Jeff Buckley is for rock and single/songwriter what Frank Sinatra is for vocal jazz and swing. An amazing performer in every single way; from voice to emotion. Every single version is different to another. Every version is special and unique in it's way.
Never has a piece of music been written so brilliantly by one song writer (Leonard Cohen) only to be so brilliantly adopted by another artist who embodies it, lives it, breathes it, exudes it, in such a way that it transcends “ownership” and floats off into the ether as a magical piece of art for the universe. Does anyone know if Leonard Cohen heard this version, or reacted to it?
There is something holy about this song even though the lyrics don't signify this. His father died from overdose but he was clean and died from drowning. He carried his father's talents but not his sin. I find that significant. I wish I could say the same for me and my old man. He didn't write this song, but he made it great.
@nonya biznis The song certainly contains Biblical imagery, so I am not quite sure that I agree with you, though it largely is a lament about love lost. What sin of Tim's are you referring to; Tim's abandonment of Jeff and his mother? Tim's overdose? Jeff had his owns sins, as did Tim.
I cry every time I hear this version. There were quite a few recordings of this song by him and other artists but this is the most perfect performance, so haunting. It kicks my heart's ass every time.
hearing this makes me reminisce on my heartbroken love. it fills me with both sadness at what i’ve lost, but also determination to get her back. to show her that i love her. even though i might fail, this song is a place of peace where tears may flow like a rushing river or a light rainfall
Hey man, sometimes you’re in love and it’s just not right, if it’s right, chase it, if not man, it’s okay :) and it sucks ass but you can do it. Just do the things that make you feel happy and invest time into taking care of your physical and mental health, and soon enough you’ll find somebody who will never leave you
💜 I wish I could have witnessed one of his live performances...! I am so glad that I still find footage like this one, that I haven't watched before! Thanks for uploading this video!!!!
@@MojoPin1983 Been drinkin' gasoline And honey you can make my motor hum I got one chance left In a nine live cat That's all I can remember of this song 💃💅💅 However my long time friend Richard Fortus would be dissatisfied lol.
This hauntingly beautiful performance has brought me to tears. I am awed at Jeff's performance in Tokyo. I think this is the most beautiful rendition Of Hallelujah I have ever heard before. I have listed to numerous performers sing this song and I love Jeff Buckley's the most. The passion of the vocals entwined with the guitar strings is profound.
What Jeff Buckley did with Cohen's Hallelujah, John Mayer did with Tom Petty's Free Fallin'. These are covers that make the song their very own. Such legends 🌸
Omg this is so good. I love the way he changed the way he sung this song. True musician ill tell you that. Damn i wish he was still here. A frickin shame that he waa taken too soon
Does anyone have the link to where he performed this in Chicago? It used to be on UA-cam but I can't find it now. My FAVORITE performance of this song from him. I'll be real sad if UA-cam removed it. :(
@Tyler L Jeff’s official UA-cam channel has it set to private, for the time being. Maybe they plan on making it public, again, when his biopic, and a new documentary, are released, next year. I had the full concert up on my channel, earlier this year, but it was eventually blocked. You can always order the officially released DVD, or purchase and stream it, digitally.
@John Goodman Live in Chicago - Hallelujah? If that’s the one you’re looking for, Jeff’s official channel removed it - and several others - over a year ago. Make sure to tell Roseanne.
I’m sorry…I’m going to say it…this is absolutely beautiful except for where it isn’t. 2:10? Seriously? No. He lost it and if this wasn’t a beloved singer performing live who died, a different version of this song live would be here instead of this version. So much of it is breathtaking. Parts of it not - so much.
O PAI É VERBO❗ O FILHO PELO PAI UNGIDO É PALAVRA❗ Interessante que ele mexeu na música de Cohen em 1.994 e morreu afogado em 1.997 Pra quem mesmo que ele cantava❓🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

