I agree. When we're younger, we have less to compare with. If you're a frequent theatregoer, all those early performances that floored you when you were young (or at least younger than you are now) loom larger and larger over the years. It's tough (though not impossible) for later performances to equal the impact of what you remember. Of course, this does not seem to be true for everyone. Some people do think that there are fewer great stage actors today, and I sometimes do wonder a bit if that's true. But then I don't want to be like Shamraev in The Seagull. Bates was quite wonderful, I agree.
