! 🙂
Setlist:
1. Lover, You Should've Come Over
2. Mojo Pin
3. Grace
4. Good Morning Little School Girl (w/crew)
Columbia Records Radio Hour
On this day in 1995, Jeff played a version of "Grace" and "Mojo Pin" on the Columbia Records Radio Hour...I wonder if there's more from this show, and if so, that hopefully we'll hear it someday...
