This 1995 concert is a single, complete show from the tour that yielded the posthumous Mystery White Boy live album. It likewise impresses, both for Buckley's own songs and the bold cover choices included, here including songs associated with Nina Simone and the MC5 (a range that explains the emotional epics that Buckley favors).
Visually, the unadorned lighting scheme casts an often harsh light on the pale, dark-haired frontman, but a generally solid performance is sonically captured with satisfying detail, and the 5.1 surround sound mix gives the DVD version an appropriate club ambience. The DVD also includes two bonus acoustic performances. --Sam Sutherland

Customer Reviews of Jeff Buckley - Live in Chicago
Intense, cathartic, and compelling Jeff Buckley was a consumate improviser, reknowned for his inspired and wayward explorations onstage - a habit which might have swamped a band comprised of lesser musicians. Buckley was blessed by the presence of Michael Tighe, Matt Johnson, and Mick Grondahl, who not only possessed the considerable gifts needed to follow him around every twist and turn, but whose intuitive and symbiotic playing helped push the music and the moment to dizzying heights.
Those already "converted" Buckley fans will find this live-in-its-entirety concert film a breath-taking and jaw-dropping ride from start to finish. It will leave the "uninitiated" transfixed, and give pause for reconsideration to those who may have already assessed and dismissed Buckley's music.
Recorded in Chicago during the support tour for "Grace," the film captures Buckley and Band near the apex of their creativity, and the DVD format lends the sound an incredible richness and resonance. The music is potent, immediate, and compelling. The subtle and complex interplay between the band members is impressive to witness. Watching Jeff lose himself to the music is awe-inspiring and humbling; watching Jeff crack jokes and goof around with the audience dispells the notion that he was some sort of moody, wounded angel. I was lucky enough to catch Jeff and the Boys in concert twice; while this film can't quite capture the essence of being present and participant in the feedback groove between performers and audience, it's a close second. It raises memories of what was, leaves questions about what could have been, and above all pays testament to the tremendous technical prowess and artistry these men possessed.
Jeff often spoke of music as a spiritual pursuit. This film is a document of a man, his peers, and his supplicants communing with and channeling God - and it is a powerful moment.
Buckley's Life Eternalized
Jeff Buckley left this planet too early, and what remains of his work still lovingly haunts and mesmerizes fans. "Live In Chicago" is priceless, capturing the essence of Buckley's live shows.
Anyone who was fortunate enough to catch a Buckley show while he was alive will tell you that it is an unbelievable experience. This video captures the show in it's entirety, including Buckley's between-song humor.
Highlights? Impossible to narrow down. Really. The bonus features on this disc are great collector's pieces - 2 rare acoustic performances from a cable access show, and an electronic press kit are included.
No extra hype here - no fluff. Just a straight-up Buckley show in all it's beauty, untouched and as real as it gets. If you are a Buckley fan, this should be number one on your wish list.
An introspective look on one of our greatest talents
The long-haired Jeff Buckley is captured in a DVD worthy of the accolades it has recieved. We can finally see his amazing voice (spanning a whopping four-octaves), his astounding guitar-playing abilities (using only standard tuning), and his between-song antics that all combine into one solid night of music at the Metro.
You see, most bands try to grab thirty seconds of magic and try to stretch it out into an entire performance. Masking it with glitzy lights and fog makers. But Buckley only weaves a pattern of song after song, pure and unadultrated, being completely different yet remarkably the same.
The DVD includes his own improvisations with standards like Dream Brother, Mojo Pin, So Real, Kick Out the Jams, Vancouver and more. This DVD also has two acoustics of So Real and Last Goodbye (not to be missed by any Buckley fan) and the Electronic Press Kit for Grace that is very well done.
This is where it all boils down, and only stirs my remorse further that we had to lose potentially the best musician ever so young.
