Description:
There are three components to the deluxe 'Grace Around The
World' package.
Grace Around The World DVD
Grace Around The World CD
A second DVD featuring the award-winning documentary Amazing
Grace: Jeff Buckley;
First there is the DVD, 'Grace Around The World', bearing
witness to the fact that Buckley onstage was a transcendent force. In a unique
concept, the main program of this DVD presents previously unreleased distinct
versions of the songs from the Grace album, culled from a variety of television
sources. These include 1994 U.S. shows at Howlin Wolf in New Orleans
("Dream Brother") and the JBTV acoustic performance in Chicago
("Lover You Should Have Come Over," the only previously released clip).
The balance of the songs all date from 1995: the BBC's Late Show in London
("Grace"); the tv show Live Aus Dem Sudbahnhof in Frankfurt, Germany
("So Real," "Mojo Pin," "What Will You Say"); MTV
Japan ("Hallelujah"); MTV's Most Wanted in London ("Eternal
Life," "Last Goodbye"); and MTV Europe's coverage of the
Eurokeenes Festival in Belfort, France ("Lilac Wine").
(Note: Buckley's rarely-performed Qawwali-influenced
"What Will You Say" appears instead of Grace's Benjamin Britten
adaptation of "Corpus Christi Carol," which Buckley did not perform
on-tour.)
The 'Grace Around The World' DVD includes 33 minutes of
bonus features. These begin with three songs performed in New York for MTV's
120 Minutes ("Grace," "So Real," "Last Goodbye"),
then "Vancouver" (from MTV's Most Wanted in London), and conclude
with the original music video for "Hallelujah" (directed by Ernie
Fritz). In between are behind-the-scenes on-the-road segments for VH1's Naked
Café, and the Merri Cyr bus interview.
The second component of 'Grace Around The World' is an audio
CD configuration of the 10 live song performances from the DVD, all previously
unreleased on CD. The disc will also feature previously unreleased additional
versions of "Grace" and "So Real" from a 1995 performance
on MTV's 120 Minutes.
The third component of 'Grace Around The World' is Amazing
Grace: Jeff Buckley, a one-hour DVD documentary created by Indie Filmmakers and
fans of Jeff, Laurie Trombley (who was Jeff's first fan mail reader/intern
while in college) and Nyla Bialek Adams, and sanctioned by Mary Guibert.
Included are rare performances and outtakes (culled from the Columbia Records
archives), footage, and interviews with him. There are interviews with a
variety of artists (painter, dancer, poets, singers, and so on) who pay tribute
to Buckley's influence on them. Interviews also include all three surviving
members of the Jeff Buckley Band, friends, family, colleagues, DJ's, producers,
critics and fans.
Amazing Grace: Jeff Buckley travels from Sydney, New York
and London, to Memphis, Montpellier, and Los Angeles, as it presents a very
indie and intimate look at Buckley's relationship to his music. The film has
been screened 30 times over the past several years and has won numerous
festival awards, including the Seattle Film Festival, San Francisco World Film
Festival, CMJ, among others.
Finally, 'Grace Around The World' will include a liner notes
booklet curated by Jeff's former publicist Howard Wuelfing. The notes will be a
montage of interviews with Mary Guibert, band members Michael Tighe (guitar,
backing vocals), Mick Grondahl (bass), and Matt Johnson (drums), members of
Buckley's touring team, and press quotes from vintage tour reviews.
