Jeff Buckley - Live! in concert, interview, etc.

Jeff Buckley: Australia | Forget Her 1993 | Live! |

1. Introduction

The following are instances in which singer songwriter Jeff Buckley (1966-1997) was captured live in concert, in the studio, or in interview. Live material is rare, as Buckley's career was relatively brief - 1991 to 1997 - and took place in the years before smartphone facilitated live recording by audiences and members of the general public. The majority of recordings took place during 1995. NB: Video refers to a live, television or studio performance, rather than merely audio.

A number of interviews are preserved on YouTube here.
