Live at Sin-é is a live EP by Jeff Buckley. The four-song EP was Buckley's first commercial recording and was released in November 1993 on Columbia Records. The EP captured Buckley, accompanying himself on a Fender Telecaster, in the Sin-é coffeehouse in New York City's East Village, the neighborhood he had made his home. An expanded version was released in 2003 as Live at Sin-é: (Legacy Edition).[6][7]
