When Chris Cornell is blown away by your singing, you're Jeff Buckley.
Yes. Semitones, Jazzy. Chris Cornell is very good. But this guy was the bomb.
I think that the more versatile singer was Cornell, but Buckley is probably the ONLY singer who could have possibly done a Chris Cornell cover. No one else could.
@@ThatOtherRaccoon They both had great vibrato, which I could only dream about. They were both so special and such great talents. Un cover able.
@@ThatOtherRaccoon Jeff could cover and improve Cornell, Elton John, Smiths, Cohen and Bob Dylan.
No one could cover Jeff B.
@@ThatOtherRaccoon Glenn Hughes can. Im still waiting for him to sing Jesus Christ pose. He can do it
IMO Jeff was THE greatest vocalist. he could’ve done literally anything, and we lost him before he could even explore his incredible gift.
biggest and most underrated tragedy in music by a mile. devastating.
and we all obvs focus on his voice, but this song is a masterpiece.
he was an incredible songwriter, and we always forget that. literally perfect package, lost to a river. so unfair.
His rendition of 'When I am laid in earth' by Purcell cements your point. He was one-of-a-kind.
💯 agree
@@DallasRebelNorriewho tf is “we”
This right here is why, even though Buckley is universally revered by the music world, no one covers his songs. Who else is going to do this song justice?
A small youtuber called jaron natoli i did it very well and his vocals are on point
There's a youtuber called Jimmy Davis who made an INSANE cover of this song. Check it out.
Only Devin Townsend comes to mind
Not an easy song to cover, anyone who can has mad talent. This song gives me chills i feel it in my soul ✨
Maybe matt Bellamy couded do it years ago just maybe.
one of the things I love about Jeff is, if you listen to his different live performances, he improvised so much of his vocal, so it's different nearly every time. And always amazing.
I'm told that he never performed any song the same way twice. A true musician. :)
Yeah his first band he was in was metal and he used to have lots of dildos on stage with him lol. I am not joking. His father was a famous musician he barely saw. His first band was nothing like his music of later years. Great musician but he would of done anything to be famous. It wasnt his first attempt and he didnt care what he made it for.
@@natashagoode501 Wouldn't surprise me, I love how he often for whatever reason opened the songs on guitar as if he camouflaged what song it was. You could got 30sec or more into a song and THEN he went into the actual intro.
Clicked like immediately because it’s the one and only Jeff Buckley.
Me too :)
me three 💜
handsomerube Same! I Love Jeff Buckley forever ❤️
Me too! Haven't even got to the reaction yet. Lol still in the intro.
The one and only ! Taken from us too soon .
This has to be his best performance of Grace. Before the start of this performance, the announcer associates and compares him with his father Tim Buckley, who abandoned Jeff. They only met once, and Jeff was forever compared and overshadowed by his fathers legacy during his lifetime. He flips two big birds when this is mentioned behind the announcer! I believe he took this as a moment to give it everything he had, and use the anger suddenly brought up by the comparison to his father to try to put the naysayers in their proper place.
ua-cam.com/video/8LIvIb_RBnA/v-deo.html
Didn’t know the history between him and his Dad. Had seen the full performance with the intro but this adds a layer to the performance.
He did sound like his father at times though. It's inherited. Like the warbling the vocal coach mentions. Here's a clip of his father doing just that and around 1:07 I could swear it's Jeff singing. ua-cam.com/video/PwWcGSB8wWI/v-deo.html
That moment always makes me chuckle....he was ready for it.
I think the NPA performance for french TV is better. This, however, is not bad... 😅
And he is doing this WHILE PLAYING GUITAR AT THE SAME TIME
Yeah but the guitar parts under the singing is dead simple in the verse/chorus and only slightly more difficult during the pre-chorus/bridge. His vocals are outstanding, but the addition of these guitar parts doesn't add any extra value. In fact, I'd wager it'd be harder for him to sing this stuff without a guitar in his hands.
Dale Noble sigh
Eh? For real though, the guitar parts are simple as fuck, but tasty - and on purpose. He's giving himself room to move vocally. And guys who are guitar players first have an easier time singing with a guitar in their hands than they do a capella. I ain't hating, I just don't fully agree with your enthusiasm.
Dale Noble of course it’s easier without a guitar. Do you think he had an unplugged guitar with him in the studio while recording the vocals or something? What are you saying? What is ‘it adds no value’ supposed to mean?
