This performance is no doubt one of the best I've seen on YouTube by any artist. I have a feeling this song might have been on Jeff's second album. It's such a powerful song! And so personal too, so he might have chosen not to include it after all: "Father do you hear me? Do you know me? Do you even care?" I wish we could find out. The falsetto starting at about 5:27 sends chills to my spine! Thank you so much for uploading this and all the other Jeff videos! I couldn't watch them enough times.
@moccasiini This is my favourite version of this song. Unfortunately, Jeff never recorded this in the studio, all of the versions are live. He would never have recorded it on his second album. As he said "I want to strip this whole thing away and start over". His intent was to create something completely different from Grace, and the few other songs that he and the band played while touring the album for 2 years.
Why is it, that whenever America births another talented musician, that they are taken from life at such a young age. RIP Jeff Buckley, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Robert Johnson, and Janis Joplin.
Do NOT let that twilight idiot play jeff in a movie, do they want to distroy jeffs image, everyone should come together and go against robert, james franco, or no bio pic
the fact he was and is so underrated is really amazing. I don't understand why, he's handsome, sings like the son of god and evil and wrote original and beautiful songs... sometimes I really don't understand what happens...
This guy's voice makes American Idol look like the little leagues!!! I love Jeff's music so much, I was refered to him by a fellow YouTuber and I've been a fan ever since!!! RIP Jeff Buckley!!!
where can i find a studio version of this song?? its simply perfect! i need to be able to hear it constantly! did he ever record it into a cd or something?
@andresbejar There is no studioversion of this song. I would recommend the live at Glastonbury 1995 version. Superb audioquality and a divine performance!
the sign of an incredible performance is not that the crowd cheers and yawps in admiration or excitement, but rather they are silent and in complete awe.
@txnygotw They are not indifferent ...but dumbstruck like they've been blinded like deers in headlights. The light...the energy from this man ...the heat. The question is have you been mystified, mesmerised, hypnotized.....Have yoy been Jeffed...your life will never be the same. Have you heard Dido's Lament....He sang his own Requiem.
the beautiful thing is.. he touches each of us in our own way. sooo majestic. but his greatest gift to us: he has shown us the beauty of life, seize your life!! live beautifully !!
why did you have to leave so soon my little clever,beautiful,sensitive heartbreaking boy?what am i going to do now?listen to this bloody video for the rest of my life?and how many more tears are there for me to choke back?ha?
Jeff Buckley was truly an artists musician. I show this to my non artistic friends, they think its crap. Only a few of us hear Jeff for what he truly was...I feel bad when a friend doesn't hear what i hear...Perfection.
One of the greats!!
