Jeff Buckley- What will you say -live in Glastonbury

[tikihead2008]

I always thought they should make a Jeff Buckley movie with James Franco as Jeff, spitting image, even kind of sounds like him.

[JeffBuckleyz]

He looks a lot like Tim here... Thanks for posting

[fingletoad]

heartbreaking...........an angel....thank you

[Naybot9]

Fantastic version. The note he hits at 6.48 is insane! RIP Jeff X

[fingletoad]

the BEST! thank you, Jeff is sorely missed.

[TheYogiBunnie]

@DonnyW9 LOL I love your comment. Your second sentence is such a classy way of acknowledging that our world is full of idiots.

[NathFilms]

legend

[neil1963creed]

@DonnyW9 NOPE!



[bingoblu]

what he say jto u jeff?

one of the most deep lyrics, have a good eternal life :)

[BlueMorningSong]

Jeff, you are air and you are life. Your words are captivating and your voice is majestic. You are the best therapy I know and you will always give me a reason to be better, do more with my life, and keep going. Your life was not in vain. I will always love you for what you've given to me greater than any money or anything else that is tangible in this world.

[flyingsmoke22]

Hello everyone. I uploaded this video with higher quality audio at watch?v=eitToZCeCi4, syncing it with the original mp3. I love this performance of What Will You Say...it's my favorite that I've heard and wanted to see it with more discernible audio.

[pedroribeir]

Thank you friend! this is precious!

[MRMATRONIC]

How the HELL had I not discovered this earlier?!?!? He is amazing! That voice...

[matsukatse]

my. f*cking. god. :O

[spannerwoman]

Sort of puts Beyonce's light show into fucking perspective, doesn't it? What an incredible performance. One man and his voice, no cabaret. Unbelievable talent.

[hand2gland]

@spannerwoman When u watch Beyonce u think fair enough she's a good performer and lets be honest a good voice, but then I listen to this after and Jeff has just got that other level, I swear his voice travels so far it wakes up God. I just hope that the sound from that concert has changed into a radio wave and is being picked up by some alien life somewhere and theyre all praying to their Buckley god.

[AidanMusik]

16 years ago today, RIP Scotty

[shazamwins]

holy CRAP.com

[drumtravelfun]

This is the kind of performance Musicians DREAM of doing.

[LadyStonecut]

One of the best live performances I have ever seen. Should be mpre video on this one.

[AshwinEAcharya]

R.O.F.L.M.O.A. @ 3:33 ... R.I.P. pure revolutionary. ♥

Ashwin

[Jordaddy35]

wow.. that note at 6:48 sent me to tears

[bolder2009]

I've gotta find decent quality footage of the whole Glastonbury performance. If anyone know where, get back at me.

[Fallingardor]

This might be my favorite live performance by a musician EVER. I get chills every time. Jeff was even a head of his time fashion wise. Look at all the rockers wearing V-neck under shirts now. Even in this video he was rocking the 2 pocket button down back in the 90s. Amazing guy.

[s1ygirl]

There was some serious magic happening there that day. Those people are blessed. Rest well friend, love you more every day.

[8ightbogs]

boo TO THE 7 PEOPLE out there who doesnt like this :( JEFF buckley was even praised by jimmy page and robert plant as pure talent. rip jeff buckley \m/

[HeidiIvy]

PURE PASSION UNMATCHED.........

[dergeileandi]

3:33 even jesus loved this performance..

[MrJazzat1]

Is this what heaven sounds like

[Fallingardor]

@MrJazza1 I sure as hell hope so.

[Svetsarkirurgen]

fucking mindblowing. what a genius

[tomgrantz]

So.Fuckin.Amazing.

[eruseron]

fuck. he never stops to amaze me

[hannah4440]

yeah, peerless and fearless that's our Jeff

[clayjammusic]

I watch this everyday! such a beautiful soul just incredible :) ... Oh and I love the vocal lick @ 4:22 .. such saying :) .... love you Jeff and miss you tremendously

[luv4allmusik]

It's funny because Jeff was one of the coolest cats to ever walk the planet, but even he looked a little nervous performing in front of this huge crowd at Glastonbury. But who wouldn't be? Jeff, you were, and will always be, peerless.

