Fuckin eh, I've spent way too many hours dreaming of it. I've always been pretty impressed with how many of the songs from sketches sound more or less complete...
The producer Jeff hired for the album, Tom Verlaine, thought the songs on disc one of My Sweetheart the Drunk were finished, but Jeff wasn't satisfied with them. When he hired Verlaine he was looking for a rawer sound than he had on Grace. Disc one sounds pretty good to me, not as highly produced as Grace, but tight, clear, and high energy; every bit as good as Grace in my ears.
+ Isal tom.....you not need to go to Heaven to meet Mr Buckley ,we no one go (he is not there )....our God did not create the earth as a testing ground to enlarge his family of spirit sons in heaven, as taught by many churches of Christendom. He created it with a definite purpose in mind, for it “to be inhabited.” (Isaiah 45:18) God created the earth for man and man for the earth. (Psalm 115:16) The entire globe was to become a paradise, filled with righteous humans, who would cultivate it and take care of it. Never was the prospect of eventually going to heaven held out to the first human couple.-Genesis 1:26-28; 2:7, 8, 15.....Jesus-Why He Died?Jesus died in order to redeem humankind....Jesus’ death opens up to us the opportunity to regain what Adam and Eve lost-the prospect of living forever in perfect conditions on earth.-Revelation 21:3, 4.
How do you know he's not there ? And about Jesus death : God allowed His death, because the main thing was His teachings, not His body, you should read Dialogues with an Angel, dialogues collected at the request of angels, transformed in a book, by Gitta Mallacz. Secondly I don't understand why you react so vividly, anyway, have a nice day.
Isal tom...yes ,I know ,because in Bible is written ...God has purposed to associate a limited number of faithful humans with Jesus Christ in the heavenly Kingdom...Luke 12:32: “Have no fear, little flock, because your Father has approved of giving you the kingdom.” Rev. 14:1-3: “I saw, and, look! the Lamb [Jesus Christ] standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand (144000). . . who have been bought from the earth.” Humans cannot go to heaven with bodies of flesh and blood....Only persons who have been “born again,” thus becoming God’s sons, can share in the heavenly Kingdom Jeff will be resurrected to life on earth...we can live all together and forever on the earth ♥ Ps. 37:29: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” Rev. 21:3, 4: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” ...You can read about it on our wonderful website... jw.org
My god Jeff’s voice is really doing whatever he wanted it to do this night… he was searching for paths through the tunes that were different and he was nailing it any way he wanted. Dang. And for Parker on the drums I think he’s actually nailing the shit. His Tom’s are beefier than matt’s and his pocket is different but those signature matt johnson grooves he’s laying down nicely… I especially like the way he was playing the new material, that rockin style jeff was aiming towards but still has depth and dynamics. Not saying much but I’m a drummer and am picky about this kinda stuff. Jeff’s falsetto is on command this night it almost rips my heart out. Love to all the fans and Jeff’s legacy…the entire band was a steamroller! Past to present
Him talking about simple addiction throughout the show is pretty interesting and I can understand ….cigarettes and weed. The mental aspect to a musicians mind, especially someone like jeff that’s mind is deeper than the ocean. We all go through that aspect if your a musician constantly searching for something greater we sure try many things to get there, some good some very bad. I look at it at this point like the more experience in any mental capacitys aspect is what it is, the underlying thing is we are the ones playing not the drugs, and that’s what you must always remember… we have the power to do it straight every time but we always think have to feel a certain way or need to be achieving some kind of amazing moment for ourselves and for who we’re playing for but we must always remember that you need to be in control and also just always let things go how they are going to go cus sometimes it’s out of our hands. It’s so hard to get to that musical epiphany within the mind that we’re constantly searching for…
Listening to Witches Rave, I just know Jeff would have went in a thrash-y more raw direction. I feel like Jeff was just a massive liability to his previously constructed image on Grace. He was ready to evolve continuously on each record. What a fuckin' bad ass! He clearly gave a fuck enough in the right places to not let the bullshit steer him more toward an even more commercial sound.
This has the best version of nightmares by the sea, such a great edition added on, brings the whole song tumbling, crashing down and lifting up, ...such a tidal wave.
