I didn't know he was dead

lover you should have come over
dream brother
eternal life
mojo pin
lilac wine...

and pretty much the whole Grace album... it really is a must buy. I wouldn't go with anything from Sketchs for my Sweetheart.. or the live stuff until you've heard the genius that is Grace.

anything!! his debut album Grace is lovely, and Sketches for my sweetheart the drunk is good too, thats all ive got tho. my fave songs are Lover you shouldve come over, and last goodbye.

LUZ

Kali, thats true, get Grace first!

The tim/jeff biography Dream Brother is a very good read as well, regardless if you like or know their music or not.. very well written unlike a few other biographys i've read recently, No One Gets Out Of Here Alive, (on Jim Morrisson) springs to mind

i liked the pearl jam biog, 5 against 1.

I heard Jeff Buckley version of Dylans "I Shall be Released" on Today Fm (Glen Frames standing in for Donal Dineen) a few weeks ago. It was recorded live on some radio station in the States with Jeff singing the vocals over a phone line to the station and other lads playing guitars and backing vocals in the station. It was all very impromptu and really really good. Jeff actually sounded like he was having a great time. Anybody know if its available anywhere?

Wow, 5 years...

I concur, Grace is a masterpiece, 'Sketches' is excellent too, but only after your introduction to Grace.

True, except maybe for Live at Sin e. Just so you see where songs like Eternal Life came from before they went through the Studio mill. THe intro is class, where he starts it like his Da's ' i never asked to be your mountain'

Genius...

Bateman

Passing of a genius, no doubt about it.
Are there any events to mark this? I am sure Dave Fanning will be playing something.

mise

i'd recommend "live a l'Olympia" after u've heard Grace, a great version of Lover..., and some other great songs not on his debut, Thats all I ask and What will u do.
5 years hmmm.... music lost one of its great

"I love u baby, I'll try to be better for u"

beardedchicken

that was yesterday???? i can't believe i missed it!!!

darthmise

If i was to recommend something it'd be The Eternal Life EP. Amazing live versions of Lover..., The way young lovers do, and eternal life, studio and live.

That and sin e ..... as i said before like....

Beruthiel

would it upset you to know I saw him live.................

Lolo

You and half of Dublin, seeing as he played in Whelans and the Tivoli.

roxy

Didn't he play the Trinity Ball at one stage? Maan, I wonder did them young pups know just how lucky they were. Seriously.

nope.

Live at L'Olympia is an excellent album....esp. the version of Kashmir by Led Zepplin...funnest thing I ever heard...

One thing that does drive me cracked is the way they keep releasing *new* albums and then charge a fortune for them....

The only people that are getting any money from this are Sony records....

... and Jeff's mother who seems to be a complete greedy cow, many fans have questioned her intentions.

Deco, does your sig thingy have something to do with the band Turn?

Yeah, but its either her or Columbia.

mise

fine, maybe she's making a lot of money out of this, but some people might want to have as much of his material as the can. Also nobody's forcing anyone to buy the "new" albums, so obviously there's a demand for them

Grace is one of my all time favourite albums. Buckley is just amazing I have never heard a vocalist who can rival his range.

Such a loss

Eh my point is that she is forcing ppl, she closed down the biggest jeff buckley bulliten online, which used to be die-hard fans, she's also gone to huge lengths to stop ppl sharing bootleg material. It's now obvious why as she releases yet another live album and reaps the profits. There are so many great jeff gigs and rare songs that ppl don't get to hear, its a shame she just won't let everyone share them.
