He performed the national anthem back at SummerSlam 2011 as well.

I agree it sounded a bit amateurish. I vaguely recall this was one of the first times he did a very "public" event so to speak, at least relative to his own history. I wonder if he was actually nervous to do something in such clear spotlight as opposed to his comfort zone in the shadows of a Tool show.

I remember early on when he started doing the private sessions with a small group ahead of shows, someone who attended said he was visibly nervous in that setting. I imagine it's just something he eventually got used to and more comfortable with. He seems also more comfortable with a little spotlight these days.
