  • first time listening to Tim...been a Jeff fan for years. Very nice...completely different. I think its amazing that Jeff sounds nothing like him and has such a completely different musicality.

  • RIP Tim (28), Jeff (31). It's not fair...

  • like father..like son.  (beutiful) :)

  • Blood, Sweat and Tears did a great version of this one their first album, "Child is Father to the Man." Well worth looking for if you've never heard anything on the album.

  • going on my 2nd year since i've heard of the buckleys and im gonna make sure 70 yeras down the road people still know who they are.

  • Amazing song, thanks Laupsek!

  • Love Tim Buckley -- especially his cover of "Sally Go Round the Roses," where his voice and range is really displayed. Anyone who wants more of this type of singing will enjoy Turley Richards -- his music is on YouTube -- and he too was a Warner Bros recording artist in the 70's & was a multi-octave singer. Listen, judge for yourself if Turley wasn't cut from the same cloth as Tim. Listen to "I Heard the Voice of Jesus," first. Sounds like he could have been Buckley's brother.

  • I adore this piece. Am I the only one that feels melancholy after listening? It might just be me, I discovered Tim in a pretty dark time.

  • @Tengent no it's not you, most of his music is pretty sad

  • @SimMaster When I play his music, it's an extremely cathartic experience. Very beautiful, though.

  • Lonesome angel left behind another lonesome one and it goes on.....sleep well!

  • If you love Mr. Buckely you might like The Italian School of Poison

  • He was an angel

  • I love the way he articulates... What a mouth. :)

  • imagine the harmonies tim and jeff could of done

  • what a beautiful soul....

  • Anyone know if that is the same Danny Thompson on Double Bass as later played with John Martyn??

  • @mcyrhul Yep that's him, was in Pentangle too.

  • My god, talk about like father like son!

  • Breathtaking

    

  • What agreat pleasure to be taken to "that place" by singers and songs ie Mr buckley,glad i was born when i was,yes to our generation.

  • This was a favourit after the first 30 seconds.

  • Has there ever been a more beautiful soulful singer than Tim? Why do all the good guys die young. Tim you are sadly missed and listening to this is so hard, yet comforting too. God bless Tim where ever you are.

  • TWO ARTISTS...FATHER AND SON....GONE

    

  • It really disnae get any better than that.....well apart fae maybe Song Tae the Siren. :-)

  • R.I.P. Tim................

  • lee underwood guitar, danny thompson bass, carter c.c. collins congas - that's a good "Line UP" !!!

  • such beauty.. and laid back brilliance on the outro

  • This is the voice.I Knew in the late 60's! Lots of the videos aren't him ! Fortunately, there are still some of us left who know the real ones !

  • @towne777 do you mean lots of the videos don`t do him justice? as in his sound was better live, just wonderin

  • Hobo love!

  • Will miss him to the end of my days. Sleep sweet Tim.

  • Its so good to know that some people have not forgotten Tim in the past 36 years, and that there are people, myself included, that have been lucky enough to discover him.

    Rest in Peace Tim.

    29 June 1975

  • I like the brotha... who looks like he could play more of an instrument in this song. : )

  • Tim Buckley was always someone i never set the bar for. He was always someone i was satisfied with, just as they were. He was always and still is someone i can come across any day, and know he's with me, speaking to me just for me. i don't know why i feel the way i do about Tim. as if he was always crashing at my place and milling around in a mindless mood, but i didn't mind how he acted. i just knew he wanted my attention and appreciation, and it satisfied me to be just that for him.

  • Danny Thompson (Pentangle) on contrebass...he played on first album of Nick Drake too

  • @martineden110 Quite interesting... Well, Drake's music belongs in a close kind, I suppose, but did not know this. Nice piece of info.

  • he looks so much like his son :)

  • Just so amazing song. 

  • 15 people are rich snobs. 

  • Both he and his son had AMAZING voices!!

  • One Word! AMAZING!! Love the guy & his music! He will be Remembered 100 years from now! People will still listen to his music.

