Jeff Buckley: Live At Arlene's Grocery '97

TREON058

Jeff Buckley performs live at Arlene's Grocery, NYC 9th Febuary 1997.

Notes:
"Arlene's Grocery is a club on the Lower East Side of New York City, owned by former Sin-é owner, Shane Doyle. Parker Kindred debuted as Jeff's new drummer and made his only public performance with the band there on February 9th, 1997. This show is also significant because a bootlegged recording exists of this show. Some of the songs that are featured on Sketches, such as "Witches' Rave" and "The Sky is a Landfill," were performed at this show."

This is one of Jeff's final performances and includes some songs which may have appeared on his second album but never had the chance to develope them further. This is sourced from an excellent audience recording and not the brickwalled bootleg "The Grace Of J". The upside of that is although this version is quieter the sound quality is much better.

Tracklist:
01 - Intro/Go Ahead, Tape Man
02 - Nightmares By The Sea
03 - Talking
04 - Witches Rave
05 - Tuning
06 - So Real
07 - Talking
08 - Paranoia In The City (Haven't You Heard)
09 - Surf Guitar Noodling (Instrumental)
10 - Talking
11 - Lover, You Should Have Come Over
12 - Morning Theft
13 - Vancouver
14 - Talking
15 - Moisture
16 - Talking
17 - Sky Is A Landfill
18 - Chocolate
19 - Mojo Pin
20 - Grace
21 - Talking
22 - Last Goodbye

Jeff Buckley: Just Passin' Thru Session (Revisited)

 

TREON028R

I've noticed a worring trend recently with a few Jeff Buckley releases. I think I'm right in thinking that the last official release we got is the boxset "Grace Around The World" in 2009 but since then we have gotten a small influx of Unofficial releases. Last year we got "Dreams Of The Way We Were" which was taken from Jeff's wonderful solo performance on WFMU's weekly music programme, 'The Music Faucet' on October 11th 1992. That performance deserves a crystal clear official release but what we got was a taped FM boardcast complete with hiss and sound distortion.

Yesterday I discovered another radio broadcast release. This time a two CD set entitled "It's Not Too Late", openly admited that the tracks were an FM "remaster". I gave serious consideration to buy it but I thought I'd better checkout the sound quality before I part with my hard earned cash. I found plenty of album previews online and I can honestly say it was pretty poor listening to say the least. Some of the tracks were playing at the wrong speed and sound way too slow as well as a good amount of tape wobble in places.
I'm not sure who did the "remastering" here but it doesn't sound as if they have made any attempt to improve the sound other than some pretty heavy handed noise reduction which as left the whole thing sounding muddy and flat.

Now, I'm no expert in this. I'm not as sound engineer or a producer, I am an enthusiastic amateur with a home computer and a few free audio editing softwares to play with but even with the little skill and technology I have, what I have made available here (for free!) has a lot better quality to what is being made available in the shops. That simply isn't right.

Track 01 is taken from my clean-up effort, found here: Jeff Buckley: The Music Faucet '92
Track 02 is taken from "It's Not Too Late".

Last week I was made aware of another unofficial release due out in May. "So Real: Live At East Orange 1992 / Studio Cleveland 1995" contains two performaces that are already available HERE and if this release gives us those sessions at a much higher audio quality then that is excellect and I welcome it with open arms (but I don't hold up much hope of that given the releases we've had so far) but what really makes me mad with this release is that on the back cover it has a photo of actor and musician Reeve Carney.
Don't believe me? Here is the back cover:

And here is a link to the intervew with Reeve and the photoshoot accompanying it:

It's just sloppy. As if they just used the first picture that google threw at them without even checking who was even in it.

How Jeff's legacy is being allowed to be treated at the moment is a little worrying but as long as this blog is still going I will do my best to treat Jeff's music and memory with the love and respect it deserves.

On that note, here is my final remaster of one of my favourite radio sessions from Jeff and his band: Live on WHFS-FM ''Just Passin Thru'' (Omega Studios, Rockville MD, 16th April 1995). I felt I over-cooked my remaster effort in the Asking To Stay... mix tape so I thought I'd go back one last time and do a final version.

Tracklist:
01 - Last Goodbye
02 - Lover, You Should've Come Over  
03 - So Real  
04 - Grace

Jeff Buckley: Live At Club Logo 1995

TREON049

Jeff Buckley live at Club Logo Hamburg, Germany (22.02.95).

Notes:
It's been on my mind to clean this one up for a while. Although the audio quality of the original file was very good the levels were a little low and there was quite a lot of hiss during the quieter moments. I've removed as many of the audio glitches as I could as well as restored the intro (by taking it from an official source) and I've added an outro to remove DJ chatter at the end.

Tracklist:
01 - Dream Brother
02 - So Real
03 - Last Goodbye
04 - What Will You Say
05 - Lilac Wine
06 - Mojo Pin
07 - Grace
08 - Eternal Life
09 - Lover, You Should've Come Over
10 - Will The Circle Be Unbroken
11 - Hallelujah
12 - Kanga Roo
