This instruments in this recording sound fairly close miked, however the vocals sound more distant.  There is also not really any of the room in this mix.   It seems like the instrumentation was more of the focus in this acoustic bonus track, especially with the instrumental intro and outro not heard in the original version of the song.  The song is very raw and has a live sound to it. The levels of the piano and guitar seem to drop only slightly when the vocals come in after the intro. The piano is more obviously heard in the left ear and the guitar in the right, with the (I'm guessing) hand tapping way in the background of the song on the right. Lead vocals and harmonies compliment each other well with levels and their panning.  The harmonies aren't overpowering and the lead isn't drowning out the backing.
