Dude

I've seen Brian Wilson three times since he's been "back" (this time). He made some great records 40 years ago but his live show is getting pretty tired now.

Fair point about his best stuff being in the past

But that's hardly justification for saying it's getting tired.
Seeing him 3 times since he came back is probably more than most people will have managed, it's not like he's exhausting his audience with constant, incessant touring.
