| | Jeff Buckley Live At L'Olympia CD - Import Jeff Buckley Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Includes a secret code to access live footage on the internet.
Recorded live at Olympia, Paris, France on July 6, 1995. Includes liner notes by J. D. Beauvalet.
Partially due to the increased rate of cultural dissemination in the information age, Jeff Buckley's posthumous releases nearly caught up with those of his '60s-icon father Tim by the beginning of the 21st century. The elder Buckley had more time to grow stylistically, lending his various posthumous live albums a diversity and air of discovery Jeff's concert recordings never had a shot at. Nevertheless, every Jeff Buckley concert was an event, and his muse was so mercurial that no two of his performances were remotely alike. Thus, amid staples from GRACE such as the fragile Leonard Cohen ballad "Hallelujah" and the raga-rock "Dream Brother," there are some surprises. The previously unheard "That's All I Ask" has a loose, wandering feel that makes it seem spontaneously created. The brief lampoon of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" does not obscure Buckley's obvious debt to that band (and that song).
A turbo-charged "Eternal Life" echoes Buckley's love of the MC5, more explicitly evidenced by the following song, an unfettered cover of that group's classic "Kick out the Jams." The French audience is so taken with Buckley's swooning rendition of the Edith Piaf ballad "Je N'en Connais Pas La Fin" that he interrupts himself mid-croon to clown around with them. From ferocious rockers to pin-droppers like the Piaf song, Buckley's unearthly voice is a remarkable instrument constantly giving birth to excitement and surprise. There's no better way to experience those feelings than in a live setting, and for most Buckley fans, this is unfortunately about as close as they'll ever come to that.
On the eve of the 4th anniversary of his death comes an exclusive live album only to be released in Australia and France. This live album was initiated by Sony France, who believe they have an amazing recording of a particular French concert from 1995. Containing many of the hits from Grace, live favorites, and covers (some here on CD for the first time, some old), Live At La Olympia is a stunning 3 fold, soft-cover recording to add to the collection of Jeff's fans. 24 page booklet with, biography, handwritten track notes and lyrics by the artist and a rare live & studio photograph collection. Features 11 tracks all recorded Live at the La Olympia Theater in France. Includes covers of Led Zeppelin, MC-5 & Leonard Cohen. Tracks, 'Lover, You Should Have Come Over', 'Dream Brother', 'Eternal Life', 'Kick Out The Jams', 'Lilac Wine', 'Grace', 'That's All I Ask', 'Kasmir', 'Je N'en Cnnais Pas La Fin', 'Hallelujah' & 'What Will You Say (Duet With Alim Qasimov)'. 2001 release.

Live At L'Olympia album
$18.65
There have been dozens and dozens of Motörhead compilations released over the decades, but the first one remains definitive, even if it's not perfect. Released in 1984 as a gap-filler -- for Motörhead were regrouping in the wake of the bandmember shuffling that followed the odd Another Perfect Day album -- No Remorse compiled two-dozen songs across two discs (latter-day editions adding a good serving of bonus tracks, too). Many of the band's best songs to date are here, like "Ace of Spades," "Stay Clean," "Overkill," "Bomber," and "Iron Fist." There are also four new recordings that were cut exclusively for No ...

Born in Great Britain, John Burnett established himself in his country's big-band scene before relocating to the USA, settling in Chicago. With a music-rich city to draw upon for players, in 1999 Burnett established his own big band to pay tribute to the sounds of the 1940s. Like Duke Ellington, Burnett envisioned a band that would appeal to both dancers and listeners. With WEST OF STATE, the ratio leans a bit more to the ...
