Steely Dan - Josie Live Performance at Nissan Pavilion, Manassas, VA

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

In 1996, Steely Dan was enjoying a resurgence in their career, marked by the release of their album 'Two Against Nature' just a few years later in 2000. By this time, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker had reunited after a long hiatus and were actively touring, delighting fans with their sophisticated pop-rock sound. The live recording of 'Josie' from their performance at the Nissan Pavilion in Bristow, VA, shows the duo's eclectic style and stellar musicianship. Interestingly, 'Josie,' originally from their 1977 album 'Aja,' highlights their knack for blending jazz influences with rock—something that defines their appeal. This concert captures the magic of Steely Dan's live performances, where their complex arrangements and witty lyrics truly shine, reminding us why they remain iconic in the music world.
