TRANSCRIPT / CONTEXT

Jeff Buckley on music and life

Jeff Buckley - Theme from Land of the Giants TV Show (The Fez, NYC, June 19, 1994)

This Live performance happened on December 17, 1995 on Idiot's Delight w/ Vin Scelsa on WXRK K-Rock-NY just after Glen Burtnik was promoting the Bottom Line X-Mas show.  This recording is from my personal DATs and equipment.  The Air Personality, Vin Scelsa, is heard as bleed-through from the voc & Instru. mics.  This is 2nd of 2 songs he performed that day and was never recorded in the studio.

May 10 (Wednesday), 1995
Denver, Bluebird Theater, Colorado, USA

Still, the highlight of this show is him doing a cover of 'Once I Was', written by his father Tim Buckley.
Jeff rarely performed his fathers songs, and often flatly refused to do so when requested by audience members. This is potentially only the 2nd recording in existance of Jeff singing his fathers songs... (the first being the St Anne Tim Buckley Tribute Show he played at in 1991). Quoting Jeff after performing it:
'Are you satisfied now? are you really? then shut the fuck up for the rest of my life... Love and kisses from the living one... Jeff Buckley...'
