Tim Buckley - Lion's share (Starsailor band first gig.)

[@damesoumbi]

there's several points where i genuinely cannot tell if what i'm hearing is tim's voice or an instrument... insane. there was simply no other like him, and never will be.

[@danielalexandermclachlanga3781]

total sheer shamanic revery ... boundless seething release spirit whirling , writhing that flows with a relentless madness , sadness and ecstatic depth of soul .....

I've been looking for Buckley bootlegs (esp. from the Starsailor period) extensively for the last couple days, and here I find that a whole concert has just been posted! Thanks a lot! Edit: The quality is pretty good, too... Still, no wonder he lost his audience if he went this crazy in the first gig with his new band already lol

[@psyilor7269]

This is insane! 🤯

[@Gammadian]

Wow what a treasure, I always enjoy Tim Buckley, though Starsailor took me a while to get into. It’s one of those albums that gets better every time you listen to it. Thanks for posting this, I’ve been looking for these performances.

[@hanshan12]

Fantastic, especially now.

[@stanmenshic2997]

Fabulous just what I have been waiting for years live 'Starsailor' & the sound quality is quite good many thx for posting & how the heck did U find this recording, Genius!

[@Briccibracci]

Goodness me, what a find! Thanks for uploading!

Bucking Frilliant!!Thank's Bart:)

[@josephmarshall6599]

I see you've read Underwood's Blue Melody bio/memoir? I was lucky enough to have Lee sign my copy :)

[@damesoumbi]

what a madman. not of this world.

[@zoej1844]

Incredibly grateful for this bootleg. How on earth did you acquire this?! I'm shocked that it's of decent quality as well... Tim is a genius, plain and simple.

[@Witregel]

I genuinely do not remember where I downloaded it from. Just got lucky I think.

[@zoej1844]

@@Witregel After hearing this I’ve been trying to find more bootlegs from this era and I actually think I found the website you got it from. Unfortunately I haven’t found any that haven’t already been posted but I’m asking around now.

[@shamusclarke7512]

I feel like once you can crack Starsailor, it becomes the greatest thing you've ever heard. The music is so advanced it just takes a couple of tries.

[@jacksonladik2705]

first time i heard it i genuinely didnt want to finish it but now its easily my favorite from him

[@seanwhittaker1387]

Love this version of down by the borderline- better than the album version I think.

[@jameskennedy721]

BORDERLINE sounds even more out there than on the album . Was he watching Tarzan movies on drugs ?

[@iancurtis6490]

Ornette Coleman and Trout Mask Replica mash

[@gage6209]

How was he able to do starsailor live? Did he play a the track and also sing? It’s incredible

[@danielalexandermclachlanga3781]

Tim might have been sing harmonizing/ riffing with someone playing tha vocals from tha recording with a saxophone.... maybe , need to listen a few times

[@m.f.5739]

My guess would be that the backing vocals are played on tape(s) at the beginning, later there seem to be also some horns. Not sure though.

[@annpowers7135]

What year?

[@Stanshall2003]

Kudos to Buckley bravely committing commercial suicide with an avante garde I-don’t give-a-damn-if-you-like-it attitude. But this is tough stuff to digest, unless you think Yoko Ono’s insane horrible self indulgent excursions with John Lennon is your cuppa tea,

[@josephmarshall6599]

To be fair, this is better than anything Yoko Ono has created musically.....

[@johnkerskine924]

my cuppa, thx

[@s0ld4u]

Piss off with your Yoko hatred. This is an extension of what she was already doing. I love Tim, but I love Yoko too, because they are/were both extraordinary artists.

[@s0ld4u]

@@josephmarshall6599 It's parallel to what she was doing.

[@s0ld4u]

@@johnkerskine924 Yoko's brilliant. Many people can't see through her appearance, or her influence on John. She kept his artistry alive.
