    I agree that it is simply a way to cash in on Jeff's name and its a shame that it was released. Especially when all these songs can be found (usually with live footage) on youtube. It does feature some good live songs but its really unneeded

    It captures him as a working musician, pushing his first album hard, trying to get his name and music known, not caring about anything outside of the moment--all things that offer a potent, stirring reminder of Buckley's power and grace.

    While the whole package is marketed as a "love letter" to fans, true followers will quickly be able to sniff out its inferiorities. If anything, this latest selection from the dwindling Buckley vaults subverts his talents and ultimately insults the same hardcore fans it's aimed at.

    What makes the live performances of Grace Around the World so worthwhile is the fact he never sang any one song the same way twice.
