Why see Steely Dan?
earth after hours tour
With music characterized by complex jazz-influenced structures and harmonies, Steely Dan's Donald Fagen and the late Walter Becker were famed for their cerebral, wry and eccentric lyrics. Despite the avant-garde nature of their music, their musical marriage turned out to be a winning formula - they have sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2001.
Once reclusive, the band now tours more than they ever did in their heyday, dusting off the classics and reinventing them in a way only Steely Dan can. Following the passing of Walter Becker in 2017, the line up currently consists of Donald Fagan and a group of expertly talented musicians. Expect genre-bending, virtuosic interludes, and of course, that trademark groove. Don't miss them live in 2020 on the Earth After Hours tour, where they will once again be joined by Steve Winwood!

I thought the show was amazing. Donald Fagen's voice is as strong as ever. Just disappointed they didn't play one of my favorites Deacon Blues. Overall great show and Syracuse Amphitheater is a great venue! ... Read more

The Dan at Boston's Orpheum--Does it get any better?
Over the last 25 (!) years, my two daughters and the family have seen Steely Dan perform about 6 or 7 times. Older daughter Stephanie bought 8 tickets in the first balcony of the 150+ year old Orpheum Theater for Friday's opening night performance ("Aja and greatest hits"). I should contextualize last night's experience to say that my daughter had seen the Dan last week in New York (where David Crosby sat in for a surprise rendition of "Wooden Ships") and that our first family concert was to see them at the so-called Tweeter Center, when the kids were maybe two and six. We had a great dinner at Pho Pasteur, right around the corner, and then walked up to the Orpheum, which is an intimate setting for a concert. The band was tight, Donald's voice was stronger than ever. Watching the drummer perform is actually mesmerizing! The set list was "something for everybody." The crowd was generally above 50, and obviously digging it, but not more than my 25 and 29 year old daughters! ... Read more

Better then Ever
It was my 8th or 9th show and it was as good as any. Keith Carlock stole the show. And that is really saying something with all the great players on that stage. The crescendos at the end of Bodhisatva were worth the price of admission alone. They stellar, peerless sound was no more evident then in the drum set it self. You could hear each piece evenly. You could hear the high regestries in the crash cymbols. They introduced Carlock last.
Very strong set list though I'm not a fan of Godwhacker. Great dark cool funky re-working of Your Gold Teeth II and Show Biz kids.
The only negatives were Aja - it still doesn't have the xylophones part - and the great background vocals. They weren't loud enough.
But other then that what a joy. I keep on threatening to buy the 250$ seats some year. Next tour I may do it. The playing, songs, and sound somehow, are getting better. ... Read more
