Live à L’Olympia

Live à L'Olympia is a concert album by Jeff Buckley, released on 3 July 2001 by Columbia. It arrived after his death in 1997 and was the second posthumous live record to appear, in a catalogue where Grace (1994) remains his only finished studio album. The tracks are drawn from two nights at the Paris Olympia, played with his band on 6 and 7 July 1995.

The setting matters. Buckley was well regarded in France, and had just been awarded the Grand Prix International du Disque, so the crowd was warmly on his side. He stops mid-song to talk to them, and his "Hallelujah" carries ad-libbed lyrics sparked by their enthusiasm. He also takes on Nina Simone's "That's All I Ask". The disc closes with a rarity: "What Will You Say", a duet with the Azerbaijani mugham singer Alim Qasimov, recorded at a sacred music festival later that month, with the two trading vocal lines over guitar and daf drum.
