As for Matt's explanation, how in the world would you use a version that is two bars off to sync lighting?

Algorithms are used in pre-prod to sync with the studio versions. My guess is Jon is like Springsteen and just flies in 2 hours before the show and they never had time to reprogram to a live track.
U2 does this all the time, but actually spends weeks doing it live.
