tim buckley - blue melody

[lizazp92]

oh my god.. i´m crying, so beautiful

[simonjohnheath]

what happened to the reat of the video?

[MoonchildTheKing]

Best voice of all times,no one reaches the strings of my soul like him.He was not of this world.

[505telecaster]

Master piece !!!

[evelyneverettgreen]

wonderful... but i wish it was mixed differently- voice on top, trumpet down...

[gibsonkal]

No artist has ever made me feel so much emotion as Tim Buckley. There is something supernatural about him.

[49kasey]

The horn is too busy. Really ruins it for me.

[HeidiIvy]

I am addicted.

[birdtribes]

this live version i never heard it before...thank you ! Love Tim

[lemmingrrr]

dolce eroina

sei come una madre

mi allatti

con i tuoi capezzoli enormi

con il tuo seno sfuggente

tu eri cosi fiera di essere te stessa

mi sembri una scimmia

con quell anello al naso

probabilmente una vacca

[guillaumelabrot2000]

incroyable

[kakkoiimaru]

Irish people ftw

[finlan9]

@kakkoiimaru im irish! :)

[romanoke1]

Thank you.

[mimmerme]

what a voice to be immediately fall in this blues... brilliant and egzotic... thanks a lot

[enantiodromia3]

Too bad Jeff didn't have any kids- maybe they would've inherited the "Buckley voice."

[hangemhightom77]

@enantiodromia3 His son was Jeff Buckley.

[enantiodromia3]

@hangemhightom77 Yes, yes- but I said too bad JEFF didn't have any kids (at least none that I've heard of.) With Jeff's death, tragically, this beautiful vocal legacy died as well.

[subsamadhi]

Does anyone else notice that Tim Buckley puts more effort into his performance just doing an acoustic song than any modern performer does during any time in their pathetic careers? Just an observation.

[syd069]

@subsamadhi Thank God I am not the only one who thinks that way.

[melimuse11]

@subsamadhi

experiencing him live in concert was electrifying

[shuffledigfoot]

pure love of art and passion..never again will there be a tim buckley...

[richmarta]

The 60's and 70's... Tim Buckley... so cool. Left us way too soon. Good stuff.

[deansusky]

Please wake up people and hear what music was and is all about

??????

[julbez]

beautiful voice and man!

[christvswarhol]

tim mostly gets forgotten these days....he could be a master!!!!!!!!!!

[kevincold23]

boris the russion on trumpet :-)

[pungello]

ONE OF THE BEST SONGWRITERS EVER.

[julesyjiveby]

beautiful, but i think the trumpeter is a bit busy at times

[joaodomingos26]

Can someone send me the full gig?

And what gig is this?

[christvswarhol]

@joaodomingos26 I think its on a widely available dvd, cjoice of about two i think lol, most likely a tv appearance if memory serves me correctly. | very much doubt there are whole gigs out there but if there are be sure to correct me........

[dudemanwhoathe1st]

they totally shoulda had lee underwood play the piano instead of guitar. That's really where his skill is.

[borbetomagus]

If you've never heard the version of 'Blue Melody' from "Live at the Troubadour, 1969", I highly recommend it.

It's like this, but (thankfully) without the trumpet, and with better sound.

Thanks for posting this performance.

[TitsJuggernaut]

cot damn lee underwood with the clutch solo

[flclisfun]

The trumpet would be a nice touch, but he overdoes it and is too prominent in the mix

[JuanCarlosVejar]

well you are right , but i've heard Tim always changed things around he never played it the same twice .

[whitefeet1]

The trumpet's not on the album track - get hold of it somehow- it's beautiful....

[blackmore4]

That trumpet part needs massive editing! Like please be quiet for one solitary moment!! As Miles Davis would have said, "It's what you don't play".

[nachodaddy]

UTTERLY AGREED!!! He RUINS the song. Reminds me of every harmonica blower I ever met.

[mannybb]

So true, not enough space. He's taken the same approach with his wardrobe not surprisingly.

[roygranger]

I really like the trumpet in this, for me it adds far more than it detracts

[ptose]

great song, it reminds me of the theme of the Claude Thornhill's orchestra, Snowfall

[heydontworrybehappy]

Tim Buckley was such a sensitive and gifted musician. How sad that "sweet surrender" has been removed by Youtube.

[pfft1993]

Oh what you serious!? I've been looking for that video all over the place. Freaking Youtube deleting such a masterpiece (even though it didn't make sense). How truly sad.

[OscarLimaMike]

This is great but I can barely hear the audio...... too bad one of my favorite songs.

[Wormfarmergeorge]

This was wonderful to listen to. Every musician was into the melody and the bass line was heavenly. This was one of Tim's finer Folk/Jazz Fusion songs, although he had many.

[TitsJuggernaut]

lee's solo on this sick. one of the best

[whatladlee]

tim buckley vs paul rogers now that would be a boss battle of the voices lad!!!

[whatladlee]

the best always die , but the music never will , what a voice lad!

