There must be something wrong with your headphones or speakers, as the Van Morrison original most definitely has vocals, which came through loud and clear in the reaction. That makes me wonder, how were you able to hear the vocals in the Jeff Buckley version, but not the former? You kept fiddling with your headphones and making facial gestures that implied that you couldn’t quite hear everything. I wonder what the issue was. Perhaps there is some faulty wiring or your headphones are dying. As for your comment about Jeff sounding like Robert Plant, that’s because Led Zeppelin was his favourite band. In fact, Jeff covers their song, Night Flight (Physical Graffiti) on this album. Additionally, Sin-e (Shh-nay), the New York City cafe where this Jeff Buckley album was recorded, was located on the same street (St. Marks) as the apartment building on the album cover of Physical Graffiti. Robert Plant and Jimmy Page are massive Jeff Buckley fans. Plant said that Jeff was a “much greater singer” than him. Page said that Jeff was “the greatest singer to appear in two decades” (between the ‘70s and ‘90s). Brad Pitt also said this about Jeff: “He’s Page and Plant in one, on a technical level; it’s mind-blowing.” I think this particular performance of Jeff’s best personifies Pitt’s sentiment. Anyway, problems and all, thanks for taking the time to react to these songs. God bless.
Thanks Mojo! That’s odd…I could here the cover but not the original vocals So suesue and I are going to do some experimenting with everything today It’s never happened before
Ive said this for years: Jeff Buckley is Robert Plant and Jimmy Page all in one
