“He quite clearly had his feet on the ground and his head and his imagination was flying way, way out there, beyond, beyond.”
– Jimmy Page
I remember when I first heard Jeff Buckley at a record store, I bought Grace that day. After that I’ve gotten everything that was released by him.
This 2002 documentary, revisits the short life and times of the young artist. The movie has stories and testimonies from Jimmy Page, Patti Smith, Chrissie Hynde and many more of the people who were close to Jeff Buckley. It tells the story of his early work as a guitarist in Los Angeles and his emergence as a singer and songwriter in New York. There are 4 or 5 Jeff Buckley docus out there, but this is my favorite.
Everybody Here Wants You (documentary):
I’ve included a full set from Frankfurt in 1992, great quality, intense concert (as expected):

Intriguing documentary – thanks for posting! I’d heard of Buckley, but had never heard his music until now. Very cool and I’ll check out his CDs.
Always a pleasure pointing people towards great music!
Thanks for the comment
