Poolboy ain't been by

Last Jeff Buckley song for a while, I promise. It’s just so hard not to post these. They’re easier than writing real posts, and I have an incurable urge to share this music with everyone who will listen. How did Jeff manage to inspire that in people? Crack that nut, and you’ll make millions.

I have no idea when or where this show was recorded, but Jeff ended up behind the drums and gave us a new blues standard with The White Man Troubles. It’s fantastic that this made it to tape for us today, but I’m a little sad when I think about what things never made it to tape to be passed on today. What’s the lesson to be learned? Bootleg everything? Go out and see live music before your favorite artists don’t play anymore? I’m voting for “Move to Tibet and become a chanting monk”.
