This is exactly what his live performances were like, dead silence, with the audience forever in awe. Truely a once in a lifetime performer.

5:10 the amount of emotions he put in this line, so genuine it's impossible not to get blown away. rest in peace Jeff.

so weird how this looks new, like he never left

I sat on the front porch tonight, in the mountains, drinking an old whiskey, listening to this song mixed with the crickets and cool mountain air. It was the best 6 minutes of this year.

Just a reminder to everyone: This was live. How many artists can replicate that kind of perfection live?

This was before Grace was released, at the Middle East in Cambridge MA. Painfully intimate venue, probably like 50 people in that audience none of whom could have possibly been prepared for such sorcery. Lucky folks

No matter how far I venture with music, I always return to Grace

Some stars burn twice as brightly for half as long.

"She's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever" I'm sad that I'll never see this man live, but glad that his music will live forever. He was pure emotion.

It's crazy how clear this footage looks

We miss you buddy, hope you're doing good in whatever dimension you're chillin in.

I honestly think this is an instant classic. This song should be considered one of the best ever written. Can't understand how does it get so little attention.

who hasn't cried to this song 100000 times?

A couple weeks ago I introduced a local cashier to Jeff. Everytime I've been in there since there has a Jeff song playing.

Whenever I see live footage of him I always wonder if the people in the audience had any idea how special what they were watching was. I'd give just about anything to have seen him play

As a man, I'm not afraid to admit he was a beautiful man!

It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder It's never over, all my riches for her smiles, as I slept so soft against her It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever... Name a better verse in the history of music, I'll wait. Or even a better Jeff Buckley song for that matter.

The complete silence of the room and eyes looking up to him say it all...a legend that left too early

You've had this footage...this whole time....?

Insane that this has been kicking around unreleased and unseen by the public for 2 decades.

all these young men looking at him adoringly, how very appropriate. I love you Jeff. I'll always love you and miss you.

The world is so fucking empty without you, Jeff...

man, he was such an underrated guitarist too. Those voicings are absolutely gorgeous and he made them his signature sound.

all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter 😔😔

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ANOTHER VERSION OF THIS TO COME OUT!!

towards the end when he hits the high notes and then sings "you should've come over", that right there is pain I've never felt before. it's so real, how his voice breaks, so real, so magical. I've really been blessed by destiny to have stumbled upon this man.

LYRICS Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners Parading in a wake of sad relations As their shoes fill up with water Maybe I'm too young To keep good love from going wrong But tonight you're on my mind so You'll never know Broken down and hungry for your love With no way to feed it Where are you tonight? Child, you know how much I need it. Too young to hold on And too old to just break free and run Sometimes a man gets carried away, When he feels like he should be having his fun Much too blind to see the damage he's done Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really, He has no one So I'll wait for you and I'll burn Will I ever see your sweet return, Or, will I ever learn? Lover, you should've come over 'Cause it's not too late. Lonely is the room the bed is made The open window lets the rain in Burning in the corner is the only one Who dreams he had you with him My body turns and yearns for a sleep That won't ever come It's never over, My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder It's never over, all my riches for her smiles When I slept so soft against her It's never over, All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter It's never over, She is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever But maybe I'm just too young, To keep good love from going wrong Oh lover, you should've come over, yeah yeah yes I feel too young to hold on I'm much too old to break free and run Too deaf, dumb, and blind To see the damage I've done Sweet lover, you should've come over Oh, love I've waited for you Lover, you should've come over 'Cause it's not too late

it physically stressed me how perfect this was

Looks like he came back for six minutes just to give us this masterpiece. My favorite song of our Jeff, rip legend.

5:38 The last high note from this part gave me chills through all my body and made my eyes water, I'm not even exaggerating. What this man felt, what this man sang, it all was and still is so damn real

The way his falsetto singing voice softens at the end of the performance brings tears to my eyes.

An audience of men envying him of his vulnerability.

i feel speechless after this version

I've been extremely anxious about my life, where it was going and the meaning of it. The very meaning of existence and how am I supposed to live through it in this weird pack of matter that is my body. But crying my eyes out listening to this song brought me more comfort than any philosophical answer. Thank you Jeff, for all the lost ones you helped. In this, you truly are immortal

Just look at all those men in the audience. They are totally mesmerized. Who wouldn't be? I certainly would!

Crying, I can’t STOP CRYING!

I'm so glad to have been part of these no-phone audiences

It's never over Jeff Buckley ❤️‍🔥🥀

The thing that hits hard when watching Jeff’s live performances is knowing how the people who attended are only a select few compared to Jeff’s current fan base. These people there are so lucky to have been there, but they undoubtedly didn’t realize it, that his time would come not too long after this performance. Seeing him captivate the audience is like watching a magician doing the most amazing and unseen trick. Jeff, you were and always will be pure gold. Pure bliss. we miss you. Happy 25th Anniversary, Grace. 💙🎙

You are never too old to break free and run

Jeff, you should've come over

I wish this version was available on spotify... beautiful

"She is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever"

this man’s voice is so heavenlike

This changed me, forever.

Hands down, best performance of just a man and his guitar in the history of music. He makes the guitar speak with the perfect chords, and his voice never let's the listener go for a second.

ETERNO! Simplesmente imortal! Obrigado, Jeff.

I cannot believe it's been 25 years. My God I'm old.

