I have heard so much music and so many singers, but I have never found anyone who has done something comparable to vocal acrobatics of gypsy woman or starsailor
After all these years I still walk around the house singing Blue Melody and it only seems a moment ago that I first heard it-there was no one like Tim Buckley,
I saw this on PBS when it was new. I got to see Tim once, opening for the Grand Wazoo in Boston. All these years later and his music still rises to the top.
Really fascinating to see footage of Tim Buckley so many years after his death. I loved his music. The joys of UA-cam. Thank you for sharing this.Beautiful.
+séverine Guillarme Je ne pense pas qu'il y ait album live officiel de la période . Probablement parce que cette période n'a pas été très facile à vendre aux fans folkloriques ... apparemment le manager de Buckley n'a pas aimé la période Starsailor . Excuse my french: Excusez mon français
It really doesn't get much better than this. I closed my eyes for a bit and it was as if i'd traveled back to a time in my life... I feel others know this experience. Thanks BartReedMusic for the memories.
+Frank G. Sr. I thought I had already replied to your comment, but now I see I had not. You're very welcome friend, always good to make another person feel good.
what a great find ! I remember seeing Tim down in the village in NYC in the early 70's... my brother Maury used to play drums with him. he's on the LP Starsailor....wish you had footage of Maury playing with Tim. . the show I saw had Hall & Oats opening and I thought, wow...they're pretty good...bet they'll make it. they made alright ! thanks for this footage !
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for uploading this footage. Being able to see Tim Buckley preform some of my favorite songs live like this has been absolutely amazing. You are a saint, thank you so much
Just echoing Andrew House. Amazing artist, well, artists. All these musicians are wonderful! On those text comments I presume you inserted, thanks for the information. That said, I don't see the need to acknowledge "Tim's flaws." I think we know nobody's perfect, and personally I think too much bashing of our generation's foibles has gone on as a way to diminish the great things that the 60's counter-culture and rebellions accomplished.
I don't remember the thing you mean just know, however I somewhat agree. Personally I'd hear waaay too much hero worship and the word ''perfect'' was thrown around too, so that's probably why I wrote what I wrote at that time. Thanks for the message and glad you enjoy the music/video! Peace
Holy smokes! Why am I just finding this!!! In the late 60’s, I’d cross the border from Buffalo to Toronto to see Tim at the Riverboat. The electricity between him and Carter or Lee was hotter than anything. This was HappySad period. I would follow him anywhere. I still, have a pair of brown corduroy pants :). It wasn’t the same seeing him at the Fillmore, or early on at Newport. You needed to be in his forcefield to get the full buzz of his talent. Who put that bastardly curse on the Buckley boys?
Loved his music when it was released, but never saw him live... this is spectacular!! Fusion plus a 4 octave vocal range and words that are beyond one dimension .. thanks a lot for posting this fine work.
BartReedMusic Yes... I will be listening to this many times... it is the best! Terrific voice... feeling, and the words are potent as the sound. 100% thanks
The first time I listened this show was about eleven years ago, but never watched it until now. Some parts are beautiful beyond words: Tim is clearly at his peak. Lee Underwood's performance is indeed intense... What a wonderful upload. Thank you.
Lee Underwood was out his depth at this point, never knowing what to expect from Buckley, Underwood wasn’t too keen on the intense improvision. Buckley also didn’t like regular drum beats and would be pissed off if his drummer went into a standard beat 🤘🤘🤘
@@iainbrownmusic4017 Lee Underwood was not out his depth at any point. Ridiculous comment, laughable nonsense. Buckley "would be pissed off" if he read this shit all these years later.
@@truefunksoul8638 Your completely wrong, he left the band for this reason. I’ve read everything on Tim Buckley and know his music inside out. Lee Underwood couldn’t keep up with Buckley improvisational style anymore and quit the band. Go and educate yourself on the subject and come back with a more humble attitude you amateur.
Thanks a lot for posting, being an admirer of Tim Buckley's work, I think this is a marvellous document, Great to see such a passionate musician in a form of music, experimental and rare at his time. His voice is great.
I'm stuck for words for this man...If there are better words than absolutely amazing, I wana know them...10 outta 10 for the upload...It will be listened to a load of times
It's a shame that there' hardly any live recordings from this period. There has also never been an officially released live album from this period, which is a shame because, if you ask me, it's his best stuff right here. It's almost as if the labels responsible for reissuing his material is trying to erase this stuff.
Amazing and intense. True artistic expression that nails you to the wall. Up there with Coltrane. There are some live audios around YT that go even further out, with both Bunk AND Buzz- the unearthly voclas on those are from another galaxy. We were so fortunate to have him.
What a sublime document! Thank you for sharing and disseminating Tim's genius. I'm based in France & have long dreamt of organising a tribute event to Tim & Jeff in the line of St Anne's in '91. How about a great concert in NY or LA in 2025 to celebrate Tim's legacy? Anybody on for sharing their thoughts on this project? Thanks, Michael
Glad to sing some of Tim’s songs, Once I Was, Janie, Valentine Melody, I lit my purest candle...What if Tim had reached my age 74, what would he sound like . Play acoustic guitar. Can still sing high.
Who the hell decided it was okay to cut them off at the end? They probably went on for another 10 minutes here! It'll never be seen by anyone except those who were there! Faultless.
At around 23:00, does anybody know the symbolism of the numbers he is referring to? I have a rough idea of what it could possibly be, but am unsure what specific beliefs Buckley held concerning symbolism and number orders
That looks like a flugelhorn to me. Sounds a bit deep and dense for a trumpet. I read where Miles learned how to get the same depth from a trumpet, but it took work, so it could be a trumpet. Anyway, it's very good here. And add me to the thank you's. This is precious.
Saw Buckley & Hendrix in concert separately in NY 1971& 1970. Great concerts, however their music had nothing in common. Jam session would have been a mess.
Bizarre comment, their careers overlapped for a few years anyway but they were not beating paths to each other's doors to 'jam' together in those times, sorry.
+worthmoremusic - as far as I know (I have Maury Baker on facebook) he plays here, he's visible a couple of times too. Edit: turns out I was wrong, don't know who the drummer is though.
This performance is much more musical and engaging than most of his studio work, while still being incredibly adventurous and challenging. And the bass isn't out of tune like it is on all of $#@!!# Starsailor. No wait, it's out of tune here too. WTF dude.
@@Witregel u could try putting a low pass filter on the whole video very carefully just enough so it doesn’t tinker with the general audio of the perfomance but removes the high pitched ringing
This is the STARSAILOR period , live . Tim was already messing with hard drugs . Is LORCA more experimental , or STARSAILOR ? Either way , his folky roots seem far away . Deranged funk was still in his future , and he rode that awkward horse for three albums . What was he thinking ? Not easy to say .
"What was he thinking?" I wouldn't speak for the tragically young fatality that was Tim Buckley. Yet, in interviews and accounts of his peers in Greenwich Village and with the great guitarist of his Lee Underwood who was also an insightful lead accompanist and creative collaborator of Buckley's we can surmise some of Buckley's concerns. He cared about his relevance to an audience of soul seekers he identified with. Also, of an occupational niche and ability to raise his kid. Experimental artists often land broken and destitute. Sad but true in our Market Economy, without even one national Public Interest broadcaster that isn't captured by Market Forces and would provide challenging artists in all languages, styles, cultures and sounds a broadcast forum. Before U. of Tube was launched and bought up by Google dba Alphabet one had to go to the Museum of Broadcasting to see clips of artists on the various truly Public Interest broadcast channels that even far less wealthy yet culturally alive and indie-spirited nation-states like Finland and Canada and the EU states maintain. I was a kid when the Museum of Broadcasting opened in NYC and I used to go sit in a cubicle with a monitor and headphones, like today's PC and A\V Public Libraries, just to watch clips of such globally recognized classical muses as John Coltrane, James Baldwin, Ishmael Reed, Al Young, Zora Neale Hurston, Abby Lincoln, Nuyorican Cafe or Performance Poets like The Last Poets, Gil Scott-Heron, Amiri Baraka, Stew & the Negro Problem or other writers, theater folk and musical accompanists like Jayne Cortez with her band the Fire Spitters who were featured on and welcomed on Greece's Public Interest Arts TV, or Germany's multiple non-commercial educational and cultural Public Interest broadcast stations.

