Some Music

Here's some mp3's to wet your appetite for the weekends show:

The Boy With A Thorn in His Side (Smiths cover)

Wonderful version of Nina Simone's Be Your Husband

Live version of Lover, You Should've Come Over

Hallelujah

<- Bar far the stangest piece of fan art work I've found so far!

"Whoever listens carefully to "Hallelujah" will discover that it is a song about sex, about love, about life on earth. The hallelujah is not a homage to a worshipped person, idol or god, but the hallelujah of the orgasm. It's an ode to life and love."
-- Jeff Buckley

The Extra Track; the 'Grace Scandal'

The second release of the album featuring the last track 'Forget Her' which Buckley fought not to have included on the album. This version was released after his death.

10 Years ago today......

Ten years ago today (May 29, 1997) Jeff Buckley decided to go for a swim in the Wolf River, laid on his back and began floating while he sang "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin. Quickly, stealthily, and tragically the currents sucked him in and pulled him under.



"So I wait for you
And I burn
Will I ever see your
sweet return?

Oh, will I ever learn?"

His Last Performance

"I was at the last show he played at Barristers in Memphis on May 26, 1997. There were probably about 50 or 60 people there. He was wearing a grey dress suit with a tie. He went behind the bar and we couldn't see what he was doing. Then a couple of songs into the set he said: "there's some red wine over at the bar". He'd been pouring the wine into little plastic cups for the audience.He played a couple of things from "Grace": Corpus Christi, which he hadn't played for a long time, "The Sky is a Landfill" and "Your flesh is so nice". he did a pretty weird, aggressive version of Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein". It wasn't the usual joking Jeff, it was more intense than that. He had a heavy interaction going on during "Frankenstein" with this one girl who was standing on the side of the stage with her boyfriend.After the show, he copied this long text on to the first page of a Bible this guy gave him to sign". - Gayle Kelemen 1998