2023. I still cry. Would give anything to hear him live today.
What about your children?
@@charaznable8072 I have 7 children. What does that have to do with my comment?? 😂😂🤷♀️
@@Foo281obviously they're asking if you'd give up your children to see it live
@@mattday7337 bit creepy to bring my children into this.
@@Foo281 I agree, was just trying to clear the air
Sometimes, He's almost too much for me to take. There is no casual listening to Jeff Buckley. He posseses you or you walk away.
So true. He's just so intense 💔
@@elviraf4629 - Right. And he felt every word and guitar note.
❤
Jeff Buckley is for rock and single/songwriter what Frank Sinatra is for vocal jazz and swing. An amazing performer in every single way; from voice to emotion. Every single version is different to another. Every version is special and unique in it's way.
No! No comparison, Sinatra to Jeff Buckley. Buckley is an artist of glorious, high achievement. Sinatra was an entertainer.
Jeff was not that much of a rock artist
No singer songwriter has been better than him
@@nirmalabadhani2011 yet he didn’t write this song
You're having a laugh Sinatra was a clown.
It’s an entire experience listening to Jeff sing Hallelujah
Mesmerizing
2:08 is so cute, when he goes “Hallelu….yeah!”

Does anyone know if Leonard Cohen heard this version, or reacted to it?
Certain Leonard Cohen heard Jeff's version. What he thought of it, I don't know.
@@MojoPin1983 I wonder if Patti Smith would know, they knew each other, I think.
Leonard Cohen openly said that Jeff was made to sing the song, and that he was blown away by the cover.
@@matthewcaldwell7115 Source?
@@MojoPin1983 trust me bro told him
Jeffs understanding of music is unrivalled.
The white v-neck, the butterscotch Tele. Classic Jeff
And the Alesis Quadreverb

I feel like Jeffrey Buckley is the closest thing we've ever seen to an angel. 🤍
He is the only artist who keeps me in suspense until the last note...❤
Uncut camera shots are so rare today.... What a pleasure to be able to truly watch a show as if we were in front of the artist, Thanks for the upload!
This was an Angel.
unbelievable! God literally blessed him with talent and unique muscle genetics.
every time I click play he just breaks my heart
@saego So click stop instead.
@@MojoPin1983 No, I love when he breaks my heart
Every version so different, so special. Beautiful.
what would we do without your channel bro 🙏🏻 luv u
@honeymooniie Hopefully spending more time browsing InspiringPhilosophy’s channel.
@@MojoPin1983 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
always nice to see footage of hallelujah live
I need him. The world needs him. He’s a tear that hangs inside my soul forever 💔
I cry every time I hear this version. There were quite a few recordings of this song by him and other artists but this is the most perfect performance, so haunting. It kicks my heart's ass every time.
I know we would have been friends !! BEST version of the song so far, love u for that thank you Jeff.. RIP
What a beautiful soul
Its so.....! I was listening holding my breath! Thank you!

Good luck. Tell her, “you ain’t seen nothing like the might Quinn.”
@@MojoPin1983 thank you🙏 being in love is hard, especially when they love you then leave you

If someone leaves your life, they clearly don't deserve to be a part of it. Don't waste your limited time on someone undeserving.
can i have an update?
The quality of this video makes this like a recent concert
what a sensitiv artist he was, I wish he could have spend more time on this planet to bless it with his beautiful voice
💜 I wish I could have witnessed one of his live performances...!
I am so glad that I still find footage like this one, that I haven't watched before!
Thanks for uploading this video!!!!
I have Never heard a song cover before that is more beautiful or brilliant.. Words fail me
💞💞 No matter where or what he sings he comes thru you like a freight train. Thnkx Mojo for always posting. 💖

Flyin’ like an aeroplane
Feelin’ like a space brain

That's all I can remember of this song 💃💅💅 However my long time friend Richard Fortus would be dissatisfied lol.
Wow the video quality on this one.
Beautiful. I had never seen this before. Excellent 👏
Never ceases to amaze me the sheer control he has over his voice. He could literally do whatever he felt like doing at anytime and nail it
he brings you to a different place in space and time. A better place.
Thank u for uploading these videos
You’re welcome, Sidney.
a master piece of sound, just as Rembrandt in visuals!