  • amazing just pure raw talent !!

  • The first album but Blood Sweat and Tears, with al kooper and not the bloated guy sometime clayton thomas, has a good version of this too.

  • @11xzxzxz The first BST album w/Al Kooper has a good version... but FYI, it was sung by Steve Katz on that album, not Al Kooper...

  • @vootie99 Yeap I knew it was Katz. Katz, the dunce who wanted bloated clayton thomas up front.

  • @11xzxzxz Yeah... they threw out the guy who started the band! I have been an Al Kooper fan since the Blues Project...

  • @vootie99 et tu brukatz , I know Al is pretty sick guy and legally blind? Blues Project was great.

  • I was fortunate enough to see Tim in concert with (believe it or not) Rush and Rory Gallagher in 1974, shortly before he died. Amazing artist that ranks up there with the greatest.

  • @tp10488 Awesome!!! I bet that's a memory that will always occupy a special place in your brain. It's hard to believe he played with Rush...I forgot that Rush has been around since the 60s.

  • @mushroomagical - Yes, it is. Fact is, Rush had just released their first album and were unknown at the time. They were the opening act, with Buckley second and Rory Gallagher headlining. It was at this place called The Michigan Palace in downtown Detroit. I'm sure the venue is not there anymore.

  • @tp10488 so lucky my friend

  • Great version (thanx). Great artist. The only one I truly would have joined as a groupie ;)

  • if this was written today people would go nuts for it!!

  • How can 15 people dislike this?! It is so beautiful. They must be devoid of any soul!

  • its is so incredibly sad. He is really a true spirit of song and emotion, wich just grabbes you and don't let go. So much you gotta hear another...and another and another. But i just keep coming back for this one. I believe i reaches that simularity in people, most dont accept we have, but can feel, when he sings through music. Incredible! 1 love people!

  • Had this on an ELEKTRA compilation album in the 70,s. listening to it takes me right back there

  • Oh man, such a tune. Good old Danny Thompson on bass too. John Martyn's sparring partner. Thanks for posting. Beautiful. :-)

  • @quietlittlgrrl Derp, it's his dad.

  • so beautiful it makes me cry....

  • @HeidiIvy Can say that about most of Tim's songs :)

  • any relation to Jeff??

  • @quietlttlgrrl Yeah that would be his father.

  • @quietlttlgrrl

    It's Jeff's Dad. ;)

  • I DONT HAVE WORDS.

  • beautiful

  • the person who uploaded this deserves 1 dollar per hit !!!

  • Tim Buckley looks irish.

  • @Scoob505 His last name is BUCKLEY - not Scallapeni or Goldberg. What did you expect? I would bet he's just a little Irish-- like all good people.

  • @LMUDewey I think his parents were both from Cork.

  • @Scoob505 His grandparents were, I think.

  • This is one of those songs that stopped me dead in my tracks the first time I heard it. I was in a music store in Houston (probably summer of '69) and they were playing it. I don't think I took a breath until it was over, then went up and asked who it was. At the time I had almost no money and nothing on which to play a record, but I bought it anyhow. The man was a genius. Sad loss.

  • It seems his son!! Great song.

  • Not even Tim could perform the song better than it was done on the original album. Good job though.

  • beautifull, just beautifull

  • amazing

  • what a great program. the bbc has an incomparable archive and most of it has been lost, destroyed or taped over. it's lovely that we still have this, though.

  • Oh thank you so much for posting this. It is so beautiful.

  • The best.

    

  • The best.

  • magnifique! thanks!

  • Do you think Jeff's morning theft had anything to do with this song?

  • this is so powerful, so beautiful

  • Like father like son. Both gone too soon :(

  • @PopCultureSucks

    yeh it's sad

    tim was gona at 28 and jeff was gone at 30

    :(

    seriously?? it's just wrong :(

  • 12 persone succhiano

  • hi what year was this?

