One more thing, Jerry barres the C with the pinky and Weir barres with the ring. The extra effort to get the ring in place is the key nano delay that forces the extra tight spaced rhythm strokes, and all of this makes it work.
Each of them has their respective roles to play, Jerry slightly lazy but powerful, Weir lightly glissading and almost ahead of the beat, and the combination of the two accounts for the incredible energy, unlike any other two chord G C combo.
Like, compare it to the Allman Brothers equivalent of the day: Revival. No comparison.
They were ahead of their time. (and the beat)
