He preforms, even performs, just fine for me. You make it sound like he routinely "passes out" (which is utter tosh), or routinely has difficulty .. ditto. And as Mel says, you cannot lay his knee surgery directly at the door of touring. Meat was heavily into sports and remains an energetic man .. the strain on his joints won't be simply due to touring, the improvement should enhance his whole life, not merely moving on stage.
I saw some of the best shows I've seen last tour, and expect to see some great ones next month. Meat imo is entitled to make his own decisions and do what HE wants to do. Hopefully this will include some shows from time to time, because he is a consummate performer in the round .. not merely a man who comes on stage to sing a number of songs, and should not imo be judged as such. He is bigger than that, fills and lights up the stage, makes a connection with his audience that is surpassed by none.
