    Did anybody see that documentry about Jeff Buckley on bbc2 last night at around 11:30ish ????

    It was amazing, they showed really rare footage of Jeffs early gigs before he was signed and then the later gigs before he died (obviously !!) , there was some stunning moments during the live shows especially his reaction when someone shoute out 'Tim Buckley' during a gig. It went into great detail about Tim and Jeff and their relationship aswell.

    Some really cool interviews with his relatives, band mates and of course the 'celeb fans'....

    A brilliant insight into a brilliant man...

    I saw it Bandit, and it was one of the best music documentaries I've seen in a long time. Some amazing footage of VERY early performances. Pretty moving too, without being sentimental. It just highlighted how incredibly talented and hard-working he was, and, to it's credit, it didn't try to brush under the table how his father's success helped to pave the way for his own.
    That footage of him reacting to someone saying "Tim Buckley" is from a concert which you can get on video. I got it in HMV about a year ago, but I don't think it's there anymore. It might be, though. It's definitely worth a look

    I thought it was pretty good alright I think it was origonaly shown months ago on bbc4 but I dont have it so I was glad to catch it by mistake. A bit too much talking and not enough video footage I thought and if you want the full details you have to get the book.

    The book is amazing. Really, really detailed & descriptive & other adjectives beginning with D.

    they are adjectives, right? should've paid attention in 2nd class English.

    Yeh it was like an illustrated version of the book ( which is brilliant) the best part was seeing Jeff talking in that interview, i'd never seen him talking before.

    Someone,pleasepleaseplease tell me it will be repeated. I was asked at 12:35am if i'd seen it and i've been kicking myself since.Though maybe its best not to further fuel my unhealthy obsession, i discussed his life and works in french for half of my leaving cert oral and the examiner nearly cried. I've read the book, but couldn't find the live video so i've never actually seen him perform, only heard it

    Dunno if it'll be repeated... i hate to say it but I doubt it...
    You should get the Live In Chicago DVD, it's amazing and widely available.

    If you have BBC4 or have a mate who does it will probably be repeated soon as they dont have that many programes as far as im aware.

    Brad Pitt was an idiot. Trying to be all "deep" and talking crap... I hate these celebrity fans that they reel out for stuff like that.

    read the post.

    i think you'll find that i said nothing of the sort.

    validate your sources and come back to me in a week.

    My desk is on the 9th floor.

    Brad was just trying to be deep and serious, and i got the impression he was using all these big words that he did'nt know the meaning of.

    Remember he is a good actor so i guess it's easy to look deep and meaningful, you know like in Meet Joe Black.