  • Raise up your hand if you typed 'Morning Glory' in the search looking for Oasis and you are here now. o/

  • Comment removed

  • This is so much better than the album version.

  • @ProcolHarum1967 no question about it. This is cleaner and far more soulful.

  • @ProcolHarum1967 I agree, though his whiter shade of pale is another symptom of poppy-power, n'est pas?

  • @ProcolHarum1967 somehow it's like that with a lot of tim buckley's stuff.

  • @ProcolHarum1967 This is a really good version, but the album version is superior for me...more emotional in every way.

  • @ProcolHarum1967 thats exactly what I was just thinking myself!

  • This isn't the album version is it? I wanted the version in this video in mp3 so bad, anyone know where can I google it?

  • @educassiano if you want the video, google.... freeyoutubedownloader.... if you have a mac... just put "freeyoutubedownloader for mac" into google, that should lead you in the right direction... for jsut the mp3 google/go to.... mp3ify.com .. for both of them just search the same song title as the youtube video... i dont usually respond to these, but for Tim Buckley i sure as hell will.

  • @bfitzpatrick1 ah, thx mate, I got the hole session he recorded from a zip file. but really, thx.

  • a generation (Jeff) made this even better. Haunting vocal quality

  • Sadly haunting voice, face and lyrics-I couldn't help but laugh about how absolutely bored the drummer looked.

  • I saw Tim Buckley when I was about 14-15 years old w/ Char;es :LLoyd at Toledo Univ in Ohio !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.. Tim Buckley asked for a ride to Ann Arbor for that night! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Great days. What can I say? I wish those day would come around again but i doubt it.

    Tim Buckley was a rare gift. Not my usual, but it was so honest and real.

  • I died when Tim died...

  • NICE, THOSE BUCKLEY BOYS HAD IT ALL!  BEAUTIFUL SINGERS, SONG WRITERS, AND GORGEOUS TO BOOT!! BOTH SADLY MISSED

  • The Beck-Page tandem is heard on the single "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" (a psychedelic rock highlight), though this featured Beck and Page on twin lead guitar, with John Paul Jones on bass: it was backed with "Psycho Daisies", which featured Beck on lead guitar and Page on bass

  • It's silly arguing between if Jeff or Tim was a better singer/musician.. yada yada yada. Both were great and it really boils down to personal opinion.

    My opinion definitely is that Jeff was a far greater musician and singer. Doesn't mean I don't like Tim.

  • @Svetsarkirurgen jeff made 1 record with 4 great songs....TIme made 7 full records with MANY great songs. wake up please.

  • @colorwheel777 Since when does quantity have anything to do with quality? And I speicifically pointed out that this argumentation is silly since there is no right or wrong, only opinion. The fact that you are trying to convey me by pointing out such an unisteresting thing as who made the most records makes me think you really are the one who needs to wake up.

    Peace

  • @nat00ben06 well you have your opinion, but the other artists´ opinon doesn´t matter. It´s all a matter of taste. I really love both Tim and Jeff, and I agree that Jeff had more of that "something". But you shouldn´t neglect the fact that Tim was as talented as Jeff, it´s just that Jeff is one of those artists that comes once every 20 years

  • @tweenboxyeah wow, you have it backwards. jeff would not have been a musician except for tim first off. also, opinion is the same thing as "taste" .

  • beauty, sheer beauty

  • how old the song is ? i <3 him its just peace 4 the heard

  • @fallindale It's from about 1967/1968 I think.

  • So beautifully phrased. Keeps me warm through the coming cold of winter.

  • I had never seen in images to Tim Buckley.I like it,but i think that the version of Al Kooper with his B,S,& Tears is still better.Simply unbeatable.

  • Thank you for sharing this gem. Troubadour supreme.

  • giving me those old driftin blues

  • absolutely beautiful!

  • my favorite Tim song EVER, its lush!

  • the best part at 1:55 when my man goes nuts on the hand chimes..Tim an all time fave..what an artist.