What year was this? See, when I add music to my playlists, they are ordered by year. You all need to start including the year for all videos for me. thanks.
This difficult music lost him many listeners at the time, sadly me as well, but I've come to more and more appreciate what he tried to do. However I am still not a fan of the trumpeter.
This is why Tim is my musical hero. He's the only musician of his time to combine free jazz with singer songwriting.
Tim and Band utterly feckin magical
a genuine Shamanic voyage ... that was actually filmed and recorded
otherworld realms ringing smoothly
with wailing swoops and tha whirling plunge
through boundless , and boundless again ...
soaring seer swoons , of true visions flight
voicing sights agonies, entwined
with ecstacies breathing light
tim buckley is too much underrated. I mean he is the greatest singer of them all
No
His rhythmic melody goes through all centuries, yes his is still real underrated
Yes, exactly. The Greatest.
Nobody comes close.
I have heard so much music and so many singers, but I have never found anyone who has done something comparable to vocal acrobatics of gypsy woman or starsailor
I saw him live in Ann Arbor in the late '60s. Absolutely incredible singer and guitarist, as good as anyone, you name it. Better.
Blue melody feels like someone is giving my heart a massage.
This is few days after the recording of Starsailor. Tim at his very high peak.
After all these years I still walk around the house singing Blue Melody and it only seems a moment ago that I first heard it-there was no one like Tim Buckley,
perkyporkpie So true. It makes me sad that he's gone.
I saw this on PBS when it was new. I got to see Tim once, opening for the Grand Wazoo in Boston. All these years later and his music still rises to the top.
I like the unusual textures present here.
A unique talent…..like his son. Live in London is probably the best collection of his wonderful music.

Institutional and Structural Racism of course in the U.S. is reinforced by Market Forces that enforce broadcast discussion parameters, dramatic parameters, linguistic parameters and the confining parameters of moral poetics.

Circa late 1960's as Buckley was moving into his jazz improv vocal mode.
Here's an amazing track over 10 minutes on totally taboo material even in 1968,
the Jim Crow south and from white southern sympathizer and musical mentor to
Tim Buckley, Bob Dylan and much of the southern Florida to NYC axis of folk, blues artists, singer-songwriter-12 string guitarist Fred Neil. May they both Rest In Play, RIP and their spirits remain P-R-E-S-E-N-T-E

Hypnotic and ecstatic reach for social justice, not vocally Buckley at his prettiest, perhaps, however at his most effective in serving the material and inhabiting his times all sense datum intact.........
Health and balance
Keep on doing!

You seem not to realize that the biggest (and perhaps the only) "kleptocracy ruled by oligarchs" is the US.
genial.
Musicalmente devastante, insieme a Jeff, perle rare
What year was this? See, when I add music to my playlists, they are ordered by year. You all need to start including the year for all videos for me. thanks.
Such a tragedy for him and Jeff. Special mudicians!
Thumbs down, who?
This difficult music lost him many listeners at the time, sadly me as well, but I've come to more and more appreciate what he tried to do. However I am still not a fan of the trumpeter.
Lazy as gorpit
This sucks.
Jeff Buckley fangirl alert!
Each to their own.
