tim buckley - come here woman

[patdogfish]

Man he is SEXY!

[BlackSabbathory]

@CattailsandRoses actually, Tim wasn't an addict either.

[CattailsandRoses]

@BlackSabbathory Their life stories are so moving. I hope the movies that come out are authentic. You're right, addicts and chronic abusers build up a tolerance...so sad!

[BlackSabbathory]

@CattailsandRoses Most definitely. I'd rather just think of the brilliant music both made than anything else.

[jas1234321]

holy jesus. so this is where jeff gets it from!

[mikebott]

so enthralling... i just wish there were close-ups of lee underwood.

[JuniperMagpie107]

I can't get over the awesomeness of these reinterpretations. I was born in the wrong generation.

[hannah4440]

No designer clothes here!!! just pure talent, love it forever!!

[nikossokin66]

White man with black voice!

R.I.P. Tim

[UnionCityBlue1]

Wow. This guys the 'real' thing. I almost forgot what that sounded like. Sadly, everything good in this world has been hiajcked by corperations and monsters. Mr S. Cowel. Sony entertainment and Apple to name but a few. Too many people doing things for the wrong reasons and being rewarded with Fame & money. This guy has a soul.

[PixelPwner]

@UnionCityBlue1 well said,right on bro

[hand2gland]

Tim makes such difficult songs easy.

[BlackSabbathory]

I want a brown sweater now.

[xxwantedxx]

damn man i didn't realize till now how much tim and jeff sound a like vocal wise that is.

[CattailsandRoses]

his son Jeff changed things up like that,too--it gave his fans many different versions to enjoy after he was gone. They apparently met only once in their lives but have many beautiful similarities in their musical gifts.

[itisiCarlosdDwarf]

Are there mere mortals that look like this out there?

Tim was smokin hot.

[apwilliams30]

i like when buckley barks and makes animal noises

[FloydIV]

Here's a guy who just doesn't give a fuck

[CattailsandRoses]

@FloydIV fearless like his son Jeff--but Jeff wasn't an addict,just unlimited musically like his biological father.

[zlumpi]

@CattailsandRoses Tim wasn't an addict. Jeff also dabbled with heroin.

[ronrutherford]

I'm the person with no soul. Tim Buckley fan, not this though.

[nochenontubo]

From 4:53, we have 8 seconds of Jeff Buckley. Oh how I miss them both, musically speaking

[CattailsandRoses]

@nochenontubo you are so right about that vocalization there,thanks for pointing it out !!!

[BlackSabbathory]

I want a brown sweater now.

[HeidiIvy]

so much PASSION! LOVE IT!

[Ezsole]

i miss this!

[shavenraven1]

this feeds my soul

[wipers86]

does anyone know what the full name is to his guitar i know its a guild but what spot on make of guild is it

[mtut]

@wipers86 My understanding is that he had an F-212XL or F-412 early on and then had Guild make a custom model with some enhancements. There's some discussion of it in Lee Underwood's book (Tim's lead guitarist) if you want to know more... I don't remember all the details. Tim also sometimes played a Fender Electric XII (as on the Whistle Test videos). He had some sweet f---ing 12-strings, for sure.

[wipers86]

@mtut thnx for the feedback man

[KajetanChrumps]

Wow, I can't masturbate and scream as fast as he plays guitar and screams. Plus his facial expression around 3:00-3:05 is totally epic.

[katfaery]

@KajetanChrumps his manager called his singing style "vocal masturbation"

[BlackSabbathory]

@katfaery Buckley is most definitely vocal porn. Ridiculously amazing.

[ssaallttyyddaawwgg]

that was intense lmao @ the brown sweater comment

[touretteEd2]

That riff is so sexy. 5/4.

[fehrarce]

what an awfull music!!!!! like retards. I love good music, rock my favoutie, but this is unclasifyed. is so rare music, no sense, also jeff did so weird music. without a line.

[Ghoopty]

@fehrarce There's a SHITTON OF WORSE music than this out there. It is most definitely NOT retarded. I do prefer the studio version of this, but it's interesting to have an alternate version and to see Tim and his band perfroming live is precisely what's beautiful about YouTube.

[buschnic61]

All I can say is ICON

[oglioko]

wow this is the coolest thing i've ever seen! Tim rules!!

[enantiodromia3]

I've been a long time fan of Jeff but this is the first performance I've seen of his dad and.... holy s*&%t! ....the similarities are amazing. How sad, that both extremely talented musicians did not get the respect and attention they deserved during their time as musicians.

