Lyrics:
There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Oh, it's my time coming, I'm not afraid, afraid to die
My fading voice sings of love
But she cries to the clicking of time, oh
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Fire
And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh, drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
Oh, my love
And the rain is falling and I believe
My time has come
It reminds me of the pain I might leave
Leave behind
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Fire
Oh
Ooh, ooh, ah
And I feel that I'm drownin' my name
So easy to know
And forget with this kiss
I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow, oh
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire, wait in the fire, oh
Oh, wait in the fire
Wai-wai-wait
Wait in the fire, wait in the fire
Wait

That dude was on a different level.
He was the level
He’s like a celestial being, or a shooting star 🌠 streaking across the midnight sky, or a comet ☄️ that burned so brightly for a short while, but was quickly swallowed up by the earth .
He wassdds so amazing. Sorry I had two drinks!! Fuck
He on x game mode
2021 and yeah he’s still next level.
He doesn't scare of imperfection, that's why he is absolutely perfect.
I don’t think it is perfect and that’s what makes it so great, because he probably could be if he let off the gas. He chooses to be passionate over being perfect.
@@Pharr. hea kinda perfect
I'm sorry, I fail to see what about this wasn't perfect.
how low can you go?
Kamikaze too
He's still so underrated in my opinion
One of most underrated singer in all times wiews doesn’t matter art is making for beauty of art I not fan boy I am just amateur vocalist and you cant find any vocalist could deny that Jeff’s vocals still inspire to all new rock vocalist as chriss cornell and etc and not just rock vocalists He has huge influence among vocalists
I am a singer.....he is the real deal!
I love him !!!!!!!!!!
Painfully underrated
Cant agree. He is rated as one of the "best " vocalists from the 90s. Ask people like Robert Plant..
eternally underrated.
The fact he keeps singing even after all the music stops is just incredible, like he doesn’t want to let go of the song. I love this man.
It’s like a primal scream. In a way, it’s like his tragic death was a forgone conclusion, heavenly creatures like Jeff Buckley are too pure and good for this world.
He had such a deep understanding of his gift.
When you listen to the studio version and think it can't get much better, then you hear his live stuff....my God. This man was a true treasure.
Right? How many times have you heard a studio version of a song, only to be disappointed when you hear it live? Or the singer shortcuts the difficult parts. Not the case here! Amazing Grace!
I prefer his live over the studio… live really shows off a different level….
Pleasantly surprised to see this man was ACTUALLY talented live
unfortunately nowadays virtually nobody plays MUSIC live, at least not anyone particularly popular. they just sing over a backing track and only sing half the lyrics. it’s ridiculous
He was just getting started... Such a shame we couldn't have enjoyed whatching him evolve. He was so humble, so playful and so authentic.
That bassline
+Apeirofobia isn't anything special. any competent bass player could make one of the same standard if not better.
+el chewbaccabra that doesn't mean it isn't a good bass line
Sorry badman......
+el chewbaccabra technical difficulty has nothing to do with how awesome something sounds.
right Jeff looked for something way off in the distance. Not any competent player wld fit. This bass line is so much more than notes.
That smile at 1:58. Makes my heart sink everytime...
GrimKage seriously, he was a precious one .In and out..
My weakness
Fred true!!
Unfortunately, he died when Jeff was really young.
Mine too! It's different, cute, and so personal. I've taken a photo of it several times and have it set as wallpaper on my phone even now.
I'll never get over this guy and his music
There hasn't been a male voice like that before or since
+Donovan Bryan closest voice to jeff is matt corby
+Donovan Bryan Matthew Santos was approached by Jeff's mother, after a show in Atlanta, and she told him that it would be her wished that he play her son. Didn't pan out with the studio execs, but that is a huge honor. Give him a listen. Closest I have ever heard...live or recorded. :)
+Mathew Hutchins it doesnt match Jeff Buckleys! I know how he feels, Layne Staley always had a Very strong and wide vocal range till drugs started to mess with it and still it was stronger and wider than most everyones! This mans is so Strong and powerful too! I love it.... Like I said before ..ive got to rearrange my top 5 vocalist! Its gonna be hard , but Jeff Buckley dam well deserves a spot!
+Donovan Bryan Listen to Jeff's dad, Bill Buckley. Eerily similar.
