Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye 5/13 (Live in Chicago 1995)

[Stairwaytoheaven06]

"I am the lizard king I can do anything" ... love jeff's interpretation ! he's so funny !

[ihadmyspleentaken]

he's beautiful!

[nat00ben06]

When I saw Jeff in Austin, Tx in 94' (waterloo records) he was like all there was......nothing substantial existed till that moment in time and nothing has since he passed. So fuck the Mississippi/Wolf river dry up!

[topsinblued]

I love this man. Lucky angels. One of the greatest singer-songwriters of our time,..

[ElAbortionist]

I'm writing an essay on Buckley at the moment, and I keep getting these vids up to write about, and quickly stop paying attention to the words on the page.

[kissdoido]

man, this guy was a genius, a legend...

[dedradd]

i saw him live at l'olympia paris in 1995? ( i guess) i was a student back then, it wasn't always easy to be a long way from home ( I'm indonesian) although in paris..but i felt really blessed the first time i heard his music and to have watched him live.. i just can't forget those days.. never will

[fingletoad]

If that opening riff doesn't grab you, then..........thanks for posting! RIP Jeff.

[maneakararehe]

I get blown away every time he opens his mouth. he really draws emotion from the base of his soul, lets it pour from his mouth and caress your ears while making your heart jump erratically all over the place.

[hannah4440]

small stature, hugh talent, fantastic!!!! beautiful

[nat00ben06]

Ok, ok I'm laughing my ass off, got all you fooled. JB is probably my favorite artist in 94 I saw him in Austin,, Tx and was awe struck that was the voice I'd been waiting to hear all my life. So all you commented about how deranged I am peace, Scarlett is still hot though.

[TheAppleannie]

@nat00ben06 Fuck! no way! you saw him live!! i'm soo jealous!!!! i so wish i could see him live, but NO!

[kaostheo]

How big you were Jeff! Angel is not enough to calificate u!!

[dazzafett1]

Absolute class on a very tender stick!!!!

[avantgars]

no way...

this is the most

beautiful voice EVER!!!

[doclee974]

magnifique

[JimmyPageProject]

@nat00ben06 this "Jeff" guy is passable? jesus christ, get the fuck out here man...seriously, ur embarassing urself.

[maxdez92]

Whoever thinks scarlet johannsen did a better version than JB of his own song.. Deserves to die in a very big hole. Infested with rats. You've gotta be joking.

[superkenalmighty]

@nat00ben06 ... I agree. It takes a certain kind of humility to appreciate Johansson's cover. It's obvious the rest of these simpletons don't have that kind of artistic brilliance.

[nat00ben06]

@superkenalmighty finally here's someone who knows his onions, of course she's brilliant and this Jeff guy is passable. Geez brother that's what I've been trying to tell everyone.

[nat00ben06]

sulkyjim it's ok to slam me, I can take it! I told you this guy's ok I mean I wouldn't buy his record, and anyone that passes away at a young age sucks what a bummer, right? ScarJo has a voice like an angel she's just so expressive and beautiful, I'm sure if she ever met me and wanted to hangout she probably would want me as a boyfriend (fingers crossed).

[sulkyjim]

@nat00ben06 ... Well if its a contest as to who I would most like to wake up next to ... then you are right ! ! !

Best of luck with Scarlet !

[nat00ben06]

No I never joke....SJ"s my favorite (look at her so cute) she"s a ten, this guy is maytbe a five, period! SJ and I are the best from the north to the south, east to the west. Don't you get that?

[BilisNegra]

@nat00ben06 "SJ an I are the best" etc... That sounds so much like a teen Miley Cyrus fan... However your profile states you're in your forties. So, did you lie, naughty girl, or are you actually a no-longer-young person caught in your childhood¿¿??

[nat00ben06]

This guy is ok, but falls short of ScarJo's purity and close personal emotional attachment to this song.

[Queenrlz]

@nat00ben06 That's a funny joke... Scarlett Johansson's cover being better than JB's own song HAHA I gotta remember that one.

[anniewasbornfirst]

@nat00ben06 this guy is either deaf or retarded

[mart3442]

@nat00ben06 You are joking....aren't you?

[sulkyjim]

@nat00ben06

are you seriously suggesting that someone doing a cover version can have a closer personal attachment to a song than the person that wrote it ?!

Glad that someone as dumb as you won't be trying to pretend an interest in Jeff Buckley's real music and thus sullying the memory of one of musics saddest losses ! At least you have the honesty not to pretend to be anything other than an ignoramus !

