It was an amazing show. I think they really wanted to show off, to show they could still be more than relevant. I think they wanted to show that they could still be the best.
Steve Howe is always incredible, and so I kind of expected him to still be that way. But I guess I should remember that the guy is 72 years old, so my expectation of him is taking him for granted, in a way. I mean, I've seen him so many times, and he has always been so "on" that I take for granted he always will be. But we're all wound in the same mortal coil, and so for someone to still have nimble fingers at 72 is as amazing as someone that can still play football at an advanced age. We all lose the gift of physical agility at some point. Except Steve Howe, I suppose, 'cause that guy has it.
And Carl Palmer too. He has escaped Father Time as well. He's almost 70, and can beat those drums like a 20-year-old. Seriously. He played for two hours straight - through the ELP and Asia sets. What voodoo magic does a 70-year-old guy possess to maintain the stamina to rapidly and precisely execute the drums with the zeal of a teenager for two hours straight?
