Steely Dan

In the summer of 1996, Steely Dan delivered a memorable performance at the Nissan Pavilion in Bristow, Virginia, with "Green Earrings" making its way into the setlist. This live rendition came shortly after the release of their acclaimed album, "Two Against Nature," which premiered in 2000 and marked a remarkable return after a long hiatus. However, during the period of this recording, fans were still buzzing over their earlier hits and the anticipation of new material. The band's unique blend of rock and jazz, along with their sharp lyricism, had already solidified their cult-like following. Interestingly, their live performances were characterized by meticulous arrangements and stellar musicianship, traits that can be easily witnessed in this concert capture. Fagen's vocals and keyboard skills, combined with Becker's guitar work, created a magical atmosphere, showcasing their enduring chemistry and the fans' unwavering devotion.
