I reckon swap out Lilac Wine instead, gah thats a snoozefest.
Oh no you didn't.

I did.  I don't see what's so amazing about it when you've got slices of fried gold like Dream Brother, Mojo Pin and Grace on either side of it.  Overshadowed by the grandeur. 

It's haunting and beautiful.
It's maybe not one of the best, but definitely has more of a place on the album than Eternal Life.

I just don't get it I suppose.  To me its nowhere near as haunting or beautiful than the other tracks I mentioned.  And Eternal Life gives the album the kick it needs to balance it out.

You know, my two favourite tracks on Live at Sin E are probably Be Your Husband and Hallelujah.

As in, the very first and very last track.

anyone seen this? this guy seems to be trying, almost too hard to be Jeff. Effort points. I guess he is an actor, since I saw him suggested for the Biopic, which has been pushed back to 2013 now.

That was a little... cheesy.  Good effort though I suppose.  It'd be freaking hard to find someone to play Jeff if they're trying to find the voice too, like Val Kilmer in The Doors movie.  If its just for looks, then get James Franco all up in it.

James Franco would be a great match for Jeff.

I have all his releases but I always go back to Grace, it is a classic album.

A little morbid, but where did he drown? I thought it was the Mississippi but when I was at Sun Studios in Memphis last October they told me it wasn't there, but somewhere else, does anyone know?
Not that it makes a big difference, I was just curious.

he drowned in "Wolf River" in Memphis

Franco might be the best to portray Jeff's personality/character. But in terms of looks, this guy Mark Rendall could be the closest I've seen.

Who the heck is that guy?  :lol  I think Franco looks more like Jeff, tbh.

I guess he's maybe best known from being in the Vampire movie "30 Days of Night."

Isn't it just?  Jeff's version slays The Smiths' original.  Like most covers he does I suppose.

I am so lucky to have seen him live in the mid 90's live.

For real! I looove him. Wish I could have seen him but was a kid when he died. Grace is incredible, as is Sin-e. Sketches has some good stuff on it (I love Nightmares by the Sea and Everybody Here Wants You) but I rarely listen to that one.
Oh Jackie, always jumping to the most homoerotic possibility.

Yeah.  As soon as I heard Grace over WBCN in Boston I was all over the album and saw him the next year touring. So damn dynamic live.

for those who know/enjoy the collaboration Jeff did with Gary Lucas, I guess many tunes were never recorded and released that they wrote together.

Gary Lucas has decided to finally record and release them.

The 1st song was just released just yesterday, with Dave Combusti whose known as "The Niro"

"No One Must Find You Here"

Necessary background:  I think "Hallelujah" is perhaps the most over-rated song in the history of minstrels, bards, singer-songwriters, and rock stars.  I've grown to almost despise that song.

Having said that, I like Buckley's version, one of the only ones I do like (I like the original too).   But when I heard "Grace", I was floored.  What a wonderful song (actually, the first three songs on the CD were equally jaw-dropping).
