Live À L'Olympia is a

ad-libbed lyrics in response to their enthusiasm. The album also features a version of a song from Nina Simone's repertoire, "That's All I Ask". It is one of two versions of the song officially released, the other appearing on a three-track bonus disc issued with Australian copies of Buckley's Mystery White Boy
live album. Buckley played the song at various concerts on his 1995 European tour.

In addition to the Olympia concert material, the CD features a unique recorded version of "What Will You Say", performed as a duet with Azerbaijani Mugham singer Alim Qasimov. This recording is from the 1995 "Festival of Sacred Music" held in France (July 18, 1995 in Saint-Florent-Le-Vieil, Maine-et-Loire) and features just Buckley on guitar, Qasimov on daf drum and the two taking turns in singing in a competitive vocal performance, which is one aspect of traditional Qawwali.
