Jeff Buckley | Mojo Pin ( Live Chicago 1995 ) Reaction

[@anp-1075]

I’m a 30 year plus drummer and if you notice in a lot of his live videos, when he’s ready for the band to come in he will subtlety raise the guitar neck and bring it down for a Que for the band. That’s how you orchestrate and craft a song. Masterful.

[@mikeg5018]

Jeff Buckley's album Grace is must have.

[@stefaniebrauer128]

ABSOLUTELY

"Once in a while A man comes along Even his failures were favorite songs....." "A body goes down In the Mississippi waters Weighted by a beauty Afraid of its light Notify your holy men Console your sons and daughters And tell me one more time What is just? And what is right?" "A Body Goes Down" Taken from the album Humming By Duncan Sheik

[@Lynsey77]

“Lover you should have come over” is my all time favourite Jeff Buckley song. The emotion and the lyrics are breathtaking. “She’s a tear that hangs inside my soul forever…”

[@TheMNicole]

Yes. Exactly!

[@turquoiseturtle1705]

That's just the best song ever sung by a human being?

[@jeffconnelly1284]

That single lyric is one of the most beautiful lines ever written.

[@shimmertroop1067]

"Is he gon breathe? Is he gonna breathe?" 🤣 Great video, dude! Jeff was a gift to us all, R.I.P 🙌🏾

[@andreaclavergarcia1860]

One the best reaction to Jeff! Is he gine breathe?? For me is the best vocal in million years. Love your reaction❤

Jeff took influences from Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and more. He absorbed them all and became the timeless artist we were lucky to briefly have.

Oh, yes. I can't listen too much, too often to this beautiful man singing. He had the most gorgeous voice

[@hoptoit5910]

I absolutely *adore* Jeff Buckley. He sings like I would imagine angels sing like. Even his last moments on earth he was singing (oblivious to the fact that death was seconds away). God bless you Jeff and RIP 🙏❤️

[@CiaraArmstrong]

His version of ‘Hallelujah’ is absolutely gorgeous, my favourite version.

[@paulrodsted3905]

That is my least favourite song off the album for me..... "Lover, you should have come over" is my favourite

I was astonished by that version

[@lasthope3237]

[@mocapcow2933]

@@lasthope3237 mine too, I think it’s because I have heard that song and so many versions so much in pop culture and other things, that when I heard his version, I just became numb to the song.

[@awkwardomelette7316]

@@mocapcow2933i think it’s a beautiful song regardless, i don’t think it stands out as much as others, but it still does because his voice is otherworldly. his version is undoubtedly the best. in my mind it’s his song.

Love your JB reaction! RIP Jeff Buckley.

[@emilywalker3352]

Yes, he died in 1997. His legacy continues through his fans and his music. He is a once-in-a-lifetime artist.

[@LILAC2CARB]

Omg I always loved Jeff Buckley, his voice speaks to my soul…. He was taken away from us too soon

[@robertsaaf1467]

I was at this concert in Chicago. He was mind-blowing to see performing live. And so charismatic with the audience. In the top tier of concerts I have attended or rather experienced!

[@jford8545]

His Album ‘Grace’ was the soundtrack to my 20’s 🙌

[@donnasnyder3323]

… And it was the soundtrack to my late thirties and early forties! I had the good fortune to have lived in London during that time (I’m American), and it was the best experience a music-lover like me could have. Jeff was, I believe, much more well-known in the UK and Europe than he was in the States. I had the privilege of seeing him in concert twice. I’ve always been surprised that so few people seem to have heard of him. How does talent like that remain a secret from so many?

[@RhythmicEye]

One of my all time favourites. Never heard anyone quite like Jeff Buckley. Nothing but pure talent. God rest his songful soul.

[@ko0974]

Check out his father Tim Buckley

[@paulskaraiev5405]

Most angelic voice I’ve heard. Awesome reaction…

[@sarria6733]

His voice is sublime. The range, the emotion, the clarity. Dude can bring you to tears.

[@anttwon5231]

I cry every time I listen to him, not even because of the lyrics but because the beauty of his music makes me mourn his absence.

[@RS54321]

His voice was pure and sublime. Jeff was on another plane. As tragic as it is that he left us too soon, it's lovely that we have these recordings of his pristine voice before age and 'wear and tear' could alter it too much.

[@carlosue5472]

My friend was a musician back in NYC when Jeff wasn’t known yet and they all hung out at a bar, just a bunch of musicians trying to make it. Jeff Buckley would walk in, walk to the juke box in the back, play a song and sing his heart out and everyone there would watch and listen and know he was a legend in the making. He would then leave.

[@erinevans9113]

My favorite musician. In addition to that voice, Jeff was a phenomenal guitarist, writer and arranger. ❤️💯🔥 Sadly he passed away in 1997.

[@Technickcall]

I feel your pain with whoever thought it was expectable to upload with it cutting off the ending

He was so special.

[@optimusvalerius8824]

I like Jeff Buckley immensely but also have great respect for his father Tim Buckley especially for his album '' Greetings from L.A.''

[@Katehowe3010]

'Starsailor' and 'Lorca' are my faves. That's where his voice enters uncharted waters!

[@dirkcrafford1814]

Always good seeing someone having to deal with seeing Jeff Buckley's prodigious talent for first time.

[@Superfly1503]

Every time I watch that performance I am drawn in by a different aspect. The relationship between Jeff and the drummer Matt Johnson on this track is amazing. Matt’s eyes are on Jeff for so much of this and they’re so in sync. Brilliant!

