It has something to do with the way the right hand picking is. You can't play the song exactly the way it is on the album live. You can get so close that 99.9% of the audience wouldn't know the difference, but for some reason he isn't playing it himself

yeah he's not playing the bulk of it. this is the first tour i've seen him on where he's not really playing these picking songs... wonder whether arthritis or some other age-related problem caught up with him? he's been extremely lucky for a long time to be able to pluck and pick like he's been doing. i mean during OMS in 2012 he was doing Rock Away Blind by request, off the cuff.