[timjmoran]

LOVEly tune.. really good playing, Except for the bass player, who is either Hopelessly lost, way out of tune, or Possibly both.

[oldbump]

I saw Tim many times in the 60's and 70's. I listen frequently.

[Lillogambino]

@oldbump hell of a time to be alive hum old man?

[boltstrike8]

@oldbump That's awesome! I must've died way too early and reincarnated not too long after cause I can't seem to understand most of the music today. Very few move me... I live for this time.

[lizziecohen]

So utterly tender and poignant... Tim's heart sings this song, and his voice comes along to prove it really happened.

Thank you for sharing this kind of beauty.

[bartonim]

He was so sadly gifted. Brilliant. Jeff was pretty good, too, but Tim had the edge.

[snarfyguy]

Super-nice vid quality on this one. I think the only other time I've seen it was on a a really washed-out looking bootleg DVD.

This will make the first time for me that anything has looked better on Youtube than on DVD.

[HappyFuriousMonkey]

Buy the DVD "My Fleeting House", if you haven't already got it.

[Secretool]

Thank you very much laupsek

Have a good night and greetings from Italy. :)

[Secretool]

Gorgeus!!

Please Laupsek, can you permit me to link this video on my facebook page?

Have a good night

[laupsek]

Yes, of course!

[Jovolution]

Genius

[superseyirci]

jeffs father

[sterfini]

great Tim Bucley .....fabolous musicians too

[theodorus45]

So beautiful!

[jerzyboi69]

Amazing to be able to relive this! Tremendous loss to the music world, but to have this video we can all share in Tim's genius! Thanks laupsek!

[TimBuckley1970]

i have the best name

[jbel1997]

such an awesome talent! check out a female's interpretation of this song Amanda Easton at Jeff & Tim Buckley Tribute Sydney on 19th November 2008

[zzzjjje]

what a voice !!

[123banieczka]

So, so soothing...

[NickOLarse999]

wow,,,intense

[TrippyLantern]

i love Tim but i hate how hard it is to find his albums in North America. the first music store I walked into in London had all his albums in spades. I envy europe's music scene.

[prouck]

really? i remember walking into a music store in portugal and buying is entire discography i one go.

[JimiHendrix574]

:-)

[stashpendoza]

Wow, so hard to find this song by Tim, thanx

[reininmusic]

I've seen Tim in 1974 at a Festival in Holland

This was great and I never forget.

[PHILIBOYLONDON78PH]

beautiful, what a legend. My dad grew up with it, passed it on to me, and i intend to do the same for my son one day. At 21 im thinking i wish music was still this good!

[bertbretherton]

I grew up with this. I hoped there would be many brave performers like Tim. The voice. The lyrics. The deep, lost in the music for its own sake, delivery. Then, along came Jeff to make an old man happy for a little while. Thank you for posting this typically risky version. Simply Tim singing a song for us.

[Kinotriter]

great reproduction, thanks.

[egvhamersveld]

a realise of this album please

[aargoldtakesflight]

NSharma, this performance of Blue Melody from Boboquivari is on the My Fleeting House DVD. The songs featuring the Starsailor era band are the highlight of the DVD.

[subsamadhi]

really amazing stuff

[kafkazepam]

Well, it's the mixing

[kafkazepam]

the trumpet sucks

[simontarassenko]

It's a flugelhorn, though...

[kafkazepam]

you're absolutely right (of course) - and oh, I feel ashame - I really do - still it sucks - in a way, doesn't it? - (I'm flushing (first time in front of my laptop)) - I think it's the mix - on the record it's much more in the background - it is maybe this very characteristic sound and timbre of the flugelhorn (!) "competing" with the characteristic sound and timbre of Tim Buckley that irritates me - thank you for this --- flush

[NSharma]

why is this not on the "my fleeting house" dvd?? i want my money back

:/

[karboking]

what a great solo lee underwood performs,, such a feeling is rare

[geomguy]

Thanks... loved tim back to 67....

[KMatteKudasaiC]

Bass is out of tune?

Anyone else notice that lol?

[CUNTGAFFLE]

yeah it's quite noticable.

But since this is the starsailor era here, it could be on purpose... lol

[MoonchildTheKing]

Probably best voice ever.

[scatterjim]

'Blue Melody' is an outstandng track on one of the greatest albums ever made, 'Blue Afternoon'. Unfortunately I don't think this is a great performance - the trumpet is too full-on, and where is conga player Carter "CC" Collins??

[subsamadhi]

this stuff is magic man.

[plecttrum]

fantastic video, thanks a lot.

[rezeski]

Wow... Buckley is one of the truly great artists of the last century... and this one of his greatest songs.

[timnlol]

Blue Afternoon was a fantastic album. Must put on "The River" soon.

[cavaseverino]

very gooooood...this is a voice...

[bohojo7]

Probably my favourite Tim Buckley song,and I've never seen this performance. Thanks very much for posting it.
