Cameron Crowe on the 20th Anniversary of ‘Almost Famous’: ‘It’s Never Been as Popular as It Is Now’
The writer-director on interviewing rock legends for ‘Rolling Stone,’ screening the movie for Led Zeppelin, and why the film still resonates after two decades: www.rollingstone.com/movies/m...
Q: How’d you secure the rights to the music?
A: "They took us across the street to a wine bar. They said, “Well, ‘Stairway to Heaven,’ we gotta say no to, ’cause it’s just too much. We just don’t do anything with ‘Stairway to Heaven.'” We’re like, “Whomp, whomp, whomp.” And Page goes, “But I would like to give you an extra song that’s more of an acoustic busking vibe; we’ll give that to you free.” He replaced “Stairway to Heaven” with “Bron-Yr-Aur.”
He gave that to us for free, just to have that texture in the movie, which was amazing. And we ran through the streets afterward. The rest of that meeting was spent talking about how much we all loved Jeff Buckley. Officially the coolest night ever, or the un-coolest night ever. I don’t know. That was a huge kind of buoy to swim to, because without Led Zeppelin, it’s just not the same movie.

It’s so beautiful how Jeff was granted his wish , he wanted to be remembered as a good friend ; and we all take him as a good friend, so many of us !

Without UA-cam I would have never been introduced to Jeff Buckley. That was about 3 years ago when I was a youngster at 68! And I’m forever indebted. Jeff was the most beautiful man with an amazing voice.

Me too!

I feel the same way about Jeff. Had a very similar discovery process too - 18 on a night bus in london with a lovely lass. Beautiful soul. Beautiful music. RIP.

Jeff has the ability to make you feel however or whatever he’s feeling while he is singing.

This channel is the beacon for unfounded footage of our favourite man
