Steely Dan

In September 2000, Steely Dan was riding high on the success of their album "Two Against Nature," which had been released just the previous year. This album marked their return to the studio after a considerable hiatus and won them their first Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 2001, reviving their legacy as jazz-rock innovators. The live recording from the Clyde Auditorium in Glasgow showcases their tight musicianship and polished sound, traits they became renowned for. It's interesting to note that Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, the duo behind Steely Dan, were known for their meticulous studio production. So, witnessing them perform live, especially in such an iconic venue, adds another layer of excitement. Their unique blend of rock, jazz, and sophisticated lyrics has left fans captivated, making this performance a cherished moment in their long career.
