Steely Dan live last night


Wow, saw Steely Dan live in Philly last evening at the Tower Theater. Performance was outstanding. Music was very true to the original recordings. Full band with horn section and 3 gorgeous female back up singers. Place was packed and rockin!! Fagen and Becker are not "burnt out" as some suggested but just the opposite. Fagen was high energy. They peformed the entire Royal Scam album plus Dirty Work, Hey Nineteen, My Old School, Aja, Peg, Josie, & Reelin' in the Years as the grand finale!! Whew, what a concert. My ears are still ringing and we were in the upper balcony!! Good thing. Plenty of volume and bass.

One of my all-time favorites. Their use of seasoned studio musicians always impressed. You can tell a Steely Dan composition from the first measure. Glad you got to enjoy them!
