Steely Dan

On September 10, 2000, Steely Dan performed 'Bodhisattva' at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, a highlight from their extensive catalog. This live performance came after the release of their acclaimed album 'Two Against Nature' in 2000, which marked a triumphant return for the duo after a lengthy hiatus. Notably, this album won the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album, showcasing their meticulous fusion of rock, jazz, and complex arrangements. The concert itself comes a few months after the album's release, embodying the polished sound that fans had come to expect. Interestingly, Steely Dan's live shows around this time were characterized by a more dynamic stage presence, due to their rigorous rehearsal process. It was a chance for them to showcase their enduring hits and musical mastery while connecting authentically with audiences.