+Miguel Fernandez 'Tim' Buckley..
I can't believe I was lucky enough to be there. Even the local radio DJs in our section were choked up. It was all heart and soul. He gave that show EVERYTHING he had.
that's so cool!! what was the atmosphere like?
@@elisabeta5144 Crowded! It was at Cabaret Metro, so a pretty small space. SO many girls... some screaming the lyrics, which was universally annoying.
I don't recall him saying much. I was just floored. The mix was perfect, and I did run down to the floor when he covered 'Kanga-Roo.'
I'm pretty sure the DVD that's in the Grace box set (special edition, not sure what it is)?) was filmed at this show.
@@genghis_connie wow, thanks for replying! :D It's always cool to hear about what his concerts were like in person, obviously you can get the vibe through a video but it's not the same :0
@@elisabeta5144 True. I think I failed to mention that it seemed 99% of the crowd were just in awe. We knew we were experiencing something special- moreso than I recall at any other show I can recall.
Ani DiFranco in Milwaukee was a similar vibe (mid-90s), but at like 70% of the vibe. She's also hilarious, so it kind of broke up the intensity.
I thought a side-by-side comparison might help.
Have you looked up reviews if his show at The Green Mill in Chicago? I was supposed to go (this was maybe a year before the Metro show). Apparently, he was hammered . [Jeff] Sweetheart, The Drunk. Kinda glad I missed it.
Choked up about what?
Fantastic bass player. And obviously a fantastic song
Yes, I noticed that bass player. Inventive, brilliant, without ever coming in conflict with the song's integrity, the singer, which how it should be.
he's really good, yeah!
@@DanielHeikalo amen
Jeff Buckley is one of the greatest musicians and songwriters of all time. I understand that music is relative but there is no way that anybody can say that he was bad or not talented. He was special, he was different and I’m deeply saddened that he’s not here to reap what he sewed so to speak
Still so bloody raw 25 years later.still hurts walks in a river and drowns does my head in
i completely agree
"Grace is what matters, in anything... That's a quality I admire quite greatly. It keeps you from reaching for the gun too quickly, keeps you from destroying things too foolishly. It keeps you alive and it keeps you open for more understanding."-Jeff Buckley
I use the word regularly to describe those whose choices and behavior I admire.
We shot this concert at the Metro in Chicago and we originally aired it on JBTV Jerry Byrant Music Television. Jerry was the roving camera, I was on the camera, side, of the stage. At the JBTV studio he did some songs we recorded and Jeff did a Interview. I shot the Interview of Jeff and Jerry talking. At the time we didn't know it would be some of the last footage! I couldn't believe he was gone! INCREDIBLE talent with so much ahead of him, its tragic beyond words. Jeff Buckley touched so many hearts, he will always be missed.
Thank you for capturing it!
Best male voice ever
Every note he sings it looks like his soul is coming out of him !
He can hold a note longer than my lifetime.
I've listened to jeff since 2002 my eldest son now 24 is obsessed with him quite rightly ❤
4:26 I'm not afraid to go, but it GOEEEESSSS SOOO SSSSLLLLOOOOWWWW
Can I just say the bass is freaking ACE on this.
a little tim buckley, a little jim morrison, a lot of pure spirit....
Plant as well
@@symphonyinkart His Falsetto is defiantly also some Ian Gillian Inspiration I reckon
The whole "Grace" album is a hidden treasure
Up there with Radiohead. I remember seeing Cornell on his solo tour years ago, he paid tribute by having a red telephone on stage, it was a beautiful thing. When a great like Cornell pays tribute to you, you know you’ve made it big. RIP to both, fortunate I’ve witnessed such great music.
Wikipedia:
The song was based on an instrumental song called "Rise Up to Be" written by Buckley's collaborator, Gary Lucas. Jeff wrote lyrics inspired by his saying goodbye to his girlfriend at the airport on a rainy day, and the vocal melody came naturally.[1] In Buckley's words, "It's about not feeling so bad about your own mortality when you have true love."