Vancouver @ 38:17 amazing to hear the lyrics played live. So different from the "Sketches" album, almost as if he was still working them out in this live gig. Thank you for this upload. It's magical and precious 💗 thank you
JC Kay he was still working on the songs before he died. After he died Chris Cornell and his mother put together sketches for my sweetheart the drunk and added the "sketches" part because they weren't done
I'm not sure if you realize it from what you say but the version on Sketches would have been earlier than this so this is as close to what the final version would have been as we will get I suppose.
@@erickt1974 So much clueless nonsense in this comment section. What parentheses? If you're trying to be all clever by using the silly technical term for brackets you should probably learn how to spell it first, and there are no brackets in the album title anyway, and it was not "always complete". The album was to be titled 'My Sweetheart The Drunk'. You're welcome.
"it's all about the Process' as Jeff used to say... THIS album/gig is unheard to my Jeff- loving ears... As a Bassist and Guitarist who deeply admires Jeff and his sound I have been forever influenced by him. This gig is a treasure and I thank the uploader.. Love Jeff and his commentary too in-between the tracks with the audience... funny guy and def a lil dark in his humour but THATS Jeff. Thanks Jeff and all the people who helped make his sound on both Grace and Sketches.. Gone too too soon..... Miss you Jeff RIP

Listening to this now. I recognise that he was still progressing 'Nightmares by the Sea' unto its next frontier. The released album had not peaked its evolution. An amazing revelation to behold. Witches Rave was very final if this performance is a marker. It should have been a mega hit to beacon in the new millenium. A humdinger that The Strokes would like to write, but never could.
@@truefunksoul8638 I can't listen to 'Reptilia' on repeat the way I can listen to 'Witches Rave'. Reptilia may well have a better hook - and we are talking about one of the hooks of the century - but for me the artistry of Witches Rave makes it a better song. I mean, the lyrics are so much more carefully written and artistic. "I said please don't slow me down if I'm going too fast, You're in a strange part of town" vs. "You tell me all the ways around my garden that you like, I'm floating just like a bubble heading for a spike". So, I love both songs. I just think The Strokes wasted a lot of all-time great guitar licks on so-so lyrics. The Arctic Monkeys kind of filled that void pretty soon after. I mean, looking back you could easily argue that punk's golden era was the early noughties as we had The Strokes, The Libertines, Vampire Weekend, The Kooks, Arctic Monkeys and I quite enjoyed the Fratellis. 'Employment' by the Kaiser Chiefs and 'In Your Honor' by the Foo Fighters were really good albums I owned that don't really stand out with the passing of time. So the era must have been really exceptional for punk music looking back. Ok, sorry for the speech. I just think you are right the The Strokes would not record it, but I tend towards it not matching them stylistically than it being a "lame" song. I scoff at that idea. Witches Rave is one of the best concept songs and executions I have ever heard. A gem.
I think I read somewhere that Nightmares by the Sea was one of the tracks on disc 1 of Sketches that was recorded after he moved to Memphis. So, if true, it would've been done after this.
Totally agree about all of this and which is rave is absolutely fantastic! Perhaps, if Jeff had lived “mainstream “music could have remained more interesting for at least a little longer. :-) So many chords, and a ton of unconventional harmonic choices. A feast for the ears..
Lady, all the troubles are my fright, I disgust you. Feel the power. You cut the truth into you. Why? Do you think I'd hidden out? On this rely I could kiss you, with lines of escape in my mouth. Please, let me bring back this gifts of mine to the woman. His eyes shined on my back as I slept and knew you. You didn't leave it all. You made an even call. My belly released the stars and tears between the Scars. Ooooh. We're where we belong, it should end here, Until the end of time, Beyond the moment that ends our bondage. I am your failed husband contender, I'm your loan shark of bliss. This dream you've ridden on turns your world to explosions You need to be alone to heal this bleeding stone. Now, smell the rain of London, it still insists That we beg for our purity. As if we are pure in the rain of our contentment, As if I can think of this no more
I can only imagine what the record would’ve been had he lived. These songs would’ve been awesome to hear live. This is just a taste of how a fully developed, more loose and flowing version of the new material would’ve been!
