Live at Sin-é  (Audio CD) 
by Jeff Buckley

Great live renditions of "Mojo Pin" (the highlight of this four-song recording) and "Eternal Life".

"The way young lovers do" may have you bopping along as the song hits the crescendo. Buckley sounds raw yet still beautiful in this one. But isn't that what makes him so amazing; you know he was an artist of dream-like quality in the flesh and not just in the recording room.

And I believe that to be quite rare.

An indication of things to come...  Dec 22, 2002
To test the waters for singer/songwriter, Jeff Buckley, Sony released the concert EP, Live at Sin-e, nine months before Buckley's first full-length album, Grace. Live at Sin-e features four tracks recorded in the tranquil atmosphere of New York City's folk circuit. Although the studio setting best showcased Buckley's abilities, which is surprising given his rawness of his talents, Live at Sin-e makes for a somewhat charming debut. The acoustic versions of the Grace songs, "Mojo Pin" and "Eternal Life" display quite a spark. The cover of "Je N'en Connias Pas la Fin," from the repertoire of French vocalist, Edith Piaf, makes for a quaint moment without the emotionally heaviness of most of Buckley's material. The EP, however, would have been better off without the ten-minute rendition of Van Morrison's "The Way Young Lovers Do," which breaks apart into an onslaught of rapid guitar strumming and vocal scats that scream "show off." Although plagued with some flaky moments, Live at Sin-E is an adequate live sampler that sometimes shows hints at the talent that would explode a few months later on Grace.

I don't know what's up with some people saying that Jeff's cover of "The Way Young Lovers Do" is bad. I honestly think that's the best song on the EP, and one of Jeff's best performances (rivalling "Hallelujah" off Grace and "Satisfied Mind" on Sketches for my Sweetheart the Drunk). "The Way Young Lovers Do" is so incredibly intense that when it finally ends after 10 minutes, it's like there's a huge void. When he starts scatting midway through, I just lose it. It's like a jazz song, when the soloist really starts cooking, and the drummer starts hitting his cymbals to egg him on, only here, it's just Jeff. He's his one soloist, his own rhythm section. This EP is just further proof of Jeff's great genius.
