this tour has actually been a lot shorter then the 07 one, and it definitely showed. The two shows Ive been to showed a vocal range that's been far better than last year.
The sad thing is, though, that you cant be sure to get a good show anymore. The chance is 50/50 to attend a decent show, but compared to the last few years thats a good rate.

Has he EVER looked like he was enjoying a show?

agree, (but he's already done it this year)

Hes in a bad position there. There are songs that the audience just expects, and with a 30 year career those are quite a lot.
No idea though why he doesnt drop songs like Lemon or Frying Pan in favour of others songs from his back catalogue.
