Honestly, I think he was a liiiiittle thrown by the spontaneity of the performance. He hadn't planned on playing it, he was singing into a microphone that was set up for speaking, I don't think he'd really warmed up his voice all that much, so I would guess it was more that he wasn't that excited with how the song came across. His live shows are so polished and it was kind of neat seeing him tune his guitar and figure out if everything was in place for certain songs, but I got a sense that he wasn't loving not giving us a more "perfected" version. Nonetheless, it was really neat and I don't think anyone cared at all that it was so off the cuff, everyone was very excited by the song choice when he said it was what he was going to play!

Also, I should note that he played "Big Love" completely full out while sitting in an armchair. I couldn't help laughing at the end, because it was total, fulll on "Big Love" yelping, while sitting down, on a stage in an auditorium. Amazing.