Dale Noble can you sing as good as him? I can understand an average singer playing guitar but a guy like this can do better without a guitar because he is a better singer than a guitar player
He used all kind of voices here ; whisperde , back head , mask , vibrato ,throat , falsetto , growl and full voice . The magic thing it's how naturally he did that. ANd , the sound it's totally a zeppelin sound wich influenced him the most .
*CORRECT!!! NOT ELLIOT SMITH*
And it's all cohesive. None of it sticks out like it doesn't belong. Incredible!
Jeff Buckley is the definition of raw talent.
If by raw talent you mean deeply refined
@@KingMinosxxvi Yeah, he definitely worked for it, but yes to both. What a loss for the world.
@@snoozieboi Who goes swimming in the Wolf river in the middle of the night fully clothed with army boots on?
One of the most beautiful voice i’ve ever heard. R.I.P Jeff
Jeff was unique. No one sounded like him. His voice is a strangely beautiful blend of classic rockers such as Plant and Daltrey, with loads of jazz/blues elements thrown in (think Billie Holiday and Nina Simone). We lost him way too soon.
He looked up to late nusrat fateh Ali khan the vocal OCEN 🌊 in the whole world 💯💯💯💯
Someone described his voice as "elastic" and I think that is apt. Amazing. Both control and flexibility.
Suzy Whalen Some have cited him as having a four-octave voice!
I've heard the studio version of this song so many times, that he can do it live just blows my mind....he was one of a kind.
FYI.....Jeff Buckley was a fan of Nusrt Fateh ali khan(Pakistani SInger)...Jeff likes to put give a eastern classical vibe to his songs
I love the Live at Sine CD where he does a cover of Je jo halka halka suroor hai
@@MrsBazzy Yep, it's beautiful.
Listen to You & I !
Jeff is simply amazing. I love the 'Live at Sin-e' album, my fave. You really get the showcase of his musicianship with the live performances. His guitar playing really shines along with his phenomenal voice when it's just him and a guitar in the cafe.
"Be your husband if you be my wife. I said I'll be your husband if you'll be my wife. Be your husband if you'll be my wife. Love and honour you the rest of my life."
Yeah, people always go on about his voice which undoubtedly was ridiculously brilliant, but understate just how great a lot of his guitar-work was, I've learned a few of his songs, "Lover you should have come over" being one I come back to time and again...I can PLAY that song quite comfortably, but even thinking of singing while playing all the flitty suspended and over chords necessary to make it worth listening to is just way, WAY out of my wheelhouse.
The progression is relatively simple, a D into a Cadd9 to an Em sort of thing but Jeff is constantly fluctuating around within those chords to add character, the D is hammering from a standard to a Dsus or Dsus6...the Em is using his upper strings to flit into Em9, Emadd9 and so on, it's never just one chord with the guy, he'll flit around into three or four variations to paint a musical picture. I can play it readily enough now (after quite a long time practicing) but his pulling that off and then singing with the melismatic , floaty brilliance he brings to his performances is just unreal.
Guy was an unparalleled singer, a REALLY good guitarist and an absolutely peerless songwriter...
That album is one of my all time favourite live recordings, he has so much fun with the audience yet at the same time the music is so raw and powerful and gorgeous. I haven't listened to it in a while, I think it's about time I did lol
I don't look like Matt Dillon do I?
It should be noted just how difficult it is to sing like this AND play as incredibly well as Jeff was able to at the same time is a whole skillset on it's own. We lost a real kindred spirit when he died... great reaction all around Beth, been waiting for this one :)
surely Jeff Buckley fans would have heard of or also be fans of the late Elliott Smith. awesome acoustic song writer.
Indeed. I found out about Smith because there's a picture of both of them attending a gig around 96. That's the same way I found out about the late, great Chris Whitley as well.
Two of my life's teachers
augart89 Whitley was absurdly underrated
Yep ... and Jimmy Gnecco from Ours...is amazing too
I'm a big fan of both Buckleys but can't stand Elliott Smith. Decent songwriter with one of the most unpleasant voices I've ever heard.
When I first bought his album back in the day I was floored by his talent, it was unlike anything out at the time and what is so surprising is it could be released today and still sound different than anything currently being streamed.. RIP Jeff Buckley.
