Personally I thought his long hair did look better - and back then he would have looked wrong without it. But as he has got older - and maybe even a tad more calm (!), it perhaps suits him to have it shorter. At the end of the day, he still has that voice after some 25 years so we can't complain. I too was at Liverpool and indeed it does seem that the days of the crazy outfits and hankies are gone, but at least he isn't trying to pretend he's something he's not - he is a different man to the one back then, and his appearance reflects. At the end of the day, who looks better after years of rock n roll - him or Mick Jagger?
