Ben Harper- Jeff Buckley Story

[@loungefly92]

It's very comforting knowing so many other people feel the same way about Jeff as I do. He really was & continues to be one of a kind. Thanks for sharing this.

''and then'' (video stops) Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[@didoma73]

and then jeff fell...no jk, 😢

[@s0ld4u]

It cuts off right before the last line where he says Jeff waves for him to come up and join him...

[@brettvogelmusic]

Thank you so much for sharing this Kate! Jeff Buckley is my Elvis! Much LoVE!

[@alanahhannah]

+Brett Vogel Guess where they both are now...Jeff Buckley is Elvis's....Elvis! lucky Elvis,

[@brettvogelmusic]

Haha! Elvis's Elvis! lol

[@antoinemazet6615]

Strangely enough, I was at that very festival, 25 years ago. I remember Page/Plant's and Jeff's shows as if it were yesterday. I didn't notice Jeff's stunt though. I wish I had!

[@nepotiums]

He's my Elvis!

[@nochannelmusician769]

nepotiums is that a reference to Live At Sin-é?

[@MisterDragonbleu]

Thanks for sharing! :-) Ben Harper made also a speech about Jeff Buckley during his concert in Luxembourg in 2010!

[@s1ygirl]

F'ing LOVE this story! Thanks for posting!!!

[@emilywalker3352]

I fucking love Jeff Buckley

[@davidbrucemusicvideo]

And then... AND THEN WHAT??! (Video stops) Love you Ben, love you Jeff! Great story!

[@caveman726]

Great video thankyou!!

[@kevtruth]

You know this story he tells about Buckley kinda puts his death in perspective. He was a bit of a risk taker. I wouldn't want to climb way up high on scaffolding. If you slipped and fell you might not die, but still.

[@WildSkyMtn]

I know this is an old comment but I just wanted to say how right you are. I saw a picture somewhere of jeff standing on top of the speakers that day. It was a tiny platform and if he fell he would have died instantly no question. It was very high.

[@gabrielberilli6581]

@@WildSkyMtn he said in grace " I'm not afraid to die"

[@Zeonith45]

@@WildSkyMtn Where could i find that image?

[@WildSkyMtn]

@@Zeonith45 I probably saw it in a KZbin video. But can’t remember

[@surfinmuso37]

Nope. Sorry, it says nothing about his death. Going for a swim in a pretty calm river is hardly risking death, but it happened. He did not take crazy risks or have a death wish etc. What u might not know is Led Zepplin was one of Jeff's favourite bands-so this story is about him wanting to get as close to the essence, the spirit of LZ's music-he was not going to miss that for anything and that spot up on the speakers was perfect.

[@brunobailly7013]

Why did you cut it off ?! I was enjoying that story !(also... I've been living in France for over 30 years now, I can assure you Rock & Folk is indeed a prominent magazine. It's like the NME in the UK or Rolling Stone magazine in the US)

[@Sab_MJsMama]

Yeha but giving press still sucks no matter how prominent the magazine, journal, whatever so...?

[@Onesixcruz]

I've seen the whole thing before where's the rest?DANM YOU INTERNEEEEEEEEEEET

[@starshineinthelight]

What does he say at the end?

[@thetheraine]

wtf...just when the story warms up...aaarrggghhh

[@Serrot304]

is there video of that i would really like to see it.

[@popandroid]

"...AND THEN???" where the fuck is the rest of the story!?!?!?

[@applejellypucci]

Ben looks like a farmer.

[@christopherswinehart891]

i came like ruaah

[@metalbrain1]

His story drags on.

[@whitehair8824]

and then??????????

[@harounlee208]

vive les Eurokéennes à Belfort !!!! :)

[@CHALETARCADE]

J'y étais, à trois mètre de Jeff pendant tout son concert! Un pied inimaginable!

[@eyespyI]

and then what?????????

[@caveman726]

And THEN....🐒

[@zenclover8468]

and then what...?

[@thewirah1]

Rock&Folk is like Rolling Stones here, don't really get the stupid giggles.

[@jamiekincaid1076]

+thewirah1 The giggles are because he is saying it is an important magazine while he seems unsure about what it is called.

[@eddieblack4568]

Yes , but he is not covering a Jeff Buckley song, The song was written and first performed by Leonard Cohen, Jeff is one of the many who have covered this amazing song ,the most popular probably being Rufus Wainwrite who's version was used in a film.

[@maggieorisit3684]

+Eddie Black yes, but he's covering the Jeff's version, ya know.

[@eddieblack4568]

There is no version if Leonard had not written and recorded it first, other peoples versions depend more on their particular voices then any thing else, anyway to be honest I could care less all the versions sound pretty much the same to me..

[@maggieorisit3684]

yes, you're right, but maybe someone just made a mistake, dunno. and yes, unfortunately they are all the same, but in Jeff's cover i can see something more and that's why i love it so much. i could listen to it for hours but not some else's cover.

[@padzzz9377]

@@eddieblack4568 Well, Jeff said himself that he wasn't into Cohen that much, and the version of Hallelujah he covered was John Cale's version, which was the first version he ever heard. And yes, most artists are covering Jeff's version of the song, just like most artists, including Bob Dylan himself, are playing Hendrix' version of All Along The Watchtower.

[@antonioda3744]

he has the outfit, he has the chair, but god he's bad at storytelling

[@UnremarkableMarx]

Stfu

[@AntwhaleNearfar]

That story was almost as boring as his music~ 💤💤
