Steely Dan performs Midnight Cruiser live in Virginia 1996

Venue: Nissan Pavilion Location: Bristow, Virginia, United States Date: July 21, 1996

In 1996, Steely Dan was in the midst of a resurgence, having just released their album 'Two Against Nature' a few years later, in 2000. However, during the live recording of 'Midnight Cruiser' on July 21, 1996, the band's vibe reflected their classic sound, drawing on their rich history while also hinting at their beloved jazz-influenced pop style that fans adore. Interestingly, this concert was part of their first tour in over two decades, which re-energized their fanbase and brought a new generation into the fold. The Nissan Pavilion in Bristow, Virginia, buzzed with excitement as they performed, showcasing not just nostalgia but also a confident resurgence—much like a vintage car revving back to life after years in the garage!