Here's what Jeff about Grace during a 1994 interview:
"It's about not fearing death, or fearing any of those countless slings
and arrows that you suffer sometimes on this earth, because somebody
loves you. You're not afraid to go, you're not afraid to withstand what
you need to withstand because there's a tremendous fuel that you feel
regenerating inside because of someone else's love for you. That's what
Grace is about. And it's just about life sometimes being so long. At the
time I was anticipating leaving Los Angelos for New York. So I was
waiting to go. I'm not afraid to go, I'm not afraid to die, I'm not
afraid to go away from this place or from any place but it just goes so
slow. And I had somebody who loved me in New York. A lot. And it was
amazing. It still is."
i don't know if thats true, he said in an interview that every song on grace was inspired by separate poems.
@@Braindance98 at sin é he says grace is about “embracing and accepting your own mortality”
@@Braindance98 all of it is true. How can some songs on grace be inspired by his own poems if there are multiple covers in the album?
Being loved by Jeff. Can you imagine? I dare not.
With a spirit as alive as Jeff's being confined by a mortal body would be very challenging. But he did great things in his time here.
I think this performance is an all time rock and roll great! It is haunting, mesmerizing, and possessed. Jeff Buckley casts raw blood curdling screams beyond any I have ever heard.
bass player is the unsung hero
A man’s soul atomised into musical notes.
I NEED THAT SNARE IN MY LIFE
I need more cowbell ...
me too man it sounds unreal!
@@TheLeon1032
@3:03 watch the drummer
its not him playing, im disappointed... slightly(unless it was cut from a different fill)
@@DarkoP9.13
Good eye! Damn prerecorded?!?
@@DarkoP9.13 Of course it's him playing! It must be a wrong video clip though. It often happens in live videos.
What a gift he had. Amazing talent. A shame more people don't know his music, it's beautiful.
we are lucky mate
@@hoangcong359 100%.
He was probably too lovely to last. It's all in the fine print, Still he was just amazing.
i saw his father, tim, perform twice...more within but same intensity...'song to the siren' remains my favorite love song of all time...two shooting stars that couldn't be here long, forever streaking across the eternal sky...
ah man,
I love how he can sing super high and clean if he wants to, but he can also do the falsetto (like really high) and still add just as much grit or dirt to it as he wants. You can't teach/learn that.
Majic Freeman you can but it’s so hard to do lol
how did he learn it then?
@@jackcarson9046 he was majorly self taught, it was known he liked to explore and experiment his vocals to find his own natural timbre
You can learn it, just takes a lot of practice and proper vocal technique.
@@MrKnowit712 which is what i'm sure jeff buckley did. his parents were both musicians so i'm sure he spent his entire life around music, practicing his vox and guitar which is why he has impeccable control of his vocals. it's easy to look at him and say "natural talent i could never do that" but the reality is i'm sure he practiced his ASS off to get where he got.
Very few artists can make me just sit in silence with my mouth open and listen. He's one of them.
Simply amazing, there will never be another Jeff Buckley. His band was tight AF as well
That SCREAM at 5:08 has so much power, it's so amazingly pleasing to hear
The greatest piece of music ever from 5.08
@@davidbattaglene6873 well that's a stretch
@@faauszto0h no not really listen to those vocals
@@faauszto0hno I I'm very serious
Im so happy this man existed
This is one of the best versions of “Grace” ever!!
Your voice is not fading Jeff, it never will. Thank you for all, I hope you are at peace.
Absolutely love that bassline from 3:59 - 4:10
I just find myself in total awe of him and indeed his musicians. I feel privileged too, privileged he was here for the 30 short years we were blessed with. A composer level genius in action right there.
02:26 the roadie wearing a Soundgarden shirt make it even better.
badmotorfinger
Chris was a big fan of Jeff Buckley, two of the greatest vocalists from my generation
@@hfm2374 yes and also a great friend to Jeff too
Not to take away from Jeff At All, but MAN does the bass player really just NAIL from 3:05- 3:45 He manages to play everything BUT the root note, love it SO much!!!
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Jeff Buckley
I will most certainly check them out, thank you! @@MassiveFish-hp4pm
Damn, this song is so emotional (plus Jeff's untimely passing), it gives me goosebumps every time. I cannot find another performer like him. God bless your soul.
nobody makes music like this anymore, and nobody sounds like this anymore, at least not without auto tune, he was so real and had so much control over his beautiful voice, his words were so deep and have such a hold over me. I love Jeff buckley so much
jeff was a once in a lifetime talent
there may be artists who make music that stands up to his but jeez no one had the pure ability and control that he did.
Just imagine stadiums he'd sell out in 2 sec all over he world today, letting us hear and see him... I'd die to see him , Layne, Chris cornell.
Do true.. He makes me a grown man weep!
If time travel ever exists in my life time, definitely gonna have to see Jeff Buckley. 🔥🔥
Incredible vocalist. This music is INCREDIBLE. I just heard this for the first time in my 32 years a few weeks ago and I even cried!!!!!
i really wish 1995 Buckley was present in 2019. He was unfortunately overshadowed by grunge during his career and would be a massively popular and needed talent today. hes incredible
Jeff was a beast, his voice so incredible. R.I.P angel
that bass was going crazy, perfect performance from the whole band and jeff
I shouldn't be watching this so late it gets me too exicited, I mean this man was just too beautiful.
am I crazy or was the mix of those instruments + the voice the best sounding thing I've ever heard
Michael Tighe, Matt Johnson and Mick Grondahl are such a tight backing band
and to think the mighty SOUL COUGHING opened for him on this date/tour, too! What a fucking night! Does anybody know how to build a time machine???
I agree
I can't find the serenity in any other songs that i find in his songs its like his voice has a healing effect that i can't explain. As if his voice and soul were too much for this world .Rest in peace 😢
Jeff was born to be a musician.
When Jeff sings over and over>"wait eet" "wait eet" his father sings the end of his song "I never asked to be your mountain" the same way. His father says "please eez" "please eez" come home...crying out to Jeff, in that same high pitched haunting voice. It was so conflicting to Jeff, with the double message from father to son, I know Jeff struggled a great deal with that song. Listen if you want and you will hear what I heard. So very sad, his dad died so young, that even if their was a chance of a relationship it was cut short. I do love Jeff his music is beautiful hope he found peace, we all miss him.
+alicia mcmillan I am deeply happy that I found there are other people thinking as I do about jeff, and how deep his relationship with his father. I catched this a while ago as well, Jeff also covered that song on his father's funeral
Jeff never knew if father period. They only met once just before Tim Buckley died.
Jeff performed I Never Asked To Be Your Mountain at a tribute concert to Tim (not at his actual funeral). Jeff was only 8 when Tim died and he wasn't invited to the funeral.
alicia mcmillan his dad was dead, im sure he had nothing to do with the invites to his funeral. .just saying. .
MojoPin1983 like I just said his dad was dead I'm sure he had nothing to do with the invites to his funeral .
The clean fluttery chords under that distorted riff in the intro to me is just brilliant! His voice and songwriting just amazes me on many different levels!!!!!!!!!!!!
No dislikes for this humble man.
Why do I feel like a giddy schoolgirl when I see him smile at 2 minutes in?
There's something about him, i don't know what it is, i cant explain it. But that something is what makes him so special
Here I am in 2023 listening to Jeff Buckley for the very first time. This song is legendary and I give credit to Sirius radio for showing me this lovely song. Buckley is legendary.
You are my hero, buddy, even when you are no longer here to show us how much love you can create and share.
That smile
This guy was in a different realm than anybody else. So much soul and feel. What a blessing.
5:09 - 5:21 = EPIC!
Yes !
I get full body goosebumps every single time I hear that. Always have, always will. It's all I can do to stop myself from just crying.
@@Null.t5 better!!
I read in Dave Lorys book this was one of the few shows Jeff was drunk…and still gave my personal favorite performance. Magical
This is unimaginably divine, free, spacious singing. What an artist!!
Own this on VHS. Yes, it was that long ago
OMFG!
Anthony Woods VHS isnt that far ago tbh, it depends ofc what you compare it to. so everything is relative
Anthony Woods Me too. I remember my huge clunky VHS video player with much fondness - it was about the size of two breeze blocks and weighed not much lighter. I've got to the age where I can legitimately say that "When I was a kid, this was all fields" in the now housing estate close to where I grew up. Gotta laugh! Jeff's music never ages though and so many of my favourite current artists are obvious fans.
The underrated, the unsung, the legendary Jeff Buckley in top form.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Jeff Buckley
Live in Chicago was absolutely NEXT LEVEL.
forever Jeff, forever Grace...
i heard Jeff by accident ... i was working late and I searched "Blues".. after 3 hours, this song came out.... i'm a fan now, thanks youtube
It's unbelievable that he ever existed. I am not one to be a sycophant, at least, I hope not to be. But I find Jeff and his band to be so incredible. It's so close to bringing me to tears, every time I watch and listen to this, or the album, it just... It does that thing his voice does. It's impossible to express. It can only be experienced, and it has to be experienced by those who never got to experience it live. A bitter lesson of how unfair this world can be; at least we got to know what we missed out on, lest us never forget the millions living and dying nowhere, unseen and unheard.
One of the best voices EVER!
Jeff burned for us..... he "waited in the fire" for as long as he could, then had to go. We are so fortunate for the time he gave.
"
really don't know if is a god or something superio or so... but I guess we are all blessed in some way when we can hear such artists.... something good is falling on us all when such music can live.... til the end of times......
Perfectly stated
One of the most gifted singers I've ever heard. Just effortlessly goes from chest to head voice. Band is friggin' awesome too.
I'm so grateful I got to see him. Such a spiritual experience
I am happy for you!!!! ♡

Jeff's bassist is underrated
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Jeff Buckley
His smile in the thumbnail 💖 perfect
We miss you Jeff!
What a performance by everyone! His band was amazing!
He was an artist so he couldn't live in this planet. Thanks for Grace...
this voice. oh this voice. makes me want to cry and smile
radiohead's the bends and ok computer were clearly influenced by him
Actually, after their manager made them take a break from recording in studio overseas, they went back to studio in early am after his show and did "fake plastic trees". They openly give credit to JB and shed tears over how inspiring he was.
He inspired the greatest of the great
Uno de los mejores cantantes de todos los tiempos. Una lástima que ya no esté en este mundo.
1:57 i have never seen a smile that pure
I had first heard of the music of Jeff Buckley in hushed, reverent tones sometime back in the late 1990s. Just shortly after, my actual first exposure to his music occurred while I was giving a co-worker of mine a neck and back massage, something I did on the side in those days. On one day in particular, while her iTunes program ran in the background at a very low volume, a song suddenly captured my awareness. The program displayed an identifying line that read, "Jeff Buckley...Grace".
Even at this very low volume, it sounded absolutely sublime to me. I ran out and obtained a CD of the full album shortly thereafter. I still consider it a treasured masterpiece to this day.
It’s so fascinating to be transported by this celestial music back to a time before the internet took over the world; you’ll notice none of the musicians have tattoos, the craze for self-promotion using one’s own body as a canvas was only just beginning to take off. It now seems like a more innocent and simpler time, and I’m glad I was fortunate enough to have lived through it. 💔
Hi.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Jeff Buckley
RIP Jeff Buckley!!
what's amazing about jeff is that all of his live concerts are different- he always gives a different vibe in every performance and i personally have seen that only with him
this!! he never performed a song the same way twice
That voice. Holy … an angel.
Such an innovator. I regret never seeing him perform.
Simply amazing, unforgettable voice... One of the best moments in modern music!!!
This is one artist that I really wish hadn't gone too soon. I love Jimmy, Curt, Buddy, Rdding, Jim and so many more who died too soon, but it's Jeff that really brings me down and puts the pillow over my face.
He was humble and not a walking poster
RIP you beautiful genius
I'm not afraid to go, is it all because of you? I'm not afraid to go, but it goes so slow. Wait in the fire...wait in the fire... Thank you for everything Jeff. I miss you.
Jeff teaches us it's never about the notes or pitch or 100 other singing parameters..it's all but your raw passion n putting your everything out there in the moment. It's those imperfections that make it all the more marvelous!
While being in key baby 😉
Cos that boy was lol
@@symphonyinkart mostly yes ,but he's pitchy at times on stage..but then who isn't 😉
@@raghavsehgal25 every artist will have a moment. In any form. Of anything. That’s human nature.
If the moments between are sublime, well.. .. enough said.
As we say.. only human is what we are.
U will find trained ppl who solely focus on the perfection in that manner. But never truly impact and reach the stratosphere.
@@symphonyinkart Exactly. That's what I said. It's never about your training or pitch perfect vocals ,but putting your heart n soul into the song.
That voice was to epic!
Can't believe that you left us 30 years ago today!!! You were and always will be Amazing!!!! 😢
R.I.P.
All hail whoever was responsible for the audio mix... putting the bass that forward in the mix really took this to the next level.
YES! not enough bass is all too common a tragedy
