Roger Waters (of Pink Floyd fame) was pushing 80 when I saw him perform a few years ago (he’s 81 now) and his show was absolutely incredible. He played one new song which I’ve totally forgotten, and of course all of the old songs, but wow that show is refined to a perfected science. Pigs literally flying, a literal wall coming up, laser lights, projectors, fake machine guns. Comfortably Numb was a standout, but he’s been doing this songs for over 40 years now to arenas. It’s astonishing. So many moving parts (literally and figuratively) and I’ll fondly remember it for the rest of my life.
Right, there was a time that many older rockers seemed "too old to rock and roll" but as you say, they have learned from all their successes and mistakes so they have it down to a science. My wife had an amazing time at a Bruce Springsteen concert similarly.
