The Floyd are without doubt the most over-rated band in history. The same applies to Mr Waters. His perverted opinions on the origins of the invasion of Ukraine are not worth discussing.

Re Bob Dylan butchering most of his songs onstage, turn to his recent album Shadow Kingdom which is a recording of a small venue live performance. Comprised of nearly all 60s work and stylistically minimally re-worked, he sings like he hasn't done for 30 years. See tracklist below. Order at once, in vinyl or polycarbonate. You will be amazed what the man can still do. This of course calls into question whether other stage performances are butchering the songs. If Dylan couldn't sing them any other way, that might be butchering. But now we know he can, at the age of over 80. So perhaps he doesn't see other performances as butchering his work.

@grislybutter I like most of Allen's work over the last 20 years or so. It is much more varied than his first 30 years film making. Since you haven't seen them, you will be pleased to learn that so far as I remember there were no under 21s appearing so any alternative action must have taken place off camera. As for Mr Spector, after a few listenings I could do without his wall of sound that was far too samey and ruined George Harrison's masterpiece album and also a Leonard Cohen LP amongst a lot of others. It is a strange world today's youth live in where murder isn't too much of a problem (think gang killings in the USA and Latin America and stabbings in the UK) but the merest negative comment against black lives, LBGT+++++++++ad naus and Me Too are the grave sins of the day.
