Music reviews of Live at Sin-?
Music Review: The perfect venue for a near-perfect performance
Rating: 5 Stars
General Observations:
-- Sin-e is acoustically perfect. This is apparent from the opening number, an a capella performance. Seriously, the venue could not possibly have provided a better sound quality, which is amazing for a coffee shop.
-- There are unfortunate ground hums throughout the recording. The first becomes quite noticeable during "Grace", gets loud around "The Twelfth of Never" and lasts, at varying levels, throughout the first set. The second gets loud around "The Suckiest Water" and lasting through the second set.
No song is ruined by it, and it is mostly faint, but you will notice the ground him on a high-end sound system.
-- If you dislike Jeff Buckley's tendency to wander off during a song, testing out unscripted, unexpected and sometimes un-listenable guitar or lyrics, you'll want to pass on this album.
He doesn't reinvent every song in this performance, but he does tinker quite a bit, especially during the second set and especially during longer songs.
For example, you won't recognize this album's "Hallelujah" as the studio version. I think it's far superior to the studio version, but you might not.
You'll recognize "Calling You," "Drown In My Own Tears" and "The Twelfth of Never" as fairly faithful renditions; you won't recognize "Just Like A Woman" as a Bob Dylan song; you'll barely recognize "Strange Fruit" as Billie Holiday's signature.
On the other hand, you'll love your introduction to Qawwali via Buckley's performance of "Yeh Jo Halka Halka Saroor Hai," but most believers in Sufi would probably consider the performance heresy.
Top Tracks:
-- "Sweet Thing" alone is worth the purchase price. Every fan knows Buckley's great gift is the ability to make a song his; it's especially true of this Van Morrison tune.
It has replaced "Forget Her" as my favorite Buckley tune, and for the same reason: A perfect mix of joy, sadness, and longing.
-- "Night Flight" was previously released on the EP version of this album, and it's no wonder. Passionate, aggressive.
-- "Calling You" is an incredible demonstration of Buckley's virtuosity; I would say the same of "Je N'En Connais Pas la Fin" but I believe that as angelic as Buckley's voice may be, that song should be sung by ladies only.
-- This recording concretely proves that "Mojo Pin" was meant to be played live and in the tone / tenor of the moment. It's a song that changes meaning depending on Buckley's mood, and his mood changes at least twice during this one take.
