| The Hard Luck Tour 96. with Grifters as supporting band.
review excerpt of blog:
"Buckley came out to a silent stage and played about three songs, just himself and his guitar. By the time he sang Corpus Christi Carol I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. His voice...that voice. I doubt anyone who heard that voice live (and we were right at the front) will ever forget it. It sent chills up the spine and made the goosebumps rise. No man should have been blessed with a voice that pure, that good. It brought tears to the eyes. Still, as Buckley went through his music I composed myself and started to really enjoy the set. I'm sure the set as I remember it wasn't the same as has been officially recorded, but who cares? The memories are what I carry in these cases. Then it happened. He did the intro to the song Last Goodbye.
As the song started I turned to face my girlfriend - to this day I have no idea why I did. I have no idea why we did this at the same time, but as the song kicked in we both lifted, embraced each other and sang, only instead of singing like the rest of the crowd (singing because they were drunk on either booze or the atmosphere) we sang only to each other, without any of the exuberance or joy that people usually sing with at concerts. It was an embrace devoid of warmth, yet charged with emotion. I'd never had that before and I've never had it since."
