Something tells me that Richard would not have let 'nervousness' accelerate the count of any song.... My interpretation was if they sped things up a tad - they could fit more songs into the set. (or quite possibly this was their answer to not let things get dragged down by all the ballads...)Speeding through songs is sometimes considered to be a dubious sign of accomplishment. "Look how fast I can play this song."
I also think that in a concert setting, speeds increase with nervousness, and not with any forethought or intentions.
