Misura I don’t think that’s it at all. He’s a very different performer these days. I think you’re right, his best work is in the past but it doesn’t mean what he does now isn’t good. He’s benefited from much more and favorable press than at the time of Waterpistol and the www has helped generate interest. Since he’s cleaned up he doesn’t have the self destructive streak working against him either.
The quiet crowds are baffling to me. Very different to the crowd of old, but most of us are older too, maybe it’s a natural progression. Only ever seen it with I Am Kloot before.
Arguably, Roddy Frame peaked with High Land Hard Rain but he still puts out good music and people wished he toured more.
Also, he’s not selling out massive venues is he? Maybe this is his natural level in a country of 60 odd million, give or take.
Are McCartney crowds quiet in England? They’re mental singalong love ins in the US.
