Having grown up with their music (I’m in my late 60’s now), I was glad that I didn’t read or see more 👎 comments on this video❗️Although his voice has changed drastically from the past, I still give him and the band a LOT of credit for continuing to put on live concerts in spite of it - AND working around it as best he/they could with the arrangement! I won’t lie and say that others who have ‘aged’ just as much (and are in their 70’s, or about the same as he is here) have the voices they used to - Elton John, Jon Bon Jovi, Clapton, the late Gary Booker (from Procal Harem), etc. It’s an unavoidable fact of life, but the fact that they ARE willing to perform the best they can says, and means, a LOT to me! 👍
