Steely Dan

Before the live recording at the Orpheum Theatre on November 17, 2021, Steely Dan had released their album 'Everything Must Go' in 2003, which marked a notable return, showcasing their signature blend of jazz, rock, and sharp lyrics. By the time of this performance, the band had navigated through decades of musical evolution and lineup changes, with founding members Walter Becker and Donald Fagen continuing to enthrall audiences. This live recording captures not just their classic sound but also the distinct energy of a band that has perfected its craft over the years. Interestingly, the performance setlist includes the iconic 'Aja,' highlighting the enduring appeal of their 1977 album of the same name—a pivotal work in their discography. Fans got to experience the seamless merging of spontaneity and precision that Steely Dan is known for. Can you believe how they've managed to stay relevant for so long?
