Steely Dan

In July 1996, Steely Dan performed 'Wet Side Story' live at the Nissan Pavilion during their Art Crimes Tour, a pivotal moment highlighting the band's return to the stage after a long hiatus from touring. Leading up to this live recording, they had released their album 'Two Against Nature' in 2000, marking their first studio album in over two decades. However, it's fascinating to note that Steely Dan's rich history includes a period of experimentation and genre-blending that set them apart in the jazz-rock scene. During the mid-'90s, they were enjoying a resurgence in popularity, making their live shows particularly electrifying as fans clamored for their clever lyrics and intricate melodies. This live performance captures the quintessence of their sound, proving their ability to weave complex musical narratives that resonate even years later.
