    I liked Jeff Buckley a lot already, but not knowing much about him (just one bootleg live CD I got in a trade) I didn’t know about this. Now I like him very much more!

    I think the tempo in the last clip is about right. Personally I enjoy this masterpiece without visual distractions.

    Over the years I have come across several great recordings. My heart goes for Barbara Bonney’s voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBDlZwF0YSU
