CRT. unfortunatly I missed the 1st half of it. sound pretty good. the temple sounds almost as fast as the CBC performance of the song. wonder why he chose to slow it up in the 2nd recording of it?

I think he slowed the tempo to make it sound a little more updated. In concert, he usually starts the tempo out slowly on the second part, but speeds it up as he works his way through it. Pretty effective. It reminds me of a train speeding up.
