Yes, and it always bugs me when FReepers post a YouTube link to some performer doing their whatever hit song but in recent times.

In some cases they just want the live performance not the MTV video or audio from the actual time so they’ll get a performance from some geriatric band croaking through their hit without the original horns or strings and it sounds like crap. The problem here is often nobody has a recording from the earlier time, and of course YouTube is going to favor the 4K/HD version recorded recently, as opposed to the crappy Ed Sullivan video tape version from 1965.

I recently tried to post Boz Scaggs doing Lowdown (from 1976), posting him doing it live in 2016. It is NOT the same.

I’d rather watch the older Ed Sullivan video as that’s how I remembered them in my youth, and they don’t look like old men, similar to the old guy I see in the mirror lately.
