Jeff seems so ethereal to me, so angelic, I sometimes forget that are still lots of people who really knew him personally
I have the same feeling ...
I saw Jeff Buckley live and he was a very unique performer that had tons of charisma, super natural voice, and created a distinct atmosphere with the crowd. I want to say the crowd was standing the whole time (but I got there late) and we were in complete awe of what we were experiencing. It just felt very special or magical. During the show, I was blown away by his effortless vocal range and the haunting harmonizing melodies from the band. It was one of the most memorable concerts I've ever attended.
I saw Jeff in Adelaide, South Australia at his 1994 concert after party. He was sitting on a black leather couch by himself & quietly strumming his guitar, he stood up as I approached him, I was gushing like the 21 yr young female fan that I was & he took my hand & kissed it gently saying " Hi I'm Jeff, what's your name, as I've seen you in my dreams?"
OMG, you can't even begin to imagine what was going through my young mind? I nervously mummbled "omg I love you & your my soul mate, Simone by the way" I was such an idiot & had in my head how cool I was going to be & how demure I wanted to come across to him. But no, I embarrassed myself big time. He was such a gentle soft spoken gentleman & definitely earth bound angel. One of the best moments in my life by far. Devastated hearing of his death. Feel like a piece of me died that fateful day.
RIP. Jeff Buckley, thank-you for not making me feel any less than you. Fly high forever loved in eternity. Your music will never die.

ETERNAL LIFE, FAVORITE SONG.
Simone Vandermeulen OMG, I wish I had been there
Wow! What a story!
Liar
He liked to fuck.......alot.
AngelSimmy Vandermeulen that story is beyond gay
AMAZING!!! I barely knew Jeff Buckley when I lived in Memphis,Tn and used to see him perform every Monday at a club called Barrister's. I loved to see him play the jukebox by himself and jam Led Zep and Prince because he seemed to be a loner. He liked Memphis because nobody cared His fame...just don't be a dick. His last night playing in Memphis, he came in the bar wearing a zoot suit and a 40's type that and was noticeable upset because the lead singer for the band Brainiac died. He drank wine and was a little off in performance...I left early but he was such a cool guy to talk to...gone way too soon. This type of artist only comes once in a lifetime. I truly miss him.
Thanks for sharing your story!
To me, he was a combination between Whitney Houston and Kurt cobain l wanna make a video about it
Oh wow, this is pretty cool. I heard he was pretty quiet off stage but a diff person on stage.
He was awful his last show, angry with the crowd. Yelling at the "pasty white," girl that insulted him. I think she thought she was being playful. He was drunk, in mourning, saying that we liked our rock stars dead.
I miss him with every fiber of my being but I cant paint a pretty picture of that night. I also left early, which upset him more...and I still feel horrible for it..
Barristers is what, a parking lot now? Mike made that hole in the wall legendary imho. The Grifters, Guided By Voices, Pansy Division... It was a time in life I will never forget. Just wish it weren't linked to tragedy.
@@justslidingthrough8378 how was his performance? Was he off?
She said something so true, that fans who didn't even know him personally felt his death as the loss of a close one. I found him a few months ago, and from the first time I heard his voice I immediately fell in love. It's as if he touched something inside me, that makes me very sad. I bought Grace when I had the chance, it's the first album that I have and I'm glad it is. His singing is simply angelic, it drags me to an unreal place. I quickly found out about his death when I searched about him, wondering why he didn't have more works with his name on it. It broke my heart. After listening to the BBC documentary, Everybody Here Wants You, I almost cried. Life is...so unfair. I wish I had a superpower to travel back in time and prevent his death. I know it would have done wonders if he could have stayed with us a little longer. And I would die to see him live. Thanks for the interview, both the girl and Dave, it's good to know more about him, from someone who knew him personally. I don't believe in anything after death but.... I hope he's out there somewhere doing well...
"He applied to be a butterfly keeper at the zoo..."
and why butterflies have been attributed to him for a while now...well, it's in the other books as well.
@@Melophile74 he used to call his ex girlfriend Butterfly. On the back of the Live at Sin-è album he thanks her, calling her that. Idk, just a little fact :)
@@veroniquemcfadden397 yes, yes I did 🦋😉
He wanted to vibe
Something is really REALLY weird and off about his death and last 2 weeks like its awful
I chatted to the bassist Mick Grøndahl earlier this year! i NOW have his autograph! lovely bloke. He signed my Grace vinyl sleeve for me! thanks Mick! C.P.
Dave wrote my favourite book of all time, he genuinely keeps jeff's best interest in his heart
I met Jeff when he was playing gigs in London. John McEnroe the tennis player was his roadie. The gig was Upstairs at the Garage in Islington, Afterwards a few fans and Jeff walked to the 12 Barre club to play there as it had a later licence. I recall there was a Goth lady who was dropping the petals of white flowers with him as they walked along, they talked of life on the road and him missing having a 'bathlife'. Many years later I helped a pal who to move from her flat in Madia Vale to a Dutch barge house boat on the Thames. She was a Canadian Musican called Marieanne who had supported Jeff when he did the Mystery White Boy tour. She gave me a present for helping her move out, it was Jeff split guitar pick (Yellow with the exploding skull logo). She told me he handed it to her stage left during a show, in Montreal I think.
Mr. Buckley had INTEGRITY. Love that man's legacy. Thank you, Dave, as my copy of your book was delivered today.
I thought my nose was whistling. It’s not me.
Great interview though. Jeff would be so good on today’s music scene. He would crush it. I really miss him and his music
Yeah ...I had to watch it twice... the interview... I'm trying to trace with a whistling is coming from...damn🤣
Definitely is Dave’s nose lol whenever he speak the noise is gone. He stops talking and the noise is back
I just want to give Dave Lory a big hug. You can tell he really loved Jeff just like I love my former bandmates. People that haven't put that kind of work, time, and soul into creating something bigger than the sum of it's parts will never understand the bond you have with that family. And when you will never see or hear or laugh with a member of that family again, it is a deep dark wound that never completely stops bleeding. All you can do is keep changing the bandage and try to keep it clean.
This is such a cool account to hear from, so much genuine care for him and his memory.
It's great that finally someone who appears to have Jeff's interests at heart is writing about him.
I would give so much to go back and see him at The Metro in Chicago, a place I was at many times a week in the early-mid 90’s (still go there, but now my kids do more than me, as is proper and cosmic 😉 ) I saw Pumpkins there in the 90’s all the way up to Aurora in the recent past. The neighborhood is so commercial now, it makes me cry, but Metro still stands nearly unchanged. It’s pretty hallowed.
I don’t know how I missed Jeff, but that show literally takes my breath away. Having not seen him live takes my breath away.
I feel similarly about missing the White Stripes back in their heyday, for different reasons of course.
Go see the shows. Go experience as much live music and art as possible. From garages to basements to bars to small venues to big ones.
These are the gilded memories, and it supports singer songwriters. Artists.
The last part was very bittersweet. I’m glad that Dave is going to really try and move on. I honestly think that the last thing that those that moved on would want is for their loved ones and anyone else really, to mourn them forever, i’m sure they want those they’ve left to be happy..they want them to live their lives instead of being hung up on what happened. I read in the book that buckley said (from wherever he is now) that he’s is a good place, from that physic Dave visited. I believe that...anyway great great book, I missed his book signings though in New york :/ wish I would have known about them
Wow... I cried when I heard the bracelet flying away
I have so much respect for Dave after watching this interview, he really seems like a genuine respectful person
I don't get that vibe at all. You can be sincere all you like but this isn't feeling from a place that is authentic. Someone get me the body lingo expert. Do you think in a music industry that is a 'bloodsport' the management that are nice get to the top. Last thing he says is fight Sony and you can have the rights to everything I've done ! C'mon.
