I don't know if it's a sound thing or a breathing/pace thing but he seems to sing a bit behind time, doesn't he?

Very slightly (but not as much as Bono sometimes ). If you have to sing over a very loud singing crowd you might have to phase a bit differently not to get drowned out or get lost.
I don't see him wearing In-Ears so he's relying on stage monitors. Other reasons could be artistic, singing a line after the beat instead of on top of it. But think his hearing is fine, he even counts down the band at 2:10 in this video and is spot on.
I do think his vocal tone has suffered a bit, more tight than raw. But at 73 this is still very impressive I think. This is the 28/04 version

Good point about the count! It also gets better as the song progresses - it was probably a pacing thing, maybe the previous song was very intense or he had been running aroudn the stage so he was a bit out of breath for the first verses.
It's still impressive for a 73 year old guy, that's for sure. Not only about the vocal delivery but the show he/they still put on.
