@@adonaiyah2196 it's NOT bad though. The first disc is fine. I often wonder if they weren't tempted to get the second disc done with Jeff's demo vocal and The A.M. playing
This is one of the most incredible live vocal performances of all time. The lyrics are clearly so important to him when he sings them. “Father, do you hear me? Do you know me? Do you even care?” His voice is otherworldly. His guitar playing is insane. This song, matched with his skill/talent is like nothing we have seen since.
I disagree, mother is mentioned too in similar context and he'd have given probably his soul to be disassociated from this dad. Many videos of interviews say the same. I interpret the whole song as as a gates of heaven moment, that feeling pain isn't a collective but an entire individual experience and a play on that parents want the best for their kids but despite the 'care' the child still have to go through all the pain of that realization, the same. The gates of heaven moment that, you tried but you couldn't, what would you say? It's a humanity song, about undeniability vs best intentions.
+ZAK M Agreed, it might be one of the best live versions of ANY song hands down. Gives me chills every time. One of those rare times music can be like a religious experience.
If that wasn't just 7 minutes and 34 seconds of fucking perfection, then perfection musn't exist. We feel you, Jeff Buckley. Even without your physical presence.
I can see myself at 1:13. 20 years on its So amazing that my favourite performance of all the gigs I have ever seen is captured right here. I cried that day. Absolutely mind blowing
I do wish I was me ,I was at the same Glastonbury fes and probably stoned or tripping stuck in mud somewhere :( lol Did you get to see Radiohead ? wow they were incredible .If I didn't have ME so badly now and people to go with I would still go for sure .Do you still do the festival yourself ?x
This song (and performance) is like a freight train. Starts off slow and builds until it breaks through your heart and soul with an overwhelming wave of sound and emotion. Before you can know what hit you, the trains slows and you're there: Destination HolyCrapWhatWasThat-Ville. You might not have bought a ticket, but it's too late. You've been moved to another place.
Great images! Only one thing, when I get to the destination and I am in another dimension I have to go back and experience it again because I can't process the experience...I have to listen and listen again to try to understand what's happened...
Kudos to the band for keeping up with a non human creature like Buckley. They sounded amazing and caught in time every single improvisation Jeff did during his live performances. It is obvious they had a strong relationship between them. I wish I could know more about it,though.
There is an older interview with the drummer, Matt Johnson, on UA-cam. He elequently spoke about the transformative power of Jeff's music, and what a great leader Jeff was to the band on stage.
That shot at 2:15 i surreal and almost cinematic. Thousands of people giving their undivided attention to the moment without texting , eating or distraction
@@davidbattaglene68733:23- 3:33 That is one of the parts in the song that I like, how everything is building up to that point. The loud rasp contrasted by all the soft delicate notes. Very Yin Yang ☯️. Beautiful and unexpected 🎶 😮 his voice is building tension and the guitar is starting to go hypnotically slow. It’s mesmerizing 😧😵💫
I have tried. I contacted the head of Glastonbury to ask whether Jeff’s entire set would have been filmed, and he seemed to think so, but could not verify. Additionally, Glastonbury owns all the visual content and Sony owns the audio, therefore, in order for this to be professionally released, an agreement between both parties would need to happen. Why this hasn’t occurred, I have no idea.
i was thinking the same thing. this has to be one of his best moments ever with the band. very precious moment. wish there was a remaster of the soundboard of this soooo much.
I just can’t believe he can stay so still and composed while his voice belts out such a huge range so effortlessly. One of a kind, such an immense talent, gone far far too soon.
"What Will You Say" It's been such a long time And I was just a child then What will you say When you see my face? Time feels like it's flown away The days just pass and fade away What will you say When they take my place? It's funny now I just don't feel like a man What will you say When you see my face? My face... Mother dear, the world's gone cold No one cares about love anymore What will you say When you see my face? Father do you hear me? Do you know me? Do you even care? What will you say When they take my place? My heart can't take this anymore What will you say When you see my face? When you see my, See my face... I can feel your time crawling To a slow end I can feel my time crawling To a slow end... Mother dear, the world's gone cold No one cares about love anymore What will you say When you see my face? Father do you hear me? Do you know me? Did you even care? What will you say When you take my place? Well it's so funny now I just don't feel like I'm a man What will you say?
It's so good it hurts. I think I just decided this is my favorite time of all time. Always subject to change, but a certainty whenever I listen to it. So fucking inspiring!
JayPleezer304 There is still good music out there, it's just much harder to find than it was back then. But I'm convinced that it will be a long time until the world gets another Jeff Buckley. So much raw emotion, when I watch performances like this I feel like he's making himself vulnerable down to his core. Only a handful of musicians ever have had the guts to do such a thing.
Amazing, a masterpiece, Jeff Buckley was the greatest vocalist since Robert Plant. A tragedy, a loss, a terrible loss. But thanks to youtube and the internet there is a lot of material of Jeff's that we can enjoy. Thank you for sharing this.
what will I say...this performance is beyond expectations!it touches to the very depths of the soul...goosebumps all over...tears.. Jeff...eternally... 💞🎵🎶🎙🎸🔝♾
Jeff playing at Glastonbury 25th anniversary and next year will be the 25th year since we lost Jeff, and I still don’t think we realise what music lost that day
It's all a faded memory now but I think he played right after Everything But the Girl, acts that went on after were PJ Harvey, Jamiroquai, Orbital and Pulp.
Right before that last Orgasmically phenomenal note Jeff hits, i always hold on like it's a roller coaster, and it never fails to let me down. I have to write a book on my thoughts about this Beautiful man who enraptured all of us with myriad of emotions, and a voice that truly is unparalleled. Taken far too soon, but will be remembered in perpetuity. All My Love.
One thing that's always marveled me about Jeff is his tremendous guitar chops that he almost never put on full display. His reasons for not doing so are documented and I totally understand them, but they're another morose reminder that he'll never get the chance to (if he ever would have wanted to). Alas, we're fortunate to exist in a world where he made music and that's a pretty damn great.
The greatest song never recorded in a studio.
Greatest song ever performed live 🫠🎸🎤🧖🏻🎶
sad fact.
There could be better songs never recorded but you haven't heard them because they weren't recorded.
@rmcg5171 Jesus dude don't be that guy that takes everything literally to sound smart, it makes you look like an asshat
You said it my dude
I just can't stand the fact that we will never have a new album, a new gig, a new interview with the Jeff.
But you got "Sketches for my sweetheart the drunk': right? I'm so glad we have that
@@misterwtf7380 i wish it was finished though
@@adonaiyah2196 it's NOT bad though. The first disc is fine. I often wonder if they weren't tempted to get the second disc done with Jeff's demo vocal and The A.M. playing
He left us w beauty. Not every man really lives. I'm grateful
John Legend mentioned once that he was a lil intimidated being next to him because of this😃
The sadest moment of my life was when I realised I was at this Glastonbury but didn't see this.
Omg 😢
hands down, the greatest fucking voice I have ever heard
amen brother
Same
I post this same thought, along with one of his songs, quite a few times every year. He is the loss I won’t ever get over.
ha ha. Steve Perry wins that and it’s not even close. Jeff Buckley is up there though.
@@slashholt23The Oh Sherry guy?😂
Jesus was the only one swaying in the crowd. He felt it.
jajaja yes!!!
This is one of the most incredible live vocal performances of all time.
The lyrics are clearly so important to him when he sings them.
“Father, do you hear me? Do you know me? Do you even care?”
His voice is otherworldly. His guitar playing is insane. This song, matched with his skill/talent is like nothing we have seen since.
i've said many times, this song if jeff would have lived, would be huge. Probably one of the best song i've heard in my life.
Honestly you have totally nailed it with this comment. Couldn't put it better myself.
I disagree, mother is mentioned too in similar context and he'd have given probably his soul to be disassociated from this dad. Many videos of interviews say the same.

