If you remember they played everything normal speed perfectly on AOL and Fox & Friends, then as the tour started it went downhill from there. The same with every AB tour, they start playing how it was supposed to be played like the records then several shows later it became faster & faster every night.

It's gone from a little nitpick of mine to something way beyond now because it's my biggest pet peeve as a musician, if you can't stay in the pocket then you need to stop everything & practice your butt off until it's super tight.

I think its totally different when your infront of thousands of people, the guys probably have a huge bolt of adrenaline going through thier system. Look at other bands when they play live, i.e. Metallica. They play way to fast and sloppy. But its how they do their shows everynight and people still eat it up. I just ordered the DVD from amazon so I will post my LATE review soon, both the Best Buys by my house didnt have any copies!!!
