Clearly the original was mixed for surround sound. The narration is supposed to be all-around, and the on-camera audio is meant to come from center-stereo.

Ack, gotta join the chorus - the sound mix is nuts. When Tony speaks on camera the sound is clear and loud but as soon as we switch to the voiceover narration his voice is barely audible behind shrill sound effects and music. If you then jack the sound up, you'll be blasted out of your seat when he speaks on camera again. I'm pretty sure that your average documentary viewer is 10000000x more interested in what the narrator has to say than having their eardrums cored out by the "background" music. This one needs a sound do-over.

I suspect it's because the voiceover was originally mixed into the center channel, while the live parts were stereo, and this video was taken from the 5.1 mix, which just took the center channel and chucked it in the bin, rather than down-mixing (or ripping the video with the stereo mix, if it was available).
