At least he can still play well in his 70s:
-
Homie sold his catalog to support his failed golf course. Without royalty checks coming in, he needs another way to pay the bills.
-
Seeing him being this petty is part of the fun. It's a total spite band.
-
Even KK was still full of energy in his 70s
-
At least having a dog isn't nearly as expensive as having kids.
-
Wasn't meant to. Life is good without an obligation too.
-
Molly Hatchet's first few albums are pretty damn fun
-
It can also get you home early "gotta go let the dog out". But it can also limit you for the same reason

Having a dog is a good time.

Old Bands with Great Late Releases
Union 5-3992 replied to Union 5-3992's topic in Music Of The Spheres
I really don't think 13 has aged very well. It's good for what it is, but I'd argue The Devil You Know by Heaven and Hell might be Sabbath's last great album. It's definitely the best thing Dio did in his later career. -
I heard that for the first time blind and was like "was that f***ing Jethro Tull?". Turns out it was.
-
Not exactly a song you expect to have Ian Anderson on

I almost forgot about Hackney Diamonds by the Rolling Stones. That album was far better than it had any reason to be. -

I really could barely get through Atum the first time I played it. I should revisit it. Out of 33 songs, a few should be good. But there's definitely enough bad in there to have kept me away. -
If the new Opeth album with Ian Anderson on it is any good, that may end up being the best music he's had anything to do with in 20+ years. It's a low bar.

I haven't seen the forum come together to celebrate an album like this in a while. I don't think it's as good as Painkiller, but I've rarely heard a band 50 years into their career release an album this strong. The Rolling Stones also did it last year with Hackney Diamonds. Usually what I expect out of legacy acts like this is some of the same uninspired crud that Yes or Jethro Tull still release.

I'd include 90s bands. If a band's most popular album is more than 25 years old and they release something great now, that should count. Even that's strict considering a lot of classic rock/prog bands were considered old timers back in the 1980s -
All the hype around Judas Priest's new album had me thinking. What other bands have had a great album late into their career that stands alongside their classic seminal works. It got me thinking about another band's 19th studio release: Rush - Clockwork Angels This was the first studio album release since I became a fan and I played the thing to death when it came out. Revisiting it earlier this year with Geddy's book made me realize how well it still sounded. Some people have soured to this one over the years, but it really stands up well for me still. Of the last three albums Rush released, this was the most inspired and fresh. Because of the novel and story, the album actually feels like it has a sense of direction and purpose.

It was surprisingly full. But a full Town Ballroom is only like 1/7th that of Riverworks This is a photo from the openers:
