Jeff Buckley was never informed of the date of his father's funeral in 1975.
Instead, Jeff Buckley chose to perform a live tribute to his father at a Tim Buckley Tribute Show in 1991, in New York.
This was Jeff Buckley's public singing debut, and the first time he'd performed his father's songs.
The show's program director Janine Nichols - "(Tim) Buckley’s manager revealed that Buckley had a son, now a young man and a remarkable musician in his own right. Jeff Scott Buckley told me that he had never performed his father’s music in public, and this seemed like a good time to finally do so. Listen and be amazed. Our intention was to reveal Buckley’s courage and imagination as a composer, and enormous continuing influence as singer. I hope we did him justice.”