[Jbucklew]

RIP J

[staci123player]

am gonna rewatch this dvd again

its one of the best dvds i've ever bought myself lol

:( it always makes me cry though

hes hot & talented and hes gone :( and il never get to see him live ever in my life booooooooooo :(

[lladsbid]

This song is better than Hallelujah, much better

[Thadigitalkid]

He didn't deserve to die, he sounds so innocent.

[baratz92]

Incredible voice!!!

[MrEisbein73]

the good ones takes the gods first

rip

[MrEisbein73]

the good ones takes the gods first

[reverend07]

Jeff Buckley is insane! what a voice, i mean damn!

[davidoffon]

This is stunningly emotive, I 'm reading a diary fom Ballykinlar Camp, in Northern Ireland, where I know my great Uncle was .Make that great great uncle, he was interned in 1921, by the Brites, I hoping to find an entry by him, to have Jeff doing battle in the background is one of those great coincidences, that life lives.

[davideleuzzi]

5 thumbs down !? ahahahahahah :))))  stupids or broken mouse?

[Jackerius17]

Gorgeous Rickenbacker. It makes me laugh how nineties those clothes are ahah :)

[MrBong213]

i know you're still rocking even in the afterlife, so, rock on man..

[lukeyzdabest]

i wish he was still alive. great entertainer!

[adrean83]

@lukeyzdabest

Hey entertaining for me at least means putting on a show or being someone other than yourself. I think Jeff's just being himself here. Entertaining or not.

[birdiesneagles]

5 people apparently don't like this...what are they on?

[ericlord821]

@birdiesneagles They're jealous that this guy somehow owns rights to this video.

[Pelevor]

Love Buckley

Despise the way this was edited

RIP

[oldpunkster]

It just makes me so sad to see him here, he was so amazing, he was beautiful and talented and died So young!!

[absolutemaze]

fucking amazing !

[Slmanson301]

I'm in my late 50s, and I just "discovered" this kid. In his genre, I've never heard anything like him. I've read articles claiming that his father, Tim, was a better singer, blah, blah, than Jeff. Everything I've heard of his father's puts me to sleep, and he had none of the the vocal courage that he son had. Man, talk about "...gone too soon." Oh, and this hasn't been mixed. I have a remarkable ear, and this piece was probably done before he was totally whipped.

[SoofB]

Oh my God, those last few notes - how, I mean, how?

[spandrhcpfan]

hahaha I have this cd, changed my music perspective ;P

[hansen6102]

Whoever hit "Dislike" on this is trolling, Seriously, you can't have a working pair of ears and honestly dislike this.

[stubbypeeps]

Did someone mix the f..k out of this, can't be live, can't be real! Jeff B rawks so fine, but this is not right!

[marvinmartinii]

love it..

[nerve2587]

i'd love to meet the 5 retards that didn't like this!!

[basilucano]

che meraviglia!

[meltedcandlewax]

This performance happened exactly one week before I was born! Wasn't even in the same world when this happened

[oeyvind93]

Jim Morrison var the Lizard King he could do Anything! Jeff Buckley was brilliant :D

[madblaa]

Unreal!

[avantgars]

the most wonderful voice ever!

[theodorus45]

@avantgars Very nice voice,but not as good as his father,Tim,by far the most beautiful voice ever.

[fenderfunk]

I'm a hetero male, but Jeff was so amazing even I would have fucked him.

[husthisshet]

even though im only 16 yrs old this band is my all time fav there one of a kind..

[deego86]

Jeff Buckley is all Love.

Makes your emotions run.

He's also got a good band supporting him!

[NoRulesInNam]

So much talent was lost in the 90s...

[magarnigle100]

Would have given my left nut to be there 

[bubhunter]

that's nuts

[aortegacristian]

rip jeff this day never exists

[edwardcg251]

one of my all time favorite song.

[mullamike]

Sadly, this song now fits perfectly for me

[menogay]

@mullamike bad times :(

[police0670]

perchè abbia voluto morire non si capirà mai.... la gente che dovrebbe morire non muore mai......

[KingMinosxxvi]

jeff is such a slut :P

[Tommiegas]

What the hell? 4 people disliked this.

[stillleftdreaming]

@Tommiegas has to be a mistake. they were trying to click like and accidentally clicked dislike. only explanation.