  • I loved to sit in my sister's little trailer in Soquel, CA... in the dark... listening to Tim.

  • this guy is figgin great his voice sounds like a dream lov it

  • Tim Buckley is a legend for those who appreciate poetry with music, a true artist who speaks of all the vivid joy and pain that the poet endures. He has been my favorite since the time I first heard his words live, in a small college auditoruim in Up State NY in 1968 .

    Thank you for the equal appreciation and posting this gem.

  • @dreamerstillable aww...l envy that experience so much. l love Tim.Sadly he died 17 years before l was born. His work is so profound.

    Love,Light,Peace.

  • Beautiful....thanks for posting..sharing,

  • few people can make the word "hobo" sound beautiful.

  • didn't nu any tim buckley

  • This is the best I've heard him do this :D Thank you for posting!

    Do you know if this is available on a DVD to purchase from the BBC?

  • Up there with Hendrix in terms of lost possibilities. A remarkable artist. The fame accorded hos son was nice to see. Jeff, however, did not come close to his father's genius. NB nice to see a young Danny Thompson on bass!

  • @Simonc1952 I don't think it's fair to compare Jeff and Tim, they were incredible in their own right; and both most definately genii.

  • @Simonc1952 You been smoking something stronger then weed, it's just the opposite although Tim had his own thing and his fans. Jeff was able to scorch the earth with his voice or make spring time bloom in a single moment. Ask Chris Cornell or Ben Harper or Jimmy Page or Brad Pitt give em a call they'll back me. Jeff voted 39th greatest voice of all time on the strength of 1 and a partial. I still liked Tim's songs.

  • @nat00ben06

    Jimmy Page? Last time I saw Jimmy Page he had just got hold of the deluxe version of Grace but agreed that the real tragedy was Tim's demise. Also never forget that Jimmy was the bass player for The Yerdbirds... What do bass players know? ;)

  • @Simonc1952 He wasn't the bass player.

  • the first time i ever heard tim buckley i was amazed RIP tim buckley

  • personally ii believe tim was murdered along with his equally gifted son.

    no disrespect to his familys memory of him,but come on,he was so amazing a spirit

    that sang onlyof love and understanding of his fellow man/woman.

    lennon,murdered,ghandi,murdere­d,say what you want,the truth will out.

  • @TheFreeman35 Who cares what you think! If you are really 36, as your web site says, you weren't even alive yet. He was three years older than me. Everyone who knew of him during his career, knew of his use of drugs and alcohol. I read everything about him, his music and had all of his albums during his short life. At any rate, who cares how he died anyway? He's gone and it's a great lost to us all!

  • Nat and Alex Wolff have such a great taste in music.

  • his voice is uncomparable he takes me away to places in the heart everytime....thanks for posting love him eternally

  • a great artist. 

  • Just think: had he lived TB could have turned into a Republican.

  • Great song but better by Blood Sweat and Tears. Sorry.

  • Comment removed

  • @davies511 I am more sorry for you .. your sorry collection of songs has tears coming to my eyes. Wow, man. And I do like this song a lot just wasn't into most of his stuff and Tim 's son couldn't write a good song as this.

  • I think that tim is much better than people so bored as Baez or Diamond, and also Dylan...

  • Listen to this mans message! Way ahead of his time in thought. He changed my life that was stuck in the downtrodden way of this world to the enlightened way of New Age thinking! Such a shame that like so many others of his time got into drugs and ended up oding .

  • @Ericel59 thats what we were told..do you believe everything your told?

    just a question,not an attack

    Namaste

  • On June 28, 1975, Buckley completed the last show of a tour in Dallas, Texas, playing to a sold-out venue with 1,800 people in attendance.[1] Buckley celebrated the culmination of the tour with a weekend of drinking with his band and friends, as was his normal routine. On June 29, 1975, after a spirited evening, in both the metaphorical and alcoholic sense, Buckley decided to accompany long-time friend Richard Keeling back to his house in the hope of obtaining some heroin.

