While watching Smokey Robinson tear it up last night
I thought about this post and I fully get what OP's trying to say
Not only did he have 2 hours+ full of hits, he delivered on every single song
dude even got a standing o for ripping ooh baby baby like it was 1963
and that was only the 4th song into his set...
I can't see any of today's artists in their golden years getting it in like that
He's taken care of his instrument, his voice, very well over the years.
I would highly suggest checking him out if he came to town whether you're a fan or not, but to see how its supposed to be done live.
