Not matter what age you are, traveling and performing constantly can take a physical toll, no matter the luxuries you are afforded. I sometimes feel that they could be overtaxing themselves as more and more shows are added, extending the tour into 2015. Has pressure and greed overtaken their sense of self-preservation, or do they really have the sustainability to continue this rigorous schedule?
I'd rather see them spending time in a studio, producing what could be their last album. While these shows are wonderful moments for fans, they are just that - fleeting moments of time. A body of work - an album of new songs that adds to their legacy is a permanent entity.

I agree. I'm going to the very last show of this leg, and am sort of nervous.
