Jeff Martin The Messenger live acoustic version

[BammaMelbourne]

Watched the Dude in Australia, and have a live CD from one of his gigs. What an amazing man.

Other than having my eyes open, i sing like Jeff in my car. (In my mind!)

[lovekrakow]

One of the best rock male voices ever !

[uppastbedtime]

Please listen to this song by it's composer, Daniel Lanois. It's a complicated song.. is it physical or spiritual, secular or sacred? But mostly because no one can sing such a soul-bearing song but the composer. The beauty of this song comes from the soul of Daniel Lanois.

[TheMiseEire]

Jeff plays this song in DADGAD btw. He's like wine, his voice is getting better with age..



[TheGinabombina]

It is amazing that his voice in this crappy clip sounds almost exactly like the studio version. So, so talented.

Check out the version of this song by Trihouse.

[Nanceify]

Brilliant!

[FSJGuy78]

ah back when Muchmusic played....music

[ledzeprulz]

i found a better sound playing this song with both E's dropped to D. whether or not that's correct, i really enjoy that sound... this is a beautiful song...

[RKTNation]

The PROPER tuning for this live version of the song is:

C

G

C

G

C

D

[tylee77]

Awesome song. Jeff Martin must be one of the greatest guitar players around.

[funlivelife]

He looks like Jim Morrison

[Antzb69]

He also has the same initials :P

[crisation]

I love this version.. is there any way to get it on mp3????

[underthelighthouse]

GREAT Canadian talent!!

[BelowTheMorgue]

Jeff is absolutely amazing!

[roccomaster]

super banda "the tea party" los escuche por error, y me atraparón son excelentes!

[k2dreamer]

If you ever get a chance to see Jeff "Live", buy the ticket and go! Jeff is an awesome live act!

[loosha84]

sounds just as amazing live......awesome clip!

[richardoini]

does anyone know where a good tab is of this? or will i just have to do it by ear and by sight?

[geirtore86]

me and jeff have often played this song together on tour:)

[MrCrowley617]

I bet you have... care to prove it, sir?

[madball8]

hes fuckin good live!

[TeuteuTeuteu77]

What is the tuning of that song? It is DADADE? or DADGBD? thank's a lot!!

[cheefchin]

DADADE

[Megacliff]

I'm surprised that everyone is commenting on his beautiful voice for this video. I love Jeff's voice, but I'm pretty sure he said earlier on this same show that he had a bad cold, and it shows. :)

[1244scotto]

Incredible voice has Jeff, I haven't heard better

[DeadlyRays]

can anyone msg me with the correct chords for this song! everyone ive found doesnt sound proper.

[richardoini]

i agree, there needs to be chords found for this. i will try and figure them out, and if i do, i will let you know

great song

[socketmanca]

i couldn't find the proper chords either but it appears he's using some type of open tuning..wish i knew which one. please let us know if you figure it out.

cheers!

[TampaRed]

Just to comment on murkelthemusician's guess in his video description that this is from Canadian TV - yes, it is. It's from Much Music in Toronto.

[SirNoodles]

Absolutely beautiful. Jeff Martin is a "natural" with singing and guitar playing. One of the best concerts I ever saw was the Tea Party in 1995

[Sovermilion]

Hehe, I've always thought there's something similar about Jeff Martin and Jim Morrison beyond just their looks and initials, but I never got the impression Jeff was trying to follow in Jim's footsteps either.

Their styles are/were very different, yet there's still some kind of indescribable link that nags in the back of the mind!

[darkmoogle77]

Imagine him singing for The Doors of the 21st century. It would be just amazing.

[thelittlekittie]

i seen him live..omg what he's voice did to me.

[lizardarific]

i agree it is awesome - it is a Daniel Lanois cover

[sinisterone1avatar1]

Man i Wish this group didn't part away.

This is Gold.

[Virtualwallvirus]

Definetly one of their best songs. My favorite band ever and always.

[gavcampo]

Amazing!
