If you didn't use the capo, those voicings would be a pretty difficult stretch.
[quote=SRVFan2000]In the past, I know guitar players use them to change pitch to help out singers...I think.
Yes, and presumably the singer wanted to sing in that key making the capo a useful tool in this situation.
Hope that helps!
