- I dug really deep looking for this concert as I had heard many things about it. I'm really passionate about Jeff of course & also really fancy Radiohead, I heard they went to this show & very really moved by the experience.
I could not locate it so I asked a friend of mine who was able to dig more, & perhaps with a more suitable shovel, & he found it!
I didn't touch it much, just removed some clicks etc...
(The Garage, London, England September 1, 1994)
impressions: Really cool Page-ish solo in What Will You Say. So Real has a great vibe. Dream Brother has a really amazing part as Jeff goes into a Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan esque style of scatting & the passion is amazing. The guitar tone in this recording is really awesome. There's a really cool lick/solo he plays before Lilac Wine. Eternal Life has a really cool groove that makes the song have a feel that is really unique to this show/tour era. Amazing playing & vocals in this show of course.

Complete show
Stepping down rolloff to under -90dB by 19kHz. Small spike at 15.5kHz. Audible tape hiss.
There is a fade at the end of disc 1 (Lover, You should've...) & there is some light static during the beginning of the epic last track but nothing too distracting.
NOTES
A great audience recording capturing this electrifying gig of the European leg of Peyote Radio Theatre tour. Jeff is in his usual playful mood | check out - 'the pimple that Sony couldn't pop' comment & the banter that follows... Highlight has to the incredibly intense 26 minute rendition of 'Kangaroo/Chocolate' which Jeff slips into after 'All That I Ask'.
"September 1, 1994, The Garage in London's Finsbury Park. Jeff Buckley removes his shirt. The first three rows - entirely comprised, it seems, of smitten women - swoon en masse. The room ripples with sweat and electricity throughout the heady song which follows. As it finishes, one girl yells in a desperate, yearning tone, "Have my babies!" "And mine!" shouts another. Jeff laughs. "Hey I gotta show to do." " -- Jim Irvin ("It's Never Over: Jeff Buckley 1966-1997", Mojo Magazine, August 1997)
"This one has taken on almost mythic status among Buckley fans, with good reason; it might be the most harrowing and disturbing performance he ever gave, and it certainly engendered the magnificently angry "road version" of Eternal Life. The final encore starts breezily enough, with a relaxed Jeff joking about a lost phone number and dedicating the song to a fan ...and then to "someone else". Nina Simone's beseeching All That I Ask morphs into Big Star's Kangaroo and then into Jeff's own Chocolate improvisation, here stretched and extended into the kind of wired, spontaneous theatre which might have made Jim Morrison proud. It's a descent into the underworld, a stream-of-consciousness assault on stores of memory and desire, a devastating self-flagellation.("There you stare, your finger twisting your red hair, your accusations flying from you, oh you call me a liar, a cheater, you call me a whore..") It's sometimes violent, sometimes erotic, sometimes tender, sometimes terrifying, and so painfully intimate that it becomes overwhelming to witness. "Some day I'd like to become you and to know what it's like to feel me inside...when I wake up in your hair, when I wake up in your arms, I swear upon my blood I understand you, I swear on my grave I understand you..." A Sony executive in the audience later sent him a memo asking him not to repeat the half-hour encore, claiming he was failing to "do justice to himself as an entertainer." Jeff reacted by turning his song Eternal Life into a vicious piece of hardcore directed straight at the music business he so mistrusted. However, Thom Yorke, who was in the audience that night, was reduced to tears. Bassist Colin Greenwood told UK music magazine Mojo how Radiohead returned to the studio after the show and recorded their classic Fake Plastic Trees - a performance which had been eluding them for days." -- (Web Article, Clare O'Brien, 'Flowers in Time' website)

I was at the Garage show but I'm pretty sure the set began with Mojo Pin, just Jeff playing alone for a bit and with the band joining in a whlle later. So I'm not sure this is that same show. it did end with a 20min+ Kangaroo as encore though, just like here, totally unhinged and wild. Unfortunately it was too much for some folks and the crowd thinned out quite a bit. I just stood there at the font, totally hypnotised.
One of the most magical shows I've ever seen.
This was so intense, I am speechless!
love this show
RIP.
Wow! I have been hearing about this show for years. Thank you for posting!