That performance was just phenomenal, he embodied every note with so much passion
Chris Cornell wrote a song to Jeff in his Euphoria morning Album called “Wave goodbye”, please react!!!
Buen dato! No lo tenia, gracias
Vocally it’s so complex. Few could cover the range not to mention the nuances. He’s an amazing musician with great control.
This guy's singing is not only one of the big things to inform another of my all time favourites, Thom Yorke, but this track, in particular, was one of those stand out moments in my life that just stopped me dead in my tracks.
26 years later, and it *still* has that power.
Can you *imagine* what this kid would have achieved by now. His, was a sad loss to music and those that love it.
Seeing Buckley live is simply one of the most astounding things I've ever witnessed.
WOW! Watching Jeff sing this live gave me chills head to toe. Thank you so much Beth for doing this. Jeff is one of my all-time favorites. We lost him way too soon.
I'm glad you reacted to this one. He had a beautiful voice and he was such a fine guitarist, his playing style was unique. I have to mention the others, fine musicians and that bass line is stunning.
Matt Johnson is also a fantastic drummer, this is not a song with a simple rhythm.
Yeah, Matt’s drumming on all of JB’s masterpieces is in the pocket, subtle and powerful when it needs to be: just like Jeff’s playing and singing
Ah what a time it was, this for me was the absolute best time to be alive, the beginning of Grunge and everything that came along side it. Thank you universe for allowing me to be alive to experience THIS! I couldn't have wished to have been born at any other time. I had experienced Floyd, Zepplin, Hendrix and all those other ground breakers from my dad's record collection and then to witness this music era was absolutely a gift! This was the first time I ever heard Jeff Buckley and let me tell you I could feel every single emotion in every bar. I was screaming every note! I immediately bought the album and absorbed every track, and as you well know this album has the best rendition of Hallelujah ever recorded! This performance blew me away, I couldn't believe live music could sound so complete! He died too young and well before we had heard the best of him, like many others before and since! What a song, what an artist!
Him dying so early was an unbelievable tragedy. We lost a true angel. Not only is his voice transcendent, but, I mean look at him, he has an uncanny angelic aura to him. An indigo child aura to him. Such a loss.
❤️🔥🕊Irreplaceable Jeff Buckley. I saw him live in Australia on his Grace tour. There are so words sufficient to pay tribute to his mastery or his mystery. The sheer glory of that voice pulls us into the sky with him where we might soar or burn in those darker guttural growls. He’s an Angel of darkness and light and one of the greatest musicians this planet has ever had the privilege to experience.
My new favorite thing is watching vocal coach's faces listening to Jeff Buckley.
Please, Please, Please react to Last Goodbye from his Grace Album.
One of the finest recorded performances ever made.
Such vocal agility, flexibility and vocabulary of ornaments. One of a kind, for sure.
"Did you say, 'nooo, this can't happen to me'?"
Jeff wasn't human
Klingon? Ferengi?
There’s truly no one else like Jeff. Nobody can sing his songs the way he does. What a beauty. Bless him
More Jeff fans! Relieving to know you all are out here.
Just discovered "Vancouver"! Great song too!!
Jeff was a true wonder to music. Such passion and fire. A huge loss to the world. What an extremely talented and extraordinary man. Written some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard.
Beth, you should react to Down in a Hole by Alice in Chains (Unplugged), Layne just did an incredible vocal job on that one, unbelievable!
Yesss please....that live performance was amazing and really touching
According to Jeff Buckley’s friend, Chris Dowd, from the band, Fishbone, he, Jeff and Layne performed When The Levee Breaks, on the same stage, in New York City, circa 1993.
And the harmonies with Jerry Cantrell are so mind-blowing! Some of the best rock harmonies I've ever heard.
@@MojoPin1983 STOP!!!! Jeff and Layne performed together? oh my god...... I needed this
@Mary-Jay Thijsen Yes. Apparently, Layne loved Jeff.
Once it was Jeff I clicked instantly. God bless him
Finally, Jeff Buckley!
Yes!!!! Such a legendary performance!!!
YEEEEES, please react to more Jeff Buckley
" Dream Brother " , his best most haunting song !
There's a band called Ours, that really carries Jeff Buckley's torch.
Yes! Jimmy Gnecco
I also made that connection as soon as I heard them. Great band
You should listen to Corpus Christ Carol, his voice is operatic. Also his father Tim Buckley was also a musician, Song to the Siren is a great song of his.
