I'm fully comfortable going overboard, if that's what it takes.

I saw the Rolling Stones for the first time in 2003. Was that their heyday? Was the entire audience hanging on every night? Was there real socio-political significance to the show?

No.

Was I blown away by their sheer professionalism and talent as entertainers? Did my jaw drop time and time again as they rocked out old numbers with shocking exuberance and physical acrobatics? Did they hit the notes in a way that consistently moved me to rock, reflect, and roll?

Fuck yes!

3.0 is technically flawless? They're "tighter than ever"? I'm sorry, but early- to mid-90's Phish would like a word with you. I have no problem whatsoever with the way they are playing now, but seriously, people, let's not go overboard here.