It's a humanity song, about undeniability vs best intentions.
He doesn't sing. He goes beyond singing.
Very very very very few do that.
I always feel bad to sing along. As if imitation is even possible.
I've seen this video a thousand times. It's just mesmerizing. He was out of this world. Kudos to Matt Johnson, by the way. What a fantastic drummer
U said it, man.
I love this video.
Only a thousand??, no really I'm probably nearing that. This is my favourite video on UA-cam
You can see Matt perform with St.Vincent if you're a fan.
fuck yes. i need a proper studio version
Best version of this song hands down.
+ZAK M Agreed, it might be one of the best live versions of ANY song hands down. Gives me chills every time. One of those rare times music can be like a religious experience.
Fallingardor Amen!
"Born again from the rhythm. Screaming down from heaven! "_ Jeff Buckley, Mojo Pin
Absolutely, this and the Rosklide festival version
between this and the frankfurt performance for me
If that wasn't just 7 minutes and 34 seconds of fucking perfection, then perfection musn't exist. We feel you, Jeff Buckley. Even without your physical presence.
This song driving in a car at night, smoking a cigarette. Hits so well
I can see myself at 1:13. 20 years on its So amazing that my favourite performance of all the gigs I have ever seen is captured right here. I cried that day. Absolutely mind blowing
Are you wearing shades and a baseball hat?
I see me too! I was the worse for wear and this somehow stuck with me.

