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?

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.
