Yeah but the guitar parts under the singing is dead simple in the verse/chorus and only slightly more difficult during the pre-chorus/bridge.

This has to be his best performance of Grace. Before the start of this performance, the announcer associates and compares him with his father Tim Buckley, who abandoned Jeff. They only met once, and Jeff was forever compared and overshadowed by his fathers legacy during his lifetime. He flips two big birds when this is mentioned behind the announcer! I believe he took this as a moment to give it everything he had, and use the anger suddenly brought up by the comparison to his father to try to put the naysayers in their proper place.

Yeah, people always go on about his voice which undoubtedly was ridiculously brilliant, but understate just how great a lot of his guitar-work was, I've learned a few of his songs, "Lover you should have come over" being one I come back to time and again...I can PLAY that song quite comfortably, but even thinking of singing while playing all the flitty suspended and over chords necessary to make it worth listening to is just way, WAY out of my wheelhouse. The progression is relatively simple, a D into a Cadd9 to an Em sort of thing but Jeff is constantly fluctuating around within those chords to add character, the D is hammering from a standard to a Dsus or Dsus6...the Em is using his upper strings to flit into Em9, Emadd9 and so on, it's never just one chord with the guy, he'll flit around into three or four variations to paint a musical picture. I can play it readily enough now (after quite a long time practicing) but his pulling that off and then singing with the melismatic , floaty brilliance he brings to his performances is just unreal. Guy was an unparalleled singer, a REALLY good guitarist and an absolutely peerless songwriter...

Him dying so early was an unbelievable tragedy. We lost a true angel. Not only is his voice transcendent, but, I mean look at him, he has an uncanny angelic aura to him. An indigo child aura to him. Such a loss.

There’s truly no one else like Jeff. Nobody can sing his songs the way he does. What a beauty. Bless him

This guy's singing is not only one of the big things to inform another of my all time favourites, Thom Yorke, but this track, in particular, was one of those stand out moments in my life that just stopped me dead in my tracks. 26 years later, and it *still* has that power.

Thank you universe for allowing me to be alive to experience THIS! I couldn't have wished to have been born at any other time. I had experienced Floyd, Zepplin, Hendrix and all those other ground breakers from my dad's record collection and then to witness this music era was absolutely a gift! This was the first time I ever heard Jeff Buckley and let me tell you I could feel every single emotion in every bar. I was screaming every note! I immediately bought the album and absorbed every track, and as you well know this album has the best rendition of Hallelujah ever recorded! This performance blew me away, I couldn't believe live music could sound so complete! He died too young and well before we had heard the best of him, like many others before and since! What a song, what an artist!

So emotional! He's so unique🖤 I loved this react!! Thank u, Beth!

Good on you for covering him Beth. It's hard not to feel a pang of indignation, even now, that his life was extinguished in the ascendance of his genius. Such a beautiful man, with a beautiful spirit. And in his singing - is this far-fetched? - he is like Damish's American cousin. There aren't many artists that merit the comparison, but Jeff Buckley has that same facility with his voice, and the courage. A son of famous musicians too. Perhaps that extreme musicality is something bred and nurtured from an early age. Rufus Wainwright would be another example.

I was lucky to have seen Jeff live. This just took me back there over 20 years later.

7:55 she is scared shitless because she can't describe how he sang nor can she teach it. Raw emotion and something that cannot be emulated.

I've been wanting you to do this one. What a great surprise!

He’s the most expressive singer I’ve ever heard. I still cry when I hear him sing. Every. Single. Time.

I have wanted a vocal teacher reaction to this actual clip for so long....was surprised to see no one that I know of had done it before .....one of my favourite performances on KZread that I constantly go back to with Chris Cornells. Jeffs voice is up there with the absolute best singers of all time. Amazing arrangement and song writing too. He was a ridiculously good guitar player too...could do all the Steve vai stuff if he wanted to

and now we enter the realm of sublime..