[BlueMorningSong]

I really like this, it's an inquisitive song, almost like a spiritual question. AND this performance gives me chills.

[beatleguy64]

love the tape on his guitar!

[plasmicmovies]

does anybody know where this song comes from. i am in love with this song but i don't know if it's a cover or an original. someone please!!!! fill me in.

[imkeylime]

@plasmicmovies Jeff co-wrote it with friends Chris Dowd (of Fishbone) and Carla Azar, I believe. Although the lyrics seem to fit Jeff's back story, Chris supposedly wrote them about his own experience. That's what I've read, anyhow. You can find live versions of WWYS on "Mystery White Boy" and "Grace Around the World" (but no studio recording) ...

[teemunknee]

Perfection starts @ 4:42

[chrisnatti]

my all time favorite Jeff Buckley song 

[FRANCAMENTE234]

People were hypnotized.

[drumtravelfun]

Un...fucking...real...

[Bamzoni241]

This has got to be one of my favorite live performances that I've ever seen of Jeff's. Something about this performance was different. The whole crown just stops and all they can do is listen. You can even so how Mike and the guys are feeling how powerful Jeff's voice is during this performance. And that wonderful crescendo in the middle of song, where you really hear his voice just really soar over everyone. He alone becomes this solid force that cuts through the air. Incredible...

[niallvan]

The last days of great 90's music.

[hannah4440]

jestoro93 can't quite agree with you, just check out jeffs grace in bearsville, all alone, mesmerising, the band is great though

[ledlizzy74]

@hannah4440 Exactly. Jeff was a one man band before he got signed. Just because he was a phenomenal singer and guitar player doesn't mean he purposefully tried to discredit & take attention away from his own group. Quite the contrary - Jeff always tried to get interviewers to talk to them, he also stood on the left side of the stage (not the center) to have the audience focus on everyone, and Jeff ALWAYS made a point to introduce each member individually at EVERY show they ever played together.

[Milaan222]

Yes but the Quallity is so bad that even Frank Zappa will look cute here

[rashflash]

@Milaan222 search for his images (Jeff Buckley) on google and i'm sure you'll change your mind lol!

[RandyJacksonable]

@rashflash Don't worry. I've seen the excellent Quality of the videos uploaded on his channel and Frank Zappa > Milaan222.

[symphonym560]

@rashflash LoL! I'm sure (s)he meant that Zappa look CUTE here, not BETTER than Jeff.. Are you in 5th grade or what?

[ledlizzy74]

@Milaan222 Nah, it's your failing eyesight. Frank Zappa wasn't a bad looking dude. Strong features can be charming.

[ScarlettPluto]

@Milaan222 I've got some pipes that need cleaning...maybe you could come and use your professional and well sought after skills round my drainage...

[DyingSID666]

@Milaan222 Type in Diva Zappa into google images, Frank must have had some premo juice brewing down their.

[funnyfacerful]

@Milaan222 hey! i reckon hes cute! :P i wouldve gone there...

[alabasterlou]

Only have known of Jeff for about 1 year and tried to find every performance I can via youtube...have never seen/felt/listened to another artist that evokes so much emotion with his music. It's definitely not for everyone...but when songs immediately bring tears to my eyes because I've never heard them before and think about what was lost...so tragic, but has truly been moving to find out and learn about his time creating

[Godessa9shrek]

Oh God. 

[coreyvdh]

look at mike just bashing away at those strings... if he could strum any harder he would...

the whole band is projecting an astronomical amount of energy here and i think it propels jeff's voice beyond even his normal capabilities. there is something extremely special about this particular performance, there's such depth here in many ways. more so than many of his other unbelievable live videos, they're all great, but we're incredibly grateful to have this one.

thank you so much Jeff.

