  • Sorry, Nina Simone kills it, but Jeff's a close second... Love it.

  • elkie still bestttttt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • his guitar tones are so haunting. not to mention that boyish unyielding spacious voice. i often think of the morning i found jeff buckley. i was 14. he changed my life.

  • it was clear, he said, he wish he wrote the song.

  • @GloomyGirl31 He didn't write the song. The version for me, is by Elkie Brooks, great voice.

  • Jeff had a way of "resting" in some of the songs he performed, I think, and it seems very organic in a way, like it just flowed from every part of him. And it's so fantastic to hear him perform this for 6 minutes, and it's not rushed or forced, it just is. Ah, I can't really explain, but I'm sure you get me.

  • DIS ONLY GETS 77000 VIEWS AND JUSTIN BEAVER GETS 350 MILLION SOOOOOOO UNJUST

  • shivers shivers and tears

  • His Album "Grace" is one of the best in the world. I love every single song on it. I miss you, Jeff!

  • It gives me shivers down my spine... amazing! Jeff Buckley ROCKS!

  • Elkie Brooks in concert is the biz.

  • @slickwillie1947 Totally agree , to hear Elkie Brooks sing this in concert is amazing.

  • This is all the proof I need. Bless Jeff Buckley, bless him.

  • Adoro la sua voce...è un qualcosa di meraviglioso. E' come una medicina.

    Aiuta sempre, anche nei momenti più difficili...lo ascolto da circa 6 anni e non mi ha mai abbandonato. Manca moltissimo alla musica una voce del genere, ma soprattutto, manca un uomo come lui. Rest in peace Jeff :')

  • Nothing left to say..just close your eyes and cry. how i miss him,his music... the world wasn't the right place for him...maybe heaven is. rare talent. one of the best..

    god, when i hear this...a voice like an angel...and this emotion...beautiful perfection.

  • Elkie Brooks does a great version.The only version with chart success.

  • thanks for uploading this!!!!

  • i cried for days and days and days when he died

  • ... only .. .feeling .

  • Its interesting how much someone dying too soon can effect you, especially if you yearn to hear more...

  • Such an awe-inspiring talent deserves better than cliches.... but I can't help but think that the flame that shines twice as bright, burns half as long.... And how very brightly you shone, Jeff. You will always be missed :)

  • happy birthday jeff

  • Adoro questo genere Ciao Jeff.....by Italy

  • @benia88 finalmente un commento di qualche italiano, vedo sempre i commenti sperando che qualcuno mi stupisca facendomi capire che chi ascolta buona musica in Italia c'è ancora, ciao, scusa per l'intrusione ma dovevo proprio!

  • @AndryMinimal Non sembra ma di nascosto ritoriamo ad ascoltare la vera musica. Hai fatto bene a scrivermi :D se vuoi ti lascio visitare il mio canale personale, scrivi: ButtonWhite.. Grazie a presto

  • This is is so sad. Can you listen to this and not cry. I love all his song.

  • I miss you Violet.

  • I miss the time... I spent in Berlin.

  • No one has ever, nor perhaps anyone will ever channel music like Jeff did. At least no one that I know of. It's unbelievable. It's like he couldn't die, didn't die.

  • Watch this ...love D&G x

  • How does he do it? every performance, he weaves some kind of MAGIC, enchants the audience, and makes me feel each word go straight to my soul, for me HE IS THE MUSIC!

  • Jeff is the only artist I have ever heard who never does the same song twice live. This guy just let the music flow through him each performance, each song .....something different came out every time and it was always beautiful. One of the few artists in the history of music who was TRULY connected intimately with music

  • I never knew what TRUE and raw beauty was, until I heard Jeff Buckley's voice, understood his lyrics, was enchanted by his music and was blessed by his soul.

  • great talent, a deeper level of truth in he's voice .

  • great voice!!

  • this is pure poetry...

  • This version has simply melted me tonight thanks. Raising a toast to the memory of a legend that left way to soon.

  • incredible artistry

    i know no one comes close to this level but i think this album kind of sounds like him: cdbaby.com/cd/branthooks, theres also a full song clip on my channel

  • He sang from so way down deep, you could feel it in each word...

  • damn jeff was the truth

  • To hear Elkie Brooks sing this in concert is amazing.

  • bewitching

  • amazing!!! just brilliant jeff!! xo

  • Elkie Brooks singing this in concert IS amazing !!!!

  • So, Jeff says, " ... I wish I wrote."

    Who did?

    Why haven't I come across this before? It's rather good!

  • @nolicnotrut Written by "J. Shelton, was a U.K. hit for Elkie Brooks in 1978.

  • @farttart00000 That helps, thank you.

    1978 - that makes it almost folk music!

  • @nolicnotrut Folk music ???? Folk music is been written today. Blues and Soul music goes back MUCH more. Guess you need to get an education regarding music.

