Man...love ur channel man , thanks for all this stuff
I looked at your profile and l see you follow a lotta gospel stuff to me buckley was a combination between Whitney Houston and Kurt cobain l wish he did gospel one time l was reading about jesus really intensly trying to discover who Jesus Christ was and jeff Buckleys line "im like any other guy who likes television, and yeah it was a real intense on my knees session either way i mustve scared anyone who read this away but yeah l think something really foul is at play about his death and last 2 weeks
He was so funny. That isn't mentioned very often. He was also a brilliant mimic. I love that we get to see so much of his humor in this clip. He took his music very seriously, but never himself.
The chaotic energy 😂 I love that he can have that as well as his thoughtfulness. I think about how different the world would be with him still in it all the time.
Never have I have seen Jeff so at ease during an interview, kudos; it was a great achievement to have managed to make him truly fell so relaxed in front of the camera, that he almost felt like he was the one hosting the show...priceless insight into his true personality.
The way the interviewer just straight up gave the show to him, he couldn’t believe it and it was a pure moment
What a beauty, I can't help but think that the world is poorer without Jeff's light ❤
Im pretty special.
hes mine back off sweetie
This interview had like seven intros what a wild ride
I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him
Ditto
his voice is so soft ugh 🥺
Imagine. He was literally 30 years ahead of everyone. He’s today.
Tim says hello (and goodbye).
It’s like two geeks chatting at a comic con. It’s amazing to think this was the guy that wrote the most incredible powerful emotive music of the latter half of the twentieth century.
This is Gold. I love their chemistry. This really shows Jeff's super spontaneous funny side.
JBTV was my weekly obsession growing up in the 90s. When this first aired is when I discovered Jeff Buckley. I’ll never forget, I had the tv on and was in another room, listening. When he began singing, I swear to god I ran into the living room: I couldn’t believe what I was listening to. I was absolutely MESMERIZED. I’ve been a fan ever since ❤️
God I wish he was still here
It is so refreshing for once, to see a show’s host, not trying to ignorantly (as show hosts often do) upstage his guest; and in this case; that young massive star, Jeff, who was about to blow up way too soon like the massive supernova he was...😣
This must have been a public access show & Glad the host had the taste to interview Jeff.
@David Ellis This is from a show called JBTV, which still exists.
God he was such a beautiful guy. Saw & heard him for the first time in Sydney at the Phoenician Club. That was beyond any art.
Thank you so much! I'd only seen bits of this and kept looking for more of all of the footage with him. Man, he was so much fun.
You’re welcome.
He was so REAL
Jerry Bryant (the interviewer)? ;-)
Jeff Buckley covering Adam Ant blues style is pure gold!
This man is heaven sent
What kinda crackhead energy haha I'm joking of course (or, maybe not completely). Nah, this made me wish that I was his friend.
😂😂😂😂😂 omg I'm crying! I was so worried he would break that guitar.
maria evangie he was so funny. Take heart we are friends with his music and his soul :)
Cocaine 😂
Ah I can’t wait for the rest of Jeff’s videos to be released. At the same time I will feel bad when there won’t be a chance for another little release. He is so funny 😄💛🧡☀️💕
@Sandra Fairy Most of it will probably never see the light of day.
@@MojoPin1983 :( But why???
@Sandra Fairy Ask Sony. They’ve had 90 hours worth of footage, filmed by Jeff’s friend and photographer, Merri Cyr, for the last twenty years, but have never published it. That’s in addition to other footage that Sony owns.
Jeffs personality is brilliant 🥰
I was waiting for this footage long time, thank you for found it :)
Someone else uploaded it and provided a download link. Thanks goes to them.
@@MojoPin1983 ok, so thanks for them and not for you.
Oh my, thank you for sharing this. Brightened my entire day.
Jeff was a profoundly silly man in the best way. Miss his light and his life.
Pains me to think about how much more he had the world to give. Love you, Jeff.
Oh god why did he have to die..whyy. I found his music like two yaers ago and im obsessed!. The fact that i cant get to see more content from him is like reading a book without ending.
glad to see you got your channel back
@Naypa11 Same, here. :-)
the greatest
What a beauty. Priceless true personality. I Miss him
Thank you so much for uploading this, and all that you do! Such a fun interview 💔
You’re welcome. God bless.
