Buckley's London debut was recorded shortly after the release of the pivotal HAPPY SAD, on which he had broken away from folk music and embraced a more expressive, jazz-based style. The respectful audience at the Queen Elizabeth Hall reserve their warmest applause for standard singer-songwriter fare like "Morning Glory" and "Once I Was," but Buckley himself seems more at ease on lengthier vocal workouts such as "Love From Room 109/Strange Feeling" and "Carnival Song/Hi Lily, Hi Lo," enjoying the new-found freedom of expression afforded his remarkable multi-octave voice. The musical accompaniment is superb, Buckley's 12-string backed by guitar, vibes and bass. The only mystery is why this recording did not gain an official release until 1990.

Originally recorded in 1968, this is the classic, critically acclaimed double live album. First released in 1990, it was a landmark in the re-discovery of the creative genius of Tim Buckley. Contains performances of 'Morning Glory' and 'Once I Was'. 17 tracks over 2 CDs in a slimline double jewel box.

Recorded live at Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, England on July 10, 1968. Includes liner notes by Lee Underwood.

Personnel: Tim Buckley (vocals, 12-string acoustic guitar); Lee Underwood (guitar); David Friedman (vibraphone); Danny Thompson (bass).

Rolling Stone - "...more than a wonderful archival discovery. It is essential listening."
Q - 5 Stars - Indispensable - Included in Q's list of the Fifty Best Albums of 1990 - "...reveals an artist who could mesmerise an audience with just his voice, guitar and occasional hints of bass and vibraphone....The quality of his songwriting and the haunted wailing of his voice make this an album to treasure."
Stereo Review (12/90) - Performance "Stunning" / Recording "Excellent" - "...captures Buckley's elusive, visionary magic. His boundary-defying style was so unconventional that the public never really caught up with him....Hearing a voice so pure, honest, and true to its music is a delightful, singular experience."
Stereophile (9/90) - "I floated along for two hours on Buckley's unique way with a song, his incantatory voice, the astounding confidence of this 21- year-old so musically wise beyond his years....Not only essential for Tim Buckley fans everywhere, but a perfect introduction to the man's music....Highly recommended."

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Buckley Best Live
The live versions of many of Buckley's songs are the best.

5 stars DISK ONE IS MAGNIFICENT! GREAT SOUND!
This is a great YOU-ARE-THERE CONCERT. TIM'S VOICE IS LOUD AND CLEAR, and his band is well recorded. The music depicts my love-hate relationship with Buckley. Disk one is his great early period, and most of disk two, he strays away from what I, and others like: poor melodies, boring. Tim is probably the best, most artistic vocalist, and a great songwriter, in his early material. I give this release 5 stars on the strength of the first disk.

I REMEMBER MILES won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance. This stunning album is Shirley Horn's loving tribute to her friend and colleague, the legendary late Miles Davis. Davis was so taken by Horn's first album EMBERS AND ASHES that he forced The Village Vanguard to let her virtually-unknown trio open for him during his 1961 run there. Their friendship and admiration for each other's music lasted through the years, and Shirley Horn's 1991 recording YOU WON'T FORGET ME, was one of the last recordings Miles Davis made. Horn selected mostly ballads ...

The Cinderella-esque climb from lo-fi indie cult artist to Grammy nominee/major label darling must have been a perilous one for Smith, who makes the leap to the big time here after three well-regarded albums on small labels. He's lost none of his bite, though. The production values on XO may be slightly higher, but Smith's vision remains undiluted. The production, centered around acoustic guitar augmented by keyboards and lush vocal harmonies, recalls pop icons like the Beach Boys (especially on the closing acapella cut), Beatles and ...

With this album, years of personnel changes ended for Fleetwood Mac with the departure of guitarist Bob Welch. The remaining core of the group (Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Christine McVie) invited guitarist/vocalist Lindsey Buckingham and singer Stevie Nicks to join, and thus began the most commercially successful period for Fleetwood Mac. With 3 strong songwriters in Nicks, Buckingham and Christine McVie, FLEETWOOD MAC was their first number-1 album. PETER GREEN'S FLEETWOOD MAC, the band's full-length debut, is miles removed from commercially tailored soft rock of Fleetwood Mac's 1970s incarnation. The '60s version of the band, led by guitarist/singer Peter Green, was edgy, psychedelic, and rooted deeply ...
