When he played in Iowa City, he didn't copletely bang it either, but it all had strenght. That's what made it such a great set. I think almost anything is like that. It's like comparing Scorcese to MTV. Scorcese can pull off off amazing fast editing (see Bringing Out the Dead or Afer Hours if you have your doubts), but when you see it non-stop on MTV it looses impact. If you have some subtlety inbetween, the intese moments have that much more impact.
