I was wondering if maybe the sudden voice change for Salute wasn't really a physiological change but an electronic one. That is, did they drop out the bottom of his voice to help it punch through the arrangements of background instruments? It's tough for a baritone to sing a lead vocal because there are so many instruments of similar range and timbre that the voice can get lost, and the more instruments involved in the arrangement, the muddier the vocal gets. Just a theory, since I don't know what his concert voice was doing at the same time.
