That's what makes an artist great...the ability to perform without frills and gimmicks. Just hand the guy a guitar and he can make great music. AWESOME!

I reckon they sped up the tape cos on a normal pitch it would've added at least a minute on the final mix and maybe they couldn't squeeze it in or maybe the editor was messing about and realised the higher pitch sounded far better than the original slower recording. Apart from that dunno lol...but it is a corker of a performance and might've been the icing on the cake for the ole boys popularity back in the day. This vid is eternal...
