Steely Dan

In 2003, when Steely Dan performed "Haitian Divorce" at the DTE Energy Music Theatre, they were enjoying a resurgence in popularity. This live recording took place shortly after the release of their album "Everything Must Go" in 2003, which was a return to form for the band and marked their continued evolution in sound. Notably, this album reflected their signature blend of jazz, rock, and sharp lyrical content, encapsulating the essence of Steely Dan. The performance at Pine Knob Amphitheatre highlights their timeless appeal, with Donald Fagen and Walter Becker delivering a polished yet spontaneous concert experience. Interestingly, Haitian Divorce itself first appeared on their 1976 album "The Royal Scam," showcasing how their rich catalog continues to resonate with audiences across generations.
