Since the last review was speculating, I see no reason why not to myself. While it can indeed be argued that they are re-hashing the same Buckley music, I'm very happy with the chance to actually see him perform his work, which isn't so common, and especially in good quality unlike the online material one comes across.
Really Though, The True Reason I'm so interested in this new release is actually the extra DVD that will come along with it, namely "Amazing Grace", an acclaimed documentary that has been making the circuit in U.S. film festivals but without a distributor for wider release, all of which I've read about for 2 or 3 years with growing impatience.
It will, from what I've gleaned, have some in-depth and good interviews, including of course footage of Buckley himself.
For Buckley Fans, it's worth it for that DVD alone, as well as the chance, in a kind of wider version of "Live In Chicago", to See Buckley Live, where he was arguably at his best.

This release celebrates 15 years since 'Grace' was originally released, collecting together various television performances of the songs that are on the album (with the exception of 'Corpus Christi Carol', which is replaced by 'What Will You Say'). While there is a case for saying that there are already enough live albums with different versions of these songs, the packaging of this album is beautiful. This deluxe version comes in a fold-out sleeve, complete with Buckley memorabilia including postcards, posters and extended liner notes.
As for the music itself, it is no surprise that these tracks are excellent. The versions of 'Mojo Pin' and 'Dream Brother' are haunting, and there are several, such as 'Eternal Life', that are more raw and visceral than their album counterparts. The extra features on the first DVD are welcome too, with a live performance of 'Vancouver' from 'Sketches...', and some more interview footage. These interviews are entertaining and it is nice to get some insight into what was going on in Jeff's head. The real selling point of this set though is the inclusion of 'Amazing Grace: Jeff Buckley'. This is an independent film that was recorded by one of Jeff's interns. Shown at various film festivals around the world but unreleased until now, it provides 'all access' footage along with collected interviews with other musicians, artists, writers, dancers... anybody who has been influenced by Buckley's music in some way. It is a fantastic tribute to such a great artist.
So although there will not be much new for the avid Buckley fan, the very inclusion of this film makes it worthwhile, and the packaging is excellent too, making it feel like a collectors' edition set.

Have taken time to purchase this item and the lower price makes this piece even more prized in my collection. Yes we do have a lot of offerings in the catalogue, however this set is a great fan collection.
Firstly, brings together some great TV appearances, whilst Jeff and the band were promoting Grace outside the US. Secondly, re-mastered copies of these performances on the CD, which has been played on my ipod repeatedly for weeks, truely can't get enough. And then finally, the Amazing Grace documentary, which was the original reason for my interest in this set as it was only in the limited cinema circulation in America.
To add to all this, the product also contains copies of tour memorabilia (stage passes, posters, postcards) which only add to the overall experience. At the cost of £15, I would say this is an almost essential purchase for any fan.
I know there's a couple of reviews advising that this is simple exploitation but I would argue that this content hasn't been re-pulled together from other products that already exist.
Well worth the money.

I hesitated about buying this at first but am so glad I did - it's all previously unseen material and it's all amazing.

What's the point. Jeff released one fairly great album in his life, recorded another almost-as-good, and here we are, twelve years later, on his FIFTH live album. Read more

Don't get me wrong, all the stuff on this set looks mint. Hell, it probably is mint. Read more
