    Live at Sin-é is a live EP by the American singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley, released in November 1993 on Columbia Records. It was Buckley's first commercial release. 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).[1]

    The EP comprises four songs: "Mojo Pin" and "Eternal Life", which both later appeared on Buckley's 1994 album Grace, plus covers of the 1968 Van Morrison song "The Way Young Lovers Do" and the Édith Piaf song "Je N'en Connais Pas la Fin".[2]