[trumusichead]

@coreyvdh nice comment and nice videos dude

[jespero93]

jeff said that the band makes the leadsinger/artist great. i kind of agree with him. we cant forget how talented each and every one of his bandmembers were. i actually listen more to Matt's drums in this song than jeffs guitar or voice.

[bigadkins1969]

the man was an art machine i have never seen anything he did that wasnt perfect!great vid thx,

[s1ygirl]

I just keep coming back to this video over and over and over again. It is a stunning performance of WWYS. Breathtaking. Love you Jeff.

[hannah4440]

that so many people still don't know his name is a pity, that they don't know his VOICE is downright unbeliveable? GENIOUS!! MISS HIM EVERY DAY,

[Andybbe]

I bet Jeff was not the act they all came to see necessarily, but i'm pretty sure he was the one most of them were thinking about when they went home!

[mazrio128]

6:49..everybody, bear witness. Makes you wanna jump up in the air, pump your fists and let out a huge "f@ck yeah". Everything we love and miss....right there.

[Joetjoeppuntkom]

A fuckin' genius was singing and the crowd hardly seemed to notice at first.

Not untill Jeff really opened his mouth for some brilliant high pitched notes (1st wake up call at 04:44 and much more like at 06:47) the sleeping crowd finally realized for the first time of their seemingly uninteresting lives they experienced a true performancer. Please, let's play this piece over and over again !!!

[erasmusherzen]

legendary show, I shat myself watching it on tv.

[zacman182]

the flying buckleys are fucking insane. jesus.

[neil1963creed]

A genius like this dies in his 30's and Simon Cowell lives on? And they say good will triumph forever over evil ?

[rohan316]

@neil1963creed Jesus - murdered; Martin Luther King - murdered; Malcolm X - murdered; Gandhi - murdered; John Lennon - murdered; Reagan... wounded

[OneVenusMinute]

Bands nowadays just don't build up to the reveal like this, an example to follow for all performers, truly amazing.

[CrazyGerman08]

i once saw a cd for sale on amazon.com which was called JB live at glastonbury. went to buy but said manufacturer discontinued sale of product. GAY!!! it had all his glastonbury stuff, argh

[cbhitman1]

@CrazyGerman08 I'd give my left nut to have this entire concert on dvd

[s1ygirl]

@cbhitman1 I'd give your right AND left nut to have this entire concert on DVD...if I had nuts I'd be giving mine.

[s1ygirl]

Jeff makes you listen...he can be so soft so quiet that you just have to be still and really really listen and then he takes you to some amazingly high places...you just have to go for the ride. This is one lucky crowd. You live on with us all Jeff, miss you.

[SirMespompes]

Is the Jeff's guitar corner broken ? There is a black ribbon ...

[mindbodylightsound10]

@SirMespompes it's duct tape for his guitar strap

[memamohleleng]

You can bring one of the greats back from the dead, who will it be? Before Hendrix, before Lennon, yes even before John Denver, I know my choice. Lucky, lucky Glastonbury people. Thanks for posting this.

[thecrikster]

wow. 15 years on and still people are listening.

Go Jeff! :D

[utarefsonmetushelac]

JUST AWESOME!!!! XD

[OptikC]

At Glasto man, so surreal. He was a real person, but sometimes you can't help get sucked in by the mysticism. R.I.P

[slytown]

Jeff Buckley and Paul Westerberg owned 1995.

[drummermizike]

out of all the live performances of this song,his voice really shines in this one

[drummermizike]

such a great song.its funny cause its like his band even have to watch him

[Reach16]

Love you Jeff forever

[hanibou]

15 years ago today !!! And what a performance...

[crowneband]

This has to be the ultimate live performance ever! Long live buckley's memory!

[MsRedbelly]

This is great footage. I love the stillness of the crowd 'til they erupt @ the end.

Such a beautiful, moving song, & that voice!!!......in fact, the whole band sounds amazing.

For some reason, this is one of my favourite live footage clips of all time. So glad he got to perform to crowds of that size before he left. His father would be proud.

