Perhaps they're playing too many shows. They're not as young as they used to be (stating the obvious! None of us are!) so maybe they should cut down a bit. Quality not quantity as the saying goes. Don't think anyone can do anything as well or as often as they could thirty years ago! Even Robin Zander's voice is sounding a bit laboured. (This is an observation not a criticism). Does he still smoke?
@ivyhope660 don't know if it's the number of shows or the length of the shows themselves. On the night I thought Robins voice was great all night but listening back to the few vids I took I'm feeling he started strong which set the tone for the night, then used his experience to push it when he needed to and "let it rest' when he could. No idea about the smoking.
@@StoneYeti Thanks for your reply. I've never been fortunate enough to see them live. I live in Edinburgh and for some reason CT were never that popular in UK. I only "discovered" them a few years ago via Velvet Revolver's cover of Surrender! Then Downed from At Budokan had me hooked! I couldn't believe the quality and quantity of their back catalogue! It's been a labour of love discovering all these wonderful songs! Robin Zander's vocals are jaw droppingly magnificent! (He was also incredibly hot and, quite frankly, off the scale with his sex appeal! How I never noticed him during 1970s, 80s, 90s, 00s is a complete mystery!). Anyway I will keep playing their music (watch lots of their live shows online while on exercise bike. I need something to take the pain away!) and will spread the word around about how damn good they are!
Rick looks kinda creepy shuffling back and forth across the stage....Tom Petersson too....might be time to give it up. Robin's voice is barely making it. Music was pretty good through the years though...
@covertmann while I thought it was a great night I felt it was probably their last tour. And yeah, at time they shuffled around the stage like other guys their age rather than striding like they did a few years ago.

@@ivyhope660 you can't know about every band out there, but you know them now and can enjoy the legacy.
