He's been singing 40+ years, those albums were sped up, he's had 4 surgeries on his voice over the years, and the songs he sings are the hardest out there and wears down the voice like no other artists songs. So anyone who thinks he should sound the same as 1977 or 1993 is lazy and hasn't done their homework as he said.

I don't think people should be required to "do their homework" in order to enjoy a show; they pay their money and expect to be entertained.
Personally, I like to know what songs an artist has been performing before I go to a show, because I feel that I enjoy the concert better if I know the songs. However, I don't feel that I'm under any obligation to do so, and that I'm "dumb" if I don't.
