Stevie isn't Cher, Tina Turner, Bette Midler, Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, or Bruce Springsteen. She can't be expected to have the same energy level as these others just because she's close to the same age. I'm 25 years younger than most of those people and I have less energy than they do.
As others have said, sounds like she had an off night but still put on a nice vocal performance. It's really up to the audience to decide if they got their money's worth. If Stevie starts putting in lethargic performances on a regular basis, then she will find smaller audiences over time. I personally don't care if she spins around anymore or does high kicks. As long as she sounds good and looks like she enjoys being on stage, I'll continue to see her.