Tell you what jeff .. forget about the nicotine patches. Keep on smoking but forget about swimming in murky rivers .....😔 how we miss you. I hope on the 'other side' you know that. .. We miss you and selfishly we miss what we have missed out on.
The end of morning theft it is fulfilling.I listen this song while i smoke cannabis in front of the beach and i rebobine the end of that song every time that ends....and i am alone.....i love my life love my life...like tim buckley says in i don't need it to rain.
Damn what a f in shame still think is drowned versions of a cover up murder comes to my mind!??????? His bud never went for help!!!! Smells fishy someday the truth will prevail!!!!..... until then.........👍 what a f in lose gone but not forgotten this last gig is killer!......👍❤️☮️😻🤟🔥🎶🙀🇺🇸
Oh, my gosh!! I have revisted Kula Shaker and was psyched when I heard the familiar Govinda of theirs athe the beginning of the set! Great! I have realized Buckley and them have the same love for Eastern music and vocals. Lovely! Wow! and this is February 1997
Ahh, yes. Kula Shaker happen to have a new album earlier this year, 2016. Plenty of good social and spiritual commentary similar to Jeff's Eternal Life and the Sky is a Landfill :) Kula has 5 albums, most notable "Peasants, Pigs and Astronauts" and "Strangefolk". They are great live!!! Not to take away from Buckley-he is excellent live too :) with that voice and inventiveness.
Do you think Jeff and band had that piped in through the venue? Or was it because one of their albums was on the charts in early '97 and Arlene's had it on playlist
I really love Sketches compared to Grace album, even if it's classic, Jeff's guitar approach in sketch is to me way more sopisticated, and creative... The chords used in Vancouver, maybe played on a 12 strings guitar, the the simple power chords sometimes in witches rave's, playing with tones in low string in the intro, is as simple as it is smart... there are so many guitar tricks in those album, like in Meteor Slave song, which is totally underated!!! The chord progression, the finger patern are really brillant, and how voice notes diverge from the melodie, but totally completes it in an other way! Its purely brillant.... The best I could say, is paraphrase Leo Cohen : Jeff played a chord, that it pleased the Lord".
Agree.. I’m certain Jeff is experimenting w vibe similar to back in nyc; u can hear that influence in many of the songs besides those that r more soulful. I really like songs like back in nyc too, sound is so innovative n been trying to find more songs in this sonic realm
I like how he berates the Bootlegger - 'are you going to study it'? Yes Jeff, especially because you'll be dead in a few weeks, you fuck... and this is all we'll have to 'access' you.. Sorry, just missing the great man today...
I don't think so but Sony did record and save most of his live shows but not many where on video. There is a full Japan one that runs 45 min from what I've seen it aired on MTV Japan it was a hour special part was used for grace around the world.
52Hacker A long tome ago there where lots of Jeff's shows TV and other that Sony took down after the first news of the bio pic with James Franco.Reeve Carney still is said to be cast as Jeff in Mystery White Boy and has said he still want's to do it in a 1st season Penny Dreadful interview.
Nightmares by the Sea is a completely different song than the one in album "Sweetheart the Drunk". Different lyrics, form, melodies...Please, can someone write the lyrics, here?
I dont know if Mercury Lounge was around at the time, but he prob wouldve gone there had it been around. I wouldve gone to see him, but I was 10 in '97.
The cover pic is circa 1995 but there are a few photos from the Knitting Factory which was the same week. blonderazorblade.blogspot.com/2014/04/jeff-buckley-live-at-knitting-factory-97.html
+Alanko Donnet The instrumental versions are irresistible -- still, it was amazing to come across this. I had it in my head that the recorded version, with all its plucking, was too difficult to play and sing live. Wrong.
Jeff touches you at the very beginning that very moment or he doesn't, imo you don't learn to like Jeff Buckley or you come around to liking Jeff. It's either heard over heels or nothing at all. Ask Ben Harper or Brad Pitt or Jimmy Page!
Yeah we all give a shit what Brad Pitt thinks of music. I for one never even listen to anything at all without first checking if it has been approved by some random Hollywood actor, it just wouldn't feel right.
