Howard Leese developed that piece. Nancy loved it so she learned it (with a few changes).
She got so good at it they knew they had to put it somewhere on the album, so it ended up fitting as an intro to COY.
Once the album was released, they all agreed it had to be done live that way.
One more note about Nancy: she's also a very good singer. Her harmony parts are excellent.
BTW: Ann plays pretty good guitar, too. Not as good as Nancy, but pretty good.