@FIsto 96, I think the least jeff buckley wanted, was to be reminded of his dad.
You can hear Elizabeth Frazier sing Song To The Siren on the debut This Mortal Coil.
Once i Was, Morning Glory, Buzzy Fly...many others .
My fave Buckley song aside from "Last Goodbye".
Jeff Buckley ! You left us too soon! RIP ! ❤️❤️
Wow! He's so unreal! I also appreciate your lesson here, Beth! I heard him before, but I had no language to describe it, so thank you!! Perfect.
Thank goodness! My favourite song by him. Great reaction Beth, thank you!
Awesome video! Jeff Buckley truly was one of a kind. You should check out his father, Tim Buckley, he's actually my favourite artist. His Dream Letter concert in 1968 is just incredible and Tim was only 21.
Love your channel, Im learning so much about vocal performance. Thanks for all you do Beth.
I love how he gives it everything, and even when it sounds a bit off it is still great. So raw. Love it
Beth, thank you so much for helping to keep Jeff's art alive!...I never hear Jeff on the radio, so to expose him to a new audience is such a gift you are giving to the world...A world that desperately needs the beauty and truth that IS Jeff Buckley!!!!!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!:)
Such insightful analysis. Always feel like I learn something new.
Seen a few of these and yours was the best by far. Nailing not just the notes, but the delivery when you gave examples, was spot on!
Beautiful! RIP Jeff❤
Chris Cornell always brought Jeff's red telephone to his acoustic shows, saw it myself once! Silly thing but cool.
Been waiting for this one!! 😍
Jeff buckley is the reason i fell in love with singing.
Good on you for covering him Beth. It's hard not to feel a pang of indignation, even now, that his life was extinguished in the ascendance of his genius. Such a beautiful man, with a beautiful spirit. And in his singing - is this far-fetched? - he is like Damish's American cousin. There aren't many artists that merit the comparison, but Jeff Buckley has that same facility with his voice, and the courage. A son of famous musicians too. Perhaps that extreme musicality is something bred and nurtured from an early age. Rufus Wainwright would be another example.
I've waited so long for this. Awesome.
So glad you covered this performance in general. One of my favorite vocalists/vocal performances
You are always so positive and cheerful. Not only do I listen for the music, your analysis brightens my day.
I have wanted a vocal teacher reaction to this actual clip for so long....was surprised to see no one that I know of had done it before .....one of my favourite performances on UA-cam that I constantly go back to with Chris Cornells. Jeffs voice is up there with the absolute best singers of all time. Amazing arrangement and song writing too. He was a ridiculously good guitar player too...could do all the Steve vai stuff if he wanted to
This was awesome Beth! Loved learning about what made Jeff a once in a lifetime singer ❤️
You made my day ♥♥♥, thank You :) “He´s the tear that hangs my soul forever...♫”
Jeff Buckley was ahead of his time. Such a shame that the US keeps losing its artists.
True. I thought jeff is from UK
I wish there was a heart button for these videos because I absolutely love this channel and Beth you are awesome I can’t stand to watch anyone of the other vocal coaches on UA-cam because you are the best
Nailed on. He could move from chest voice to head voice absolutely flawlessly. I wish I could do that.
Beautiful imagery in your descriptions...it added to my experience of this perfect pieces of music.
Always a privilege to listen to Jeff. Really great to hear you explain what's going on technically. I just know emotionally it resonates with me to the core.
nothing ugly about pain passion love and hurt and a smidgen of Anger, i would call it raw emotion dynamic expressive free spirited vocals, his falsetto's taking him around a massive sliding note r range truly unique
I miss Jeff 😢 R.I.P.
Beth you are awesome, I loved this video, and your spot-on enthusiastic analysis.
She is very attractive & intelligent.
amazing voice-my best 90's album -wow a bomb masterpiece
So emotional! He's so unique🖤 I loved this react!! Thank u, Beth!
I've been wanting you to do this one. What a great surprise!
There's so much going on engage the listener, that's what makes it a timeless classic. His vocal styling, the incredible guitar work and his stunning looks. I love her comments on the piece especially towards the end, it's brave. Yes he was.
this performance by jeff makes me cry
goosebumps all the time,great singer
Your reaction at the end: priceless!
