Steely Dan Live Performance of Glamour Profession at Nissan Pavilion
In the summer of 1996, Steely Dan graced the Nissan Pavilion with their smooth sound during the 'Art Crimes Tour', a nod to their enduring status in the rock and jazz-infused music scene. Just prior to this live performance, the band released 'Two Against Nature' in 2000, marking their first album in two decades. This triumphant return not only showcased their signature blend of sophisticated arrangements and witty lyrics but also revitalized their fan base. Interestingly, the live 1996 recording captures the essence of their earlier work, particularly the song 'Glamour Profession' from their 1980 album 'Gaucho', weaving the band's meticulous musicality with their witty storytelling. It's a fascinating glimpse of how their sound evolved, while still resonating deeply with audiences, proving that even after years apart, they remain a timeless force.
