every time i go to see an act that was good in the 70s or 80s, it sucks.... the music is slower, has less energy, etc. in the last few years I've seen the Eagles, Huey Lewis, Steely Dan, the Rolling Stones, and, just the other day, Boz Scaggs. they all sound like their music aged 30 years with them. wtf
I agree that this is true in about 90 percent of cases. The one conpicuous exception was Roxy Music; I caught them on their last tour. Still sensational, energetic, brilliant musicianship and showmanship.
I'm going to say that Johnny Cash is also a pretty notable exception.
From what I hear, the Eagles and Steely Dan sound pretty good, though their voices are a little older. However, their musicianship is still very good if not better. Also, those, recordings are well crafted and raise the bar high.
Huey Lewis was never that good and that fact will show more so now.
If you listen to great musicians, they will sound good, as good, maybe better until the Senior years (btw, the Stones are that old). I saw Chick Corea (acoustic band) a few years ago... he was jaw dropping.
The voice will change and sound "slower" with age. The instrument chops don't really slow with age.

I miss Bob's early voice:

You're 100% right, but its cause they are older. Thats the only reason.
You know The Band had this song called "Rockin Chair" where Richard Manuel used to sing about how he was "pushing age 73." It was a great song when they started out, but by the time of the Last Waltz, Richard Manuels voice had gone to shit from all of his hard living, and it actually made the song better because he really sounded like he was pushing age 73 when he sang it.
Also, I would say The Allman Brothers Band is an exception to this rule, they are probably as good as they have ever been.
Also, most rockstars live really hard lives, and it causes them to age MUCH faster, so bands like the Stones seem older than they really are. I mean its a miracle that Keith Richards is even still alive.
Why do runners run real slow when they get old?
Billy Joel still sounds great but The Police... not so much
Hall and Oates can still rock and same with Earth Wind and Fire
thats all the "old" musicians i've seen live
You should get your pineal gland examined; because yours
appears to have turned into a clit; better watch out, because you are likely going to grow tits soon.
Wine is like piss when it is a week old; when it ages a few
years it becomes deep, solid and bold; and loses it's
superficiality.
