I believe "movement" the way it's being used here includes a lot of other things, like passion and just making people believe he wants to be there doing that.
I can see him just going through the motions, just getting the songs over with, he doesn't have to move around a lot to connect and entertain.
Yet, I think that he is a little let down of the new songs live reception and totally self-aware of his voice condition so he can't enjoy it. His problem is that he wants to be relevant so hard, and he wants his new stuff to be loved and it doesn't work that way. Playing the old hits and stuff should be something he really wants to do, because they were awesome songs back them and they are awesome songs now. There is nothing to be ashamed of having a glorious past and a not so bright present.
Also, if you are selling the new songs live and unreleased, please make awesome performances for them. He looks bored doing even the new songs, no awesome intros, no passion, nothing.
