Jeff Buckley as “Sweat Boy” 😅

(From brainstorming with the owner of the photo, we think we’ve narrowed this down to Jeff’s late summer/fall 1994 tour through Europe, possibly being Milan as the location)

Glen Hansard & Jeff Buckley

Jeff and I were both involved in the film The Commitments; Jeff was a guitar tech for the band. It toured America, so we travelled together a lot. We became pals pretty quickly, sharing a passion for Bob Dylan and spending a lot of time in hotel rooms playing songs to each other. At one point I started playing Tim Buckley’s Once I Was and I remember Jeff saying: ‘You know he was my dad?’ I was like, 'No way. Fuck off!’ One evening we were staying in a hotel on 57th Street in New York. I was a secondary character in the film so I wasn’t that busy. I was sitting in my room with Jeff when I got a phone call from an Irish guy who owned a cafe in the East Village called Sin-é (where Jeff would later hold his famed residency and record his Live at Sin-é EP). He was asking me if I could get the Commitments to play. When I said I couldn’t organise it he gave me and Jeff the midnight slot instead. All excited, we jumped in a cab and went to the venue. I did a couple of songs and during a cover of Van Morrison’s Sweet Thing, Jeff came on stage and started singing. He blew the fucking roof off the place. I opened for him during his Grace tour. The first time he came to Dublin he played in Whelan’s, which is a pretty small place. It was a typical, noisy Dublin gig; people were chatting away. I could see that he was trying to figure out how to win the audience, so he picked up a pint of Guinness and just swallowed the whole thing in one go. The room broke into a huge applause and he just started singing; the audience was under his spell. But by the end of his Grace tour he was a different human being. He was tired; he was down. There was a darkness in him that I’d never seen. He was playing a much bigger room. It was heaving and they were so excited to see him. I could tell he was struggling with himself. The band was rocking and playing almost metal versions of his songs – it was like he was mocking his own gentility. At the end of the show he threw himself into the crowd, which I hadn’t seen him do before. I mentioned it to him after the gig and he said: 'Do you know what? I have so little in me right now, the only thing I could do was literally give myself to the crowd.’ I was living in a flat in Dublin in 1997 when I got a message from one of my flatmates saying: 'Jeff Buckley called you this morning. Do you know him? Fucking hell! Do you know Jeff Buckley? He told me to say hello to you!’ It was a surprise to hear from him – we hadn’t spoken in two years. A few days later I heard that he had died. When I think back, I’m grateful for the fact that I got to be a fly on the wall during a great moment of a young man’s life.“-Glen Hansard, The Guardian, March 8, 2016

A letter from Jeff to PJ Harvey shared on her subreddit. If you listen carefully, she mentions this letter in her song dedicated to him.

hey I was wondering if you know about Jeff saying “I’m like a man in a lesbians body?” apparently it’s a quote but I’ve never been able to find it

Hi, this is the first time I've heard that one, but I'll definitely keep an eye out for it lol! Admittedly, I'm a bit suspicious since there doesn't seem to be a source, but hopefully we can get to the bottom of it...

Jeff as a young child

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony: January 12, 1995 in NYC:

Cool indeed was the speech given by Lou Reed to induct Frank Zappa. Reed, speaking in a measured, respectful tone, trashed the long-circulating myths about how the Velvet Underground were sworn enemies of Zappa and the Mothers of Invention back in the ’60s. Representing Zappa was his daughter Moon, who gave a halting but emotional speech, often holding back tears. As she composed herself backstage, a weeping man swooped down on her. “Call security,” someone whispered before it was determined that it was Jeff Buckley, overcome by her speech. Later, Moon said of her father: “He was the truest person I’ve ever known. And he completely walked his talk. Very authentic. I’ll tell you, it makes dating very difficult.”-rollingstone.com, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ’95

Around the time of the "Last Goodbye" shoot, he scored a ticket to the ritzy Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction night, the annual $2,000-and-upwards a plate affair held in the Grand Ballroom of New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel, an event which traditionally attracts the great and good of the Rick industry, everyone from past and present record company presidents to genuine superstars. On this particular night, January 12, 1995, Frank Zappa-whom Buckley had idolized all those years ago in LA-was a posthumous inductee. Moon Unit Zappa, with whom Buckley had become quite close, was there to accept the award on her father's behalf. Danny Fields, meanwhile, had volunteered to help out; his main role was running the backstage press conference, "telling people to shut up, that kind of thing," he laughed. Fields was required to walk between the stage and the main VIP table, where Jann Wenner, the editor and publisher of Rolling Stone, and Seymour Stein, the Hall of Fame's then president, held court. "I was running back and forth and saw a flash of pink," Fields recalled, "and it was Jeffy, he was sitting at Seymour's table, wearing a shocking pink Steven Sprouse jacket. I put my hand on Seymour's shoulder and told him how lucky he was to have Jeff Buckley at his table, and I asked what he was doing there. Seymour was the head of Elektra at the time, and he said: 'he's my artist.' " Fields was confused: Tim Buckley was on Elektra, not Jeff. When Fields disputed this, Stein replied: "Oh, he's like my artist." Just as Fields moved away from the table, Buckley spotted him and called out his name. He stopped in his tracks. "So Jeffy gets up in this pink jacket that you could see across the river, runs between the VIP tables, puts his arms around me and in front of 4000 people plants a smacker on my lips. On the mouth! And he wouldn't let me go. We were standing there, locked in a kiss in front of the whole music business," Fields said, laughing wildly. "There were gasps. I mean, that's Danny Fields, and he's kissing Jeff Buckley in front of everybody in the music business. And I thought, 'Fuck you all-this is what I do.' And I hope you notice that he kissed me. I did dine out on it for a while." Later that night, Fields saw Buckley again, this time in a teary embrace with Moon Unit Zappa backstage, after her acceptance speech. "They just sobbed and cried in each other's arms. I thought it was so touching."-from A Pure Drop
