Thought I'd start out with a Jeff Buckley bootleg that has been lounging in my library for some time.
This was recorded 3 days before Jeff's last show in New York, on February 4th, 1997 (If anyone knows where I can find his last show at Arlene's Grocery, the farewell to New York show, I'd love to have it). Gary Lucas joins him on guitar for Grace.
The recording itself is stellar, the man beautiful, and song choice reminiscent of My Sweetheart the Drunk. His audience banter is good, but quite different from what's on the Live at Sin-e Legacy Edition. He sounds more laid-back, not as quick. The audience doesn't respond to his "I'm just being an ass-hole" comment like they did "I am a ridiculous person" at Sin-e. Maybe thats the reason he seems a bit rattled - he isn't headlining and the audience doesn't recognize his songs like they did during the Grace tour.
Its more likely that he's high, however. Luckily this doesn't affect his amazing voice, and only increases his experimentation.
