just wondering what "rockin" hip tune you would love to hear stripped down and played accousticly...for me it would have to be Trickle Down..i think it would sound so friggin' great Unplugged...johnny with the snare drum, the 2 accoustics, and a standup base!!

It might just be the IBE kick that I've been on, but I'd love to hear a stripped down version of Gus. I think it would be an interesting reworking. The slow jam feeling of it + some acousitc stylings would be pretty cool to hear.

Good question... I think an unplugged version of Twist My Arm would sound neat...

All valid choices. :thumb:
Unplugged would basically be "calmed down"... I can't exactly think of a song that kicks out (like Music@Work or Poets) that would sound good "calmed down"... I can only think of "calm songs calmed further"... lol.
My vote'll go for You're Everywhere with lots of picking, pull-offs and slides.

The Sausalito unplugged version of "Membership" is so fantastic that I'd love to hear another mid-tempo post-PP tune stripped down. Maybe Fever or Leave...

I think Lake Fever would be great unplugged that or maybe Nautical Disaster :jump

remember when Lake Fever made it's first appearance at the New Years Day 2000 show and it was all stripped down like a cross between Wheat Kings and Fiddler's Green and it was going to be the jewel of the new album (which turned out to be the just-less-than-precious-gem called MAW) ...
I'd like them to play Lake Fever like that again.

There is a compilation called "Phantom Acoustics" that is circulating. It contains stripped down version of the following tracks:
Poets
Get Back Again
Every irrelevance
Butts Wigglin'
Long Time Running
Pigeon Camera
Scared
Bobcaygeon
Grace, Too
Radio Show
membership
Flamenco
Wheat Kings
Thompson Girl
We'll Go Too
(Some tracks aren't really stripped down, but they are acoustic.)
I'll post this to the tracker if people are interested.

The idea mentioned earlier of Nautical Disaster being done accoustic would be phenomenal. As for others, I think Trickle Down, Looking For A Place To Happen, and Something On would be great. As an aside, you wouldn't think Neil Young's Rockin' In The Free World would be good unplugged, but it is almost better than the original!!
