24. Smile vs. Nothingman Vs. Leaving Here

It's interesting to me that "Nothingman" was recorded electric in the studio, but has been (I think) been performed acoustic -- or on an electric approximating the sound of an acoustic -- ever since. Is there any other PJ song with a performance history anomaly like this?

Stone's acoustic in Ledbetter? Or Mike's tuning?

it's too bad because the electric tone is so beautiful

Yeah, such a striking opening on the record.

It was heads. "Smile" can use the votes more anyway.
Ah the old John Fowles approach

Mat Cauthon approach if you ask me.

If Leaving Here wasn't a cover, I'd vote for it.
