FFS my whole message just died...
Anyway, retyping it all out..
Has anyone else noticed that for the last few years of performances, maybe even a decade or so, Perry's guitar part (as heard on Wish and seen on Show and Kilburn) is no longer being played evem where there are enough players. Obviously where there aren't enough hands, such as Bestival 2011, Open was played with one guitar only (gah!!) and keys so no chance it was played on that version. I note that Porl did not play those parts on it during his latest stint in the band so WTF....
I can't tell if Roger is playing a tape of the part, or playing the part on the keyboards cos it sure as heck doesn't sound like it's there at all. I guess it might be mixed right down.. That part is an integral part of the song, it makes Open what it is and really.. WTF..... Roger used to play guitar on the song in 2000 (check YouToob if you don't believe me)...
This makes me sad.
You can hear harmonics and stuff on this Reading 2012 version , but no Perry part... WTF!!!!!
If you have a lead on Brisbane 21 August 1992 - CT version, for the love of Bob, let me know. Please!
I think they skip this part of the song intentionally. Over the last decade there has been a lot of change in the overall sounding: No keyboard, but extensive use of the wah-wah pedal by Porl. The return of the keyboard but only one guitar. And finally two guitars and a keyboard. Back to normal so to say. And currently he seems to thing, that this part simply doesn't sound right anymore.
Guess it's the same thinking why he's not releasing the second part of 4:13 - simply it doesn't feel/sound right at the moment.
