If you listen to any of the shows on the Tusk tour, you'll know what I mean. You can hear that acoustic guitar very clearly on the intro. On more current live versions, all I can hear is that annoying fake piano on the intro.
I hear you about the studio version. I wonder why they don't try to do it live with acoustic guitars and no electric guitar, and with Mick on brushes or whatever he used on the studio track. (Like a little bit like "Gypsy" at the AHI show and "Never Going Back Again" on the SYW tour.) I wonder if they've tried that.
