I keep coming back to this one. I became a bit of a Tim Buckley obsessive for awhile, until I forced myself to move on. But when I do come back to the magic, it's to this album. I do have one complaint with iTunes in the way the songs are listed. Rather than numbering them sequentially, or listing the first CD first, followed by the second, iTunes alternates between the two CDs, and in the wrong order, so it appears that Love from Room 109 is he first song when it's actually the first song on the second CD ... and so forth down the line. They used to do it correctly; I don't know how or why the screwed it up since then.

Pleasant Street is beyond description. The studio version of Pleasant Street is awesom in its own right, and this version that segues into You Keep Me Hanging on is breath-taking. Shades of Alejandro Escavado's live version of The Big One Oh that turns into Foggy Notion and and Bob Marley... there is a trance inducing quality to Tim Buckley that brings to mind Persian singers and Lysergic Acid

Belongs in every music fan's library.. "Dream Letter" is not only the finest album in Tim Buckley's catalog, but one of the best live albums by any artist, period. It's hard to believe this was recorded in '68; it's clear and bright, and the versions of songs Tim recorded before and after this performance ("Dolphins", especially) are far better than the studio versions. This is a lost classic that deserves to be heard by anyone who enjoys folk, or anyone who wants to hear one of the great voices of the 60s in peak form.

FANTASTIC Live cd. Tim Buckley was a true music genius. His songs were/are incredibly well-written, to a point where you find yourself pondering ,"How does someone come up with stuff like this?". Buckley's remarkable gift for music is evident in all of his works, something which 99.9% of the music community cannot claim. But what is special about Buckley, in particular and I must admit what I love most about his music, is in his live recordings, where his dedication comes alive and you're rpetty much left spellbounded. I adore to bits, ("Love from Room 109/Strange Feelin'")which is two songs merged into one, like the majority of the songs on this album. ("Pleasant Street/You Keep Me Hanging"), ("Carnival Song/ Hi Lily Hi Lo"), ("Dream Letter/Happy Time"), and ("Wayfaring Stranger/ You Got Me Runnin'"). The combinations made between each of these songs is without words, one of a kind, for each song fits so smoothly with the other, it's difficult to tell if both are actually two different songs. It's a shame he was lost at such a young age, because it's inevitable if he was still alive, would have continued to produce at such a high-quality as he did. This is far perhaps, the best live recording collection that is available to the publc.

Sublimely passionate. "Dream Letter" is Tim Buckley at his stripped-down, earnest best, his beautifully, achingly golden voice captured in an extraordinarily intimate recording free of artifice. Amazing for 1968. The track "The Earth Is Broken" is devastating and as topical and fresh to hear today as it was then, and "Hallucinations" even more heartbreaking sung outside the studio. His experimentations on albums after "Happy Sad" (apparently not available on iTunes, nor his breakthrough previous record, "Goodbye and Hello") were brave and uncompromising but often an acquired taste. "Dream Letter" towers above them all and places Buckley among the most gifted talents to emerge in the '60s. Sample through and hear for yourself.
