Hit: 5 Stars
On Live At The Troubadour 1969, Tim Buckley performs "Gypsy Women" from Happy Sad. This, like a lot of live performances of the era, is extended, and the impact
........well, here is an instance when someone like me who writes a lot about music wonders if he has not been doing so just a bit too much. You use words like "amazing" "classic" "stunning" a lot. It happens by reflex when describing the music you are passionate about, especially when you are super-passionate about music.
Are you throwing those words without thinking? Trying to find the quikest term instead of the one that fits best?
Well, sometimes. But when I use the words "absolutely searing" here, I know I have gotten it, meticulously, surgically correct.

This rendition of Buckley's "Gypsy Women," may be one of if not the best live musical performance I have ever listened too, and this is drawn from a 7000 album collection.
This track is transformed from a experimental piece of folk to a jazzy masterpiece--yeah, I thought that overused term out for this review too.
Buckley starts with a minor, mediteranian sounding scale and strums to the drums. He changes his guitar from a folk instrument to an exotic one. He sets the chords up. He repeats. He waits. He sings, a slow deep moan--a little up, further. A climax?
No. He waits some more. He lets the music bubble, varries his voice-- understanding pacing the way Coltrane did with his sax. Buckley uses his voice, in fact, as a jazz instrument, a horn that is in his vocal chords. It is sexual. It is full of suspence.
Finally, after more than ten minutes, Buckley rises to the top of his octive range, and his operatic voice sings, in a blues scale, nailing you to the wall. He has given you everything, and I mean everything, a singer ever could
The rest of the album--as if you needed anymore- is full of Bitches Brew like keybords, jazzy folk experments, and performances, that in general, trump the origonal album versions
So, no, you are not by a mile buying this for one track. Everything here is top notch.
But if you were, "Gypsy Women" would make even the worst music worth the price.
Live At The Troubadour Poster
Live At the Troubadour by Tim BuckleyThis product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
Live at the Troubadour 1969 is the second of a trio of well-produced live albums (alongside 1968's Dream Letter and 1973's Honeyman) to be unearthed and packaged to feed the legend surrounding one of rock's late, great singers. By the time of the Troubadour set, Tim Buckley had honed his vocal technique into a sensual, feverish, and utterly unique tool. The songs, most from the Lorca and Blue Afternoon albums, are the kind of avant-garde blues Buckley came up with on good days, but it's the twists and turns of that multioctave voice that's startling. Whether ripping up the hood of the tender "Strange Feelin'," stretching the lyric of "I Don't Need It to Rain," or prowling around the notes of "Nobody Walkin'," Buckley's vocal gymnastics spur the imagination. --Reuben Dessay