  • @nolicnotrut I embrace any 'education', so thank you.

    I disagree. If it's been 'written today', it might be in a folk style, but it's NOT folk music until it has entered the communal consciousness through oral transmission.

    I take your point about blues, but soul is a relatively recent commercial product.

    That does not mean that it's not good. It just needs to gestate for a generation-or-so before it becomes genuine 'folk'.

  • "He's a good guy, you gotta be nice to him.."

    What was he talking about? time?

  • I Love some truly great music, but as a real "in the moment" performer, there is no better

  • brilliant. "lilac wine is sweet & heady like my love." (2:26). a mysterious, confusing thing this love to which we are are so drawn. jeff is not just signing lyrics that he's memorized. his performance is dripping with raw emotion dug from deep inside-- the difference between a good performance and a truly memorable performance. I miss your haunting voice and your passion Jeff.

  • JEFF BUCKLEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY LOL!O!LO!GKEH:!IHEOIH!OEIH!OIE­HO!IHEO!HBO:!B"EIB!"EIB!IERB OH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    NICEST OF THE NICEW

  • When Jeff Buckley was on muisically he could reach in the heart and minds and any human being alive. The military should go around in Iraq and Afganistan and play some of Jeff Buckley's most beautiful and sensitive songs on speakers. If I heard it I would drop my gun immediately and contemplate the real potential of the human animal....God bless Jeff Buckley, always god bless and my adorable mother.

  • @nat00ben06 You made me smile :) how come that Petraeus got the job and you didn't?

  • legendary!

  • Oh my god I'm getting chills

  • Pure Genius

  • i can die for this performance

  • So fragile and beautiful and sad at the same time... Poor Jeff.

  • love him evermore...

  • Whenever he's on stage he improvises everything - I've never seen that in a musician before, even Jimi Hendrix or Page stick to the guidelines but he just sings it and plays it how he wants whenever he wants to - SO talented.

  • 4:58 what is he saying here?

    Beautiful song, beautiful version.

    . . .Now that everything is so damn hazy, and that I feel unworthy for my love. . .

  • @dublomirova - I believe what he says @ 4:58 -

    "Oh how you tricked me... liquid... bastard"

    At least that's what I hear. Referring to the 'lilac wine'

  • @rschultes - Thank you so much for the explanation, my friend.

    : D

  • In my opinion, this is the best song of our loved Jeff. Never before he showed in a so intense way his awesome voce.

  • Jeff is a reminder of how unfair life is. Listening to his music is a catch 22 because it's facinatingly beautiful and passionate, almost addictive but his death is so upsetting. Jeff changed my life, he hit the nail on the head, in his music and his beliefs. Fantastic.

  • BEAUTIFUL!

  • porque one by one only the good die young

  • porque ele cara morreu!?!?!?! pq?

    pq? pq? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

  • A Roy Orbison type voice complete with range and pain. A voice that comes along well hardly ever.

  • There are tons and tons of good musicians nowadays, but a simple and pure talent like jeff's doesn't come down here so often.

    Thanks for the vid.

  • isn't that weird that I feel like i know him? He's like my best friend. He always have answers to my problems. He is the one who sings songs to calm me when I cry or feel depressed. I broke up with my girlfriend and he was there for me. I made a mistake and he was there to make me see what I did. How come a dead soul can be this closer than any living being to me?

  • @dolunaydainsanolan O man, I've been going through the same thing. It's crazy. I love this man.

  • he was a genius...

  • this just makes me cry, unbelievable how thismusic reachs my heart... I miss him, god I miss him...

  • @Catpotato Miss him so much....indeed....:(

  • @Catpotato god took him away... fuck god...

  • beautifully sung!!

  • His voice is incredible. It is sad that he died at such as a young age. He would have made it big.

  • @NornIron444 would have?

  • @NornIron444 he did.

  • @NornIron444 He did.

  • Elkie Brooks's version is worth a listen also !

  • no it's not

  • I am one of the fortunate ones who was there to witness his greatness. A once in a lifetime chance to feel that 'in-the-moment' energy. Incredible!!!

  • @poppyheads09 i know what you mean, those types of feelings that you might feel only once in a lifetime are near perfect. i wish i 'understood' how you feel though.

  • it blows my mind to think that only 1,200 people have watched this.....lucky us, i suppose.

  • 7k now!

  • Nina Simone is one of my favourite artists of all time, but I still think Jeff Buckley sings this song better. The emotion in his voice is incomparable! He was an amazing artist and a huge loss to the world of real music.x.x.x R.I.P.

  • Thank you SO SO SO much. i can't find a live version of this song, been looking for this for ages !!! thank you so much!

  • One of the best.

    I Love his Lilac Wine's version!
