This is one of Jeff's best-known early shows, as it was an FM broadcast, and heavily bootlegged, particularly over here in the EU 'grey market' of live recordings. Nonetheless, the entire concert has never been released by Sony. Two songs purporting to be from this show HAVE been released, and consequently removed from this upload to comply with Dime policy. My copy of the show did not contain "Satisfied Mind". The track labeled as such is actually nine minutes of interview. Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk contains a recording of Satisfied Mind credited to this date, but the song doesn't appear in any circulating copies of this show. I think the performance is from another date.

To complete the set, add "We All Fall In Love Sometimes" [Track 6] from "My Sister's Keeper: Music From The Motion Picture" (https://www.discogs.com/release/5649841-Various-My-Sisters-Keeper-Music-From-The-Motion-Picture) which DOES come from this show and has been removed.

Some years back, on Dime upload id=631061, user robgronotte asked if: "It's really the live radio versions on those studio albums?", which prompted me to get out the official releases and A/B them, to be certain, as the timings are so off. Here's what I replied back then:

"Yes. TThe EJ song is excerpted from the complete performance featured in the concert, so the tuning and banter is removed. This means about two minutes has been removed. My recording does not include "Satisfied Mind", which I believe to be from a different date.

"As something of a Buckley completist, I was surprised at the inclusion of that particular recording on a pretty obscure film soundtrack. I have A/B'd it numerous times, and it is in fact the same performance. Sadly, it lacks the ambience and depth of the WFMU broadcast version (which is out there in trading circles in several versions). It has been heavily compressed for CD release. Another reason for the Buckley fan community to maintain its intense dislike of the controller the estate. Rather than licensing these two songs, she should have released the entire unexpurgated concert, warts and all, as the incredible example of Jeff's mind at work that it is.

"This remains one of my favourite Buckley shows, and if you're on the fence, I urge you to download it and see for yourself what an amazing performer we lost so very very young."

Ten years on, I stand by that contention. Get this. You want it. You know you do.