A beautiful attitude..
Would have been a blast hanging with him.
God bless fo the upload 🙌
God bless you, too.
He was a funny bugger.
I think the interviewer was actually in love with Jeff. Who wouldn’t be?
Yeah, I think a lot of guys probably fell in love with Jeff. I think Jeff would have been so easy to love too. ❤️🥰
5:15 Jeff is so real, I’m always doing stuff and think what if I’m being recorded rn, like when I was younger I would be thinking to myself what if someone put a camera on my backpack and they’re watching me rn so I would always have a blanket over my backpack when I wasn’t using it lol
2022 still all about jeff xxx
Te amo jeff te amooooooo
At 4:20 he mentions exile from guyville, I freakin love that album. Now I want to hear right after this . Jeff was a great artist. Art brings out the soul of people. I want to be a real artist like my art heroes.
I love this interview soo much!!
It loves you back.
He is brilliant.
Can't believe everything came to an end around 2 years later. Such a damn waste of talent.
Waste of a human being.
Quite the opposite. Had it been a waste, you wouldn't have found interest in watching this video. His voice, his being, allowed you to feel and be inspired by his music and his soul. After a tragic death, all fans and people from alike some 23 years later still listen to his music; His talent only led to an endless legacy.
Kopmam Great perspective.
@@Kopmam But it could have been a greater legacy. With more music of him to listen to.
@@elkevinski Could have been, but it’s not. I feel grateful for the music that is out there already, I’m grateful that I have an opportunity to listen to Grace and get inspired by it and by Jeff himself. I think there’s no point in being like „it could have been better”. Of course it could have been, but the reality is different and we gotta make the most out of it.
This was simply incredible
Love it ❤️
I miss Jeff Buckley so humble and great and human
I have always thought it wasn’t accidental drowning. The way they describe his death sounds like it wasn’t, and he’s always singing about being swallowed by water.
Same with his dad's music!
He’s just still like a crazy 28 year old kid … even though he is also able to sing Really pretty interesting Melody’s & write deep words!
Jeff was a consummate goofball probably to offset his intensity.
This is a horrible Low Resolution copy of this Interview. I was the Cameraman for this Interview at JBTV Music Television. I did all the graphics too, I have to dig up my copy of this and get it out there. We also did the concert at the Metro.
@Chris Carter This video is a multi-generational copy, I believe, which was made specifically for a long-time supported of JBTV.
If you can find your copy, and can get it digitized, would you mind making a copy for me, please? I run the most comprehensive channel on TH-cam dedeicated to the preservation of Jeff Buckley’s visual legacy, and I am always on the lookout for new material - especially original source material - to add to my archive.
I would be curious to know what other B-roll footage that you might have from this interview, as well as the Metro gig.
Were you also involved in Jeff’s 1994 appearance on JBTV?
Cheers.
P.S. I noticed that you have a Facebook profile. I will repost this message there, in case you miss this.
@@MojoPin1983 My media company is Bogart 9, hit me up at facebook.com/Bogart9/
We shot that show at the Metro. Columbia took the credit, Gary Fisher Producer. We did everything, the shoot, the editing, i did the graphics. We also did the "Accoustic" show you see floating around in horrible copies! That performance was right after this Interview. We had a top of the line Sony BetaCam (top for 1990's) so the camera was no cheap crap. On my Bogart 9 Home page at the bottom hit the TUMBLR Link and scroll down to JBTV and you can see a List of all the bands where I did the Camera work for Interviews.
@@BogartChannel7 Thanks. I copy and pasted my previous message, and sent it to said Facebook link, yesterday. Since we’re not Facebook friends, my message might have gone to your filtered inbox.
@@BogartChannel7 The acoustic show was actually from November 1994, and this interview is from May 1995 (coinciding with the Metro show). Jeff played at the Green Mill in ‘94.
Thanks for the link; I’ll check it out.
Please check your filtered messages on Facebook, and hopefully we can discuss your work with respect to Jeff Buckley, there.
Take care.
He was such a goof ball
Jeff Buckley was an awesome talent I met him twice once before Grace at GIT and then hung out when he was in London after Grace before My Sweetheart The Drunk. He had so much more to give. RIP guitar avatar
What’s your name, if you don’t mind my asking?