[@jsb5607]

Thanks soooooooooooo much for having AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING Jeff Buckley

[@jbstubes3381]

This was my request! Thanks heaps for getting it done. Exactly how i thought you would react 👌😂

[@Turcomichael]

O man I remember when you released this video and it just popped up on my feed. Great reaction and picking up on all those little things he does. Including never taking a breath apparently. Gone too soon and this video was definitely robbed of that ending. Jeff could really sing anything. That sort of talent that isn’t taught, he was born with it.

[@davefox3424]

Evening everyone who is listening and commenting on Jeff Buckley and his legacy. I was fortunate enough to see/hear him play a solo gig in Dublin Ireland back in 1993. Just him and his tele and wearing a cream coloured raincoat ( always raining in Dublin) but when Jeff plugged in and began jamming and signing the audience fell silent for his entire set. He finished and left through the back door and myself and friends had just witnessed a life changing moment of pure undiluted musical genius playing with our heart strings and to this day left a welcome scar on my soul forever… we all still talk about that night in whealans music bar and always will… this isn’t our last goodbye Jeff…✌️🤘💙🙏🦊

[@tparmenter]

Grace is a masterpiece. And his voice is absolutely beautiful. Try Grace, Lilac Wine, or So real.

[@lmaomollie4812]

so real is my absolute favourite

[@lovewander1]

I really enjoyed this. Thank you! Mojo Pin is one of my favorite songs of all time. Such a shame that the end was cut off. If you haven't checked it out yet, the Glastonbury performance of Mojo Pin is incredible (as someone else already mentioned). Digging through Jeff's music is like digging through a treasure chest. So many riches, it's lifechanging.

[@Laura......]

One minute our beloved jeff is a beast then he is an angel lol

[@blurontree]

Best review I’ve ever heard of Jeff Buckley - ‘this guy can blow’

[@dallismurphy3802]

Yep, often seemed like that fella didn't need to breathe. & he could do smooth or gritty, soft and loud and could use his head voice for that falsetto or absolutely belt out the high notes. Another singular talent gone too soon. I see you watched 'Lover, You Should've Come Over' about a year ago so I'm off to watch that, it's one of my favourites!!

[@dionbowen17]

Legitimately the best reaction I’ve ever seen. Ever.

[@MsTristen12]

Grace is my fave album of all time

[@thesoundlikechameleons2082]

I can't believe I got Mick Grøndahl (bassist) to sign my vinyl sleeve of Grace! I chatted to him a few years back, and yesterday I messaged Gary Lucas, (Gary actually created the guitar riff for this track Mojo Pin and the song Grace! Jeff just extended it) he only replied back! and not only that he has AGREED to sign Grace for me too! 😮😱🥶🥳🤯 'mindblown' C 4 - 06 - 2023

Thats what I said when he asked “Is he going to breathe?”. Angels don't need to breathe. He was not of this earth. Otherworldly is a perfect way to describe him. I have never had another singers voice make me feel the way Jeff makes me feel. 😮‍💨I have never had such a visceral reaction from a singer…always get goosebumps and want to cry when I hear him sing. That man was a shaman and a musical gift to the world from the creator. RIP Dear Jeff. 😩😢💔💐

[@larannar123]

When you have a chance,just listen to the track list from "Live at Sin-e'"... A live gig where he solo performed in a small cafe... Mind-blowing!!!! Also his covers of Bob Dylan's "If you see her,say hello"and "Mama , you've been on my mind" are amazing!!!!!😎

[@icarii9366]

If you're only just discovering Jeff, good on you, my friend. He was a gift to us all. Put it in perspective though. While Grunge was going off, Rock was rocking, Jeff was being Jeff. I feel blessed to have had my teen years through 90's for exactly these reasons. We were the last generation to grow up without cell phones, ride our bikes till the street lights came on, and get to evolve surrounded by talent such as this. Do yourself a favour, don't react, just grab your discman, and a good set of headphones, walk down to a beach or deserted amazing place and blast Grace start to finish. Grab any other great album and listen to it that way to. Music is the glue of the world, it keeps us all together - Empire Records - The purest male vocal ever.

Love this! I was blessed to live my late teens to mid 20s in the 90s and it was the most amazing time! This man one of the best if not the best artist to come out of the 90s, he was definitely the most original and most pure, and gifted of them all. RIP

Oh, and you MUST listen to Jeff's rendition of Dido's Lament... his vocals are out of this world (per usual). It was just a one time live version caught on tape, and the quality is pretty awful. BUT damn... goosebumps every time.

[@NikkiSou]

Your Jeff reactions hit different. I love vocalists who can breakdown all the amazing shit he does. You’ll lose your mind to Grace. His cover of Lilac Wine (album version) is super underrated and breath taking. The only white guy allowed to cover Ms. Nina Simone imo.

[@HidingFromFate]

I too LOVE his Lilac Wine cover and I agree that it rarely gets noted or noticed.

[@Purplealegria7]

@@HidingFromFate That was the record that really grabbed me. Just stunning. The depth of his emotions, like Ninas are so raw, pure, and beautiful. The man was blessed by the heavens with that voice and talent. This world was robbed of a real treasure when he was taken from us, as I'm sure he would have been a superstar. Only God knows what masterpieces he passed away with still left inside of him. He had so much potential and shimmering music to give us. Rest in peace beautiful boy.

What a bummer about that bad link. Hopefully you can find a complete version of that performance to catch what you missed. Jeff was otherworldly and the most fearless vocalist I’ve ever heard. Sometimes his voice went to places you might describe as ugly or uncomfortable, but it was always 100% genuine and the audience was thrilled to be on that journey. He inspired many, but there will never be another like him.