@@timtompkins9751 ain't no way you're in the audience too

I'm listening in 2024. Jeff is a genius, now forever in my heart.

🎶 to my soul 🎶 ❤️
I love your comment so much ❤🥲
i was expecting the helicoper at 6:45 to explode from the angelic sounds

Let me Eat cake That would never happen today
Indeed amazing!
We were in awe. Bewildered and under his total control.
@@earnestbunny So great you were in attendance my friend, you should feel so lucky!! Peace.
Jeff's scream always gives me goosebumps.

So authentic. Is there's such thing as 'real' music, this is it.
WOW- Thats from the deepest part of his soul! He made his peace....
STILL waiting for the full video of this incredible set to see the light of day almost 22 years later .. someone dig it out already!!!!!!

I was working for his uk record company at the time and was lucky enough to witness this masterclass in a perfect performance..absolutely mesmerising
Please describe it in detail ☺️
Something about the guitaring that just feels perfect.
It's just fucking genius
i was thinking the same thing. this has to be one of his best moments ever with the band. very precious moment. wish there was a remaster of the soundboard of this soooo much.
You can really hear his nusrat fateh ali khan influence in this song. 💛
He has a lion of a voice. Its like he's not even trying
Brings me to tears every time! The soul of a musician laid bare before us.. still many unaware.
firegoggles, awww ur comment made me tear up :`)
Bruh this whole performance, just fuck me up
How did I never hear this...half a lifetime passed by me now. F, this is beautiful.
This performance will always make me cry. I just love him and always will…just in a class by himself.
Artist of all Artists is Jeff Buckley 🥲🥹🥲
The last “what will you say” comes from the heavens
Jeff sends me to another world
Still gives me chills, 26 years later. Every damn time.
it doesn't get much better than that...
I just can’t believe he can stay so still and composed while his voice belts out such a huge range so effortlessly. One of a kind, such an immense talent, gone far far too soon.
if i was in one of the bands playing after Jeff that day...I WOULDNT after that performance!!
An ocean of lucky people
"What Will You Say"
It's been such a long time
And I was just a child then
What will you say
When you see my face?
Time feels like it's flown away
The days just pass and fade away
What will you say
When they take my place?
It's funny now
I just don't feel like a man
What will you say
When you see my face?
My face...
Mother dear, the world's gone cold
No one cares about love anymore
What will you say
When you see my face?
Father do you hear me?
Do you know me?
Do you even care?
What will you say
When they take my place?
My heart can't take this anymore
What will you say
When you see my face?
When you see my,
See my face...
I can feel your time crawling
To a slow end
I can feel my time crawling
To a slow end...
Mother dear, the world's gone cold
No one cares about love anymore
What will you say
When you see my face?
Father do you hear me?
Do you know me?
Did you even care?
What will you say
When you take my place?
Well it's so funny now
I just don't feel like I'm a man
What will you say?
Being in his band had to be nerve-racking as hell you never know where he's gonna go
This has to be one of the Best live performances I've ever heard. Hands down!
I've heard covers of this song and absolutely nothing compares.
That was the most beautiful thing /performance I have ever witnessed.
It's so good it hurts. I think I just decided this is my favorite time of all time. Always subject to change, but a certainty whenever I listen to it. So fucking inspiring!
How many times can the same song break your heart?.
Probably watched this clip 50 times...when they come out of the guitar solo...his voice? WTF!!!!
Love how the crowd is just chilling and everyone is giving each other space to enjoy themselves. Something you dont see nowadays
I want Jeff, Chris, Layne, and Prince back. It’s just not the same without them...
15 years of listening to Jeff and I swear his music gets better with every listen. Thank you so so much for sharing
16 years old as well I'm so happy this is what I grew up with instead of the pop music now it's so over saturated and only about sex and drugs🙄
Wait I'm an idiot lmao
I thought you wrote "I'm 15 years old" at the time my bad😂
LOVE that vicious chord Jeff strikes @ 6:36 :)
This is my favorite song by Jeff.
I think his best vocal performance ever. Just so fucking beautiful. ♡
When he sings huge crowds go silent and fall in love with him.
I can never leave this song why hasn't this been remastered and released.
This is ' the voice of heaven!
20 years ago man...i was 12 years old in the sixth grade...wow...12 year olds dont have music music like this now...sad man

