Where Grace ends, 'Live From The Bataclan' begins: 'Dream Brother', the only song to feature Jeff Buckley's band in full force on this EP - has heavier instrumentation here, and where it seems as if Jeff is oversinging in the middle and end sections, this just helps in the build up towards something special-sounding. From then onwards, it's just Jeff and his guitar, and in 'The Way Young Lovers Do' his guitar-playing has the crowd clapping along. However his vocal improvisation might split some - singing is his strength and here he shows if off in this song. I'm not a Jeff Buckley fan but I was impressed. Moving on, the 'Je N'en Connais Pas la Fin; Hymne a l'amour' medley has many a sweet melody, although when Jeff sings one of the French lines and the crowd erupt - to which he is taken aback - it makes it seems as if the audience are too easy to please. Not surprisingly, final song 'Hallelujah' stays fairly steady and slow, as it should, and as it quietly fades out, it draws a rapturous applause.
