As far as I understood he just did this when during his all-night 
concerts, he
needed to have a break and didn't want to interrupt his spaced-out (or 
asleep)
audience. Many years ago, I saw 2 or 3 evening concerts and he played 
along with
his delay all the time, although at that time I had no clear idea of what 
he was
exactly doing.
