this alone does not mean it's better. sure, you might do it for adrenaline, but, IMO, FTR doesn't sound good played so rapidly. i like it better as the trudging, slug-it-out, hard-rocking guitar-fest that it is. i think it's a wontabulous way to start off their album (it just may be my favorite song on there).

Exactly. I much prefer the album version to the sped up version on Leno.

As for the rest of what you said, I kinda agree. I've never personally been to an AB concert(anytime they've been around my area, I've already had plans and have been unable to go) but I have watched a lot of video footage and listened to some bootlegs as well. They've definitely done better versions of FTR live than they did on Leno that particular night. I guess the Leno performance, like you said, was a bit of a letdown, given I know that they can do better.
