Lovetown - for reference, I'm listening to the New Year's Day show from the Point Depot, and you can here the gap between the chords - yet on recent versions, he just plays it with normal open chords?
Maybe he liked the sound of the power chords back then, and now he likes the open chords? You can ask the same question about a number of songs. Why was Bad on the album just played with open strings, but live it was palm muted? I know the album version is like 2 or 3 guitars, but you can get close with 1. And why didn't he use a humbucker or bridge for Pride live instead of using the bridge/middle of a strat he used/uses? Weird.