@@sunilcunningham3080 He’s not apparently contriving or hiding anything. He’s a manager with certainly little training in interviews, which I can tell from the nose whistle. But in his relaxed posture, consistent 3 seconds of eye contact naturally maintained, and open palm gestures in discussion he has a genuine demeanor in the entire interview.
Wow, I remember listening to Jeff as a 3 year old. My mother would play his music, and I dont know why for some reason his death still affects me and I sidnt know the guy! But I have been able to grow up with him In a way. It's even more tragic of just knowing how he died and that he just was seeking a normal life
This is a great interview. Very revealing and thorough. RIP Jeff.
This book is a must have for Jeff's fans!...If you're not familiar with Jeff's music - which is so many people because Jeff's music is never played on the radio! - please check out his Grace album...It's a revelation:)
Beautiful interview, and really loved hearing the live clip @ the end of the song Chris wrote for Jeff
Thank you Dave for opening up...
Great interview. So interesting. Thank you for getting this out there
I wish he had had more time to work on My Sweetheart The Drunk, even though they are unfinished Morning Theft, Jewel Box and I Know We Could Be So Happy Baby are some of my all time favorite songs
“Vancouver” is absolutely brilliant.
What an amazing human Dave Lory seems to be…grateful for Jeff & also very professional & humbled…
Seems he chose to write this book not for the money but for the honor…
Such a loving friend.
Thank you, Dave.
This interview was amazing I couldn’t help but shed a tear or two 😢
This book is phenomenally written. Thank-You Dave Lory, for sharing your memories with the rest of us. xx
This is brilliant ♥️♥️ thank you for sharing. When I was 5 I met Jeff when he was in Melbourne ♥️ we hang out and coloured in my book🙏 will never forget seeing Jeff wave me goodbye
That’s so sweet
You were 5? At a show alone?
@@mikesweetwater3209 yes sir I was 5, I could say it’s the perks of having a wild mum, But no, It wasn’t a show, It was at a photography studio. Cool assumption though 👍
Fantastic interviewer!
this interview was great !! good questions!!
Thank you, Dave!
Fishbone was such an awesome band. Chris Dowd and the other band members were so talented and very underrated.
Great interview Isabel!
Ok so now I want to get a hold of 'live at the wireless' the live album that Jeff approved. Really great interview, Thanks
great info! so cool, thank u
Someone who knew Jeff as well as me. It is nice to hear. He really gets it.
I too can rarely listen to his music as it is too painful.
2 minutes in, and Already hate it even more that he died, as if that was possible, and I am truly sorry for Dave. This is the 3rd time Ive seen an interview with him, regarding his tenure as Jeffs manager, of course, and holy shit - the guy truly seems like one of the great managers to have, which makes his loss even more saddening, though second hand...
Jeff Buckley and Chris Whitley. Two incredible talents we lost too soon. Jeff's own songs are iconic, and there has never been a cover of Leonard Cohen's song Hallelujah to touch Jeff's. He essentially owns that song.
Thank you for bringing up Chris Whitley. Also another Mercurial Talent, like Jeff - tortured, and too sensitive for these Vicious Days!
I absolutely adore Cohen, but I agree Jeff made that song in it's most beautiful form. I feel like Jeff did that with every cover he did. Especially his covers of Dylan. If You See Her Say Hello slays me.
wow...great interview!
Nice, thank you!
Love !
Hutchence died the same year JB passed. Dave says it was 3 or 4 yrs after. Weird memory lapse
kevtruth it shows how long it was for him
Thank you , Thank you.
Dave Lory, why it won't let me put your name in the comment
This girl asked the right questions!!!
My uncle Gary Lucas wrote the book "touched by grace". I'm sure he knows him. He played guitar on grace and mojo pin. I invented a new guitar fretboard design @groovefretboard
YOUR UNCLE IS GARY LUCAS? HELL YEAH HE KNEW HIM!!!
