Steely Dan - FM Live Performance at Nissan Pavilion, Manassas, VA
In July 1996, Steely Dan delivered an electrifying performance at the Nissan Pavilion in Bristow, VA, shortly after the release of their album "Two Against Nature" earlier that same year. This marked a significant return for the duo, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, who had been largely absent from the music scene since their last studio album "Gaucho" in 1980. The live recording captures the nostalgic essence of their unique blend of jazz-rock, showcasing their hit "FM". Interestingly, their music, known for its sophisticated lyrics and intricate compositions, gained a renewed interest during the 90s, as they embraced a resurgence with this tour, revitalizing their fanbase and attracting new listeners. The Nissan Pavilion gig exemplified their meticulous arrangements and tight musicianship, a hallmark of Steely Dan's style, solidifying their legacy in American music.
