"On the subject of dedication to a craft, in addition to talent, it was, and especially the singing, were so original, so powerful, and so accomplished, that the tragedy of his loss, after making only the one record (though a flood of demos and live recordings was released in his wake), seemed ever more poignant. It was clear to me that Jeff Buckley had been one of the few Great Ones, a one-in-a-billion talent, a true voice of his generation, and at thirty, he had hardly begun. Whatever is left behind in the passing of a rare talent, so much is always lost."
― Neil Peart - Drummer from Rush (Traveling Music: Play Back the Soundtrack to My Life and Times)
(From Classic Rock Magazine) Interviewer: "What gives you the most satisfaction as an artist?“
Neil Peart: "When I found out that Jeff Buckley was aware of our work… to have been a part of the inspiration for a talent like that! I refer back to that Bob Dylan quote. As an artist, what else can you do for people but inspire them? That is the absolute highest goal.“

Not many people know that Jeff was a RUSH fan himself. Back in 1982, I had the opportunity to play with Jeff and we covered several RUSH tunes in his garage and I still have those recordings tucked away. He was in high school at the time.
You gotta post those
@Bradley Fletcher Thanks for commenting. I actually shared an excerpt of Mahre Beckham playing The Spirit of Radio (see the video description), as shown in the BBC documentary, Everybody Here Wants You.
Would you be willing to speak with me in private regarding the aforementioned recordings? Please let me know if we can chat via email, social media, etc.
@@MojoPin1983 Jeff had no problem covering Rush. He had covered several RUSH tunes with Paul Derech and I at about the time he was in Mahre Buckham. Since he already had a band at the time, we only rehearsed this material for fun. Paul went to school with Jeff and brought me in to play with Jeff because I already knew several RUSH songs on bass. Paul recorded these sessions and I was not thrilled at the time because I was not interested in hearing our mistakes but I am thankful he did because I don't have any photos with Jeff. Paul and I delivered to Mary Guibert a copy of this material when we were invited to see the release of the Mystery White Boy DVD at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. Mary remembered the times we played at her house and remarked that I was the one who used to rattle the dishes off of her wall.
@@bradleyfletcher5518What was Jeff like?
@@imAsh21 Ashton, That is a question that could take a while to explain. I can tell you the reason I liked Jeff at the time is that he was very talented and could play anything he heard first time out. He was also very intelligent and intellectual. He had a way with words and he had strong opinions. He was quick witted and had a very funny sense of humor. He, at that time had not found his voice and was a guitar player and took his guitar everywhere. I did not imagine his as a singer but I did think he was destined to be a studio musician. Not bad for a 15-16 year old.
Jeff was amazing
I Always Look Forward To New Video Content From This Channel. (To Me It's a Priceless, Gem Palace Of Rarities) Thank You For Continuing To Keep Jeff Buckley Alive & Well In So Many Ways. ✌❤
@My Soul's In Sound Thank you. God bless.
I remember listening to that ken Bruce radio show.
But I've got to admit, when I saw the photo on your post , I thought it was Bono .
I think geddy and him are becoming the same person Ha! 😆
I love this !
Justo estaba escuchando Eternal Life, y pensaba mientras disfrutaba, lo parecido al sonido del bajo de Geedy Lee, en el Counterparts de Rush. Salvaje, y claro, con una distorsión precisa. Me pregunto si habrá sido alguna influencia de las bandas de esos años, las producidas por Steve albini: Nirvana - In Utero por mencionar alguno. O el disco de su banda Shellac - At Action Park. Ambos justamente lanzados en el año 94'
Si les gusta el sonido del bajo de Eternal Life, deberían escucharlos.
Abrazo Mojo!
