His name was on the lips of all musos from the release of that album and for the next two years.⁣ I had heard him sing a couple of songs at a distance on the Other Stage at Glastonbury, where Page and Plant were headlining: you could feel him, it was extraordinary. I had listened intently to 'Grace' whilst I was on tour and made a point to see him at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on this day in 1996." - Jimmy Page, from his official Instagram account: instagram.com/p/B9KPsOijhu1/ *Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page Reveals Jeff Buckley Invited Him To Work On An Album:* cosmicmagazine.com.au/news/led-zeppelins-jimmy-page-reveals-jeff-buckley-invited-him-to-work-on-an-album/ "The Best Thing I've Heard All Year" - 75 stars of stage and screen pop round to hog the stereo | MOJO Issue 38 / January 1997.

"They took us across the street to a wine bar. They said, “Well, ‘Stairway to Heaven,’ we gotta say no to, ’cause it’s just too much. We just don’t do anything with ‘Stairway to Heaven.'” We’re like, “Whomp, whomp, whomp.” And Page goes, “But I would like to give you an extra song that’s more of an acoustic busking vibe. We’ll give that to you free.” He replaced “Stairway to Heaven” with “Bron-Yr-Aur.” He gave that to us for free, just to have that texture in the movie, which was amazing. And we ran through the streets afterward. *The rest of that meeting was spent talking about how much we all loved Jeff Buckley.* Officially the coolest night ever, or the un-coolest night ever. I don’t know.

[@CoachingChaos]

Yes. Same. I wasn't paying attention to new music after 1990. Learned about Buckley in the early 00's, heard some of it, was blown AWAY by Grace (the song) and was incredibly saddened when I learned he died several years before. RIP

[@MarcellinaMoon]

Stark Fabrication yes, I “discovered” him around 99 and had to know everything about him immediately. Then I found out he died. A week later I found out my first boyfriend (who I hadn’t seen in years) died... he drowned just life Jeff.

[@muhammadhisyam8086]

I discovered him through John Mayer like 6 or 7 years ago, then I watched 3 music videos of his on youtube, then I googled him just to make me angry for the fact that he was already gone long long time ago. And after that I swear to god, I immediately googled for more theories of his faked death, I just wanted to know if there was a leaked picture of him getting older. Yes, it was such a let down.

[@vinnytesla9731]

robert plant and chris cornell both saying that jeff's vocal ability was 'scary' and 'mind altering' is a scary level of complement in itself .... an interviewer asked Plant what he thought of Buckley being inspired by Led Zeppelin, and Plant basically said that it's silly comparing him to Buckley, and that Buckley was on levels far beyond Led Zeppelin..... dude said he was literally intimidated as a musician when watching Buckley perform live

In no way was Buckley levels beyond Led Zeppelin. Let's keep it real. Plant was always self depreciating.

[@graciekattan6618]

@@lyndoncmp5751as far as artistic talent I think so. I mean even just listening to one of his songs if he sang, wrote his own lyrics, and played his own guitar that is incredible. Led Zeppelin is amazing but take out one member and the magic is gone. All the members contributed to it. But one person doing all that by themselves is remarkable. Led Zeppelin obviously had a greater legacy left with their music but I think they mean creative ability wise

Jimmy Page getting intimidated by someone's guitar skills tells you a lot about their talent!!

Jimmy Page is a great guitarists and technical for that era of music but he is not the best person to give an example of when talking about saying that particular person being intimidated by someone's guitar skill as an indicator for 'making it'.

[@jimmycampbell78]

What do you mean? I think Page was impressed by Buckley’s craftsmanship in terms of creating guitar music. Great songs. That is what Page did also. I think you are thinking more of technical wizardry on the guitar. Someone like Steve Vai is like that, but I could not name you any great songs he has written. You see where I (and Page) are coming from?

It is so amazingly tragic that we'll never hear what Jeff could have done. The music he left is just staggering and I'll guess we should be thankful for that. It was interesting to hear Jimmy Page say that when he heard "Grace" that he listened to it constantly as the songs revealed themselves. I know that when I heard "Grace" I couldn't stop listening to it either. You put it on and had to listen to it all the way through. It's great to see these guys "hopefully" turning people on to Jeff who don't know who he is. Cool video, thanks for posting.