[fuzoon8]

one of my all time fav. songs, have been hooked on this song ever since I heard it

[mclainrose]

Vocals, a little eh here a little odd

[helenipoos]

Thank you:) for posting, this is one of the first things I saw of Jeff and all the hairs stood up on the back of my neck, I hadn't realised he wasn't with us anymore and cried and cried when I learnt the truth......does anyone know his father Tim Buckley, listen to him and you will see it was hereditary, Tim died young too from a heroin overdose....you can see where Jeff gets his feeling from:) x

[concacoconca]

@helenipoos Hey I don't mean disrespect but I'm sure Jeff would give you the fingers, yeah not just one but two, for saying he is like his father....I guess he was so damn original, and good, and put so much into his music he wouldn't take it to be compared to someone he didn't even met...anyway haha just saying

[Muziekproffesor]

Eh,well to be correct:he actually did met his father.When he was about i believe 7 jears old they actually spend a weekend together.Just to be correct for the facts,you know

[concacoconca]

@Muziekproffesor sure he did, but a weekend it's not long enough to say he had styled his act after his father...he kind of looked like him phisically, but his music style and his persona...he probably took more after Morrisey from the Smiths than his dad in the way he looked...just saying....but well really for me he is definetly his own person with most amazing tunes...

[Muziekproffesor]

Oh but hey,you're absolutely right.He definetly was his own person with his own unique style.What they did have in common was they both were amazingly vocalists.Just check out the amazingly Dream Letter: Live in London 1968

-album from Tim.Pure musical beauty.

[benjidavies1981]

this is our last embrace must i dream always see your face.cant teach that lol

[sahanagopaal]

i wish he was still alive so he could still be making beautiful music. seriously, i love him

[marmiteboy99]

Jeff Buckley was a genius.

[Mentaclink]

Everytime, when I'm listening a song of Jeff, I think : "His best song !".

But now I know, he hasn't got a BEST song. Every songs of him are better than another. It's fabulous.

(Sorry for mistakes, I'm French T_T)

[helenipoos]

@Mentaclink no mistakes sweetie, your english is very much better than my french...J'habite Sheffield lol! x

[Mentaclink]

@helenipoos lol, you can say "J'habite a Sheffield" ;)

[DonzeJ]

Never loses it effect no matter how many times you hear it. One of the best songs ever, so sad his career ended so quickly.

[aquesantonio]

damn straight

[s3ll3na3]

i remember the first time i heard him .. he is the only artist that i loved first audition .. and now he is one of my favorites

[TheMrDobbins]

love the gaffa taped on strap

[TheMrDobbins]

some dodgy editing at 0:25!

[jzone2k]

i always feel like in a trans when listening to this song.. just awesome \m/

[ryanthethird]

The part from 0:00 - 4:33 is Epic.

[C18Gold]

Lol

[taimylikecurry]

yeah i like that part

[xtrftw]

@ryanthethird haha.. you ironic guy xD

[skylineiiigtr]

@ryanthethird old joke is old

[jorgeamayas]

@ryanthethird ...totally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[11091992chris]

why is it that so many talented musicians die young/ish?

jeff buckly, jimi hendrix, kurt cobain, freddy mercury and (recently) the rev just to name a few.

[Alex6544onPS3]

@11091992chris great list of names man, most people give a bunch of no ones, and I'm like "what about Kurt or Hendrix!"

[11091992chris]

cheers :)

[BartonMatyas]

what did he say at start?

[blakh13]

i am the carpet king, i can mark down anything (making fun of jim morrison's lizard king)

[BartonMatyas]

yeah. i suppose that, but i wasn't sure about it. thanks. i really like his songs and funny talking.

[hellomotos5]

He seems happier when he sings this song over other songs

[electrompson]

Jeff was more then great. He defines glory haha

[Islappeople4fun]

He's great

[boomergaty]

My favourite in a long list of songs

Ture beauty

[ARYXANDRE]

Genius...absolute genius. Mississippi River took him away from us. God bless you, Jeff.

[Stairwaytoheaven06]

my FAV jeff buckley's song !!!!!!!!!!

[mAscArA81]

always gone the most talented people!!!

[MrTibonomefixe]

i would give my life to be his guitar, and to be able to touch god.

[xBeraLe]

@MrTibonomefixe so true..  =I

[rawza027]

he looks high eh

[zeppelinstrat]

I hate that we lost such an incredible musician before he actually impacted the world as much as he could've.

[HelenAshlee]

My heart hurts to know he can't do more with that incredible voice....

[Mygalej]

I fck love Jeff's music and Mick is such a creative bassist especially during that performance

[farsah14]

is this guy human?

[HappinessClient]

Very good question. :d

[KingMinosxxvi]

maybe ;)

[SASJKL]

@farsah14 you didn't hear? he was once human but when the league of immortality saw his talent as more then entertainment they recruited him with the rest of the talents such as kurt cobain, freddy mercury and so on, and turned him into an immortal. but seriously he is amazing

[justingarman]

@farsah14 Nah I think he was an Angel that fell to the earth... And when God realized he was missing from Heaven He took him back..

