After watching the clips from the tour, I had to look at some older clips to remind myself that Leonard crouching and holding the mic close to his bowed head are not indications of aging, but are really the same way he has performed in the past. For instance, look up the performance on Jools Holland of "The Future." His hunching didn't seem to make him look old then, and he is just uses the same mannerisms today.