Probably not, after the last leg of the grace tour he cut his hair short. If you google images of him in 97 you can see that he was rocking the short cut, Jeff would do that to shed an idea of his self image throughout his life. Grow his hair out for a while then in one swoop cut it all off. One example of him being hyper aware of his image was after the people magazine rating him as one of the hottest people alive in 94/95? He then dyed his hair black and wouldn’t wash it in order to look more grungy to buck the “heartthrob” image . Very interesting to me of someone like him, a very beautiful looking man with the voice of an angle, that went at great lengths to control his public perception. He was real sensitive about it
Jeff : You fuckin dick bootlegging the show man... Jeff: what are you gonna study it. Mocking the bootlegger Something about showing it to all his friends and musical friends.
I'm sorry but Matt Johnson was a much better drummer than Parker Kindred. The difference is especially evident in this gig, was a shame Matt left... for whatever reason. EDIT: Found out this was Parker's first gig so that would explaint a lot. You can hear a lot of times where he is unsure when there is stops, and what to play.
Matt is an incredible drummer but so is Parker...the grooves he's laying down here are so heavy. He's not dragging; he's got soul and you can hear where he's totally locking in with the guitar. It breaks my heart that these songs weren't recorded properly. Then you would know what I'm talking about.
It just confirms how much these songs were already evolving. It's devastating to only be able to imagine the final production.
Fuckin eh, I've spent way too many hours dreaming of it. I've always been pretty impressed with how many of the songs from sketches sound more or less complete...

Actually, yeah it makes sense, both bands were big at the time and they were both on the Sony label, so I believe that's it-promotion
What a blessing this is!
Grace... damn.
I love his live’s
I really love Sketches compared to Grace album, even if it's classic, Jeff's guitar approach in sketch is to me way more sopisticated, and creative... The chords used in Vancouver, maybe played on a 12 strings guitar, the the simple power chords sometimes in witches rave's, playing with tones in low string in the intro, is as simple as it is smart... there are so many guitar tricks in those album, like in Meteor Slave song, which is totally underated!!! The chord progression, the finger patern are really brillant, and how voice notes diverge from the melodie, but totally completes it in an other way! Its purely brillant.... The best I could say, is paraphrase Leo Cohen : Jeff played a chord, that it pleased the Lord".
Agree.. I’m certain Jeff is experimenting w vibe similar to back in nyc; u can hear that influence in many of the songs besides those that r more soulful.
I really like songs like back in nyc too, sound is so innovative n been trying to find more songs in this sonic realm
This guy knew his Guitar .
I like how he berates the Bootlegger - 'are you going to study it'? Yes Jeff, especially because you'll be dead in a few weeks, you fuck... and this is all we'll have to 'access' you.. Sorry, just missing the great man today...
This is great
Thanks for uploading this, a great piece,, idoubt an visuals exist
I don't think so but Sony did record and save most of his live shows but not many where on video. There is a full Japan one that runs 45 min from what I've seen it aired on MTV Japan it was a hour special part was used for grace around the world.
woobly kat is this available on youtube?
52Hacker A long tome ago there where lots of Jeff's shows TV and other that Sony took down after the first news of the bio pic with James Franco.Reeve Carney still is said to be cast as Jeff in Mystery White Boy and has said he still want's to do it in a 1st season Penny Dreadful interview.
@@wooblykat3923 I know its 4 years later but why did sony take them down ?
happy birthday
Still miss you April!

My great artist on everysens ,love it forever..❤💋💗21-3-2017
Nightmares by the Sea is a completely different song than the one in album "Sweetheart the Drunk". Different lyrics, form, melodies...Please, can someone write the lyrics, here?
+Sofia Noiti I think he'd just wrote it at that point. He probably played around with the lyric later
Even native English speakers can't make out most of the lyrics at this quality sorry :/
I think he was high in this show.. not hating, but the way he sang many songs, I think he was at least missing a lot haha but it is great
This version of nightmares by the sea is very different indeed and I do not think that he did this by accident. I wish someone could translate it.