Your uncle is a living legend.
Hey, they wrote those songs together. lol Are you sure Gary is your uncle? LOL
My friend, James R Hunter (The Dark Poets) worked with your uncle on their joint album Beyond the Pale, it was the last album James did before he sadly took his own life. It was a wonderful collaboration.
who the fuck cares that you invented a new fretboard design??? This is about JB, not you, you pointless fuckwit.
21:08 man, i would LOVE to hear this live show.
Here ya go bro ruclips.net/video/o6hjRTmoudU/видео.html
From radio.abc.net.au/programitem/pezLj44y93
@@fnq2 that's him in AU in '95 at the phoenecian club. dave speaks of 'live at the wireless' from 'when they had been touring together for 3 years, the last time they played in australia.' so no, not the same thing.
Watching this my eyes are drawn to the centre of that couch as though he’s there pulling funny faces.
would love to hear tapes of him playing fusion with danny carey
Well there's a missing link to the dead Rockstar Press Darlings. Lory's connection to Cobain, Buckley, Hutchence, Cornell is a golden thread. I wonder if Chris Cornell's red telphone on stage is ringing off the hook.
Where was this? Are you based out of NYC!? Thanks for this! Awesome, just letting him talk!!
I listen to every JB album once a year
Reminds me of a story of Layne Staley disappearing during a tour in Japan or somewhere and he was bar tending or something ??
He said he wanted to feel normal
They both have that non arrogant front man and bit softer for the music industry
Keep up the good work!
Thank you for this. What he said about artists was good to hear about and would be great to elaborate when he can-the deaths. The club you don't want to be associated with. Chris Dowd sounds great, beautiful.
Amazing this is recent. He talks of Chris Cornell-friend of Jeff. Same fate. Death by industry
Death by industry? What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Death by accident/misadventure and death by being a drugfucked middle-aged suicidal rock star are two very different situations. Cornell killed himself leaving a beautiful daughter without her father, so any attempt at linking that to Jeff's tragic demise is truly sick.
Chris Dowd was Jeff's friend, that's the Chris your thinking of. He was a member of Fishbone
@@truefunksoul8638 How do you know he killed himself? It's very easy to stage a suicide. Some believe it wasn't a suicide ..
That girl is gorgeous damn, Jeff Buckley is a legend R.I.P.
If you like your women caked in makeup. I was always told u can't polish a turd
@@OnTheBait you're a troubled person
Nah A isn’t that far off. She’s nothing special.. gorgeous is not the word at all. She has too much makeup on as well
@@HelloSpyMyLie thinks she wonders what you think about her face, or cares?
@@lilgorgo probably has low self esteem, forgive me
Great interview.
10:00 jeff was a composer 🌟💘
17:29 psychic story about Jeff 🔮
Yeah, that's great! You can't get away from the psychic component with Jeff. He channel his own feeling and expression. He was the essence of the energy. His soul would show :D His spirit would interact through symbols after passing such as that bracelet and an actual "fallen star"? His lyrics before his passing and foresight of giving his music to Dave before passing.
@@cookmoore3736 He channelled the whole of Grace from his ' higher self /spiritual realm ' i don't know if you were aware....
@@mojopin70 how do you know that ?
@@mojopin70 Where did you hear that?
@@D4n1t0o on the album. If you can’t tell from listening to Grace he was channeling something celestial, you’re missing out on some goosebumps I haven’t felt in over two decades.
It’s like the feeling you know you’ll never fall in love like you once were with someone again. It feels like a vibration most aren’t built for, or able to endure.
Farkin blow ya nose mate
Great interview ; and she is very cute
Hey Isabel, what interview was it that you quoted Jeff saying "It is bull shit to try to own the world when you are young, and that you don't actually explode until you are about 47" ? I like that.
