Well, maybe he did... I was too excited to take note of that... But if you look at the picture he is using the theremin right there and the upper neck... so... I don´t know. Maybe someone else can tell, Joe maybe?
And me and my son have talked about it... he didn´t use the slide throughout the whole concert... what we could see.
I believe you are right on both counts. On your photo, Joe is pushing down on the headstock of the baritone section and he does that for the soloing WITH the theremin and he seems to me to have an off again-on again relationship with a slide during that part of the song''s "movement". I'm pretty sure I've seen a glass slide at one point, so I think we have to keep our eyes on Joe at all times! Really nice pictures worth the repeat viewing!

Actually, pondering things, I think Joe detunes on the fly usually (he does within the song at some points-solo I think too) and not sure he ever pushes down on the headstock, a risky venture if it was a Gibson! Maybe it's just on the strings on above the nut on the headstock...
Did you see that video clip of him in Denmark??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYD70-DY … re=channel
He does use the slide on that one for sure, Sune.