@@igorluzvoz what do u think he was on
💔💕
Can anyone hear what Jeff sings at the end of the Grace? 1:03:45 - 1:03:58
I dont know if Mercury Lounge was around at the time, but he prob wouldve gone there had it been around. I wouldve gone to see him, but I was 10 in '97.
He did play at the Mercury Lounge.
1:05:55 ...hahaha
Sometimes Jeff plays guitar like he's playing a harp.. the individual notes...
Love your comment!
This is my version of stopping for groceries
I love this fuck much hahaha
1:06:00...ahahaaaaaa
hahahaha
That's a pretty awesome Tom Waits!

deffo 2 guitars? prob a bass? if only these people knew, such a great great loss.....x
👏
If there was a god ,there still would still be Jeff.
Are there any photos floating around the internet from this gig? is the cover for this bootleg even from Arlenes?
The cover pic is circa 1995 but there are a few photos from the Knitting Factory which was the same week. blonderazorblade.blogspot.com/2014/04/jeff-buckley-live-at-knitting-factory-97.html
Great to hear a live version of Vancouver with vocals. Is there any others floating around?
+Alanko Donnet The instrumental versions are irresistible -- still, it was amazing to come across this. I had it in my head that the recorded version, with all its plucking, was too difficult to play and sing live. Wrong.
There's a solo version also, with the vocals i mean, search for the "Father Demo" bootleg, quite a tricky one to find but it is there
can you post the link? Can’t find it
@@somes3cretcat th-cam.com/video/lnDrObaM6W8/w-d-xo.html
@@somes3cretcat in case the link gets removed search for: Jeff Buckley-Live at Spot Coffee
he really did that man . wtf
Jeff touches you at the very beginning that very moment or he doesn't, imo you don't learn to like Jeff Buckley or you come around to liking Jeff. It's either heard over heels or nothing at all. Ask Ben Harper or Brad Pitt or Jimmy Page!
Head over heels here for this heavenly music.
Yeah we all give a shit what Brad Pitt thinks of music. I for one never even listen to anything at all without first checking if it has been approved by some random Hollywood actor, it just wouldn't feel right.
Has this ever been released?
nope, just a bootleg... an amazing one
Any recordings of barristers

Killer
Jeff unhinged ....
from tha bowels through
to a gutteral thrashing ethereal ....
a leaning madness , a boil of spit syllables , grinding a glide away
is this picture of him holding the mic from the actual set ?
Probably not, after the last leg of the grace tour he cut his hair short. If you google images of him in 97 you can see that he was rocking the short cut, Jeff would do that to shed an idea of his self image throughout his life. Grow his hair out for a while then in one swoop cut it all off. One example of him being hyper aware of his image was after the people magazine rating him as one of the hottest people alive in 94/95? He then dyed his hair black and wouldn’t wash it in order to look more grungy to buck the “heartthrob” image . Very interesting to me of someone like him, a very beautiful looking man with the voice of an angle, that went at great lengths to control his public perception. He was real sensitive about it
What is that melody from? The one played between Haven't You Heard and Lover, You Should've Come Over?
Yet Barry Manilow lives and thrives. cruel ass world.
Who?
That is hysterical...
You say it like a good Bill Hicks joke
Not if you are Barry Manilow
Yet, some fool is talking through the whole show....
What’s said in the very beginning ?
nightmares by the sea
Jeff : You fuckin dick bootlegging the show man...
Jeff: what are you gonna study it. Mocking the bootlegger Something about showing it to all his friends and musical friends.
I'm sorry but Matt Johnson was a much better drummer than Parker Kindred. The difference is especially evident in this gig, was a shame Matt left... for whatever reason.
EDIT: Found out this was Parker's first gig so that would explaint a lot. You can hear a lot of times where he is unsure when there is stops, and what to play.
Matt is a much better musician. Parker also drags, and has a weak feel and groove. That's not a rehearsal issue.
Yeah, I tend to agree. The guitars are also maddeningly out of tune. Not their best gig, sound wise.
Matt is an incredible drummer but so is Parker...the grooves he's laying down here are so heavy. He's not dragging; he's got soul and you can hear where he's totally locking in with the guitar. It breaks my heart that these songs weren't recorded properly. Then you would know what I'm talking about.
