I agree that LB is less spontaneous now but not to the degree you seem to. I do believe he does variations on ISA and Come, even though they aren't HUGELY different from night to night.
However.... I did think it was a little strange that he started to play ISA's guitar solo for Murrow during Soundstage. He stopped and muttered "I'm stealing from myself." Then he did another take and made it different. So I guess there is an element of habit in there, too, lol.
The one area we all know he lacks spontaneity in is the realm of speechmaking. That's why I find it hilarious that one of his rehearsed speeches is about "the importance of spontaneity." Does he even realize the irony inherent in that?! Surely he does! So why say it?
