When I was 16 Tim was my musical hero. I followed him through every album. Followed every change and this opened up the door to jazz for me. Yeah, when I heard Happy'Sad I thought "Well I wanted another Hello/Goodbye, but hey it's Tim so open your ears. And I did and loved the artistry. Lee Underwoods work became more important on this album and others that followed. His guitar improvisations were as good as anything Tim did. A true partnership.
I grew up with this. I hoped there would be many brave performers like Tim. The voice. The lyrics. The deep, lost in the music for its own sake, delivery. Then, along came Jeff to make an old man happy for a little while. Thank you for posting this typically risky version. Simply Tim singing a song for us.
If you've never heard the version of 'Blue Melody' from "Live at the Troubadour, 1969", I highly recommend it. It's like this, but (thankfully) without the trumpet, and with better sound. Thanks for posting this performance.
Does anyone else notice that Tim Buckley puts more effort into his performance just doing an acoustic song than any modern performer does during any time in their pathetic careers? Just an observation.
Because the musicians we see in the media are all comercialised (picked up from the street and ruined or used) to attract the worst and most soulless part of us while what we see here is a man with passion for what he's doing and with the right perspective that's what it brings out.
Jeff was still a kid. Eventually he’d have come around. It was inevitable. Sadly, his early exit may have given him some closure as far as his father and his relationship goes!
So utterly tender and poignant... Tim's heart sings this song, and his voice comes along to prove it really happened. Thank you for sharing this kind of beauty.
This was wonderful to listen to. Every musician was into the melody and the bass line was heavenly. This was one of Tim's finer Folk/Jazz Fusion songs, although he had many.
Recently found out about the existence of this man, while trying to look his son and clicking the first result without reading it, stumbling upon pure gold, its been weeks since i been listening to anything but Tim Buckley.
This is from the music show 'Boboquivari', recorded for community television KCET, Los Angeles on September 15, 1970 and later played on PBS in 1971. The set included these songs: 01 - I Woke up 02 - Come here woman 03 - Blue melody 04 - Moulin Rouge 05 - Venice Beach 06 - Jungle fire
Buzz Gardner, trumpet; Lee Underwood, electric guitar; Maury Baker, drums; John Balkin, bass--Gardner and Balkin had recently done stints with The Mothers of Invention. Baker had played with Janis Joplin's band and before that, Ars Nova.
a bit too trumpet-heavy, but gorgeous... actually, on the tribute album Liam McKahey really does this song justice-- if anybody else has done a cover, this takes it
'Blue Melody' is an outstandng track on one of the greatest albums ever made, 'Blue Afternoon'. Unfortunately I don't think this is a great performance - the trumpet is too full-on, and where is conga player Carter "CC" Collins??
Notice. He cannot hold a note. Not for long. He cannot really sing. He really tries hard and wishes he can wishes and wishes but he never does does he. No he doesn't. listen to "I know.." how he sings that. It's like underneath some flem cough
Oh I'm like .. Im like wow that's like weird how he doesn't hold a note. I mean he's like trying isn't he. Tim Buckley is one of the very best expressive musicians of the 60s and70s. His son has inherited his genius....Jeff Buckley. Wishing you liked something worth like liking. Sheeeez.

I wish I knew people that love Tim Buckley’s music as much as I do.
♥️
A perfect song by a perfect person♥️💐♥️
🙌🏼
I do I do
I do
Tim Buckley can not be compared to any other singer. Thank you.
John Mitchell
yep
that's cause he's hardly a singer.
A pure original

Wow... Buckley is one of the truly great artists of the last century... and this one of his greatest songs.
Always amazing Lee Underwood on guitar
Best voice of all times,no one reaches the strings of my soul like him.He was not of this world.

