Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should've Come Over (Audio) May 29, 1997, Memphis, Tennessee.
Wearing a shirt that says Altamont, the cursed Festival, black jeans, Dr. Martens. In the van with his friend Keith, they sang at the top of their lungs Three Days… now he feels like he needs a bathroom before joining the others.
“Don’t wander too far, come back,” Keith yells to him while he hears him singing Whole Lotta Love…
“Jeff, fuck, watch out… there’s a tugboat!!!”…
Too late, they will find the body a week later…
Calling Joan, his girlfriend, is simply surreal: “Joan, he went swimming in the river… he wanted to take a bath”… “Keith, fuck, where’s Jeff?!?”… “Joan… I saw him go into the river… I don’t know how to tell you this… Jeff has disappeared underwater”…
The story of Jeff and Joan is beautiful, having just begun. She plays the violin with The Dambuilders… Jeff is enchanted by her.
“Maybe I’ve found a cure for my problem… I’m taking new meds but I absolutely have to avoid drugs and alcohol,” he tells her a few hours earlier… She is crazy about that troubled guy.
Despite Joan, Jeff is still in touch with Rebecca Moore, his first great love. It is said that he dedicated Grace to her.
The night before he died, he sends her a text: “Think of me and smile… don’t worry, I’ll be okay… see you on the other side”…
Tammy Shouse, the wife of David, his best friend, has always been his confidante… the one Jeff leans on in tough times.
“Jeff told me he dreamt of dying,” Tammy states.
“I couldn't wake up from the nightmare that sucked me in and dragged me down… Oh, it felt so real”…
Yeah...