The story of JIMI, Janis and Jim - he should've mentioned Jimi Hendrix in the same breath
I want that book!
So do I.
maligvojic It is a good read. I received it for my birthday this year. Made me feel so much closer to the person that Jeff was aside from just his music and legacy.
Don’t say a word more... I am gonna roll over and cry...
I’d love to hear/see what kind of bracelet it was ?!
I’m 3 years late and a dollar short, but this appeared on my RUclips page today. That algorithm is scary. The the bracelet Dave is talking about was one that his Jeff’s ex, Rebecca Moore, made for him. It was made from small tiny silver beads all stacked together around the entire bracelet. She used threads from a shirt of his to loop the silver beads in. It faded over time, like silver does when you don’t clean silver. If you watch closeups when he’s playing guitar, it’s on his his wrist, loosely hanging, along with another bracelet he wore with it that had colored beads on it. Jeff made that one. I think you can catch a good closeup during “What Will You Say” live at Glastonbury. He never took it off unless it fell off. He wore it closest to his hand so it took a beating from his strumming. It meant a lot to him so you can tell how much Dave meant to Jeff when he gave it to him. I only know this story as I worked for Columbia then, behind the scenes on the team. No one who worked with him has ever gotten over his loss and I am only now able to watch Dave’s interviews ABOUT Jeff. Still haven’t read the book. I lived through it. One day I will read it as Dave is the kindest, most honest, generous and trustworthy “music industry” folk I ever worked with. He’s just a straight shooter, zero bull. I’m glad he’s finding peace. He deserves it and Jeff would want that. Save’s wife, Sam/Samantha, is a total sweetheart too. Much love and respect to them both❤🙏
@@anti-monkeybuttitch5258 omg this is so heartbreaking to hear but thank you so much for sharing
What's with the nose whistle lmfao.
Probably a bat in the cave🤣🤣
😂 I know right?
TISSUE?!?!?
What did he mean by charts? Like sheet music?
Yes
that dayum nose whistle
If you know his complete history , you must know that , bout my sweethart , he wasn't happy at all , he would have never realized the record like that , maf . He told columbia , if they still "press" on him , he should have realized a cover record , but not the new material .
I cant find Live at the wireless. Help
Here ya go bro ruclips.net/video/o6hjRTmoudU/видео.html
lol :)
@@fnq2 no. not it, dude.
She asked some really good questions. Can't wait to read the book.
I finished it about a week ago, I have been "sullen" ever since.......... Wish Jeff was still here
Who was the Irish artist he mentioned?
I want to know the “dumb joke” they bleeped out.
Can't make out what he says at 13:48 he told WHO he was suffering from deppresion?
Anat Goldberg Jone his girlfriend at the time
@@amber3368 her name is joan wasser. 'joan as policewoman.'
Didn't know Jeff had Fishbone ties
Hutchence died like 5 months after Jeff
I want to watch this so bad but I don't know if it is the cameraman or what but I keep hearing this sound like someone's nose whistling through out this video. It is very distracting.
these videos have been popping up in my youtube feed, I always want to watch them, but I always stop them shortly after starting. I dont know Jeff Buckley personally and never will and I want to keep our relationship what it is.
Jeff Buckley and the lead singer of Starsailor look the same.
James Franco in spiderman!
nah. dude from starsailor looks more like a young Joaquin Phoenix. But coincidentally now you mention it . starsailor is the name of one of jeff biological father's albums. 😊
No they don't at all. Jeff Buckley had a beautiful face with ethereal look about him, whereas, James Walsh has sunken eyes and looks a lot more like Joaquin Phoenix, I think. Jeff Buckley looks more like James Franco, ironically, is supposed to play him in an upcoming movie.....!!!
Chris Cornell :(
The camera man’s breathing is so unfortunate lol
Is that the casting couch?
michael hutchence died less than 6 mths after jeff
This man's nose is very whistley. It's no surprise he went into music.
