MSNBC Expose on Jeff Buckley's Life/Death

Sorry for the crappy quality. I found this piece hidden away and thought I'd upload for all the Buckley fans out there. Ironically, this is how I found out about this talented individual.

This clip is part of the Best of Edgewise Music Festival, reported by John Hockenberry in August of 1997, mere months after Buckley's death. The expose is entitled Eternal Grace.

Commentary can be seen from close friends and those who knew him including: Chris Cornell, Lenny Kaye, Penny Arcade, George Stein and Gary Lucas. At the end of the clip, each person mentioned above reads a lyric from Grace; it's an emotional moment.

R.I.P. Jeff Buckley

@IluvMJandBrunoMars Anyone who has Bruno Mars in their username has no right to comment on any form of music.

He changed my life in several ways... but the greatest part... he let me see life true different eyes.... I shaare my emotions with his music... so inspiring...

@gaaracherry So your mum calls people on the internet 'dude'? How old is she, 16? Music isn't all about 'hearing someone better'. Thats the problem with your silly 'idol' generation. Stop judging, and start LISTENING. This dude WROTE, orchestrated and performed some of the most memorizing and emotionally driven music of the past century. I have not met one musician who does not think the world of buckley, no matter what genre.

Unless it's a serious retreat from your earlier comment, which was quite foolish - sit down and listen to Jeff. "Only a teenager" - i'm only a teenager too, but for god sake, turn off MTV and VH1, and GO AND BUY GRACE! One of the best albums you will ever hear

@skillmyster666 I've wondered the same thing...

[skillmyster666]

i'm beginning to wonder about his death. it was really early, and he seemed to have eerily predicted it in his music - like in 'dream brother' and especially in 'grace'....conspiracy?

[CinnCity78]

@gaaracherry clearly you are not apt at judging talent. Have a seat.

@FlyAway sorry bout that -.- i dont even listen to this music, my mum forgot to log out on my account :/ no offence ment but i dont even know who jeff buckley is, im only a teenager and im clueless

[Laurenwasinyourface]

This guy is utter perfection in the human race; you cannot say he was an "ok" singer.

[FlyAway]

@gaaracherry An "ok" singer? All opinions regarding musical taste aside, a poet who has such an incredible vocal range is usually dubbed as something much more than just ok. Sure hope your standards are just really high cause I'm scared to find out what you consider as better. >.<
