Jeff Buckley

Recorded on May 13, 1995, at the Metro in Chicago, this live performance of "Lover, You Should've Come Over" captures Jeff Buckley on the brink of greater acclaim. Just a few months prior, he had released his critically acclaimed debut album, "Grace," which debuted in 1994. Buckley's haunting voice and emotional depth were already evident, but this live setting allowed him to connect directly with fans and showcase his improvisational brilliance. Interestingly, this song reflects the complex themes of love and longing prevalent throughout 'Grace.' Tragically, Buckley's career would be cut short just a few years later, making these live recordings even more poignant as they remind us not only of his immense talent but also of the fleeting nature of artistic brilliance.