[@BradleyVolk3]

Man I have always thought the exact same thing that Jimmy Page stated. His guitar work was so unusual and eccentric that I too always assumed he played in alternate tunings. According to Jimmy Page he did not. That really surprises me. Buckley: what just a total original.

[@MojoPin1983]

He only used alternate tunings for a few songs, such as: Last Goodbye, What Will You Say, Vancouver, Kanga Roo + some songs from Live at Sin-e. He used Drop D for a few songs as well: Grace, Mojo Pin, I Woke Up In A Strange Place, Haven’t You Heard, The Sky Is A Landfill.

[@BradleyVolk3]

Yeah every decent guitarist throws the E to D once in a while. That was pretty cool to hear that come from Page. Makes me feel up to par with Jimmy Page's guitar mentality. HAHA just kidding, You got a pretty awesome channel here dude. I always knew Buckley loved Zep but I never knew they dug him too. Pretty HUGE compliment to Buckleys music.

And I personally feel (even with all the imperfections) that for the most part he was better live than in the studio.

[@sunepedersen8537]

He did use open tunings as well as standard. For instance, Last Goodbye is in open G and Vancouver is in open D

[@justingarcia7722]

True but I think it's more how extensive his harmonic understanding was that he used unusual (for guitar) voicings and intervals much like a jazz player or pianist so the effect is transcendent

[@sunepedersen8537]

@@justingarcia7722 that's true, he does use some quite jazzy chords on some songs, and interesting harmony on most songs

I learned about Jeff Buckley on an interview with Chris Cornell where he praised his skills. naturally, i had to listen to his work on youtube and was stunned how good he was.. but then, if Cornell liked him, it shouldn't have been much of a surprise.

@Michael Byrd Good list, but I could do without the latter two.

[@arnieus866]

Wow! I do have something in common with Brad. I played this constantly back when it came out. Come to think about it I got pretty hooked on his dad's "Happy Sad" album too. I was so sad to hear of his passing. No telling what Jeff would have produced.

[@jimmyjoejeeter2366]

Just got that album, it is good, I also like Hello Goodbye, and Greeting from L.A. That is my favorite. Need to get Star sailor.

He is one of a kind artist. You can relate when he performed. Scary and creepy

[@josephbrabander9124]

Not going to get into a ridiculous debate about Tim vs. Jeff. Both had amazing 4 octave ranges and a desire to explore something different. Virtually every album Tim made is different from the previous one. Not surprisingly Jeff wished to escape the shadow of his father. I have a feeling though that his father would have understood. BTW, I very much liked "Dream Brother" the book that parallels their lives.

[@jimmyjoejeeter2366]

I just getting into Tim's music. I bought 3 of his old albums this week. Really love Greetings for L.A., Goodbye Hello, and Happy Sad. All great albums!

You know it’s good when Jimmy Page gives the thumbs up.

[@rstarguitar5350]

Absolutely obvious to anybody who loved his music but dammit what a tragedy what a real loss that So many never got to really know the genius and I don’t use that word lightly of Jeff Buckley when he played live he and his band interacted intuitively and that’s the best way to play in my opinion it was definitely a life that should not have been cut short

[@ecosuite2014]

We have a show called Rage. Starts at midnight goes till early morning on a saturday. Its 100%music videos and the like. I came home late and drunk as was typical after a friday session. The concert just started and i was fixated from start to finish. Instant fan. For ever miss what could have been and for ever grateful for what was.

When you have both Robert Plant and Jimmy Page waxing lyrically about you.....you've gotta be at least fairly good, right?

[@mandys6257]

Yes Jimmy he was a geniius. Right up there with you guys

[@lance_cpa1175]

So... people have been saying negative things about jimmy page complimenting Jeff Buckley and that Jimmy page compliment is not something to be impressed with. I slightly disagree. Jimmy page has influenced millions of guitarists from all ages. Out of all those millions of guitarist he sets his eyes on Jeff Buckley, and sees the greatness in him. It’s like impressing your teacher at middle/high school. If your teacher sees you as a very capable student, wouldn’t others also be impressed of your capabilities? Just think about it for a sec.

[@tricklesofsmiles1550]