[InsidiousInside]

I guess fan of Jeff & Tim now! Pure talent, both of them. Dream Brothers indeed!

[InsidiousInside]

Just watched this as I'm a huge fan of Jeff Buckley (RIP), so thought I'd check out what daddy was like. Insane! This is awesome. Lose yourself in it kind of music. Digging the brown sweater haha. RIP dad Tim Buckley too :-(

[TheSegalman]

I had the great joy to see Timmy twice live in concert. Once at UMBC outside of Baltimore, 1968 i think, and in Richmond at VCU-1970 or so, if my memory serves me well. Both times i was so blown away we all just sat shocked at how great he was. we cried like babies when he died

[yufunk]

@TheSegalman what a great privilege...

[Ashvegian]

Psychedelic drugs + alcohol + women + raw talent  = Tim Buckley.

awesome, no one is better at what he does.

[HenryMiller17]

big bang, universe, milky way, solar system, earth, this gentleman playing the drums.

[s1ygirl]

What happened to his sweater? Did he go swimming in a hot spring in it? And those high faces he's making are amazing! lol I need to try whatever he's on for myself. Though I really love the bass players pants.

[narut13]

@s1ygirl I don't think you want any part in heroin. The sweaters he usually wears are most likely to hide the track marks as most jazz musicians used to do it and did the same. There is no doubt he was a genius in voice, and his music is brilliant, since it never was the same. RIP.

[spuffchops70]

Thank you for posting this footage, which documents my favourite phase of Tim's career (the smack-addled bit.) This is simply priceless, even if his sweater does need a wash..."Come Here Woman"?..."Come Hither & Attend To My Laundry", more like...I love his T.V. interview where he has a dig at the oil guzzlin' squares, man!

[Ezsole]

Tim wearing the cardigan backwards, is my second favorite sweater moment in music history , Mr Cobains unplugged cardigan number 1.

[persesse]

please,who are drummer ?

Thanks,

[pungello]

TIM BUCKLEY WAS A GENIUS

[katalukon]

Is he using finger picks here?

[mtut]

@katalukon  Just a flat pick and incredible stamina. You can't see the pick, but his hand movements are the tip off, and at some points he repositions it between verses. He did use finger and thumbpicks sometimes, just not here.

[marcoscotti]

Completely out of mind for 1970...

Great ideas inside, maybe not the best players to play with...

Lovely Tim...

[marquettefootball]

It makes me say "WTF?" and "HOLY **** is he good" at the same time. Seems like he was, for his whole way-too-short career, a brilliant work-in-progress.

[coolingitdown]

I beg to differ. Maury Baker (I hadn't realized he shared a last name with Ginger until you mentioned him) was a great drummer. I think he was delivering the jazzy goods Tim was looking for. Tim once yelled at Maury for settling into a regular 8-bar pattern and told him to never ever repeat himself. This clip shows he took the advice to heart.

This whole lineup backing Tim is good. They followed whatever whim he had while he was playing very well.

[JesusLovesGolf]

they could have got a better drummer than this ginger biker gypsy

[sammydaleo]

And THAT, kids, is how it is fucking done.

[tibbledrum]

Amen.

[Billie18Jean]

WOO! adore him..

[tibbledrum]

The interpretation of this song, as well as the intention, is so completely different, and in both instances amazing, that it shakes me. Tim was like a bard who would travel town to town and tell the same story, yet would change things often to make it not only different to his listeners, but to himself as well. He was a master of that. Bravo, and R.I.P., a true troubadour.

[foxnaif]

He goes so deep into himself it makes me shake, too: " ... like a powder keg and giving off sparks ..."

[padleynj]

@tibbledrum

it sounds like you have read his album liners...nothing original in your comment.

[VegaVelecka]

 Indeed, @tibbledrum, reminds me of medieval minstrels. Amazing voice, presence and personality.

[andrew19vato]

@VegaVelecka I prefer this version to the one on starsailor!

[nat00ben06]

jeff's interest and influences were much more wide ranging from Qwallii=sufi music from Pakistan to Purcells operatic aria Dido's lament to Led Zepplin and Bob Dylan. So much more I perferred the son but the father was interesting and original.

[lambsheart]

it was called video editing years ago and probably still is.I,m changing my sweater as I type.

[foxnaif]

At 5:50 he's wearing a brown sweater but at 5:53 it's white! Only noticed because I've enjoyed this performance so many times.