Edit: Nevermind, I saw your links on your channel.
@@MojoPin1983 John, wots yours?

If I could of saved any rock star, it would of been Jeff! His dad music is pretty cool too!
The sexual tension is out of this world
Yeah!
Damn, he just snapped into that twisty riff from Shudder to Think's 'Trackstar' prior to introducing the band's clip. He loved that tune. :)
Glad to see he was a red house painters fan
Glad you back S. 😊
Same here, L.
his little giggles ❤🩹
miss him so much 🖤
There seems to be a deep rooted pain inside Jeff Buckley.
I think he looks very happy here. He's obviously funny but it was nice to see his humor unedited. I do think his heart was broken. The absence/death of his blood father was clearly a life shaping trauma
all platform gamer. Yes I totally saw that in him. Lament, melancholic sadness.
Probably cause his real dad ran off and left him! And I believe he only saw him once or twice!
All true artists are in pain.
That was flipping hilarious! Adam Ant...LMFAO
he was amazing
Lovely upload.. Its been shared in our group message.. Very very sad that he has left us!
What group message?
Ayyy Jeff knew who the Red House Painters were my two favorite artists from the 90s wonder if him and Mike ever met.
Merci BEAUCOUP. Cette vidéo a embelli ma journée...
You’re welcome.
I would of loved to have sat with jeff buckley while watching an episode of beavis and butthead back in the 90's.
Ph....thank You sssso much !!
A weird fella but a talented weird fella
5:54 "who i totally adored... and then he died surprisingly" ............. :(
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Wooow 😍😍😍😍 I never saw this interview, I'm going to die of love; I am fascinated when the artist (character) and the person have inner beauty, very luminous and uncomplicated, without a doubt he is my singer - ultra favorite musician forever, this man's voice was unique, powerful and truly exceptional, as well as his music . I loved seeing him so spontaneous, relaxed and funny even though he was very delicate and shy (I loved that about him) but in every interview I read or saw about him he was really a very sensitive artist in life and artistically, He always made some reference or comment to social problems, he was super loving, deep and honest. On many occasions I heard him say that the artistic medium tortured him too much, which is why he had a bout of depression because he couldn't stand how superficial they were and he really hated selling his soul to gain fame or money (which made him withdraw a little). I certainly understand that whenever I entered spaces where I could earn too much money or recognition I chose to stay away, I didn't feel comfortable, nor did I like what I saw or heard there. In the underground, there are still people there with ideals and the desire to leave something better for the world as a person and as an artist. It fascinates me that the artist is something more than a figure of admiration, as Jodorowsky says the purpose of art in the contemporary world (it should be to heal, not to glorify the ego or fill the world with darkness), I could not agree with him, For me, the artist must be a transformative entity, since we have the ability to communicate and transmit messages, that is why I get too bored with colleagues, friends or couples in the art world who do not seek beauty and inspire others, art is a wonderful gift, almost a spiritual gift, therefore it should serve to make this life a loving and beautiful garden that frees you from the negative, vengeful or depressive discourses that most politics or the majority of the world emit.
So chaotic 😂 I love it
Soulmate feels. So beautiful he was
Jeff is bae!!!
I was born way too late I should have seen him in concert !!!!!!!
I love Jeff Buckley
Only one Jeff Buckley. Crazy he talks about "free range chicken" back then
Red House Painters and American Music Club....2 of my all time favourite bands. I never knew that the likes them.
Nitzer Ebb aren't bad either!!
Is the host playing a character or is he actually like that 💀
I wish was that coffee, happy birthday babe.
Jeff Buckley TV? Sign me up! I want my JBTV 😎
90s tv was awesome
It was Jeff's mention of Red House Painters that got me into RHP. Thank you Jeff.
Worth checking out American Music Club too if you haven't already. Both fantastic bands.
I’m sure with the right management he would have become a real superstar of Michael Jackson proportions.
@markstevens6568 I don’t think so. He was already managed by the biggest record company in the world, and he refused to do certain things that would have elevated his name recognition, such as appearing on David Letterman. Moreover, Jeff’s music was too unorthodox to ever appeal to a mass audience.
