Jeff Buckley - Live at Südbahnhof Frankfurt, Germany, February 24, 1995

On Friday, February 24, 1995, Jeff Buckley and his band attended at the Südbahnhof (southern railway station) in Frankfurt, Germany, to accompany a youth discussion programme of Hessen 3, a regional TV station. During a short break the group played "Grace" as sort of an appetizer. Later nine songs followed, though the transmission ended right in the middle of a second version of "Grace". "Eternal" Life", "Hallelujah" and "Vancouver" were lacking (some sources mention "I Know It's Over" before "Hallelujah" instead of "Vancouver" as the closing tune), and it seems that no soundboard recording of these three songs has surfaced yet, not even in the TV vaults. In Germany every now and then 45 minutes of the gig are re-broadcast without the first (complete) "Grace". Also the official 2009 DVD "Grace Around The World" presents "So Real", "Mojo Pin" and "What Will You Say".
The 51 minute recording here is based on a second generation copy of the original German production tape in superb quality @ 320 kbps with all songs in correct order.
