The Peyote Radio Theatre Tour wrapped up back in the States a couple of days after this show, which is the final recording we have from the 75 or so dates the band played. And what a way to end a tour. This is an absolute cracker.

I've uploaded a bunch of Buckley shows, and it's not likely you'll want them all, but if you're trying to decide whether or not to grab a particular show, grab THIS one. This is one of my very favourites of the many shows I have, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Jeff is on fire, sharing all his influences in a flurry of mini-covers, teases and stories. Here, he explains "Dream Brother", makes goofy jokes, and tells you more about himself than he usually let slip in his interviews, where he was always guarded.

The opening warm-up alone contains three Led Zeppelin quotes, before moving on to James Brown and, finally, Vivaldi's Concerto in D before swooning into Chocolate. I could go on and on, but just grab it and listen to it yourself.

I originally got this from a 2005 Dime upload from user francodiehur (thanks!!). It came with all the little 'quotes' broken off into separate tracks, and with levels that were all over the place, making the dialogue incomprehensible at times. I boosted the levels of the dialogue and normalised all the files in Audacity about 15 years ago now, and no longer have my notes, but it sounds pretty OK to me. I don't remaster shows as a rule, so this is a rare occasion when I tried. I hope you enjoy it.
