Amazing Grace, Beautiful Jeff
Twelve years after Jeff Buckley's death, we are still presented with new items. Here we have a disk of live performances, both in DVD and CD form. The performances are tremendous as always, and it is interesting to see the camera movement in the MTV recordings, and the evil eyes Jeff gives them. Vancouver is always a pleasure to hear live because it was in the beginning stages at the time the band was touring; it turned into a gorgeous song. The "Star Tours" segment and Merri Cyr's interview are fabulous (albiet short) clips that showcase Jeff's sense of humor and sense of frustration with fame.Also included is a documentary called Amazing Grace made by a few fans. It is about Jeff's legacy through his fans, which runs the gamut of unknown painters and musicians to big names and friends. There are some really insightful comments about Jeff in the documentary, about his music and his own soul, why his music is so important to artists, and what he has inspired.The set also includes some cute little additions, like postcards, a copy of a backstage pass, Jeff's boarding pass, and a two-sided poster.Jeff lives and breathes through his music, and sets like this prolong his memory. It is truly beautiful.

A Touching Memory of Jeff.
I was so elated when I got this package in my mail. The minute I opened it I could see how thoughtfully Mary (Jeff's mother) had packed everything together - the photos, boarding pass as well as the booklet inside. Reading and looking at everything was wonderful. The CD and Dvd of Grace Around The World contains the live shows that Jeff did and are ,ofcourse, incredible. Before I ordered this package I had everything that was available of Jeff's music, and was afraid that it would just be the same stuff. But this package contains very different and unique performances as well as the touching documentary ''Amazing Grace''. I'm so happy I chose to buy this - it keeps Jeff's memory, talent, and legacy alive.Much Love to all Jeff fans out there.

Awesome. Simple as that.
I love these Deluxe versions of Jeff Buckley and this is one of the best, if one is better then other, this might be the one to own. The DVD is excellent as well. What an amazingly talented songwriter he was. I always say what a shame he didn't have the time to leave a proper catalog. I recommend this to a beginner or the most hardcore fan. A must own.

Buy It.
I'm a hufe Jeff fan, owning almost every official release - and having seen many interviews, etc. on the Web. I hesitated to buy this, thinking that it might just be a re-packaging of everything I've seen before. It's way more than that.The "Amazing Grace" DVD is a great representation of Jeff. The interviews with the band and others (mainly David Fricke of Rolling Stone and Chris Cornell)confirm his talent and spirit - and legacy.Highly recommended.

Great music and unseen footage.
I would say some of the footage you can find on youtube and other sites, but the videos are in much better quality. Also, some of the concert footage I have never seen before. Worth the buy if you're a Jeff Buckley fan.

awesome!!!!!!
This was such a great video. The insight into his being was far greater than I expected. The music was amazing of course. Not knowing who this person was prior to watching I feel deeply rewarded and enriched.

so delight!
最近になって気になり始め「SO REAL」を口ずさむくらい Jeff BUCKLEYがお気に入りです。最初は SO REALのヴィデオを拝見して以来ただものではない なにか内秘めた神秘的なシンガーだなと思いました。頭から曲が離れず以降こちらで商品を発見しましてうれしく思います。JEFF氏はあまり笑顔をみせないクールな一面をもってるので、すこしでも笑顔をみしていただけたらなぁ・・・と30でいなくなるなんて悲しい。この同じ年代を感じきって商品をまじまじ見ようかな。JEFFのことしらないけど当時にタイムスリップしてライヴにいけたら「ジェーフ!!」と叫ぶだろう。映像の中ではいきているので デラックス版でちいさな幸せをかみしめたい。届いた品の感想☆海外品なのにシュリンクされているとろこから愛があります。付属ポスターが角折れがあったのはすこしさみしかったもののデラックス版という分厚いもので届きうれしいです。本品CD DVDを開けると JAPAN TOUR のロゴがありました。日本へ確かにライヴをしたという証が何よりも大喜びです。本品は輸入品でありますが、リージョン関係なくPCで見れます。英語字幕を日本に訳してみようと思います。ありがとうございます AMAZON!

Reviews weren't great, still loved it.
A lot has been said about this being a bit of a cash grab or filled with less -than -great content.I disagree, all the live performances are beautiful, the interview extras are pure 90's...odd angles, faux deep questions with equally silly answers but it's our Jeff, and any footage is a bonus when it comes to our Jeff.In all seriousness, Jeff Buckley fans will devour this, particularly those a little late to the incredible talent of the man and the consistent beauty of his music.
P**S
