Ach. Well I understand. It’s because the rebellious, insolent, outrageous magic of those shows were largely outshone by the subsequent worldwide fame, fortune, and permanent installation.
Not that they haven’t held up, because they have - just that they became so standardized if you weren’t there during the days when if you didn’t see it live it was gone - it’s harder to appreciate. As those years rolled up everyone either knew what they were seeing or were just hearing about it (or, hilariously, were pointing it out to be anti-American flag-wavery, a lá Babs Bush). At a certain point they were undeniable. Season 3 sounds right.