En el 2013 escuchaba mucho Muse, la banda inglesa de rock alternativo. Cierta noche solo en casa, escuchaba uno de sus primeros conciertos en KZfaq, la manera de cantar de Matt Bellamy me gustaba bastante, era triste y sublime; pensé que era pionero en su estilo; hasta que bajando a los comentarios, estaba uno de un tipo, sin likes ni respuestas, decía literalmente pero en inglés: "Esta era la época en que Matt Bellamy tenía a Jeff Buckley en el alma".. Me llamó mucho la atención y lo busqué en KZfaq. Hasta ahora recuerdo lo que sentí al escuchar ese concierto en una TV alemana que ya no está en KZfaq: escalofríos, ganas de llorar, regocijo, alegría.. Desde aquella vez cada cierto tiempo regreso a él, como una droga que alimenta mi alma y me impula a seguir. Solo paro porque sus pocos temas terminan.. hasta que pasan los días, semanas, meses, lo olvido y algo me recuerda su música, como este video, y empieza nuevamente el círculo, es el mes de Jeff Buckley.. Nunca volví a encontrar el comentario de esa persona, pero espero que Dios o el cielo o las estrellas le den la mejor de las vidas.. Gracias Jeff Buckley, donde sea que estés, eres eterno. Saludos desde Perú.

broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it

Incredible how everytime one relationship ends in my life this fricking song pops in my life.

there is no way not to cry watching it... simply magical, beautiful, deep... the voice of an angel. we love you forever... and we miss you...

This is the best version of this song!!!

I have the biggest crush on this man. If only i had been born 20 years earlier...sigh

2019... and Jeff stills ahead of this time.

Look how the audience are absolutely mesmerised and transfixed on the musical genius as he bares his heart and soul to them. Simply stunning.

Thank you Jeff Buckley for perfectly articulating unrequited love

I can't word the feeling perfectly. But as a black man who grew up with a father who only liked black music but installed in me and my siblings about Freddie Mercury. This is the same feeling. When I played Jeff Buckley for him. He was so impressed.

YOU MADE ME SOO HAPPY TODAY. :) ANY NEW CLIP OF JEFF IS PRICELESS

jeff buckley, the man that you were.

Poet with the Angelic voice . There never will be a soul like you Jeff ❤️ This song is purest form of his art .

this version should be on spotify.

this was tooo much for me to handle. the opening scenes had me in tears. soo shook. never thought we’d see more of that footage. He was so beautiful in every sense of the word. felt this right in my heart

heartache behind those solemn faces

it's never over -- my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder... it's never over -- all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her... it's never over -- all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter... it's never over -- she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever...

the world stops at 5:37 every time. Also BLESS the hands of the camera person. We're so lucky to have this incredible moment captured and shared with us. Rest in Peace, Jeff.

I'm a 60 year old guy raised on gospel, blues and soul music and i have spent a lot of time attending live music gigs where you can discover just how talented artists truly are when they perform live..Well, this video demonstrates without doubt what a fantastic talent this young man was, a wonderful self penned heartfelt lyric, sung with such passion, skill and soul. Thank you so much for posting, it has quite made my day...

It's pure magic how a man with nothing but a guitar and his voice can captivate your attention and keep you intensely emotional for six minutes straight. Just look at the crowd, the men are absolutely hypnotised by Jeff, and so am I. I endlessly love Jeff's music, it helped me out emotionally uncountable number of times so Jeff is kind of my lifesaver. Wish he were still here. Always in my heart.

Jeff was amazingly beautiful. There isn't enough words to describe his performance here or what it made me feel. I just want to go cry now.

The most talented soul. What a loss for us all. 💛

He was too bright for this world. Here and gone leaving us a little beauty and truth.

happy birthday darling, you'd be 55 today! miss you every day!!!

It's been 7 years since I've discovered Jeff. Strangely I've never stopped listening to this song. Gorgeous chords.

This recording never gets old. I get chills every time.

One of my favorite songs of all time. I miss Jeff so freakin' much. 😳❤

So much soul in this song

Such a beautiful man 🥺

Jeff Buckley is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever... Thank you for posting this wonderful haunting clip!

"too young to hold on...too old to just break free and run" 1:27

How in the heavens and all life forms could you dislike this?? Some things are objectively exceptionally good

he was so gorgeous

love that note at 2:43 and his singing after 🥺

What I need to know is if this was filmed, then was the rest of the gig and will we ever see it? This footage showcases the absolutely timeless beauty of Buckleys live musical aura.

My favorite version of this song so far. I can never quite tell where his full voice ends and his falsetto begins. Truly enviable voice.

My god the very ending my tears just started flowing out like they haven’t done in a long time. Music that totally took control of my emotion. It’s sad, it’s beautiful, it’s Jeff.

i don’t think most people understand just how MASTERFUL this performance is. this is music, truly, at its finest.

not gonna lie but "she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever" got me real good

Jeff and his father Tim were both outstanding talents. Gone too soon, both of them.

Jeff Buckley... you are the tear that hangs inside my soul forever.

"She is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever" WOW!! Best lyric, EVER!!

Lover You Should’ve Come Over...the kind of song that finds you right exactly when you need it the most. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for releasing this incredibile version of a immortal, priceless and unique piece of perfection

this footage is truly a gift.

This was released on my 18 birthday, and is by far the best gift I didn't know I was given.

never knew who this guy was until yesterday but this performance is insane. i know i’m probably the last to know about him the talent is just pouring out of this guy. painfully relatable

Everything about this man is beauty

A close friend and I have regular discussions about Jeff. This friend at the end of one particular discussion said "we weren't allowed to have him for too long, but we should cherish what he gave us when he walked amongst us" I think about that everyday.

His voice touches deeply my soul. I feel like I am naked, all my feelings, all that I lived. He exposed everything and laying between us there's just the truth. And it hurts. It hurts so bad. But I keep here. I keep listening. Cuz sometimes truth is all we need. Sometimes it's all real we can get. Rest in Piece Mr Buckley.

life is too short, love each other, thanks Jeff

we miss you, Jeff. Thank you for giving us so much.

Never another like him.