  • @Ericel59 ditto ^

  • @TheFreeman35 After spending an hour or so at the house, Buckley, in his inebriated state, walked in on Keeling in flagrante delicto, causing an argument between the two.[1] Keeling, with the aim of placating him, handed Buckley a large dose of heroin and challenged him to "Go ahead, take it all". Given Buckley's contrary and rebellious nature, he duly snorted all the drug laid out for him.

  • @Ericel59 good copy n paste there

  • @TheFreeman35 Oh, so you like my copy/paste? It's for those, like you, who don't know how to use Goggle. If you still can't figure out how to search for information, I'd be happy to supply you with url links to info about him. Remember Goggle is your friend!

  • @Ericel59 googles a search engiine,moron,done with you and your blnkered views.tattybyes

  • @Ericel59 and yep,google is a friend to those who know how to use it..try reading a book sometime..i would suggest the anti terrorist handbook,you may be able to get a copy of it over there in lalaland,thats if your not too busy copying n pastng stuff other folks have wrote..toodles,you bore me more than i can express,which is shocking cos im fuckn awesome at expressng myself.

    good luck.

  • @TheFreeman35 Upon his return home, his wife Judy, seeing his inebriated state, laid him down on a pillow on their living room floor and proceeded to question his friends as to what had happened.[4] Soon Judy moved Buckley into bed. Checking on him later, she found he had turned blue and was no longer breathing. Attempts by friends and paramedics to revive him were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead on arrival

  • @TheFreeman35 Having diligently controlled his drug habit while on the road, his tolerance was lowered, and the combination of the drugs he took mixed with the amount of alcohol he had consumed throughout the day was too much. The coroner's report by Dr. Joseph H. Choi stated that he died at 9:42pm, June 29, 1975, from "acute heroin/morphine and ethanol intoxication due to inhalation and ingestion of overdose".

  • @Ericel59 oh,so that neatly explains it all then,no conspiracy there then eh.

    poor fella..etc etc.. *looks wryly at you*

  • Honestly people, listen to this mans message! Way ahead of his time in thought. He changed my life that was stuck in the downtrodden way of this world to the enlightened way of New Age thinking!

  • I can't find anything on U tube , that has Tim Buckley singing his Amazing tune " Look at The Fool'' someone please do this .

  • A poet that died before he was finished. What a loss to us!

  • You can see where Jeff got his talent and voice from... Great song.

  • What a find. Thank you.

    xxxx

  • Fantastic!

  • I am facinated by the song and especally in awe of the photography considering the time peaiod. That just too Good X 2 !

  • Amazing; hope there's more footage out there somewhere.

  • I can't help but notice people leaving comments with opinions like "Jeff Buckley is way better than Tim". They are two completely different musicians and none of them is better than the other. You can prefer one over another but the truth is they are just as impacting as each other. I would have loved to see them do something together. My opinion of course.

  • yes that wud be cool... but tim did crack instead

    .

    .

    .

    bad times

  • If you mean crack as in voice crack then all I have to say is that he put that to use. Yea sure he messes up but covers it in a good way and I like it. Tim wouldn't be Tim without it. Thats just a personal preference.

  • I love Tim Buckley. Much better than Jeff. Moves me, entirely

  • No way

    Jeff Buckley was way better

  • @boomergaty

    actually there is no question here. every professional singer knows that Tim Buckley was the best singer all time. Jeff was good, but nothing compares to the father. you need only your ears to get it, nothing else.

  • He reminds me of Bob dylan.. xD

  • It's amazing how much Jeff looks just like his daddy!

  • Just fantastic.  Thank you for putting this video on you tube. Tim Buckley should be more famous for his voice and his wonderful

    songs.

  • awesome...just awesome !!

    Cheena

  • ive been listening to jeff buckly 4 6 months and didnt even no his dad was tim buckly i fail

  • he too lookes like james franco...

  • i know eh...i was just think the same thing