Jeff Buckley is one of the few male vocals that impress me.
I was lucky to have seen Jeff live. This just took me back there over 20 years later.
Try the Mars Volta if you want to hear high notes.
Jef Loonheers had the pleasure of seeing them live a few times...his vocals are ridiculous...i remember when he was screaming he'd have the microphone down by his waist and it still sounded so powerful.
watched this a few times now, as well as other Jeff stuff. incredible. is there ANYONE with a voice, passion like him? i have yet to find anyone as talented.
Thankyou.. Great analysis and articulation
Jeff brought down the house with this performance. So much passion and you can tell he leaves it all on the table.
Woo new video. Impeccable timing to refresh youtube :D
Omg, i love your content and i really wanted you to do this one
--Excellent conclusion. I love how you always empathize with the singers, even though it feels like you might be worried about where it's coming from.
this is so interesting to watch bc your obviously so knowledgeable and make really interesting comments!
Great to see a youngster feeling the deep emotions of the mighty chords, lyrics and voice of the one and only JB.
Real music from the heart is so much better isn’t it?
God damn i miss Jeff so much. He passed away when i was 3 but through his music i feel like ive known him my whole life. What i would give to go back in time to one of his shows and be in his presence.
Great video, Beth. Could you do something from Tim Buckley, Jeff's father? He has a unique voice and could do some really incredible vocal acrobatics.
omg, thank you for making me love this man even more. what a voice.
Beth is soo cute 😍 and Jeff i means its Jeff, you could react to some of his father too he was great as well even tho they didn't had connection with each other Jeff definitely has his creativity
I love your reaction in the end. Amazing live
Wow what a cool surprise! My fav singer and my fav vocal coach :d
I just love your description of this.
Ken Tamplin described it perfectly (in my opinion) when describing this same clip. “It’s not about the perfection, it’s about the passion”. Some artists get sick of performing the same songs over and over and tend to get a bit ‘lazy’. Not so with Jeff. Any time he had an audience he would put his everything, heart and soul into that performance. His breath control was something else!
I love jeff so much!!!
I can hear the influence from Robert Plant at moments
Ed Dee Love both but technically Jeff is miles ahead
I don’t think Jeff Buckley sounds like Plant at all. I don’t really get that. I cannot compare them at all. Do people say that because of that Brad Pitt interview and because Page liked Jeff Buckley? I know Jeff was a Led Zeppelin fan but I just cannot hear Robert Plant at all in what he does.
I have always thought Thom Yorke (Radiohead) and Matt Bellamy (Muse) sounds similar to Jeff Buckley. I suspect he had influenced them.
A R Campbell, I don't know what to tell you. It's there. Listen closer
I'm trying to find bits. Listen to The Rover at 1:15.
Also the first line of When the Levee Breaks.
..First few seconds in I Can't Quit You Babe, at 0:02
How many More Times at 1:27...and at 1:42..actually all throughout more as the song progresses.
..it is the gentle, lament-type yells and the way he ends his words...
.
Also, some Buckley songs have similar music moments to LZ . e.g. Last Goodbye sounds like this part in Over the Hills and Far Away at 1:15 .
Or "So Real" in Ten Years Gone at 0:27.
It is just little moments here and there.
@@09ledm Buckley is just very ethereal, delicate almost in style. So in terms of similarities I hear more of the Radiohead vocalist, and Muse. I always hear the young Robert Plant as being a very powerful aggressive singer, even if it's also high-pitched and acrobatic. It's just not an obvious comparison to me, and probably indeed more about those little moments with singing technique.
The fact is that Jeff was technic vs emotional side even if it needs loads of technical knowledge to go where he went. Plus he was a big fan of Edith Piaf and other "world" music influences. Sincere and sensitive and incredible interprète, what happens when all the good and bad feelings meet each other. A picture of our world in some sort and how he would leave it
He is truly one of my faves, no one did it like him!
It all started with Jeff's dad, Tim Buckley - who was one of my faves back in the 70s!!!! I loved 'Sweet Surrender' and 'Get on top of me Woman'. Going to listen to both now and feel nostalgic! 😍❤
Thank You for this time with Jeff! As a 60yr old Rockstar, I try to emulate the refined characteristics of these wonderfully gifted people! Makes me proud to be a human...
He was super inspired by the styles of Middle Eastern music. It gives it that haunting vibe. So beautiful.
