Frankly, I don't put a lot of import on someone's expression while they're playing. Derek Trucks can play the most amazingly emotive stuff and look like he's reading a book while doing it. And personally I look totally constipated when I play. It's embarrassing. Even when I'm totally enjoying myself and the ideas are flowing smoothly... so to speak!

Expressions are an eye into character, and as such are always interesting, part of what makes live performances so much more interesting than recorded. But I agree with you inasmuch as there is no "normal" expression one should have, whether extroverted, introverted, excited or calm. I hate watching myself on video, but that's probably the same thing as hearing your voice on recording: with few exceptions, nobody likes their own.
What is troubling about ol' Philly's fizz is the hangdog look of a guy who's self assessment has gone through the basement. Probably his conscience working on him, my guess. Bloody damn monkey!