Jeff oh how I still miss you. You make me cry .
May his voice give joy and tranquility to all the souls in heaven.
happy birthday Jeff... your music will always be remembered.
The fastest 7:34 mins of my life. Used to have a great bootleg recording of this show that I gave out on loan that was sadly never returned.
so true, gets shorter the more times you watch it... i was lucky enough to be there, and his whole set felt like it went by in 7m 34s
@Radiofred was said bootleg audio only or video? The soundboard recording of his entire set can be found online.

Believe me even Robert knew and know, that jeff was by far out his league.
O´YES! R.I.P. JEFF! What a voice! You will be missed!
i was there.
(speechless)
I really wonder how many people left the performance thinking they've heard the the best vocalist who's ever lived.
What a fucking masterpiece. So glad this exists. Just wow
what will I say...this performance is beyond expectations!it touches to the very depths of the soul...goosebumps all over...tears..
Jeff...eternally...
💞🎵🎶🎙🎸🔝♾
Crying right now
Me too
Just an absolutely epic performance, really moves you 🎸
What can you say? This song is "it," man... what a voice, what a melody, what a performance. Grateful it was recorded.
Always so much made of Jeff's singing, and rightly so, but fuck me that guy could play the guitar. He was exceptional.
His best performance of this song by far
idk. i’d say the germany one is better
Jeff playing at Glastonbury 25th anniversary and next year will be the 25th year since we lost Jeff, and I still don’t think we realise what music lost that day
5:21 "Man, that song is so deep!"
I'd given anything to be able to time travel back to see and hear.....no....experience this insanely sublime performance.
Wow, I think I just heard my favourite song of all time for the first time!!!
Man where have u been
So so good. Such a shame Jeffs life got cut short. R.I.P.
i cant help crying everytime i see this, there's just so much emotivity
I came all the way from sunnae Houston & was dowthefront at this gig. Hands down best performer I saw in the 90's.
This is a wild performance. The crowd doesn’t even know what to do. Standing there in amazement.
24 years today without the greatest
1000 times I've watched this. Best performance hands down!🖤🖤
A 12-string Rickenbacker is the perfect compliment to Jeff’s voice ❤️
Don’t know who else played that day but I bet they weren’t happy to follow that performance.
It's all a faded memory now but I think he played right after Everything But the Girl, acts that went on after were PJ Harvey, Jamiroquai, Orbital and Pulp.
This performance by Jeff is perfection
This should have 200 million views

Take notice, youngsters- this is how it’s done.
His voice is perfection. Been watching this on an endless loop.
keep comin back to this over the years, might as well leave a comment \m/
Still watching Jeff x
I fucking love this song
Heard this song first 18 years ago. It’s still amazing.
I play this every birthday morning. It's my birthday today! I love this version.
The crowd is stunned...
Saw him play this at Portsmouth Wedgewood rooms. Stood right below him and I have to say, his presence was utterly mesmerising and magical…
we all know where we were, when we heard the sincerely *tragic* news. goodest boy...not long for this world.
Jeff being Jeff! What a honor to have had him.
Something else wasn't he!
Muhebur S Absolutely
Thank you for uploading this. It's probably the greatest live song I've ever heard.
