Very well stated Crazy Mate! I watched a recent concert from The Who and sad to hear Roger straining to sing...main thing though the audience loved them!
CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:its called "getting old" Jerome, not so much refering to you, but the artist(in this case gilmour)...ive found that over the years with some of my favourites, they themselves lose the "spark" or "edge" themselves which is only natural i guess, in my case i suspect it is due to...
1.not having to have to do it anymore,but a 'doing it for the fans' mentality
2.having played or sung he songs for so long that they forget the meaning of them
niether of the two reasons mean the artist is actually "losing their skill/craft" but simply,like i stated, lost that intense spark and energy...
my suggestion....simply remember the joys and excitement they they have given YOU over the decades and continue to see them live as a mark of respect for the great memories they have given you mate...
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
