It's disturbing, all the complaints. When Rufus drummed TYMD, it was "Roger is too old for that song". Now it's Roger drumming on TYMD, nobody says anything. They're old? Yes. They're brilliant? Yes! And the songs are greates hits, because they're not playing clib gigs but big halls and stadiums.

Agreed, someone before the first dates of the US leg was saying they wouldn't play Its Late because Roger "couldn't drum it".
It's clear he can still play, but he is lacking the ferocity he used to have. Clearly whether it's Rufus or Tyler it isn't Roger carrying the rhythm section for a lot of the show.
If you watch Ginger Baker at the Cream reunion gigs 10 years ago he was playing better than Roger was then or now and he was doing it on his own
