On this date in 1965, Bob Dylan plugged in and went electric in concert for the first time at the Newport Folk Festival. Today we're doing the opposite — going acoustic. Share an acoustic version of a song (acoustic guitar or piano) that was originally recorded with electric guitar or other electric instruments. To make it easier, we'll include cover versions.
