The records are the latest in a series of live albums released since Buckley’s death. The last – ‘Live At The Folklore Center 1967’ – was put out in 2009. A compilation called ‘Wings: The Complete Singles 1966-1974’, meanwhile, was released last year.

In 2005, a tribute album entitled ‘Dream Brother: The Songs Of Tim and Jeff Buckley’ was released. It featured a variety of artists covering the father and son’s songs, including The Magic Numbers, Sufjan Stevens, Micah P. Hinson and more.

Tim Buckley’s son Jeff also died prematurely. He drowned while swimming in Wolf River Harbor, Michigan in 1997.
