Live at Sin-E. Plus, KCRW DJ Liza Richardson had already had Jeff do an acoustic set on her late night show six months prior.
that session. Clearly none of this mattered however. All misgivings fell away once the session began. I remember Jeff being extremely warm, very charismatic, and absolutely genuine. The performance exuded a rare intensity that is still very apparent sixteen years on.
