Just listened to that These Days performance... just awful. Saying it's not their worst performance or better than the ones from the past couple years is no barometer for success. It's hard to listen to an awful version like this of one of my very favorite songs, and, in my opinion, one of the best songs ever recorded. I'm currently listening to the performance of These Days from Rio de Janeiro on the Circle Tour, and granted, it was 7.5 years ago now, but it was immeasurably better than what just happened last night. Even the performances from 2013 are leaps and bounds better.
I agree with what was posted above. We're not slagging off the band just because we want to, we're doing it because we want to see them realize their potential. We've seen them so much better not very long ago.
Following the trajectory they're currently on, it's going to be more and more difficult to watch this band fade away the way they are. And you can't blame us for not wanting to see that... especially when this band has been a big part of the lives of so many of us.
