You guys kind of missed the point of the song... somehow edgy, alternative rock got transformed into easy listening... the soloist's tone doesn't even remotely relate to the mood of Jeff Buckley's music. There are a bunch of really cool moving lines missing from the arrangement and the soloist misses a lot of opportunities to experiment and instead opts for much easier and less interesting melodic choices. You guys should stick to the old stuff.
I agree and I don't understand why that comment got a thumbs down. The arrangement is lacking the extent of variety of structure the song provides. With 15 guys, you can easily beef up the complexity of it, have stronger differentiation between the verses/choruses/bridge and still have all the parts covered. The soloist was a little too controlled for the first half, but the second half was solid! Great song selection, just needs a beefier arrangement and more dynamic changes throughout.