[mannybb]

I was so blinded by the Green sweater I hardly noticed it.

[aspersive]

Bunk Gardner, ex-Mothers of Invention is in the offending green sweater!

[mannybb]

Sweater choice is forgiven MOI  and Frank were a class act.

[restlesspride666]

Falsetto high tenor Cs? Lol. :D Eh, still awesome. I know his falsetto was VERY strong.

[robwayne1000]

Some movie director should really think about getting James Franco to portray him in a film because he looks somewhat like Tim Buckley, at least i see it.

[lukeism2]

i actually think james franco looks more like jeff buckley

[andyf2280]

I thought the same especially in "milk" he's a dead ringer!!

[Charliemta]

Cool, offbeat song. I'm a Tim Buckley fan, but no disrespect intended, he looks a bit like Rod Serling (Twilight Zone host) in this one, LOL.

[xero1391]

this one's from Starsailor

[mmbarcos10]

father of the best

[mojo91pin]

in wich album was this song first released?

[niddiduhh]

whoops, TROUBADOUR.

[niddiduhh]

he is the quintessential troubador

[Wormfarmergeorge]

Jeff may have denied Tim, but at a genetic level he had no choice. Jeff's mom must have been very high rate too, like Tim's. Thirty five years later I'm still blown away by Tim, and Jeff's music has always fascinated me because of the inate vocal similarity to his Dad. They were a gift to the world spanning two generations.

[robertlaberge]

Tim is playing a Guild F512 12-string with double pickguard

(see why at 1:10 ) .

This is the top of the line model (with gold hardware).

[starpier]

what a voice!

[adamtriebs]

Jeff once said, when accused of stealing material from Tim, "The only thing I ever stole from my father was a fleeting glimpse."

[mark1800]

It's funny, I always found it hard to believe Jeff would ever have been influenced by Tim, but after watching this video, it's hard to believe Jeff could've never seen this and looked up to him... even down the way he moves his head when hitting the high notes is so similar

[vicpur]

Im sure his dad would of gladly given it to him anyway and been proud his son carried on his music

[mazrio128]

your a fucktard. You know that?

[Chipofthebass]

What makes you think that?

[ratboy555]

who in the world is the drummer!!???? Someone please tell me. He's awesome...

[simonxag]

Perhaps Maury Baker?

[filthyrecords]

Looks a bit like John Marshall (soft machine)

[foxnaif]

Yes. Yes. Yes. This performance let's me imagine what he must be like doing Sweet Surrender. Since Sweet Surrender doesn't seem to be available. This does nicely.

[bagbahbag]

Well, I can hear where Jeff got his voice from. Tim is amazing though.

[Goonyagoodthing1]

Him and Jeff were very alike, dnt ya tink...

[Ramentastic]

This guy has one of the most badass voices ever.

[HappyFuriousMonkey]

Haha, it's in 5/4 time. Oh, he changes it all the time. Ain't he smart.

But what an amazing voize. And amazing compositions.

He's from before my generation, but his music never dies, does it?

Wow, look at that drummer. Wonder what he's eaten.

[petedako]

Fantastic!

[buckleygeneration]

That drummer is seriously the most ridiculously looking man I have ever seen.

[07504201963]

the muzzy on him!

[Wisegeorge]

Oh man, Tim was a jazzy dude equal to Miles Davis. They were both so cool it took twenty years to see how great they were, still are. I like it a lot, thanks.

[balayresulcuk]

out of this world

[curdlemon]

this looks and sounds like a mind being wrung

[b0lly]

this is the hardest anybody has rocked while wearing a brown sweater.

[HappyFuriousMonkey]

Yeah.

Oh, no, this is quite jazzy. So he jazzed out. While wearing a brown sweater.

[MMAFan2211]

@b0lly lmao

[deanwil74]

@b0lly dont knok the brown sweater man could of been worse him wearing a tank top lol

[mussman717word]

@b0lly

Actually, I'd have to dispute that if you count the Cardigan that Kurt Cobain rocked during the Nirvana unplugged performance. Nobody beats Buckley, but it has to be a tie.

[tennytigers]

if u like4 this u will like any of his last 3 albums.

greetings from la

sefronia

look at the fool

however i luv his middle 3 albums

and enjoy his first 3.

and i luv his kid,what a gift he was to us old buckley fans.

[LoveMeLoveMyMusic]

This and other similar Buckley songs is one of the reasons he never made a commercial success out of his music. there are others like him in this respect spewing out avant garde rubbish. However is non experimental stuff is bordering on genius, take a look at Dolphins from the old grey whistle test!

