I wholeheartedly agree with you on that for the most part - but if you really think performances like these three aren't even bearable, I don't know what is for you:

And yes, I'm 100% sure that somebody like Seb will come and say "that Bed Of Roses is just a terrible shout-fest, him being able to hit the notes doesn't mean he's singing them - also, Phil's playing doesn't have the feeling this song requires", "Saturday Night is only somewhat decent for the ad-libs during the breakdown, the normal parts sound absolutely dreadful" and "Always is simply awful, he's straining his balls off to belt out the last chorus like in the past but the range just isn't there anymore".
That said, I - and many others - surprisingly enjoyed these performances a lot more than usual in the last 5-6 years, and that makes them definitely above par nowadays.
