oh Ian cant hit those high notes anymore. the last time i saw him was about 15 years ago and you know that awww aww aww part in Child of time? I couldnt even do it as a kid let alone at his age, i could feel his tonsild bleeding

There were definitely some sections/songs that Jeff Lynne can't hit anymore but there was a great backup singer doubling/taking the lead as needed - and on camera too, they weren't trying to cover it up.
Avatar 9:46pm
Jeezy:

Speaking of Pop Legends... I saw Glenn Tillbrook last night at City Winery! His teenage son opened (it was rough) and rejoined him and his pre-teen daughter playing keys for the encore!
His voice has held up excellently, it must be noted.

nah dont cover it up, just the way it goes, do your best as you reach your limittiions, doesnt ruin it for me its a live show, im not playing the record

chris_in_space:

While we're talking oldies at the arenas gigs, I saw the Jeff Beck/Paul Rogers/Ann Wilson stop in Toronto a couple weeks ago. Missed Ann Wilson altogether. Paul Rogers's voice is near identical to the way everyone knows it. Jeff Beck is one of most singular guitarists on the planet. He's in great shape.

the orbison chorus would be hard to substitute, it was pretty sweet. so is this set, sorry to distract from it

Jeff Beck/Paul Rogers would be an intriguing show.

I'm not the biggest Wilburys fan so maybe not the best judge, but I thought the singer who sany the Orbison parts nailed it.

no me neither i wasnt a fan when it came out but now when i hear a song here and there i like them

Although it is a tad slick, there's not a bad track on the first Willbury's album. And it's rife with humor, relaxed fun and great melodies. It's pretty great, actually.
