Does anybody else besides me like the acoustic version of that song way better than the regular version? I wish they'd play it like that live from now on.

Which acoustic? Is there a certain recording of it you prefer or is it just the general acoustic version?
I quite like most of the acoustic songs I've heard them play. Golly Sandra is the best acoustic though.

but my favorite might be one from an old audio on OGG...that you can't DL anymore. I agree that the acoustic songs are really nice, or the half acoustic/electric songs...the acoustic parts pop a little more than the...non-acoustic songs, I think

I do agree that doing a 2/3 electric 1/3 acoustic song or two during a set would be great. I've always liked their "acoustic" sets. It's aways good to hear the same songs we've been listening to for a while in a different way.

Yeah I think that it makes the most out of all three of the girls instruments, if that makes sense?

Like, a lot of times in the din of things it's hard to hear, say Sherri's guitar, or something, but it's not that hard to pick out an acoustic from an electric, sonically. So I will come out as pro.

I hate the NBC version, I think it was just a bad performance... like, I don't think it was their faults, it just sounds like an off night. I absolutely can't stand it.

However, the MTV/VH1 version is really great and I love the acoustic version. I still prefer the electric one, though.

I agree. The version they played for the UGO contest was amazing. I've been trying to figure out a way to get it into my iTunes but I'm not very good with computers.

Telescope Eyes (Acoustic)
Lost at Sea (Acoustic)
Golly Sandra (Acoustic)

They're in .m4a format, but that shouldn't be a problem since you're using iTunes. This version of Golly Sandra used to be my favorite, but the one from the Dermot O'Leary Show overshadowed even this

I normally dislike acoustic versions of songs when a band will just swap out electrics for acoustics and play the exact same thing.

I saw a bit of Foo Fighters doing an acoustic "Best of you". It was painful. Dave Groel softly strumming on the guitar screaming "THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST OF YOU!"

Golly Sandra from that radio interview is definitley my favorite acoustic Eisley song (if you don't count Just Like We Do normally).

I know specifically in Marvelous Things(which this topic is about), Sherri plays the chords rather than some kind of riff that's in the recorded version, which is mainly what I like better.

I can stand it, but I don't think it's as good as their acoustic performances on UGO or VH1. Something was definitely off and I can't really figure out what it was exactly.
