I haven't been to a concert but Frampton sounds pretty decent from some video I've seen recently. Old, yes, but still sounding good.
He should make a new "Frampton's Still Alive"

In the last several months I’ve seen:

Paul McCartney
ZZ Top
Styx
Santana
Def Leppard
Taylor Dayne

All old frickers and all put in great shows.

I saw Cheap Trick tonight and they still sound pretty good. My first Cheap Trick show was 41 years ago (opened for REO Speedwagon). Tonight was a good show for a band that has been touring for almost 50 years.

3 years ago in New Orleans, I was blown away by how amazing they sounded.
Robert Smith was 64 years old

Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Some instrumental guitar guys - Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani
Geoff Tate

Metallica - James and Robert sound good, that's it. Kirk has completely mailed it in and Lars is also terrible. Still love the energy of their shows but considering now they only play 60k+ arenas and Kirk barely shows up anymore, I don't consider them in this category.