Michael Jackson was a very poor example. Let’s say Kurt Cobain. I am not an expert but a great lover of Tim Buckley’s music and bought his first album as a kid because I liked the look of him and that jacket on the front cover! I’m also a great lover of all of Jeff’s music and feel that what both of them needed was “guidance” which a major record label like Columbia would probably not have the band width to do. Tim’s demise was I believe avoidable but yes I fully agree with you they were both very “difficult” people to manage and for them the music came before the fame.
I need him so bad. I need him to cheat on me so I’ll never get other him
Mystery white boy
poor Jeff. he never even got to leave his 20's. he would have been a brilliant 40-something.
@coldacre He was 30 when he passed.
Cool upload thanks : D
JB tv =Jeff Buckley tv
It should be, but it’s actually: Jerry Bryant TV.
Sempre tive a impressão de que ele era o típico garoto sensível quase que pro' lado meio "careta" da coisa mas assistindo umas entrevistas dele pra' cá não é nada assim, acho que ele não tinha medo de ser mais ele mesmo ou agir bobo, cada dia admiro mais esse cara.
Guys I’m making a playlist with all the songs mentioned or played on the interview (really if a single line it’s sung it goes to the playlist) and I really wanted to know what’s about some music videos they show on the tv show, some I can figure out, but there are some I still wanna know… does anyone have the full show that displays it?
I gonna display it here when it’s done 🙃 also, what’s about the Devon beach with the boys n girls video that they were talking about right in 2:27??
Anyone else here wishing they owned that guitar? Jeff Buckley and Adam Ant? Yes please.
He's socially so awkward but glad that he figured out and found him "self" in music
Socially awkward people can’t hold an audience in the palm of their hand like Jeff did. He is a social butterfly man !
awkward? he's incredibly charismatic
12:20 He "joked" about committing suicide. And then two years later.. gone. Kinda crazy to see the early signs, he knew he was actually never gonna gain weight in his life time.
It's been proven he didn't "commit" suicide. It was an accidental drowning
Its vague. Swims out in a city harbor and dies. Wake from the boats drowned him I guess. Such a waste
Yes he drop the hint right there ....
It was accidental
The random Jesus Lizard breakout in 17:38 though
@yelkhan2002 I always wondered what that part of the video was about. Your comment prompted me to find the track; my goodness, what a stupid song.
@@MojoPin1983 It's just like Jeff in this video: stupid, goofy, and lots of fun. And actually really fucking brilliant too.
that girly giggle... this man is clearly falling in love w Jeff right before our eyes :D
I've never heard the womans blouse story. I had to replay it a few times. Fucking hilarious!
It’s mentioned in the book, Dream Brother: The Lives & Music of Jeff & Tim Buckley.
@@MojoPin1983 funny you mention it. I'm actually reading the book now and saw that part. I honestly haven't sat and read a book since college but I've decided to try it since there's nothing else to do while quarantining.
@@rdsx463724 I'd recommend reading anything by Ravi Zacharias.
just me who doesn’t believe him when he said he didn’t steal it? i mean we all know he could pull off a womens blouse easily 😂
@@isabellewatts7883 lol notably Merri's blue blouse. He looked amazing in it. But he actually cried to his friends about the accusation. So I doubt it was a lie. ☹
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oo
“Chick, chicka chicka.”

9:35 Jeff playing Trackstar! 😱😭 Jeff volvé 💔
Jeff acts like his father...by the way, cute... :)
He really does.
I don’t believe... just want that he is alive
Hahaha the first crack is the deepest. God, he was funny.
Poor Jeff, what you would have been without Gary Lucas writing “Grace” and “Mojo Pin” for you…
Christ.. I never realised how funny he was.. What a character... Al a show @ the end of the day 😔 poor guy
Please refrain from using Christ’s name in a derogatory manner. You wouldn’t do so with the name of someone that you love.
@@MojoPin1983 shut up! Get a life.. Its a term of phrase.. There's nothing derogative about it!
@@MojoPin1983 Freedom of speech, and any which way I would like to express myself, are you trying to control people's emotions and thoughts?
@@emmettcoen I would have to agree, I don't see any issue with your comment.. But I wouldn't say shut up though ✌️
@@MojoPin1983 You're going a bit over board there mate, I see where you are coming from but you got your wires crossed, I only see a beautiful man sadly missed by another man, gods way isn't kind sometimes.
