Amid the ongoing deification of Buckley, it’s easy to ignore the man’s inherent daftness. On this 30-minute doc (bundled with the remastered Grace LP) it blazes to the fore as he goofs around the Bearsville studio and woods and contrives quotes that hover uncertainly between pretension and piss-take. Live clips emphasise his greatness. Stolid testimonies from his bandmates, in contrast, provide scant new insight.
