The allmusic review of the original song (yes the song gets a review of its own) says: "The beauty of the performance is that it is in real time, an approximation of a loop. The drums and bass lock into a groove that is humanly imperfect. If the song was recorded post-1985, say, it would probably have been digitally sampled and looped via computer, which would have made it less human and probably less musical. The ears of listeners became accustomed to perfect, machinated beats and loops"
So, now, the performance remains in real time, but making direct use of a digital loop, not merely to lock in the bassline with the drum machine, but to approximate a real time jam between two guitarists (only, by the time I start layering on the final chords there are in fact 5 different guitar solos bumping up against each other). So the goal is not to make something that is perfectly machinated, but to use machines to make something that is "humanly imperfect". Well, I'm sure it's imperfect.