Pure Talent. Nothing like him period.
Pure shit. You must be the toothless old farts Jeff talked about and said fuck off to.
Jeff was still a kid. Eventually he’d have come around. It was inevitable. Sadly, his early exit may have given him some closure as far as his father and his relationship goes!
@@jimwelsh4599Jeff died older than his dad
I thought I had seen every Tim video on youtube. What a treat!!!! Thank you
blue melody: the cold shiver! unforgettable Tim!!!
Genius❤❤❤

Probably best voice ever.
what a voice to be immediately fall in this blues... brilliant and egzotic... thanks a lot

this stuff is magic man.
Genius
The God of voice...
Thank you.
great reproduction, thanks.
wonderful... but i wish it was mixed differently- voice on top, trumpet down...
Oh my....................
I want to built a time machine just to go there and TUNE THAT BASS.
You win the internet today :)
So true, not enough space. He's taken the same approach with his wardrobe not surprisingly.
great song, it reminds me of the theme of the Claude Thornhill's orchestra, Snowfall
Stop stealing all the highlights!
Bellissima
a realise of this album please
❤
It s the ring-tone of my mobile. Don't blame me if i never answer you!
Nice 🌄
@oldbump hell of a time to be alive hum old man?
wow,,,intense
This is great but I can barely hear the audio...... too bad one of my favorite songs.
This and Room 109 at the Islander are my fave songs by this special talent, but I gotta say the trumpet is too much here.
RIGHT IHON
He was so sadly gifted. Brilliant. Jeff was pretty good, too, but Tim had the edge.
what happened to the reat of the video?
My new favorite song. It haunts me....don't mind the trumpet player, just his shirt
What TV Show is this from?
This is from the music show 'Boboquivari', recorded for community television KCET, Los Angeles on September 15, 1970 and later played on PBS in 1971.

01 - I Woke up

03 - Blue melody

@enantiodromia3 His son was Jeff Buckley.
No information: did someone knows who the others musicians are?
Buzz Gardner, trumpet; Lee Underwood, electric guitar; Maury Baker, drums; John Balkin, bass--Gardner and Balkin had recently done stints with The Mothers of Invention. Baker had played with Janis Joplin's band and before that, Ars Nova.
@@beckywells7733 Nice
yeah it's quite noticable.
But since this is the starsailor era here, it could be on purpose... lol
Unico!!!?!????!!!!!!
Ladies and gentlemen, chet baker on guitar
a bit too trumpet-heavy, but gorgeous... actually, on the tribute album Liam McKahey really does this song justice-- if anybody else has done a cover, this takes it
I can't hardly hear him the guy on the horn is wrecking the song.
'Blue Melody' is an outstandng track on one of the greatest albums ever made, 'Blue Afternoon'. Unfortunately I don't think this is a great performance - the trumpet is too full-on, and where is conga player Carter "CC" Collins??
on a pas branché ton micro fude
LOVEly tune.. really good playing, Except for the bass player, who is either Hopelessly lost, way out of tune, or Possibly both.
The horn is too busy. Really ruins it for me.
The trumpet would be a nice touch, but he overdoes it and is too prominent in the mix
UTTERLY AGREED!!! He RUINS the song. Reminds me of every harmonica blower I ever met.
Bass is out of tune?
Anyone else notice that lol?
That trumpet part needs massive editing! Like please be quiet for one solitary moment!! As Miles Davis would have said, "It's what you don't play".
Notice. He cannot hold a note. Not for long. He cannot really sing. He really tries hard and wishes he can wishes and wishes but he never does does he. No he doesn't. listen to "I know.." how he sings that. It's like underneath some flem cough
fuck you you know nothing about rock n roll.
@@hamidmusik7691 He doesn't know anything about singing to begin with. Saing that Tim Buckley "can't sing" is beyond ridiculous.
Yes, I "notice" that you are a lazy troll.
Oh I'm like .. Im like wow that's like weird how he doesn't hold a note. I mean he's like trying isn't he. Tim Buckley is one of the very best expressive musicians of the 60s and70s. His son has inherited his genius....Jeff Buckley. Wishing you liked something worth like liking. Sheeeez.
