Son of the Starsailor

Released in August 1994, Jeff Buckley’s only completed studio album, Grace, sold poorly on its initial release and even received a number of lukewarm reviews in certain quarters. But recognised as a fully- fledged classic for more than 20 years now, the record continues to inspire and enthral new listeners consistently, and remains a huge seller around the world.

In the wake of Grace’s release, Buckley and his band toured extensively to promote the record, playing shows in the US, Europe, Japan and Australia, and some of his finest gigs came during the European leg in early ’95. Concerts given in Rotterdam, Frankfurt, and at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark, during this time were all recorded for live FM Radio Broadcast, transmitted not just in the local areas, but synched too across the States.

For the first time excerpts from all these shows are bought together on this LP which features largely cuts from Grace, but with a fine cover of MC5’s Kick Out The Jams thrown into the mix too.