Michael Hutchence died 6 months after Jeff. ‘97 was a shit year. 🙁
Noose sensation 😭
jeff mightve been good at guitar but this dude plays the fucking nose whistle like a goddamn pro!
Bro behind the camera. Blow your damn nose
This guy became a manager because no band needs a nose whistle is his favorite instrument.
😂😂
I can’t wait, I can’t wait, tell me what a “genius” he was, and how this excuses any bad behavior he ever exhibited because he was such a “brilliant artist” blibbidy blabbidy boo.....and I actually love his music.
bro got a slide whistle in his nose
Met jeff in Memphis 3days before he went swimming. Tried to tell him it was a dumb idea to swim in that area. But dumbaz did it anyway. He definitely had an auroa about him. Heart broken over sum chick is what we all talked bout. Played pool for bout 3hrs with him kinda hanging out. Rip Scott.
Scotty moorhead
Awkward inter-generational atmosphere here. Interviewer will become more relaxed with time and less prep.
Luckily Dave was already driven to share without much prodding.
Stop breathing in the mic...😅
I want to meet the girl. Find me on the gram. Im in Santa Monica.
Gowl bag.
Not sure about ' not fighting it' by all acounts he was heard screaming for help not long after he was swept away ......
Mojopin 70, what a strange thing to say. I’ve not heard or read that even once. Not by the roadie who was with him when he drowned or any other source. In fact, he was singing Whole Lotta Love.
L P there was one report of a feint scream for help in the area but nothing’s confirmed
A woman heard a man yell help. Three days later they found his body.
Also, his buddy claimed they brought a boombox to the river shore and they were listening to Led Zepp and Jeff was in such a great mood feeling so good about how his album was going so far (don’t know if I buy this bc listen to his lyrics and his self-professed despair) but it’s in the book (his biography)from decades ago. Can’t remember the name of the biography, but the first sentence is his friend or bandmate quoting to the author saying “This guy’s a book.”
I had my personal hunches I still can’t say out load, but I don’t think he wanted to die. He wanted to feel better and he messed up. Bad choice, think he missed the love of his life Rebecca terribly, (fact checked this) and he had to make the stupid choice to stupid swim when he knew he couldn’t swim well and always feared it. He confronted the wrong fear.
His friend looked down playing his guitar he said and when he looked up he couldn’t see him. He must have been really zoned out. No blame, but just sad. Of all people, not this weird angel. The world really needed him.
Wanted to add, by “he didn’t fight it” the psychic meant he invited the opportunity by swimming when the man barely liked to wet his feet. Not a fan of bodies of water, so he did not fight it that day. He should have listened to the guy telling him not to swim, clearly wasn’t thinking straight. Undertows are terrifying.
The roadie was yelling from the shore. A marina worker heard It on the Mud Island side
Its too bad this guy was tricked by a "psychic" during Jeffs disappearance/death... Whatever helps you process it I guess...
Gibson1961SG dude you’re tricked and lied to by your government every day. You’re covinced you know what’s real, aren’t you? Ha!
I happen to know Dave and believe me, nobody tricked him. He's about as sharp as they come, real straightforward and down to earth.
Not really “whatever helps you process it I guess...” Nobody deep down wants to believe a lie, they’re afraid of believing a lie. So they just say no. Impossible. Guess what, so much possible we can’t wrap our brains around it.
Who turns down tv spots? It gives songs new meaning. Why does he a care about Sony? Just be grateful they want to put it out. Most artists wish for that type of press
Most artists are not Jeff Buckley though. He didn't care about publicity or want anyone to push his music onto people in ways he wasn't okay with, which was a wise approach.
Some things are sacred .......
@@sueelmy2363 yes amen.
he was a bitch about it but that's Jeff Buckley for you...he knew how to play 'em by the time he got signed (no longer a struggling artist), also heard he say something about not wanting to get too big too quick (though it's inevitable considering the circles he was in)
