The song was first played live on September 15, 1992 at the Coconut Teaser.  [[Karl Koch]] described the event best when he said, "['No One Else' was] a song that started to steer the band in a previously invisible direction." Rather than sticking with a heavy Pixies-influenced sound, "No One Else" was one of the first songs to have the band wondering whether they were going in a "‘pop’, [or] too ‘commericial’ sounding" direction.
