Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Mystery White Boy, culled from Jeff Buckley's eight-month world tour of the same name, is not just another live album blighted by whoops and catcalls. Such was the reverence granted the ill-starred singer-songwriter's electrifying confessionals that hardly a whimper issues from the audience in 78 minutes--not, at least, until each gargantuan heart-and-soul epic ends. Buckley treated music like it was Shakespearean tragedy, and that grandiosity makes the live "Grace" and "Mojo Pin" at least the equal of their recorded counterparts. The gems, though, are the cover versions found here--especially a closing nine-minute rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" that lurches into a whispered chorus of the Smiths' "I Know It's Over." Ultimately, this posthumous collection is utterly captivating. --Louis Pattison

5.0 out of 5 stars Why buy another Jeff Buckley CD?, June 4, 2000
By Carolyn J. Seeley (Mexico City, Mexico) - See all my reviews
If you own Grace, aren't prone to purchasing an artist's entire collection, and may not be partial to live albums why click to order this CD?

Because each track is a showcase of Buckley's uninhibited, without apology, take it or leave it songwriting, interpretation, and rendering. Because it is clear producers Michael Tighe and Mary Guibert really worked to construct and produce a better than "best of" live experience. Because audience clutter serves to enhance rather than detract, adding to the emotion Buckley hurls from himself and wrenches from the listener, starting with Dream Brother, perhaps climaxing on Eternal life, and ending breathlessly with Hallelujah/I Know it's Over medley. Or perhaps simply because of the little gem in The Man That Got Away, an Arlen-Gershwin song.

Mystery White Boy is a gift for those of us who never saw Jeff Buckley and his band live.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buckley....once again, forever, May 15, 2000
By APM (USA) - See all my reviews
Jeff Buckely's is one of real triumph over death. The tragic loss of the young, soon-to-be- household name came at a time when the world was just discovering his music. This is a live album that is unusual in its feel because you can hear a pin drop while the album plays. The audience treats the songs with the reverence of prayer in a cathedral and Buckley's voice rises to the roof like some ancient spirit showing itself to remind us of its otherworldly power. The intense delivery of Big Star's "Kangaroo" and the haunting "Dream Brother" are poignant reminders of just how Buckley's voice was not so much a physical talent...it bordered on being a natural force. Again, Buckley's voice swells like a fearsome tide for "Grace" and settles for the beatific "Hallelujah". This is a live album that shouldn't be missed if you are a fan of Buckley...and certainly one you should catch if you are looking to get a feel for the magnetism and presence of a performer who left us too soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE GENIUS OF JEFF BUCKLEY, May 24, 2000
By A Customer
The major difference between Jeff and his father Tim was the fact that Tim was talented; Jeff was a genius. Jeff was often accused of stealing from his father but dismissed the alligations by saying "The only thing I ever stole from my father was a fleeting glimpse." They'd met only once.

The genius of Jeff Buckley is showcased on this collection of live performances. Recorded all over the world, you can hear Jeff perform mostly his tracks from 'Grace' as this tour took place before most of the "My Sweetheart, The Drunk" sessions.

The closing track, Jeff's rendition of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' and The Smiths' "I Know It's Over" moved me more than anything I've heard in a long while. His voice is so beautiful that it's chilling and no one has ever been able to outperform Morrissey's vocals like Jeff has. Other standout tracks include "Last Goodbye" recorded in Paris and "What Will You Say?" On the Australian release, you can find a remedy to the one huge oversight on the American release: A lovely version of Jeff's finest track "Lover, You Should've Come Over". It's well worth the extra cost for the bonus CD.

In a day of horrible talentless swine like Dave Matthews and Limp Bizkit, any recordings of Jeff's are a must. Jeff offered no gimmicks, no b.s., and he never catered to anyone. Everything he did came straight from his heart and it's showcased here. Simply brilliant!
