I think it's funny how people go to see a musical artist 50 years after their peak and expect them to sound just the way they did 50 years ago. Music evolves over time, musicians come and go, and if we are lucky they have remained active and have a ton of NEW material they would love for people to hear and support. Instead, we expect them to be human juke boxes, cranking out "the hits" and sounding exactly like they did on a decades-old recording. It's not really fair, from a musician's point of view but hey... I'm an old musician so I'm a bit biased. :)
