#Ian# · 10-15-2003, 09:13 AM

Anyone gotten it yet? What do you think?

Alistair · 10-15-2003, 10:45 AM

hey what? where?

Sionna · 10-15-2003, 11:09 AM

The Sin-e one?Its like 40Euro and I'm really broke[img]smileys/smiley6.gif[/img]

~jeff~ · 10-15-2003, 11:19 AM

i got it!!

i think it's amazing.......i always thought sine-e was the bst live thing he had done (with the ep)...so when this came out...a whole double cd thingy.......i was extatic!!!....

ok...um....yeah it's good....i love the interludes he does...eg the musical chairs one, he's actually really funny/ witty. i also love the cover of the nusrat cover he does...jeff is so good in so many different styles of music

Sionna · 10-15-2003, 11:22 AM

I want it!!!I only have the Live in Chicago dvd at the mo,but its not enough.All his live stuff is so much better.Anything special on the new dvd?

~jeff~ · 10-15-2003, 12:07 PM

um...no.....the dvd is only 10 minutes long......

it is a mixture of live at sin-e clips which are good...and small interview snippets....it's good, just not long enough

Enoch · 10-15-2003, 12:59 PM

I got to get it. Jeff was the man.

lizziegreeneyes · 10-15-2003, 02:31 PM

what are your thoughts on the Live at L'Olympia ?!?! I may want to snag a copy from ebay but wanted to see what some of you thought !!!

dara · 10-15-2003, 02:54 PM

I liked the olympia alot the sound quality is a birt rough but ya can get over that, theres some really good stuff on it

~jeff~ · 10-15-2003, 03:48 PM

l'olympia is fab........kick out the jams is wicked (jeff's version)

Angela · 10-15-2003, 04:02 PM

Olympia is a big love fest [img]smileys/smiley27.gif[/img] Jeff always had that casette with him, FWIW.

Thom · 10-15-2003, 04:08 PM

yeah i really like live at l'olympia like ~jeff~ i think kick out the jams rocks as well as Je N'en Connais Pas La Fin. especially the little funky bit as the end. Definetly get it!

RedPerspective · 10-15-2003, 10:42 PM

If you're a true Buckley fan you *need* this. It's like a perfectly recorded bootleg of a great coffeehouse show.... You can hear glasses clinking between songs and Jeff goes off on little tangents, especially a funnyparody of "The End" by The Doors.

DVD is unspectacular though. 10 minutes and half of that footage is already in the bonusfeatures of the Chicago DVD. But the CDs are well worth every penny.

Sionna · 10-16-2003, 07:19 AM

Liva a l'Olympia is my faveourite Buckley album,I always prefer his live stuff.I'd love to have seen him [img]smileys/smiley6.gif[/img]

Tatevik · 10-16-2003, 09:02 AM

I want that CD too... its €30 in Soundwaves fiona! I might get santa to get it for me!

Hmmm....a little correction: there is a brief excerpt of the 'Grace EPK' interview on this CD, only expanded by the outtakes (literally three additional sentences! [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img])

The Sin-e footage *is* spectacular, especially Jeff's affecting reading of 'New Year Prayer' and ' The Way Young Lovers Do' kills me everytime. Much to short, of course.

There are also a few outtakes (more of Jeff's banter) available now on the offical web site

~jeff~ · 10-16-2003, 09:46 AM

yes!....although the dvd is much too short, i love his reading of new year prayer...it's beautiful

#Ian# · 10-16-2003, 12:19 PM

Live at l'Olympia?? Never heard of it, its not the mystery white boy thing is it.

Anyway, my thoughts. Besides eternal life which was allready available on the original live at Sin é EP none of his songs are what I would consider the definitive very best versions of the songs, having said that the early version/alternate lyrics version of lover, you should have come over is interesting. The real gems on it in my opinion are the cover versions especially Be Your Husband (quick question for those that have heard both, Lisa or Jeff?), Just like a woman, the one by the pakistani guy(I think he's pakistani Jeff mentioned pakistan I think) and the previously available the way young lovers do. Its well worth gettting. Someone mentioned 40 euro, I got it for 32 in tower records.Edited by: #Ian#

Thom · 10-16-2003, 02:23 PM

No live at l'Olympia is differnt to the mystery white boy tour cd. Both are really good but theres something about l'Olympia i just love. Maybe its the frenchness, the crowd, the venue or jeff. But whatever it is in my opinion just magical.

lizziegreeneyes · 10-16-2003, 03:06 PM

Thank you all for your input, it looks like I will soon be in the poorhouse - but I will have spectacular music to keep me company !!!

And RedPerspective - thanks for the info - there really is nothing better than an artist you love, in a coffeehouse surrounding with the glasses clinking in the background - cheers !!!!

Sionna, I tried to see him and the show was sold out - figured I'd see him next time he came through - it kills me also !!! [img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img]Cheesy as it is, we will always have his music and it is a legacy - as much as he disliked that idea of the music industry (world), where would we be withouthis addition?!?!

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was his name. You can see a picture of Jeff with Nurat here and on that page you can also read the liner notes (I think that's what they are) Jeff wrote for one of Nurat's albums.

P.S. I've passed around Lisa's cover of 'Be My Husband' quite a lot to anybody who would listen because I adored it so much, but then Jeff's Sin-e version blew me away. One of the most, if not the most, spectacular tracks on that CD.

~jeff~ · 10-17-2003, 01:27 AM

Angela, is there any way you could send me Lisa's version of that song, ive heard jeff's and love it and would love to hear lisa's?

Angela · 10-17-2003, 08:40 AM

It's just a click away on our very own MP3 page! Near the bottom. [img]smileys/smiley14.gif[/img]

janedoe · 10-17-2003, 08:48 AM

Its the best thing!! Had to buy it when I heard it was out!!! Jeff is a God and he is sssooooo funny, i mean who else coulg go from Nusrat Feteh Ali Kahn into Nirvana????? NOBODY thats who [img]smileys/smiley10.gif[/img] [img]smileys/smiley10.gif[/img] [img]smileys/smiley10.gif[/img]
Jeff is with us, everyday [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]