[lesigint]

Who let you out of your cage?

[markuslagger]

@Derek Marten1983

Better listen to Britney Spears next time!

[DerekMarten1983]

1:12 to 3:08 is fucking absolutely terrible....

[shakeahand1]

Awesome.

[findingusernamesucks]

he's a good vocalist but I think his songwriting is more important because even if (and he might be) he was the best pop vocalist of all time he still isn't much in all the vocals ever done because pop vocals are totally untrained most times . . . compared to classical music and operatic vocalizing he is destroying his vocal chords . . .

[badreanimator]

From my own limited experience of vocal training Tim's technique seems healthy - his vibrato is healthy (good vocal cord closure and lack of flat tongue and tension at the tongue root) which also enables healthy change of register (apparent through Tim's healthy nasal resonance)and good chest and head voice. His jaw position is good enabling his soft palate to assume a high position (and no thin nasality). Some elements of his unique style may fatigue but would not destroy his vocal chords.

[watashiwanachodes]

wow u really destroyed "findingusernamesucks" i figure that he was just sayin and letting himself let carried away until he found this wall haha and he never saw it comin... nice review on tim's voice btw

[findingusernamesucks]

I mean I like Tim as much as the next gentleman but let's not ignore his faults just because of who he is. I just heard a lot of hype about his vocals and he is good just not unheard of.

[findingusernamesucks]

"destroyed"? hah. If you insist.

[wedweds]

fuck yeah you rock dude

[smellyinda]

This may be true. However, I don't think he lost any sleep over this matter.

[findingusernamesucks]

I don't recall ever saying he did lose sleep over it. Sadly though we won't ever know how his voice ended up from years of that strain.

[danger0usknowledge]

Was not happening that night.

[StMachreth]

easy to see where his son got it from

[disappearerer]

he had a great fucking voice

[mucaju1974]

what the fuck...my God

[berry9000]

Damn! Why do I always get the "This Video Is No Longer Available" notice when I look up TB performances?

[imghost]

Well, you only have to try again, click on "back" and then "forward". Sometimes the video crashes down, it is not downloading. By the way, this performance is a huge peak !

[imghost]

Sorry, I wanted to answer to berry9000.

[wrongstring]

he is the shit

[rufuspaulie]

Drummer is called Steve Clover

[mortcola]

Drummer is Maury Baker.

[generaal9]

Sorry, the drummer IS Steve Clover.

[shmak]

Amazing!!! Id asvise you all to read a book called Dream Letter:The music of Jeff and Tim Buckley. Amazing biography of Tim!!! In the period of Starsailor one of his "rules" in the band was that they never play the same part the same. So im pretty possitive this is a pure jam....

[DreamBrother86]

The book is called Dream Brother not Dream Letter. I'm reading it right now!

[shmak]

Yup, your right, sorry! Enjoy it! I loved it!!! Its very hard such good books as this one!

[imghost]

To shmak, "Dream Letter" is the name of a Tim's song and live album ("Dream Letter - Live In London 1968")... Very recommended too ! :o)

[imshadowynne]

I'm reading it right now too!

[lyyynn]

This man was a misunderstood genius,great jam!

[nasratfatty]

amazing performance

[subsamadhi]

you can tell the influence he would have on later experimental musicians like Sonic Youth and such. He really gave popular rock music a kick in the ass.

[bonepaper]

tim was 22 years old here. can you imagine? barely into his twenties and already making music that few artists outside of jazz could ever hope to come close to touching. this is quite different from the album version of "come here woman", so i think it's safe to say a healthy amount of improvisation was involved in the performance. the fact that "starsailor" hasn't been remastered and re-released is nothing short of criminal. it's one of the most fearlessly original albums ever made by anyone.

[ozkyles]

Well said...Glad to be in the company of fellow "Tim" followers

[Egoetego]

I-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e.

[fredaselli]

Thank you so much for posting this!! This is by far the best Tim Buckley video I've ever seen. Fantastic!

[TiboPINSARD]

Many many thanks ! I never thought I could watch this. Good version, good quality recording, Tim, Starsailor period... Incredible.

I wonder if other songs from this show have been recorded. Do you know, laupsek ?

[NSharma]

fantastic. but whats up with the volume? :(

[laupsek]

Have you tried the "high quality" option? This seemed a bit louder on my computer compared to the standard version.
