Interesting observation.

I had exactly the same feeling after visiting a Peter Gabriel 
concert last year.

The music was great, the show was awesome, all the other 
wonderful musicians were there, like bass and Chapman stick 
player Tony Levin; David Rhodes on guitars; David Sancious on 
keyboards and Manu Katché on drums.

Still I had that same "meh" feeling you describe. Later it dawned 
on me: I just hated seeing my all time favourite music artist as 
an old man on stage...

Same with, for example, the Rolling Stones. Somehow it seems 
wrong to hear a 70 year old man sing "Let's spend the night 
together"...

I probably won't go and see Gabriel (and other great musicians 
from the past) live again, so I can keep them alive in my mind 
the way they were when they were still "young".

Now I just have to find great new arttists...