[thinkingevil]

As a complete Jeff Buckley aficionado and collector since the beginning, I've always found this particular performance (which I've had as a bootleg cassette for years) to be one of his most powerful and astonishing, both technically, professionally and emotionally. It's a slow build to it's final climax is masterful and pure. It's def one of the finest examples of his total musicianship and vocal prowess.

[sistersteel]

His music is truly a gift. He should be in the rock and roll hall of fame!! Love and adore Jeff Buckley..evermore XoX

[neil1963creed]

life don't get much better :)))

[TessieMaria]

Love this song!

[mikestar78]

@TessieMaria damn rightt

[YouLikeBosch]

6:50. Eat your heart out, American Idols.

[KateMonster761]

@YouLikeBosch THIS! That is my favorite part of the entire song.

[KateMonster761]

@YouLikeBosch THIS! My favorite part of the entire song, too. Just when you think it couldn't get any better, 6 minutes and 49 seconds pass...

[kellar]

There is something so sad in Jeffs eyes during this performance, especially at the end.

[kennyfitbell]

if you every get to embrace god and put your ear to his chest..his heart will sing jeffs music...his heart beat with sound his riffs and you will be at peace...

[bunnyhead71]

These people just sat through all those other acts..Then Jeff's set..They all look like they were hit with a brick of shock by how amazing this is..

[MsSissy076]

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou Jeff, you're my saviour xoxoxox

[MsSissy076]

Jeff Buckley was our modern Shakespeare, the bard of our time & if you don't understand, I suggest you take good, long look at threitinerary & then just enjoy the brilliance of the fucking music darling!!!!

[aquesantonio]

if there was one word to describe his moving presence i would have to say ethereal. heavenly. thanku jeff for saving my life

[ivor1977]

if only they knew...

[txnygotw]

O.M.F.G.

[VolvicApfelmann]

them lucky bastards! witnessing such an inspiring and beautiful spirit.

by the way i think jeff is one of the most unterrated guitarists of our time.

[Karlaker]

My new favorite JB song! :)

[Meta1Head91]

Some say a band is great if they get a crowd moving. Jeff makes people stop, look and listen. Boring crowd? No! They are mystified by his performance. The applause at the end is my only proof.

[cbhitman1]

@Meta1Head91 one of the best explanations of the power of Jeff's music I've heard

[YouLikeBosch]

So true, even Mick and Michael face him every time they play live.

[earnestbunny]

@Meta1Head91 Yep! It was truly the best gig I witnesssed that year... Possibly top 5 for me of all time.

[ScarlettPluto]

@Meta1Head91 Whoever says the crowd looks bored is failing at being a human and needs to be executed. Stalin style ;)

[MrSeaneriksson]

@Meta1Head91 indeed! except for that one guy at 5:04

[SW123456ful]

The world misses him always.

[TheDigitalMafia]

@SW123456ful sorry dude, I wasnt watching and clicked the wrong thumb, I agree with you about Jeff completely.

TDM

[nchune]

that song gives me chills everytime i hear it

[TheDisappearingOneTV]

WHAT A SONG !!!!!!!!!!!!

[neil1963creed]

the greatest live singer ever :)

what will you say ?

[YouLikeBosch]

I've never heard him hit that high note that perfectly in any other version. The only other version that comes close is the Sudhbanhoof version.

[siramour]

thats one regret I have, not ever being able too have seen him live. X he is such an inspiration :)

[TessieMaria]

He was and still is the best. I actually cry when I hear this song. His voice sings straight to my heart. I'm so sad because he's gone too soon; far too soon.

[softpastel]

I can't help but feel emotionally exhausted. This has got to be the best live performance I've seen of Jeff Buckley.

[neil1963creed]

@softpastel or anyone for that matter!

[neil1963creed]

I used to listen to what people had to say about Hendrix, Dylan, Springsteen etc etc and think how the f*** can you emulate those guys? Talent can only go so far....then Jeff came along.....enough said!

[shineraingrow]

absolute perfection.

[fingletoad]

No one better than Jeff........taken too soon, thanks for posting.......peace

[Kaknelson]

damn..does this ever make me think of my s0called dad who left me/seems this is the generation of single parent mothers raising their children, alone..l0ve you mama & i understand you father the more i get older. i've got such an affinity with you jeffery, with muchl0ve every1 !

[kuntyfuk]

he's soo good-looking, and yes i am a heterosexual man but for him i think i'd turn over onto my stomach.....

[adamdontdocoke]

lmfao, you're not the only one dude.

[jessesam]

u too

[jessesam]

ur def bicurious if not bi

[flanguy71]

@kuntyfuk

Thank God...I thought I was alone.

[ScarlettPluto]

@kuntyfuk What a comment to leave when thousands of people watch this. Smooth. Hope you've come to terms with your fanciful hetro sexiness.

[JayPleezer304]

@kuntyfuk Yo i think u shoulda kept that one to yourself. I think jeff would agree with me. Nevertheless, long live Jeff Buckley.

[kuntyfuk]

@JayPleezer304 please excuse me for trying to be humouress.....it was a joke idiot.."".jeff would agree with me" who are you ? his cousin or something....

[makaveli88888]

one of the best live performances of his iv cn ... is there a slighty better quality version must b???

[suck4cash]

andpyramids, j.buckleys mystery white boy album has a kick ass version of what will you say.

[Balajimes]

And on Live in Olympia :/ READ UP ON YO JEFF BUCKLEY ANDPYRAMIDS!

[neil1963creed]

I say again "genius" is such an over used word in the music industry but it is the only word to describe this man. he was just totally and utterly brilliant!!

[andpyramids]

God damn, it is unbelievably tragic that there is not a studio recording of this song...man...

[rubberting]

that crowd were in awe, and thats understandable.

[SiennaAsani]

Is this ain't rock n roll, I don't know what is.

[exc1t3r]

It's rock n' roll. It is. Don't worry. How do I know? I know because Jeff rocks! That's how I know.

[TheMrDobbins]

chris cornell now owns that rickenbacker

[RyQuin7850]

I'd rather him than any other musician in the world - he really loves Jeff.

[jespero93]

and i want it. its so awesome.

[Naytinfinity]

great song.

[CrazyGerman08]

i have a friend who saw him live twice... lucky bastard

[hotsuguarasec]

Jeff ...  Love Forever ...

[restlesspride666]

The crowd reminds me of Woodstock for some reason xD Great people...great music... would have loved to be there... and hear him... his presence... just feeling him there...would have been enough for me.

[rubysunshine7]

keep coming back...such soft warmth in those eyes... full heart in his voice... continue to be amazed and thankful

[timtimtimtim83]

I would have loved to see how he evolved as an artist... ;-(

[makaveli88888]

unbe fuckin lievible people wat more cn u say never b another noone today even comes close

[stormyandcold]

New track for me, very good!

[JodySeabodyWhirls]

mystified by the mystery white boy

[neil1963creed]

I think a high percentage there had never heard of him and were stunned into silence by the sheer brilliance of the man....until the end when they erupt into applause!

[OlbermannSucksDick]

First time I've ever seen a stadium full of people not jumping up and down, but just listening in amazement.

[mmbarcos10]

I love you jeff...

[aghkunaba]

WOW...this is awesome!!! thanks for posting

[orpahanedshadow]

that was amazing, i think its impossible to not be attracted to jeff buckley

[MissCaptainWeird]

[Reach16]

[superoceandy]

I was there watching! It brings back some great memories. Thanks for posting.

[rubysunshine7]

(i keep coming back and back...)

[neil1963creed]

if Carsberg did the greatest singer/songwriter/musician of all time ........

[rubysunshine7]

[dodeka]

does anyone know if he ever recorded a studio version?

[rashflash]

check your inbox :-)

[dupoisa200]

i want to ask the same? did he record a studio?

[rashflash]

he never recorded this in a studio. download 4 versions of the song via the download link in more info at the top!
