Tim Buckley - Interview on KUNM Radio (1973)

[@japan906]

It’s uncanny how Tim and Jeff have that similar sense of humor, their handsome focused, yet loose looks, open-mindedness and endless curiosity and passion. Thanks for this upload.

[@rosakami1588]

They have the same exact voice especially when they're speaking like I cant differentiate Jeff and Tim's voice half the time its almost haunting.

[@kevtruth]

This interview sounds sped up. Tim's voice is lower

[@slavmeister73]

OMG, they do talk the same way with a similar humour, don't they?

[@nightflightsight]

no its not sped up and tim's voice is not lower than this@@kevtruth

[@dbcruser3133]

I wonder if Tim could have ever imagined the world 50 year years later. A world where we can watch and hear clips of him speaking and singing all over the planet. And of course recordings of his amazingly talanted son Jeff. RIP Tim and Jeff. Both gone too soon. Thanks for the beautiful music.

[@christopherjohnmorrisette]

WOW! I saw Tim in Bellingham in 1971, was 16, had just run away from home, changed my life. and Starsailor might be one of the best albums ever recorded.

[@coldacre]

wow! that was his last show of the Starsailor era (17th January '71) before having 18 months off from music.

[@christopherjohnmorrisette]

@@coldacre and that you know this is cool, the date is great to know, for which I am grateful!

THANK U MAN love any new tim content, much love

Sounds like Jeff talking R.I.P

[@danielalexandermclachlanga3781]

Jeff did not laugh as easily and did not explain as freely ....

[@_nightowl263]

@@danielalexandermclachlanga3781 True, but I still hear similarities

[@eliaol4231]

@@danielalexandermclachlanga3781 what do you mean? Is Tim more open-minded?

[@GreekRocker00]

I'd love to hear Tim talking about the social media madness of our era....

[@andyroobrick-a-brack9355]

It's not "social media madness." That just takes responsibility of what humanity has done.

[@lessthanthreemetal]

It's been over 50 years since this interview. Mindblowing

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

He had so many intelligent observations.

[@IanFrancisBuchanan]

The genius Tim Buckley ❤

[@netizenrealness]

tim asking what "boogie" meant gave me a chuckle

[@thewordofgord]

love this, thanks! The seventies, yeah for him way different than the sixties.

[@zoej1844]

Ugh Tim… if only you could come back to Baltimore and play those funny jazz songs again 💔 I’ll be waiting

[@grahamjarman]

lez go

[@Athena621]

10:20 sooo true, just took Europe some 40 years to catch up!!

[@Rcats14]

Similar approach to Jeff with perfoming. Interesting.

[@rezkat6]

I love his speaking voice

[@sw9979]

It’s strange because Jeff sounded just like him and looked like him. He could NOT say that Jeff was not his son! They’re twins!

[@suzannelawson9215]

Did Tim have any sisters or brothers? If he did, were there any other musicians in his family?

[@jordans.2447]

He had a younger sister named Katherine who was born in 1958. His dad apparently had a good singing voice, but never went into music himself

[@pmeadows34]

There is a definite clash between Tim and the main interviewer here initially. Both are combatant and then Tim goes onto another level in terms of being opinionated. Not one of the most appealing Tim Buckley interviews. I think he might be high.

[@4Naturalgreen]

Tim was pretty much being a jerk. I’ve met musicians with the same kind of attitude.

[@kevinmccready4114]

Yeah. Tim seems like he's cloaking his rage with sarcasm and sly cut downs. Not fun

[@4Naturalgreen]

@@kevinmccready4114 Right, but then he’d go and kiss up to a douche bag like Steve Allen. I love Tim’s music but the guy had serious problems with drugs and that in itself sets the course for a domino effect. The thing that has troubled me about Tim was the odd and perplexing disposition Tim had towards his own music. By the time an LP was released, he was already into another style. So he never really bonded with his audience because he, and they, never felt understood by the other. A friend of mine saw him perform in New York City in 1967. He said it was an unbelievable performance. He described Tim singing and playing with his microphone positioned sort of above his head a bit. He said Tim kind of leaned back, singing into the mic above him. I can picture it in my mind. Tim Buckley was unique perhaps beyond his own understanding. We’re just lucky to have the recordings that exist.
