Steely Dan

By July 2003, Steely Dan was riding high on a wave of nostalgia and renewed interest, having recently released their album 'Two Against Nature' in 2000, which marked their first studio album in over two decades. The live recording from the Pacific Amphitheatre at the Orange County Fair captures the duo in peak form, weaving their signature blend of jazz rock and sharp lyrical wit. Interestingly, this performance came just a few years after their classic lineup returned to the stage, leading to an impressive resurgence in their popularity. Fans were treated to a mix of hits like 'Reeling in the Years' alongside tracks from the more recent album, highlighting the band's timeless appeal. Plus, it's worth noting that Steely Dan's eclectic sound and the complexity of their music, paired with a fantastic live band, make their shows an unforgettable experience.
