Jeff Buckley - " Live at Sin-é [Deluxe Edition + DVD]": for what started as an 25 minute E.P. highlighting Buckley's performance at the Sin-é cafe, this has since been remastered and expanded to 2 Disc's (plus accompanying DVD), into something approaching 2 hours of content. This was recorded in 1993 (a Year before his studio album "Grace", and before drowning in the Mississippi River), and although there isn't really much original material here as such.....Buckley was such a powerfully capable singer, who was amongst the new breed of singer/songwriters that wasn't afraid to let his voice soar vocally, and thereby influencing a new generation of singers unafraid to reach higher vocally. (some would argue that he soared a little too readily, but for some, that's part of the appeal)....consisting of 21 songs and 13 spoken monologues, there is certainly a lot of material here to digest.
Firstly it must be noted, that this deluxe edition isn't for the casual 'Buckley' fan. The stripped to the bones performances, crowd noise, frequent monologues, Buckley conversing with crowd/technicians, will irritate and do little to convince those that aren't Buckley believers. The performance is a small mixture of material that would later go on to be recorded for his debut album ("Grace"), as well as a plethora of covers of songs by artists that were particular favourties of his (Leonard Cohen's - "Hallelujah", MC5's - "Kick out the Jams", Van Morrison's - "The Way Young Lovers Do" / "Sweet Thing", Billie Holiday's - "Strange Fruit", Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's - "Yeh Jo Halka Halka Saroor Hai", Nina Simone's - "If you Knew", Led Zeppelin's - "Night Flight", Bob Dylan's - "Just Like a Woman"/ "If you See Her, Say Hello" / "I Shall Be Released", all deftly covered and sung with the conviction of a man still finding himself within his music and so completely absorbed by it, that it was a wonder that he actually had time for anything else, yet still remained hopelessly enthralled to his heroes.
Although several technicians were on hand, this is mostly Buckley carrying the songs on his own, with just his guitar making up most of the instrumentation, and so without the band that would later form to help him record his debut album, Buckley is largely reliant here, on his exceptional voice to carry a lot of the songs, and although some tracks feel like the barest of sketches of songs (Buckley had very little in the way of original material, at this point), but his voice still remained a remarkably versatile tool, able to take a listeners breath away, with the right material, and few can deny his ability to deliver remarkably enchanting vocal gymnastics (his cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", is arguably better than the original), in fact Buckley knowingly had very little in the way of his own material to bring to these performances (around 5 tracks are his own work), yet, he hit his stride via exceptional covers and although not quite yet the incredibly talented songwriter he was due to be, was unquestionably able to take a song, and make it his own, and when he was really on-point, quite possibly one of the finest voices of his generation, using his voice as a very powerful spiritual instrument, able to make his voice plunge and soar, sound bruised & fragile.
Those that (Like me) that had the 'Live at Sin-é' 25 minute single disk E.P. would be seriously advised to trade in (or give away) their single disk edition and upgrade to this massively expanded version of the Sin-é performances, seeing as Buckley didn't manage to record a vast amount of original material before he past away, this is quite possibly the next best thing. Sure...the vast amount of the material here are Covers, and songs currently being worked on, and the accompanying DVD interview doesn't really prove too insightful into the man behind the music, (but worth seeing for his incredible cover of MC5's - "Kick out the Jams"), but this is an important document of a artist beginning to find his own feet as a considerable singer/songwriting talent, and although newcomers to Buckley will wonder what all the fuss is about, the rest of us that have already fallen for his considerable charms, and consider this 'deluxe edition' well worth the high asking price. And if your still unsure about purchasing this, bear this in mind....in the U.K. when I decided that I wanted to upgrade to this deluxe edition, most places in town previously a month of two before, had plentiful copies of this deluxe edition, but when eventually deciding to upgrade & went out to buy a copy, now don't have any in stock...it would appear that there appears to be something of a buying frenzy for this album (albeit a very small one), and now most places don't have stock of this album currently. (I managed to grab the last new copy from HMV, in town), and the only time I've seen it floating around now, has been the (very) occasional second hand copy, which isn't cheap.
