I can only hope we get a DVD out of it.

You're welcome.

And ain't that the truth regarding a DVD. nod
I did see camera equipment so maybe there's hope.

Damn, now I want to go see them on Tuesday night at Shoreline. neutral

It's my birthday that night, however, I am being treated to the Reverend Al Green at the Paramount Theater in Oakland. biggrin Booker T is opening that show. biggrin biggrin

But still, I kind of wish I was going to see the Dan, since I saw Al last summer and I have never seen SD. I checked ticket availability a few days ago and there were great seats available if you only want to buy a single.

Thanks for the review tA.

I hear ya.

Never saw them before either.
Just couldn't take a chance on missing them and then finding out that this was it.

And I'm jealous too. pout

biggrin Sounds like it was a great show. Thanks for the review. nod

I would have had to run back into the venue though if I heard "FM" during the encore. lol It's one of my favorites.

It was tempting to stay for the encore but I had the fear of traffic in me. neutral

Donald Fagen is not a great singer but his voice is perfect as the quirky persona he and Walter Becker have concocted and whose perspective they write through.


In absentia, so I popped in a bootleg from 96. Fagen's vocals have always been annoying; even more so live. I hope they had the femme bkgrnd singers to smooth things out. They skipped "Aja" on my bootleg and that just ain't right! sad

Wondered if they'd slip Mike back in for some numbers. That sounded like a good time, but expensive and too much traffic for a mid-week nite out.

Funny, on my bootleg I hear a metronome "tick tick tick tick..." in between tracks. They're very precise, eh?

He "sings" with much more confidence these days given his shortcomings in that area.
And the ladies do smooth things out.

MM's additional voice took things up a notch.

Didn't notice Carlock with any additional headgear but I could've been fooled by some tiny in-ears.
What I have seen a few drummers use is a hand held metronome with the exact bpms for each tune preprogrammed to establish tempos for count offs.

The grooves were on and the band was tight.

Psych! Sounds eek What a great set! Long, too. What was the time on the show? The MM one is a nice set as well (except for Sweet Freedom barf)

Michael McDonald must've come on between 7:30-7:45 and off at 8:45.
Steely Dan was on at around 9:15 till some time after 11:00.

All his solo Pop tunes, including Sweet Freedom, sounded much more ballsy live.
(now clean up that vomit disbelief )

Great performances by both acts.

nice detailed review of the show, TA..

I'm still looking forward to seeing Donald & Walter in Bristol VA on August 13, but I'm a little surprised about the setlist..

it makes sense that Michael McDonald would come on after the intermission, but I wonder how it happened (maybe they all agreed to it?) that MMcD doesn't sing on 'time out of mind', 'I got the news' or (even) 'black friday'.. songs with which MMcD is associated
(ESPECIALLY 'time out of mind)

'cousin dupree'??? that's 1 of the VERY FEW Dan songs I don't like..
eh, if they're playing only 1 song from 2vN, it CLEARLY needs to be
JANIE RUNAWAY.

& NOTHING from PRETZEL LOGIC??
wow.

I'm sure (or at least I'm hoping) that Donald & Walter are changing up the setlist a little on each show..

also, I wonder why nothing from Fagen's SCRUFFY THE CAT is on the setlist..
not that anything would have to be, but I know that sometimes in the past DF has played a few of his songs in the shows..

eh, I need to calm down & simply appreciate their usual PURE MUSICAL GENIUS, as infrequently as they tour..

the MMcD setlist looks good.. looks like he will play everyting I want to hear!

yeah..
I plan to get there REAL EARLY, to make sure I get my STEELY DAN T-SHIRT..!
smile
I'll see you tonight..
in ALL MY DREAMS..

I'm sure the decision to play Cousin Dupree had to do with the running gag they had going which is outlined here:

I've heard some live tracks by them before. Even saw them live on PBS or some shit like that. They were actin' a fool. They're no joke when it comes to the musicianship, that's for damn sure. Some of the most poilished sounding cats.
