This live album captures Jeff Buckley and band across two nights in Paris July 6th and 7th during his 1995 European tour in support of the release of his Grace album. Captured at the legendary Olympia, it found Buckley before a rapturous French crowd performing half of the songs from his beloved debut album (including favorites like 'Lover, You Should Have Come Over' and 'Hallelujah') plus covers as varied as the MC5's 'Kick Out the Jams,' a Led Zeppelin parody and songs made famous by Nina Simone and Edith Piaf. In addition, the album features an additional live performance of Buckley and Alim Qasimov in a competitive Qawwali singing duet from a festival of sacred music also captured that year in France. Originally released in 2001.

The tapes that comprise l'Olympia are, even by Buckley's own usually self-deprecating estimate, the finest display of his talent as a consummate performer. His concerts — and these two were no exception — were transcendent; blistering, overwhelming, and ecstatic, they bordered on the supernatural. However, he could also croon tender love songs, and was often hilarious... songs from his sole studio LP, Grace, as well as unreleased tracks and cover tunes, become entirely different entities, exploding and writhing with unrestrained passion, then calming in a solemn but reverential display of love and respect. In the end, l'Olympia is the best proof that Jeff Buckley's greatest legacy is his lust for life, dynamic personality, and — above all — his music.
-Bryan Carroll, AllMusic, 4/5
