Jeff Buckley - 21st June 1995 - City Varieties, Leeds, England

Date and venue confirmed through "All Flowers In Time" website http://flowersintime.org/show.php?gigid=305

As far as I am aware the complete concert is uncirculated (some individual tracks were posted to youTube).

All the information about the recording are contained in this message from the taper.

"Hi Emily,
I recorded the whole show on a borrowed Sony Professional Walkman but unfortunately I`d set the recording levels a bit high to begin with so some of the earlier tracks break up. Most of it is ok though. The mic was strapped to my wrist with the lead passing up my sleeve to the recorder which was hanging under my left arm, under a sweater. As you can imagine I couldn't do any clapping. It was recorded on a C90 cassette which I still have. The only bit of recording from the Jeff gig I didn't send you is when we catch up with [Jeff] after the show and he signed my ticket. I had the tape running while we hunted for a pen! In the end he found his fountain pen and we got his autograph. A special moment for me.
C"

Unfortunately I don't have that last little bit.

I don't know the process involved in getting the C90 recording to CD, but some of the songs are split across several tracks (Hallelujah/I Know It's Over are spread over some dozen tracks!) and a few songs are combined on one track - I'm not competent enough to correct - the files are encoded to flac directly from the CD's as I received via international snail mail.
Disc 1 has 9 tracks, six songs; Disc 2 has 34 tracks, six songs - many tracks are snippets of Buckley talking and/or audience.
I've included a rough transcript of the gig as a guide to the tracking.

It's not perfect, but it is superb, imho.

I've scanned the gatefold art that came with the discs; not well printed on an ink jet, not easily readable, although actually a nice simple design.

NOTES :
It would appear that the original fileset at some point in it's transfer to CD had been done so with some kind of 'track-at-once' option selected which inserted no less than thirty-three 2 second gaps in various quieter moments during the recording dissecting most songs into multiple segments.....
 To fix this, i decoded the original flacs to wav, rejoined all the files, edited out the silences with CDWave, rejoined & then tracked accordingly......

All thanks to taper 'C' & emilycurious