[zacman182]

@justingarman I'm an atheist, but I dig your comment.

[lllbr0kenlll]

@farsah14

nope.. angel, im sure

[vipelere]

@farsah14 I don't think so !!!

[davidoffon]

@farsah14 This guy is Humming hot!!

[s1ygirl]

@farsah14 If he wasn't already part angel then, he certainly is all angel now.

[pcmonkey]

I've heard alot of music at my age, and he's still my favorite musician of all time-

[mimoaapp]

@pcmonkey THE SAME HERE

[krusader85]

So sad he passed away young

[veriloud]

In the 70's his father's passing was just as sad - very talented, smart - could not take this world...peace to the Buckleys

[Orlojion]

music of soul..

[cahillm62]

no matter what music i listen to and burn for camping trips this song is always, always on the cd, increadible voice and most beautiful song, sadest loss

[plqlol]

so sad to see u go jeff miss u heaps

[Reach16]

Love Jeff

Love Last Goodbye

XXXX

[jacobbirdy128]

This is one of the most gorgeous songs ive ever heard.

The guitars and bass sounds are just perfect.

[tzuellig]

Anyone know who he was opening for in this. I swear I was there, because I saw him at Metro, but I forgot until seeing this, because at the time I was there to see someone else!

[husthisshet]

legendary...

[Super2easy]

R.I.P bro

[PhouFoo]

sounds so good live!

[willb48]

This is - or should have been - the future of music.

[jacobbirdy128]

@willb48 Completely agreed man. It's such a shame the world lost him. Imagine all the amazing songs he would have brought us.

[SoLooMUSIC]

soooo true!

[TearsForLosers]

T.T if only he didn't die, what a waste of talent, such a great musician!

[korvidkrow96]

exactly! why did death have to take an amazing and really talented musician?! why couldnt death take an un-talented person, or people, such as the jonas brothers! -.-

Rip Jeff

[avantgars]

elliott smith, kurt cobain, janis joplin, jimi hendrix, nick drake, jeff buckley... miss them [sigh]

[jacobbirdy128]

@avantgars  Nick Drake is amazing.

[sicfuker25]

love this song, ans his so cute !!

[LesPaulCryBaby]

I love Jeff Buckley but I don't really like his use of vibrato live.

[HodgePodge320]

Yeah, it's sometimes a bit hard to control a voice that powerful while playing the guitar, especially without any vocal lessons...

[SocialAesthetics]

You know someone's musically talented when they even sound great live.

Usually, concerts are where they ruin the songs you loved on the radio :)

Glad to say this isn't the case.

[ttubemonkey]

Jeff Buckley, a true artist... too be charished and appreciated !

[guitarmakestheworld]

I luv the part starting at ~ 3.11, I love the whole song, I love Jeff Buckley, what a great artist, 5/5!!!

[muchbettertennis]

it's very sad that the guy died young

but he was the epitome of over-rated

his squeals sound ridiculous

from 2:37 to 3:10 is just awful

c'mon people -- there's a difference between a rare talent and a guy you have a crush on

[guyfidelity]

Put down the crack pipe. Jeff Buckley is far from over rated. He was critically acclaimed when he was still alive and it seems like every other artist on the planet cites him as an influence. I can't begin to count the number of people I gave Grace to that couldn't believe how good he was. The best rendition of Hallelujah ever.

[viento00]

i dont think hes over rated, sometimes live i dont like the noices that he makes but, as a performer you can do whatever you feel like doing while playing in a specific time and place

[sianysian15]

The world lost a huge talent the day he died!

LOVE him and his music he has the most mesmerizing and perfect voice! Also a beautiful song writter :)

[zaodizao]

The BEST!

[JNiCk714]

He was the epitome of talent... I can't even think of how else to describe him, his music.. Just perfect

[darknightsam47]

fucking brillenttttttttttttttttttttttt­tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt­tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt­tttttttttttttttttttttt i love u jeff the best woooooooooooooooooooow

[hs42]

god i just want to kiss and hug him!

[Somethingpower]

hes good and all but his lyrics are predictable

[Krishnaisgod]

I still dont understand how it's possible to sing that well live...?!?!?!?!?!?!

WITCHCRAFT!!! XD

[rvdwerff]

Buckley was God!!!

[aaronastone]

Mick's bass playing on this is absolutely brilliant. It's hard to imagine how good music would be today if Buckley had lived.

hes almost as good as the lizard king and he could do anything
