1. More reviewers are noticing that Al really can sing.
2. More reviewers are noticing that the band is versatile, tight, consistent and really kicks butt. The reviewers also usually comment that Al's had his core band for about 25 years and his keyboardist since 1992 and that that kind of consistency is very atypical.
Casual fans and concertgoers may or may not really appreciate the band, but people who know anything about music, performing, etc., almost always seem to note the band's excellence.
In 49 concerts, I've never heard any of them be musically 'off'. Amazing.

Awaiting July 17.........