John Mayer sucks compared to Petty
Listening to Jeff Buckley is a spiritual experience that transcends everything, each performance is so special.
Truly wonderful!! Gorgeous voice!!!
Love is not a victory march, Its cold and its broken 💐
Here before the record label that shall not be named hits. 👋🏻
Swan Song?
@@MojoPin1983 Well, I hope not! But you seem confident, so I won't rain hard on this parade.
@@maria.maverick I was referring to Led Zeppelin's record label, which bears that name.
Ive been missing the live Chicago performance so much. How dare they take away a gift to the world
@@jimmboflay4546 You can purchase it online. Search for it on Amazon, iTunes, etc.
This is easily the best song ever.
This song haunts me everywhere I go.
A master piece of sound.
Also listen to his father Tim Buckley doing Sweet Surrender. His father died at 28. Jeff carried on his soul.
Goosebumps
lo inefable... sin palabras para este maestro
thank u!!!!
대단한 뮤지션..
Leanard WROTE THIS FOR JEFF!!!!Amazing !!!Nobody comes close to Buckey's version....noone!!
@blissfulbaboon Leonard
Kevin Morby in his new album has a few things to say about Jeff covering this song in his song Coat of Butterflies
Siempre vuelvo aca a escucharlo. Es increible.
I’m from Memphis. And that day we lost a legend here
@Ricky Knighton Did you catch any of his shows at Barrister's?
@@MojoPin1983 no I was a young fella then
Love it 😍
😎✨✨✨ so good ✨
Wow, just wow! Reminds me of Steve Goodman on the delivery!
I don’t care if Shrek brought you here. I’m glad you’re hearing this.
This song makes me want to buy a stratocaster so bad. I know that isn't a strat there but I can only imagine how it would sound on one in person.
Omg this is so good. I love the way he changed the way he sung this song. True musician ill tell you that. Damn i wish he was still here. A frickin shame that he waa taken too soon
Miss You ❤
@Cat-xs6os Thanks, but I don’t remember us ever meeting.
I think Jeff may just own this song now
Apparently Leonard Cohen also did a cover of this song.
Jeff cantaba con el alma .👼👼👼❤❤❤❤
hallelujah jeff
RIP brother
The One. ❤️🔥

Same here, was my favourite version
Leonard wrote it but it’s his song
Lo amo realmente lo amo
I love you Jeff, you’re never dead for me 🖤 will see you in the dextroverse or waiting in the fire for you 🤪💥🔥🔥🔥
Sup surprise people in japan even knew who he was they must of been doing some crazy advertising.
I would have been on the floor
Rip jeff
there was another live performance on here but I can't seem to find it
@John Goodman Live in Chicago - Hallelujah?
If that’s the one you’re looking for, Jeff’s official channel removed it - and several others - over a year ago. Make sure to tell Roseanne.
@@MojoPin1983 Damn, will do.
Alguien tiene el vídeo de (hallelujah de Jeff bukley from live in Chicago)
Omg
Hey do you have any idea where the Chicago show on youtube went? It seems to be privated any idea why?
Yes, it’s been made private, mostly. Why? I have no clue.
@@MojoPin1983 damn it sucks atleast the audio is on apple music though
Leonard Cohen genuis songwriter.
Jeff rewrote verses of cohens original song. Cohen wrote at least 180 versions and the final one was rejected from his record company.
Imagine what we would of got hallelujah was his song then he went for a swim and was gone
Where'd you get this?
Deep inside a yeti cave.
Grace Around The World DVD & CD if anyone wants it.

This is not human
So sad
I don't get it
O PAI É VERBO❗
O FILHO PELO PAI UNGIDO É PALAVRA❗
Interessante que ele mexeu na música de Cohen em 1.994 e morreu afogado em 1.997
Pra quem mesmo que ele cantava❓🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
loml
Never heard of him.. he blows...just saying
The only person ever to sing it better than cohen himself
