Really? I dunno, man -- I mean, there's definitely some "we're on stage, we're adrenalized, so naturally we're going to play faster than on the record" to be expected, but I'd think you'd be hard pressed to find many songs in their catalog that have retained their natural tempo. I think the degree to which it ruins the live performance is overstated, but certainly not the widespread presence of increased tempos.Birds in Hell wrote:There are a handful of songs that are played faster now than in years past but it's not some across the board thing.
I think the issue is also that they don't play to a click track, so some songs they've played a million times are naturally a lot faster than songs they rarely play. This isn't a PJ-only phenomenon; I've observed this with a lot of other bands that I follow and collect recordings over the years as well.Kevin Davis wrote:Really?
