I don't think expectations are too high. We're just amazed at how bad they are lately. I know they could be fabulous because...well..they are fabulous. BUT, they've become tired, boring, out-of-touch, lazy, and despondent. Looking back on the Dateline clip, I'm amazed that Stevie would say that they are magic on stage and for us to wait and see. We waited and THIS is what we see???
If the hardcore fans like us are pouncing on them like this for their bad performances, what does the public think? I don't understand why they would perform like that for everyone to see in the hopes of buying the new album. if I wasn't a big fan, it'd turn me off and running for the hills.
I just want to know what happened. To go from 1997 to this?
