Jeff Buckley - If You See Her, Say Hello (Not Sin-é)

Jeff's take on one of Bob's songs (from 'Blood on the Tracks'). Another version of this cover was released on the 'Live from Sin-é' album. That one features Jeff playing slide guitar and is of a much cleaner quality, but you can never really have too many versions from Jeff.

INTERESTING THAT JEFF IS COVERING THE ORIGINAL NY SESSION VERSION VS. THE OFFICIAL RELEASE RECORDED IN MINNEAPOLIS.

@Abrown465 I thought the same thing when I first heard it. It just goes to show how much of a music lover he was. Always special to realize something like that about one of the greats.

@mateyboy07 i really strongly disagree with that buckley's lyrical and musical genius lead him to write some of the most complex yet powerful songs ever. the way he combines complex chord structures and varying melodies is astonishing i dont believe anyone has had the talent before or since jeff to express emotions so vividly through music. his talent was just as much (if not more) writing music and poetry as it was interpreting others music

[thisnotmyname]

@mateyboy07 i disagree purely for the fact that i don't think he wanted us to connect with him as a person and know all of his experiences. he said he didn't need to be remembered, but he wanted his music to. i suppose in one respect his songwriting was 'vague' in that it's applicable to all of us and most can relate to what he's singing about. but at the same time he was so individual and unique because of his fearlessness, which was at a level that we will never see again.

@WatersStillRunDeep I saw him play this at Sin-e in 92, the summer before the live EP was recorded. The audience were all spellbound, (guys and stunning chicks included :D) I feel very blessed to have seen that gig, I was walking home late and heard his angelic voice coming down the street. I am Australian, I was only living in NYC for 3 months...So I made sure I saw him and his band playing in Sydney, Australia, twice, and it was awesome, especially to see how his live performance developed

@DavidSmithMusic I couldn't have stated it better. Jeff's technical ability is simply astonishing.

[WatersStillRunDeep]

I saw him doing this at Sine and was pretty surprised. He really hit those high notes. Really much better than this version. He got a great sound out of his solo Telecaster, too. Even more remarkable was the number of absolutely stunning chicks sitting there sipping their iced espressos and listening to him.

He was an extraordinary singer. Sometimes I think Sam Cooke is the only singer who matters. Then I listen to Robert Plant, and have to let him in, too. Then I listen to Jeff Buckley again, and have to seriously rethink Cooke and Plant. He has such exquisite control.

[ecald12]

@DavidSmithMusic Agree. Jeff's amazing technical ability to compose is still not widely understood.
